A/N: Zombie King really did send me a prank similar to the Hogwarts letter (though the letter may or may not be a prank). It was really interesting, as he said he was me in the future, yet he did not have any of my little writing quirks. For example, I rarely use fragments, and I rarely start sentences with lower-case letters. I also rarely misspell my own name. )
"Okay," I advised, "Nemari, I want you to call Zombie King. See if he did it. I'll call Schizwolf, and then mebbe we should all go on IM to discuss this. Nemari, you don't have IM, do you? Call me; I can use conference call, so even if I'm still on with Schizwolf I can tell you what's up. Then see if you can get on RS, and I'll meet you there."
"RS?" Nemari questioned.
"RuneScape," I clarified brusquely.
Cat Demon and Nemari thought it was a good plan, so we each hung up our respective phones. I dialed Schizwolf's number and waited for it to ring. It rang a couple of times, and someone picked up.
"Hello, may I speak to Schizwolf, please?" I asked as politely as I could without snickering. It was strange to just dial the phone and ask politely to have a pleasant conversation with a schizophrenic werewolf, and both of us knew it. It just wasn't done. However, it's probably even more strange to have somebody casually call me, and both of us were also aware of that.
" Just a second. I'll get her," responded her mother, for that's who was on the phone. Her mother knew that we used our Crazy Creature names to refer to each other, but she didn't know it was more than just a game. Therefore, she called my friend by her real name.
"/Schizwolf's name withdrawn for security/Grim Reaper/SuperSpy's name withdrawn for security/ wants to talk to you!"
I heard the thunder of her feet pounding against the stairs as she ran to the phone. "Yeah?"
"Cat Demon, Nemari and I got letters saying that we were accepted into this whacky school thingamajiggy named Hogwarts. You get one?"
"I don't know," she replied, "my mom hasn't given me my mail yet. Mom!"
I waited for a moment for her to ask, and then she got back on the phone. "Yeah," she responded. "Do you know what it's about?"
"Well, I thought it was a prank, but Cow didn't get one. If nobody gave the prank to Cow, then it's probably real. Y'know?"
A/N: I know Cow hasn't recieved one because Cow is my brother.
She laughed. "Yeah, you're right. If nobody gave the Interdimensional Hermaphrodite Cow a prank, then I don't know what this world is coming to!"
A/N: As you can see, nobody thinks very highly of him. In Crazy Creatures, he really is an Interdimensional Hermaphroditic Cow.
"Well, neway," I continued, I'd better get back to Nemari and Cat Demon. They got letters too, so Nemari and Cat Demon are going to meet me online. You wanna go on IM? I'll set up a chatroom."
"Okay," she replied hesitantly. "I'll see if I can tie up the phone line for a bit. Wait, neway?"
"Anyway," I explained brusquely. "Wish I could just meet you all in person, be much easier," I muttered exasperatedly. "Wish I could tell mom about my powers without her freaking out. Wish she'd let me have people over once in a while without her doing all the planning. I wish alotta things..."
"I wish you'd hurry up and hang up already," she moaned. Yeah, I talk a lot when I get going. Of course, I don't talk at all a lot of the time, too. I must annoy people to a great degree. What am I doing; this isn't even in an author note! NEway...anyway...
We hung up our respective phones, and I signed onto AIM. I closed all the windows, and opened my trusty FireFox browser. I typed in the Runescape URL, runescape dot com. It was pretty useful for chatting to Nemari, as she didn't have any other means of speaking to me through the internet. I set up a chatroom, and invited Cat Demon, as she was already signed on. Then I invited everyone else to the chatroom as they signed on. After that, I went back to FireFox and signed onto RS. This was going to be an odd conversation; mythical creatures, demons, and gods don't generally go on IM together to chat.
A/N: I prefer FireFox to IE no matter what. It blocks all of the bad stuff that can get onto your computers. It caneven block banner ads, if you know where to look. Yes, I'm advertising, but FireFox is free, and the orginization is nonprofit. Yay, getfirefox dot com!
A/N: Yea, I know, I sorta just...I don't know...stopped. I am working on all of my stories at once, and this one was sitting unfinished in my Document Manager, so I decided I'd just finish half of it and publish the rest later...
