     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – The Christiansen family seemed to be rather busy setting up for one of Joseph’s seemingly bi-weekly barbecues. Chris and Christian worked on preparing some of the drinks, while Christie-- Actually... She hadn’t come out of her room since that morning. She said she hadn’t been feeling well. While that may have been the case, she actually meant it to prevent them from seeing what was going on with her.

     As of late, she didn’t know how to explain what was happening to her. She just felt more sick more frequently. Not to mention some of the... Odd things she’d rather not discuss with her parents. Usually it happened when she was alone but, now it just started to get worse. Whatever was going on, she almost saw books fall on her brothers on more than one occasion, pots and pans being raised up in the middle of the night to threaten her of waking her parents. She had many sleepless nights because of it.

     She was now learning to accept it, there wasn’t much use fighting it anymore if it wasn’t going away. As a test to see if her theory was right, she went up to a cross that her father had her keep in her room, gently placing her hand on it. She touched it, feeling her skin burn as she did so. She only hissed in pain before pulling away, eyes scanning the now red mark on her hand, then narrowed as she could finally confirm it. There was something latched onto her. And this thing, whatever it was, didn’t want to just let her go. Not anytime soon.

     A knock at her door drew her from her thoughts. She stood, hand behind her back, and a somewhat shoddy attempt at a cheery tone as she gave a: ‘ Come in! ‘

There was exactly one person who called him that so Robert knew it was Christie before he’d opened the door - something he did caught between amusement and bemusement, because yeah, he’d told her he’d bring her out someday and that she could come over, but he hadn’t expected her to take him up on that so soon, this late, with stuff, and that slightly out of breath look that told him pretty clearly that she’d not only snuck out but was excited about it. 

Which, okay, fair. He could respect that. Besides, all teenagers needed room to explore their rebellion. He wouldn’t say no. 

Just, you know, he could still give her a Look before letting her in. He stood aside and Betsy immediately started dancing around Christie’s feet in excitement.

“Hey kid”, he said, and went into the kitchen to fetch his cell phone, which he’d left on the table. “Looks like someone’s itching for some action.”

He couldn’t blame her for that, either. He shot her a smile.

“You sneak out, or what?” 

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – A smile graced her face as she was soon greeted with the familiar face and tone that came from only Robert. Her eyes only dropping when the dopiest and most adorable bull terrier came out and started kneading her paws into Christie’s legs. Naturally, she knelt down, scratching behind Betsy’s ears with both hands, a cheerful laugh escaped her as she just melted into her touch.

     ‘ Hi, Betsy, ‘ she chimed, ‘ who’s a good girl? You are! ‘

     With that, she stood up, pup still trying to get her attention, while hers was focused on Robert. She was more ready than ever to be honest. Thing was, she wasn’t sure if she came at the right time-- Even if Robert seemed to be a bit ready himself.

     ‘ Yeah, been waiting all week for this. ‘ She nodded. ‘ And yes, I did sneak out of the house. You know how my dad would get if I told him we were doing this. ‘

“I think so,” she said, kneeling down next to Christie. She could figure that Joseph would probably hate the doll, but–

“How about we go inside and get it, hon?”

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – She bounced excitedly in her spot. ‘ Really? You mean we can get it? I’d love that so much! ‘

     Of course, she was immediately forgetting if it would freak out anyone else. No, she wasn’t concerned about that. She liked the doll. The fact Mary said that, made her all the happier about it. ‘ Yes! ‘

Hey I’m still alive, sorry, while I’m at school all my other dead blogs are slowly starting to kick my ass. But since I’m watching Annabelle with my parents, I figured I’d spend some time making icons and focusing on Christie for a while.

Mom -- glasscfwine:

Mary silently sipped her wine as she raked her eyes over the contents of her romance novel. She glanced up every now and then to observe her daughter as she fumbled with her school material. As Christie neared her position at the kitchen island, Mary was glad to have hidden her novel behind the facade of a cook book. 

She shut her “cookbook,” purposefully ignoring the out-of-place-looking bump in the center of it as she switched her attention to her daughter.

