Okay, last post for about a week, folks (if you're lucky
)
I'm supposed to be in bed in twenty minutes, but I'll try and get around to as many good-byes as I can (by the time I post this it should be after 8, which is tonight's curfew)
ME: *walks up to the stage* Hey everyone
BBs: Whoa
ME:
BB#2: Been a long time since we've seen you, kid
ME: I know. Shocking, huh? well, here I am, saying good-bye
BB#4: Also shocking
ME: Aw, shut it. You guys know you're gonna miss me
BB#1: Well, I
guess.....
BB#3: You could just say good-bye to me, considering the rest of these boneheads don't seem to care
BB#2: Of course he would say that.....
ME: *hugs BBs* You guys know I'm gonna miss you, too. Keep jazzin it up down here while I'm gone. BB#4, play the piano like I would, okay?
BB#4: But.....that'd be depressing
ME: Well, play it like I would if I'm feelin jazzy
BB#4: Can do
ME: *gives an extra hug to BB#3* I haven't hung out with you nearly enough lately
BB#3: Don't sweat it, sugar
ME: I will when I get back, though
BB#3: You'll sweat it when you get back?
ME: *rolls eyes and tries not to smile* No. I'll spend time with you when I get back *hugs again* Promise
BB#3: I'm holdin you to that, doll
ME: Good. That way there's no possible way I can avoid it
BB#3: But why would you want to?
ME: .....good point. I'll see you later
BB#3: Ciao
ME: For now
*walks off*
*looks around and quickly finds BJ talking to another skeleton at the bar. sneaks up behind him and puts a hand over one eye socket* Guess who?
BJ: .......other side, doll
ME: .....*puts other hand over other eye socket* NOW guess who
BJ: Only one voice like that down here *rolls eye over and turns around* Sup, doll?
ME: Well, this is my last time down here for about a week or so. A little over a week, actually
BJ: ...you serious?
ME: Whoa, I just all of a sudden felt like Liz for a split second. Yes, of course I'm serious. I wouldn't joke about something like that
BJ: Yes you would
ME: .......well, I'm not. And I'm gonna miss you, too. So there!
BJ: Well, I'm gonan miss you more
ME: Yeah, probably
BJ: *rolls eye and smiles*
ME: But I'll still miss you
BJ: Glad to hear it, sugar
ME: *hugs* Keep bein cool, okay?
BJ: Don't need anyone to tell me that
ME: I know. I'll see you when I get back!
BJ: See ya, dollface
ME: *walks away for more good-byes*
EMBER: *is playing Central Park from the King Kong soundtrack on the piano*
ME: *stands next to the piano and listens*
EMBER: *still playing* May I help you?
ME: Just wanted to let you know I'm leaving
EMBER: Oh, right. Belize?
ME: *nods*
EMBER: Cool
ME: That's what Christine and Greg and Kaitlyn and Ryan and Dan said, too
EMBER: Fascinating
ME: Yeah.......
EMBER: You're acting awfully lovesick
ME: ?! What?
EMBER: I'm just making an observation. I'm not saying you actually are, I'm just saying you're acting like it
ME: Oh. Sorry if that bohers you
EMBER: I think it's amusing *picks up the pace a little*
ME: So.....you might finally get a real break from us while we're gone. And I'm gonna get a lot of writing done on the plane.
EMBER: I'm sure you will
ME: I'm bringing three books and four notebooks in my carry-on luggage *starts laughing a little*
EMBER: Oh Lord
ME: Sorry, it's just funny. My sister is reading Abarat in her class, and all night my parents kept talking about carry-on
EMBER: I can just see you ina fit of laughter at that
ME: I laughed every time they said it
EMBER: So go bug him instead of me
ME: I'm not trying to bug you. I'm just saying good-bye
EMBER: It's taking you a long time to do it
ME: Cause you're cool, and you're one of my favorite chaarcters, and you deserve a lot of dialogue. But I'll end it now. See ya when I get back
EMBER: See ya, kid. And get a tan for once
ME: Yeah right. I'm paler than Never, and I always will be. Except she has better teeth than I do
EMBER: *looks disgusted at the thought* They're fangs, and they drip with venom. Constantly.
ME: Yeah, there's that. I think the acid keeps her smile pearly whte, though
EMBER: .......ew.
ME: Yeah, you're right. Well, see ya! *walks off*
EMBER: *starts playing a nice piano version of Edelweiss that I'm in love with*
ME: *walks up to Carrion's Corner and waves a little* Hey
CARRION: Hello
ME: No insults or snappy remarks. This is weird
CARRION: Well, I'm in a better mood than usual
ME: Why, dare I ask?
