 [Well, someone had found their present the Lambda gave them, although a little late than most.  He's just not very perceptive, okay? In fact he's a little surprise he even had a gift wrapped and addressed to him. so he the feed clicks on to show him lightly touching the paper, delicately trying to open it. A part of him wants to keep it wrapped, knowing full well the 'humor' this place seems to have, but alas, curiosity gets the better of him.  When it's unwrapped, it appears to be...a red desk lamp.  Well, it matches his coat, right?

And from the look on his face, you'd think he'd just been shot.  No...it couldn't be...]

Ray? Ray!

[He leans over, inspecting every part of this present, eyes as wide as dinner plates.]

Ray! It's me, Sissel! 

[The lamp doesn't move, but one of those words seems to trigger something, and the lamp flickers on. Sissel recoils back in surprise.  No, no this was too good to be true. He gave the lamp a slight poke, and it's stem bent in response.  There was no reaction, no nothing. Just a lamp who's light had flickered on.  It made Sissel's 'heart' sink as he slumps back, looking at it sadly.

He'd gone from completely happy to...pranked in about five minutes.]

Whoever did this has a weird sense of humor...

Just...thought this was someone I knew.

[Yes. You heard him right. The lamp.]

[dinnerdate]

You know a lamp?

[youdiedagain]

Well...more like a ghost inhabiting a lamp.

[dinnerdate]

...Sorry.

[youdiedagain]

It's okay.

It's just a lamp.

[He takes his sunglasses off for a moment, rubbing his eyes.]

It's a nice lamp, though. I need the light anyway.

[dinnerdate]

If you're sure.






Did you want to talk about it?

[He's a good listener. He can sit and listen all day.]

[youdiedagain]

That...that'd be nice.

[He really needs someone right now.]

[dinnerdate]

I can come sit and listen then. Keep you company for a while.

[youdiedagain]

...

Please.


[In fact, that's just what he wants.]

[dinnerdate]

[Well don't mind if he leaves right now then.]

I'm on my way.

[youdiedagain]

[All he can give is a chuckle as he waits.

That's Dead End, always punctual. It was...really nice.]
