My parents are crying, and the TV in the living room is running a news story about my best friend Marsha.

“I don’t understand how something like this could happen,” says Mom, “Not here.”

“I’m so sorry. It’s such a terrible tragedy,” says Dad. “If you need to talk about it, we’re always here. We don’t want you to miss the first day of school, though. Try to be strong.”

“I know Marsha will be missed,” says Mom. “She was your only friend.”

I wish she would stop saying that. She wasn’t my only friend. Neither of them says anything for half a minute, and the silence quickly grows stale.

“We think you spend too much time on your computer, Joanna. Maybe this is a sign that you need to go out and make some new friends,” says Dad.

My friends are all over the world. Too far away to know about what happened in this town. My parents can never understand that, because they’re old. They didn’t have friends across the ocean like I do. Marsha was my best friend, but not my only one. Try explaining that to them, though; it’s a waste of time.

I close and re-open the program. It goes back to the same “Hi JOANNA” page. Whatever.

Thinking back to what she said about the project… not much, really. Just that it was the coolest thing she’s ever made. She liked to mess with me this way, though. One time she spent a whole day making me think that I had a surprise birthday party coming up, and then when I got home there was no party. Then when I went to the bathroom, everyone was waiting in the bathroom with party poppers and confetti

I wouldn’t put it past her to go this elaborate with a prank set up. I can’t even get her back for it either because… well… yeah.

I look around the room first. It looks the same as ever. The TV is off downstairs, so it sounds like my parents have gone to bed.

I run a full diagnostic on my computer. No changes, no malware, no viruses. Reconnecting to the internet does nothing but log me back into Blipp. Might as well read the messages now.

No reply from Marsha. As for Danny… I can’t just ask how’s it going. He would think I’m a lame nerd or something. I still haven’t showed him a picture of me so he probably thinks I’m a guy or something.

No. 676107 ID: fe13c8

wow these people are pretty insensitive

I guess it depends on how much you want to open up right now but you might want to start off by telling Danny that you aren't feeling that great. Something awful happened.

Since you are closest to Mark tell him about the program Marsha sent you, and try to talk about how you feel. It feels strange to look at something she made and know that she's gone now. Also it doesn't really do anything, which is kinda weird.

To Eliza- "I know. I don't want to think about my best friend having that done to her."

Are the police still investigating the murder scene? Shouldn't someone take her down from there? Speaking of which you might want to tell the police about the message she sent you before you died. If you know the guy she was talking about he is now a suspect. The message was sent on 9/6... was that yesterday? Today?

Mark, I really don't need the details of my friend's death repeated to me. I know enough that my day is like a nightmare. I am STARING at my dead friend's last message to me and admiring at her wonderful hipster bullshit program with tears streaming down my face.
I even messaged her hoping for a reply back.
It says she's online and I'm desperate. I know it's probably her Mom or Dad or the police screening her shit, but fffffffffffffuck I got to send something.

I don't know HOW you're going to start a conversation with Danny without asking how's it going. Come ON girl, it's the only thing you can say right now. You say fine back even though you're NOT fine so you can talk to someone that isn't going to talk about Marsha.

You should probably tell Mark and Eliza you're not ready to be exposed to those gory details. Not until you can fully process the information anyway.

As for Danny, a simple 'hey' will suffice. No need to over analyze such a common interaction.

I need a moment to think of what I will say to Danny. I have to plan each word. I know I sound kind of weird if I don’t stop and think. I don’t want him to think that I’m that weird girl, because I’m completely not weird

Ugh, don’t remind me. I wanted to build a gaming rig to serve as my ultimate headquarters like Marsha did. Her dad is really rich, but my parents said it was a waste of money, even if I paid for it. I ended up with this thing, which is not only a laptop, but a really cheap one. Whatever, though. My parents bought it for me to use for school, and I need to be grateful.

I plug it into the wall and gave it a few minutes. Still nothing. I turn it over to remove the battery. It is a standard clump of lithium ion cylinders encased in plastic, cheaply assembled somewhere on the other side of the world. No visible damage, but it’s hard to tell with these. I guess I’m out of luck.

“Marsha?” I say aloud. “Are you haunting me right now? If you are, just tell me, I’m not even scared. We can hang out or something.”

The room remains quiet.

It's 2009, if her parents won't buy her a gaming rig, they wouldn't get her a fancy, smancy smartphone. If it was 2013, they might just accept the times and get her a smartphone, but smartphones just started going mainstream at this time. They were around, and plentiful, but this is the time where they really started taking off, but JUST started to take off. Odds are that she's got a cheap ass flip phone mainly used for emergencies, with no text plan, if at all.

Your dad probably has a smell old desktop from the 90's in the study or dining room or somewhere right? Probably something your Mom uses to clip and print online coupons and get a lot of viruses from doing it?

You could use that.

If you're being haunted, these spirit has to do it in vaguely suspicious ways to make you think you're going insane. To take out your Dad's desktop he used to play the shareware version of Duke Nukem 3D on, it'd have to go be a LOT less vague to you.
