Comments

[rae_of_sun]

Is that a metaphor? Because everything seems normal on my end.

several infuriating minutes later

[eliotwaugh]

[this took a long time and Eliot's pissed, it's hard to type without mistakes when you can't see your fingers.]

No I am literally invisible light is passsing through me:

[attached is a photo of a phone hovering in front of a mirror and an invisible man invisibly frowning]

[rae_of_sun]

That's rough buddy. Magic-handling gone awry?

[rae_of_sun]

I'd offer to try and transmute you back to normal but that might be the worst idea ever, actually.

[eliotwaugh]

I dont think so? just woke up like this so I thought it might be a rift thing
thanks for the offer though glad you're ok

minutes later

[eliotwaugh]

yeah so I can't seem to get dressed bc shenanigans

[attached: photo of invisible Eliot wearing a visible shirt and holding visible phone in front of mirror]

This is bullshit.

[rae_of_sun]

So wait, does this mean you were naked in the first photo? Gross, Eliot.

[rae_of_sun]

I'm telling Johnny you're sending me nudes.

[eliotwaugh]

god no I am wearing Dries Van Noten pajamas that are now fucking INVISIBLE and I got them at Barneys and I will be so pissed if this thing is permanent because they were two thousand dollars!!!

Also I haven't even seen johnny in like a million years so w/e

[rae_of_sun]

Well, now I'm sad I don't get to see them.

2/2

[rae_of_sun]

But hey, the single life is pretty sheer. We should get drinks!

[eliotwaugh]

[holy shit has he been misinterpreting Sunshine's tone this whole time? Are things really that bad with her and Billy Idol?]

Oh shit, Im sorry, I know things weren't the best with Spike but i thought you guys were gonna get through it?? but YES drinks definitely

just gotta figure out if I can invisify some shoes and shit I wouldn't mind ruining so I can leave the apartment.

1/2

[rae_of_sun]

Wait who's Spike?

2/2

[rae_of_sun]

Anyway I'm at work, but you should totally come here and haunt the bakery and make cookies disappear. Then drinks!

[eliotwaugh]

That is a hell of a lot more flippant than i'd expect, are you sure you're okay?

cause uh brunch fiasco aside it'd be a LITTLE weird if we just stop talking about the vampire boyfriend, you gotta admit

[rae_of_sun]

[How does one respond to such a slew of ludicrous nonsense? The typing indicator appears and disappears a few times before the actual text comes through.]

I'm pretty sure I would have noticed a boyfriend, especially a frigging vampiric one. But why would I DATE a VAMPIRE gods that is actual crazy talk.

[eliotwaugh]

[Eliot also has no idea to respond to this, and there is a long period of radio silence while he tries to figure out what to say. In the meantime he gets some insight into the shenanigans thanks to Iman, and formulates the bare bones of something that might be called a plan.]

ha ha yes sorry that IS ludicrous, you know me what a card, just trying to keep things light what with all my silly ghost problems

anyway yes I think I will come over and haunt the bakery, give me a...while though, transit is gonna be rough.

[rae_of_sun]

[...]

Oookay. I'll keep an eye out. Ha.

[etherthief]

Hi Eliot! Did you know I have a crush on Greta

[eliotwaugh]

Okay couple things, who's Greta? I mean good for you of course, get it girl etc but I don't know anyone by that name

also totally not an answer! no offense but im kind of wondering if something is afoot here and i'd hoped maybe with your science wizardry knowledge you'd know somthing???

[he needs to take a minute to breathe. or drink. or calm the fuck down because snapping at his friends isn't gonna get him anywhere.]

[eliotwaugh]

sry this is just so inconvenient its driving me crazy

[a good while later]

[etherthief]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[etherthief]

I'm sorry, my fucking phone has been sending text messages of its own accord all damn day. I am not at all surprised you're invisible. Weird shit is happening to everyone. Some kinda rift bullshit probably

[eliotwaugh]

w o w

well honestly I'm really relieved, glad it's not just me
although that's super weird about your phone, shit

[eliotwaugh]

so who's Greta?

[etherthief]

she's a really nice lady who I am really trying very hard not to rush into anything with because she is NEW TO THIS CENTURY and my phone is making that really fucking hard

[eliotwaugh]

that's rough buddy

[etherthief]

The first time I actually really care about somebody in ages, too. like the gross weird kind of care. Like I just think about her all the time and want to be nice to her.

[etherthief]

YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH PHONE WE GET IT

[etherthief]

I guess I am just cursed or something

[eliotwaugh]

hopy fucacktuck godfuckgindammti

[eliotwaugh]

SHIT that is exactly it this Rift bullshit we've been cursed

[etherthief]

oh shit

[etherthief]

yep fuck I think you are probably right

[etherthief]

though I don't really know where 'piece-of-shit gossipy phone' fits into the curse mix

[etherthief]

how fucked up is this place that you're like WE'RE CURSED I did not even QUESTION IT

[eliotwaugh]

ugh I know right, what the fuck
this ishelpful though bc i think something's up with Sunshine, I'm gonna head out to glasers and talk to her if I can figure out how to wear clothes and not look like a movie monster

[eliotwaugh]

god im gonna have to take the fucking subway this is an actual nightmare

[eliotwaugh]

good luck with your phone though! and your ladyfriend!

[etherthief]

yeah yeah. you too

[etherthief]

[eliotwaugh]

yup she is hella rad and a fun drunk and I think the curse has made her forget her boyfriend??

[etherthief]

wow fuck. good luck with that seriously
