I'm curious. What has arriving in Gloucester managed to ruin for you. For me, it's the beach and maybe carnivals.

Horror movies. Believe it or not, I used to be a fan.

[bossyboiler]

I believe it. Hard to take movie seriously when you've lived the real thing.

[easilyamused]

And hard to properly laugh at them when you're wondering if some of them might be autobiographical.

Sheep.

[You didn't see those sheep, did you, Kate? He hopes you didn't see those sheep.]

[bossyboiler]

Those are bad too. Maybe I should have asked what hasn't Gloucester ruined for you?

[worthallthis]

Chocolate. Coffee. Kites. People in general.

Lots of things actually.

The beach. Lambs. Candles. It's starting to make me very suspicious of my phone.

[bossyboiler]

I'm upset about the beach. It was one of the best parts about Gloucester. Ugh. I don't know what I'll do if my phone goes rogue. And as for candles, remember the carnival? I can never look at wax the same way.

[musicdied]

Frequently, in my nightmares.

[Okay, maybe it's mostly the second visit, under cover of night, and the desperate battle with Roderick. But still.]

At least nothing has ruined coffee yet. Maybe the Entities know that's the best way to make sure all of humanity rises up and goes to war with them.

Home.

[bossyboiler]

How did Gloucester ruin that?

[abrightboy]

By being better.

Phone cases?
Like, I can't get anything that even remotely resembles something pink and fleshy.
Just gives me the willies now.

[bossyboiler]

That's fair. Especially since it's a tactile sensation.

[thedoctorsmate]

Can't say I much fancy snow after getting frozen inside the flats for a week, either.
But it made me gear up for when the cold weather comes 'round again, at least.

[the_archivist]

...nothing? Why would it have ruined anything for me?

[bossyboiler]

Did you like anything before?

[bossyboiler]

Do you normally walk in traffic or something?

[Gloucester has been an introduction for her to so many things that most people take for granted, but.]

Fucking puppets. Hate those things so much now, when before I was ambivalent at best.

Also Halloween.

[bossyboiler]

I never cared for puppets but Halloween hurts. I really used to like the holiday. Damn.

This place has electricity, running water, food that you can buy on every corner, indoor plumbing, and most importantly, it's not in the fucking Arctic.

It hasn't ruined anything. It's better.

[bossyboiler]

Those are all great things. We could definitely be stuck someplace worse. But isn't there something from home that you used to like and don't care for now?

Sleep.

Dreaming, specifically.

[bossyboiler]

It's a shame that we have to sleep and dream to be functional.
