catch-all for monica shadowing huey

[maskmaker]

[im gonna do this]

august 2; morning to midday

[maskmaker]

[she disappeared the night of the 1st because she doesn't actually stick around 24/7. last night she curled up in christopher's place now she's back and she doesn't say anything but she's definitely there. there's a flash of golden hair every few blocks huey walks outside or you know she's keeping an eye on wherever he's dwelling rn.]

august 2; nighttime

[maskmaker]

[yeah she's still hanging around and she almost alllmost approaches but she doesn't. she's just watching]

august 3; morning

[maskmaker]

[SHE'S ACTUALLY NOT THERE

but her presence is]

august 4; evening

[maskmaker]

[even if Huey doesn't look up she's definitely there. she's sitting a little ways away with her tablet, talking to people sometime but you know her attention hasn't left Huey completely]

at any time

[maskmaker]

[should a native or anyone try to mess with huey chances are monica hunted them down later and went all mask maker on them without killing anyone (yet) and they were left with nightmares for a week]

august 5; mid-morning

[maskmaker]

[she reaches over to grasps his sleeve momentarily as she walks up to him but she pulls back almost and just smiles a little]

august 5; the rest of the day

[maskmaker]

[she seems to be gone. there's not even a flutter of her golden hair]

august 6;

[maskmaker]

[she is apparently watching from the window today should huey leave the housing building]

august 7;

[maskmaker]

[she knows huey knows she's following again, so she doesn't even try to hide it. in fact, she's pretty close today, maybe just a dozen feet away, although she never approaches]

august 8-11; STALKING TAGS ARE HARD

[maskmaker]

[You're walking in the city
There's might be people around and you're not looking at your tablet
Out of the corner of your eye you spot her:
Monica Campanella.]

august 12;

[maskmaker]

[It's hard to tell what overcame her. What could convince her to let go of the one thing she managed to grasp?

but it's there. the handkerchief Huey gave her on the first day is sitting outside his dwelling, washed and folded nicely and sitting in a basket with a couple pieces of bread she baked. in the language they shared in Lotto Valentino, it says "thank you"]

august 13;

[maskmaker]

[monica's presence flickers in and out. she's still there, but not as constantly as before.]

audio; a few days after Huey told him to contact him, instead of immediately after

[inhumanity]

As you requested.

I've nothing of interest to report, however. The days are dull and dreary. As dull and dreary as the skies. Could this mean I've mastered pathetic fallacy? My roommate said she'd care to meet you some time. I think I'll return to tending the flowers under the dull and dreary skies. They especially need cheering up, you know.

( '-')

[observingfate]

Tell me about your roommate.

[inhumanity]

[from this]

As of course could only be anticipated for one such as myself, I've found a rabbit of the moon. Sadly, I was alone at the time of my discovery. However, all my loneliness at such tragic abandonment has itself abandoned me now that I have spoken with my friend the rabbit! Is it your wish to meet her?

[pleasesaynopleasesaynopleasesayno]

Re: voice

[observingfate]

Congratulations. I would like to, of course. I should observe your accomplishments after all.

why are all of these your stalker or your laboratory dog? I MEAN Nov 26

[inhumanity]

[A month ago, Christopher's thought process before sending this message would have gone as follows:

Should I send a message to Master Huey? I don't want to, I don't want to talk to him. He might have orders for me. He'll contact me if he wants me. Unless it's an experiment to see whether I'll initiate contact. Unless it's an experiment to see how much I've changed. If I forget I ever thought about this, then I won't be rebelling by not contacting him. A lapse of thought is also a failure.

In the end, fear would have triumphed and Christopher would have contacted Huey.

But now, the thought is only this:
Oh, we don't have Liza or the Twins. I suppose I ought to ask him for instructions before I leave.

So the experiment obeys his moulded whims.]

If you have any instructions for my mission to Earth, I will joyfully obey them.

because who the hell would want to talk to huey

[observingfate]

[Ah. I see. It is different this time. Disappointing but predictable.]

If you find human organs that aren't being used, please bring them to me. You may also include teeth as well if they're intact. Of course, make sure not to let anyone know that you're carrying such goods.

Tell me if the library is still available. If possible, bring books back with you, it doesn't matter which.

Lastly, if you can find a flower, I'd like to have one of those as well.

In terms of priority, from most important to least, it is flower, organs, books.

December 6th oh my god i'm always filling up your inbox with this stupid uncute dog i'm so sorry

[inhumanity]

[please accept as a token of my apologies this series of actually cute dog pictures]

[and now for a dog far less adorable than those ones]

As you requested, I gathered all of the objects you mentioned without it becoming known to any others.

[Well. The guy he killed might have had some kind of vague idea? But then he was dead so. Really, that doesn't count. And it's not like the guy knew why he was dying.

Chris didn't even get to kill him bloodily, it wasn't fun at all, next time can he be really obvious? Please, please, please? Pleaaaaase?]

[observingfate]

[ok hunny, I promise next time.]

Mmm, you may bring them to me when you have spare time.

on christmas day

[affectate]

[There's a box on Huey's doorstep! It is just there. Being a box with his name on it. Don't ask how she found his house.

If he opens it, he'll find a warm, yellow scarf folded neatly. Attached is a note:]

Merry Christmas, Mr Laforet!

[If the fact that he got a gift at all doesn't make it obvious, Monica, being Monica, might have seen a girl matching Elaine's description drop off a box.]

[vimdicare]

I finally have some time on my hands. Would you like to go out for tea soon? It's only fair that I treat you after taking so long to respond to your message.

[observingfate]

Please do not worry. I should have contacted you sooner really, and not during such a busy time. Tea sounds rather nice, however, so I'd love to meet up for some.

Would you like this to remain a private affair?

voice, a week or so after christmas oops I forgot

[affectate]

[But it's okay because she probably would have too. She actually only took a little under two days to read over the papers, but then she realized she totally forgot her manners. So:]

Ah, Mr Laforet! Thank you very much for your gift -- it was lovely.

voice

[observingfate]

[He sounds relatively cheerful to hear her voice actually!]

What a strange girl you are. You really don't have to thank me for something like that. Knowledge should be shared with many.