“Well, don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure you’ll get it eventually. Let me have a look…” Mary scanned over Christie’s homework.

Perhaps she shouldn’t have offered to look.

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – She knew right there-- There was no way she was about to finish this homework anytime soon. Which, in a weird, slightly weird way, was a bit of a relief. She knew it would cause problems, but if she got through this as well as she could, she wouldn’t have to take it anymore. Thank god!

     She almost smiled at her mother’s probably same look she was giving the book a moment ago.

     ‘ Yeah, see? ‘ She huffed and ran her finger along the page. ‘ I’ll probably have to ask the teacher about it tomorrow-- ‘

Cryptid studies // closed for @coolleatherjacket​

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – Finally, the thing she’d spent so many long years waiting for. Not the ideal path for her to take, but hey, some people made their money on documenting and filming this kind of stuff right? She just needed to learn first. Learn what? The ways of cryptid and paranormal investigations. Naturally, against her father’s better wishes. But she wasn’t going to just sit down and do the kinds of things most of the parents around the cul-de-sac did. She had bigger ideas.

     And who better to teach her, than her good old uncle Robert. Yes, she still did call him that-- But to her, it was more because of that growing connection between them as he told her more and more about the strange, the unexplained. It’s what she had come to love as she grew a little older.

     She’d even tried thinking about the different ways and possibilities that the creature from IT would exist.

     She knew the best time to do this was at night, so she’d packed her things, took a couple of snacks, and made her way out of the house by around 6:45ish. She honestly couldn’t wait to get started. Christie made her way quickly to Robert’s house before anyone at hers had the chance to protest. Soon as she made it, she knocked on the door and called in.

     ‘ Hey, Uncle Robert! You home? ‘

Mom -- exitiumparit:

Mary laughed, following behind Christie as she hopped up near the window. Sweet kid. Loved everything creepy. She was a proud mom.

“I think she looks beautiful, love,” Mary grinned, kneeling behind Christie. “Almost matches your dress.”

    ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – She kept her eyes on the doll a moment longer, fascinated by the doll, almost as if she was visualizing what it would be like to hold it in her hands, play with it too. She looked back at Mary with wider smile.

     ‘ You really think she does? ‘ She asked. ‘ You think she’d look nice next to my teddy bears? ‘

Dad -- youthministered:

“Are you saying your dad couldn’t compete on Chopped?” He was teasing, of course. Even he knew he was not that caliber of a person, but a man could dream.

Dishcloth slung over one shoulder, he looked back at the sticky mess he’d made with a sigh.

“You should be back in bed, Christie. Daddy made the mess, so daddy should be cleaning it up.”

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – ‘ I never said you can’t ‘ She finally gave a smile to her father. ‘ I’m just saying the competition would have you beat out. ‘

     She looked at the mess again, seemed to be a lot to clean up just by oneself. And besides, she was way too awake for her to go back to sleep now, she may as well do something productive, right?

     ‘ Can’t now-- I’m not like Chris and Christian. I can’t go back to sleep now. ‘

Okay I got a few minutes before classes start. So I’m gonna start and draft some of Christie’s responses. Hit me up in the IMs if you want anything, more than likely I’ll reply in a few hours when class is over. I’ll also be flipping between Christie and Cardin and Craig in certain fashions throughout the day-- It’s gonna be a werid one because of how my class day is today.

Ignatius -- nextgenkittens:

“A little place in Oregon called Gravity Falls. According to my father–” And he says the word with barely concealed disgust. “It’s filled with all sorts of cryptids and other weird stuff. The perfect place for any hunter.”

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – She knew well not to ask anything about his father. Not that she really wanted to call attention to it. ‘ Sounds like the perfect place for me to start studying that! You’ll have to show me... Oh, and maybe Uncle Robert could tag along. He’ll probably love it too. ‘

@youthministered replied to your post:      ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – ‘ So when should be a good...

Honey. No.

     ⚜ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴇ;; – ‘ Yes, dad. I’m going to. I will learn the ways of the cryptid hunter-- And I will do Maple Bay proud. ‘
