*walks in wearing pajamas. yawns and looks around* I should be more awake for this
MORI: For what?
ME: My explanation post. well, whatever, here goes nothing.
I was planning on just taking some time off for a day or two, but Synthesis has been giving me hell and a half. Well, Synthesis only gave me the half. The people I had to put up with during Synthesis gave me the rest. It all ends tomorrow, thank God, but then I'm going to Romania for a week and a half. I think we're getting back around July 2, so don't wait up for me. Party on, and don't worry, I'll still be around. Just not posting regularly for a while.
ME: *puts on a small, black bathrobe over pajamas and goes over to Carrion's Corner*
CARRION: Well, well, look who it is
ME: Charming *decides not to sit on table. leans against piano instead*
CARRION: Have you come to bother me?
ME: Wow. You're a tough one to break. Almost two weeks of separation, and you still haven't softened
CARRION: This isn't surprising, is it?
ME: Not at all. It's not even disappointing. I'm the same way
CARRION: .....you're tough to break, or you aren't disappointing?
ME: *small smile* You tell me
CARRION: *rolls eyes* You worded it awkwardly
ME: I did not. You inferred it awkwardly. But I'm not here to make accusations
CARRION: Oh? And what are you here for?
ME: *pulls sleeve of robe back*
ASTRUM: *slithers out partway*
ME: I forgot to return him
CARRION: *hesitates, then holds out hand*
ASTRUM: *slithers into his palm*
CARRION: *returns him to his collar*
ME: *runs a finger over piano keys* You know.......I don't exactly feel sad. I mean, that's making me feel a little guilty, because it's been a while since I've seen everyone, but...I just feel really, really tired. I haven't gone to bed before midnight at all this week
CARRION: *grins* Wanted to stay up to see the best hour?
ME: *laughs a little* Yeah, that's definitely it. Not because I had tons of work to do, of course
CARRION: Of course
ME: .......how's everything been going down here?
CARRION: I was.....bothered a few times
ME: *laughs* I saw.
CARRION: It's annoying enough that they keep mentioning you, but when they go ahead and bring me into it as well--
ME: Trust me, I've been brought into situations I never wanted to be involved with in the first place. Mainly with my friends
CARRION: How fascinating
ME: *smiles* Well, I'm used to it all by now *sits on table and adjusts robe so it's more.....concealing, cause I'm paranoid like that*
CARRION: .....when do you leave again?
ME: I should leave soon. It's already past twelve, and I still have notecards to make for my presentation
CARRION: Ah
ME: *very small smile* Actually, you're in luck. my mom just came down and told me to go to bed
CARRION: .....oh
ME: *gets off table and yawns* I should go, huh?
CARRION: You probably should
ME: .......well, do you want me to go?
CARRION: *looks surprised* What?
ME: *shrugs* Just wondering. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I've been asked awkward questions like that before
CARRION: I see
ME: Yeah *looks at clock and sighs inwardly* .......I probably won't be back anytime soon
CARRION: What a pity
ME: I'll miss the sarcasm most of all
CARRION: You won't miss it too much. There's sarcasm everywhere
ME: Especially if I'm there
CARRION: *laughs in agreement*
ME: .....I actually doubt I'll be back before I go Romania
CARRION: All right
ME: I'll still be around. Y'know, lurking and keeping up with the party
CARRION: *nods*
ME: .........*reaches up and puts arms around his shoulders. rests head lightly on his chest*
CARRION: *is too shocked to move*
ME: *stays for a few seconds, then lets go. small, small smile* See you around *turns to the rest of the pub and starts walking out* Bye, everyone
EVERYONE: Bye!
ME: I'll let you speak in unison that time. Consider it a temporary-parting gift
*leaves*
*glomps* Yes, I saw page 20. VERY dramatic. Well-done. Poor Stephen. X( But hey, that means he's gonna become BJ.