CARRION: I'm getting a week of significantly more peace and quiet
ME: I wish I had that. I wanted to stay home more than anything this vacation. Well, not more than
anything--
EMBER: coughlovesickcough
ME: Go tune a piano
EMBER: Go tune a (tuna) fish
BBs: Oohhhhh
ME: I'm not even gonna bother with that. It was my dad's favorite joke when I was younger
EMBER: *laughs*
CARRION: *rolls eyes*
ME: Hey, it's clever at least
CARRION: It's despisable
ME: Everything is to you. Well, not everything, but you know
EMBER: coughlovesicktoocough
CARRION: *glares*
ME: *laughs*
CARRION: *looks surprised*
ME: Sorry. I just think Ember's funny. He's like me, actually
CARRION: Nothing like contradicting yourself
ME: .......*laughs again* Took me a minue to catch onto that. well, you think my character's funny in the fanfic, anyway
CARRION: I'm sure I do
ME: I'm going to write that a lot on the plane, I hope. I'll try and get as much done as I can without needing the book. Y'know, extra bits of the plot that don't require the dialogue from the story
CARRION: I see
ME: Yeah. It'll be fun. I've already writter a lot, just today. Five pages or so. Fridays are boring at my school. I watched three movies in a row (Ghost in the shell, Rear Window, and Clue), and I was writing the whole time. The plot's actually getting more intense than I thought it would get. I might have to put a slightly higher rating on this piece of writing when I put it online
CARRION: Really? Why?
ME: Uh.......I'm attacked by your grandmother
CARRION: *raises eyebrows* Attacked?
ME: Well, kinda. I get really mad at her and shout, which makes her even angrier, and she takes out her needle and.....*trace an invisible line under my left eye and along the jawline on the left side of my face* She got me a few times
CARRION: Oh
ME: Yeah. Then her sisterhood got me a lot more. Back, arms, shoulders. Your grandmother hates me in the fic
CARRION: She hates everybody, whether it's in your story or not
ME: true. But she hates me even more. Probably more than Candy
CARRION: .......yes, I could see why
ME: Uh huh. But it's okay, because I hate her. Actually, the three people in the fic so far that I've mentioned my character hating are Mater Motley, Otto Houlihan (cause of when we first met. not a pleasant experience), and Candy. My character actually really hates Candy, which is weird, but whatever
CARRION: Well, it will be interesting to read, to say the least
ME: *looks pleased*
CARRION: .....did that come out as a compliment?
ME: *nods*
CARRION: *sighs* Well, you'd better leave before it happens again
ME: And it's already 8:15. When I started this message, it was twenty of eight
CARRION: Time flies when you're saying good-byes
ME: That was a very good motto, and it even rhymes!
CARRION: *looks annoyed
ME:
CARRION: Why do you all like making that face?
ME: Cause it bothers you. Now, I gotta go. Can I just.......I mean, could you.....?
CARRION: *raises eyebrow*
ME: .....*points at collar*
CARRION: *pulls Astrum out*
ME: *takes him* Hey there, little guy
ASTRUM: *coils around my wrist*
ME: I'm gonna miss you, dude. But it'll only be for a week or so. And you make a special appearance in the fanfic. Not by name, of course, because that would really be pushing it, but you get a really good, ground-breaking, totally character-developing and slightly character-bonding (in a sense) part
ASTRUM: *lifts head*
ME: Oh yeah, of course. You're the star of the show, man. I'll write that part on the plane, I promise. But until then, I'll see you later *kisses the top of his head and hands him back to Carrion*
CARRION: *looks a little disgusted*
ME: Oh, c'mon, even I'm not that against displays of affection. Though a lot of the time I act like it.......a lot of the time I actually don't like it, actually.......but still
CARRION: *puts Astrum back in his collar*
ME: Make sure he's well-fed
CARRION: *grins*
ME: .......but, y'know, go easy. A little
CARRION: I can't guarantee anything
ME: Alright. Just keep in mind that not everyone finds it an honor to feed our nightmares. Now I have to go. My mom's telling me to go to bed, and I still have some packing to do. Oh, and that paper I was supposed to do? Yeah, never did it. Never even started. But hey, I'll tell her my printer was whack, I tried emailing it, and something went wrong. I'll have a printed copy on Monday, get ten points off at the most and get an A otherwise, and it'll all be good. If I got an A from Josh, I'll get one from Kaitlyn
CARRION: Fascinating
ME: It really isn't. I'll see you next week
CARRION: Unfortunately
ME: And I'll post more of the story somewhere in case you want to read it
CARRION: I may as well. It's interesting to see your interpretation of characters and motives and things
ME: Really?
CARRION: *shrugs and nods*
ME: Wow, I didn't expect that. Cool *looks at clock* Dammit. Alright, I'll let you go now. Bye
CARRION: For the final time, good-bye
ME: I don't care what you say, but I'm going to miss you. Have fun while I'm gone, and don't kill anyone, please. Okay? Okay. Cool. See ya! *runs off*
Bye everyone! *hugs* I'll see you all in a week or more or less. Yeah, that sounds about right. Ciao for now!
