Oh, Woe Is Me

It's not easy writing a book.

I mean, it's easier than mining coal. It's easier than most factory work. It's probably easier than a lot of office jobs as well.

But STARTING to write a book... those first few inches you have to push that boulder till it hits the edge and starts to roll downhill... THAT'S the hard part.

Not as hard as teaching, granted. Or working on a farm. Or being a doctor or a nurse or a cop or a fireman. I doubt it's as hard as construction, either, or carpentry, or plumbing, or engineering.

But STILL...

(I hope we are because they are still /specist/ in star trek aka racist to different types of aliens... :P :D and thanks :) :) :) :))

Star Inkbright said...

In the Stormlight Archive they're very sexist and even more racist. :P

. . .
Yesterday I was mentioning Brandon Sanderson in literally every sentence, just warning you. :P

Star Inkbright said...

*Or rather, one normal sentence, then one reference sentence immediately following, and it only wnet on for several minutes before I decided to suppress it a bit. XD

Chione Asahina said...

Omg i got to dress up as a giant minion for my first day at work going round high-fiving and hugging kids. Amazing.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: XD It didn't occur to me. The caramel holds rest of it together, so in that moment it seemed like a disaster. :P


@KEIRON: O_O
I WAS JUST EXPLAINING WHAT I MEANT BY BETTER THAN STAR TREK BUT YOU GOT IT
YOU GOT IT EXACTLY
:) :) :)

Mary Contrary said...

Although @K: The racism rarely went by without somebody picking up on it?
And by TNG they have Klingon officers in the Federation?
So at least their humanity was still improving, like, they knew they weren't done yet and they made that clear
And as a show, they consistently fought against discrimination and bigotry, pretty ahead of their time
Idk
I like Star Trek. :P

(glad you enjoyed work ...

Yeh :P !! hehe :):):) :P )

Hi, Gemma! Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoyed it! C:

I'm realize I have no dedication but I am making one regardless.

I dedicate to not giving up.
For this I'm going to use my room as an example.
My room looks messy if one thing is out of place.
So, if after a long school day, I dump my bags and my coat on the floor at the bottom of my bed it looks quite messy. Then say I have homework, I drag whatever I need out of my bag and dump it on my bed, start working on it, give up and go to sleep, twisting and messing up my covers. When I wake up I feed the cats then come back up and the mess hits me. And I just can't be bothered tidying it, because it looks like theirs loads to do. But in reality when I tackle it there's just a couple of things which are quickly sorted.
I know life isn't always like that, life is more like a ball of string, all tangled up and impossible to unravel.. but you can unravel it, if you try..

That's what some people believe anyway.

I also dedicate to those who feel ignored, missed out, skipped over.

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: :)! I'm glad it went well!!!!!

*hugs* Hear hear.

Anonymous said...

(Yeh that makes sense Taia that they tackle it :) but I like to think if we can finish one thing then we are on our way to greatness :P :) :) *hugs* hehe we're awesome :P

hear hear)

Noelle said...

I'm starting to upload the many photos I have...

I made a facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Noelles-Eurotrip/494586680696506

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Ooh cool. :) :)

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Dust*
*...has dust allergies, so actually, that's a horrible idea. But doesn't know who you are, so, hugging dust anyway*
Really nice analogy. And inspiring dedication. Hear hear. :)

@Keiron: Yeah, absolutely. :) :) :)
*hugs back* :D

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :) These are great.

Mary Contrary said...

Wow, they're gorgeous, Noelle. :)
Looks like very talented photography. O_O

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Ikr. :)

Mary Contrary said...

@Noelle: I was mentally yelling about the flowers and then the one of the cat feet, but then it struck me that the cat photographs are all really pretty. I'm not much of a cat-person, but there's one with a hand in a yellow sleeve and the cat with its little cat face and aw man that's a really nice picture :) :) :)

Also the one with the pigeon on the statue hand and the angle is just perfect and :o

And, there's one that looks like... a wall made of scrolls and ribbon/tissue..? Do you know what that is? ^^

They're really good O_O

Noelle said...

The wall of tissue was from Turkey, at the house where the Virgin Mary apparently spent the rest of her years until her death. There is no scientific proof, per se, but it has become a pilgrimage spot for the devout. The wall is a wishing wall, where people write out something that they would like, and tie the wish to the wall- it is a form of prayer, and in doing so, one is basically praying to the Virgin Mary for assistance in a certain matter. For example, one wish that I saw was "to have a healthy baby".

Mary Contrary said...

Oh my gosh, wow. That's fascinating, thank you. :)

Anonymous said...

(did you make a wish..../ prey? :P :D lovely pics btw)

Noelle said...

I did. I wished for assistance for getting into university, so I can gain knowledge.

Mary Contrary said...

:) I hope you will. ^^

Anonymous said...

(thats nice :D I hope you get in :) you said you got a 33 which was good so I don't see why you won't :) )

Noelle said...

Well, I'm thinking that maybe the 33 was... like, an answer to my wish. I found out about my score just a few days later.

Anonymous said...

(AH! sweet :D :P :) *crosses fingers for you* good luck :) )

Mary Contrary said...

Huh. :) :) :)

*seconds Keiron's comment* :)

Thanks Sil! Not here... Maybe Ward will be back this afternoon... Hehe I like him.

@Noelle: :) :) That's so cool.

:) I have faith your wish will be fulfilled. :) You're definitely intelligent enoguht o get into university.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

That's really cool, Adra! My friend went to Israel and traced the route they took Jesus to his death and renewed her baptism in the Jordan. I find that fascinating.-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: O_O That's cool. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I know! That trip sounded so cool... I couldn't go there in fear now but..

Msd -Zaf

Noelle said...

Okay, I finished most of the pictures on my computer. I'll keep adding throughout the day

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :) Cool. I'll keep checking back. :)

Mary Contrary said...

Oh, wow, Zaf. :0

Cool, Noelle. I'll remember to check back later. :)


(Probably will be back and forth with distance and here and not here, sorry)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Your pictures look really cool, Noelle.

Star Inkbright said...

Awwhhhhhhhhhhhhh CAS.

Cas is just ADORABLE awwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

(Not watched Supernatural. Just roleplay with Dean Cas and S-
wait no, just Dean and Cas now. XD)

(And anyway. Cas. AWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.)

Star Inkbright said...

Actually, that's a lie - I watched two episodes of Supernatural last week. But y'know.

Feraaaa32 said...

oh mr darcie :D

Noelle said...

It's spelled Darcy.

...
I'd recommend the book to you. It is way better than the movies.

Star Inkbright said...

Haven't watched the movie. Have read the book.

Feraaaa32 said...

it's still darcie :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: O_o

What?

Star Inkbright said...

How can it be darcie if it's not darcie?

(Feel so sorry for Kaladin. He doesn't know what televisions or vampires are or anything. He can't even read. He keeps being clueless when everyonoe else knows what something is. :P)

Feraaaa32 said...

it just is *forms illuminati triangle with hands* *music starts playing* doesn't this seem a little bit suspicious? thought so :D

Noelle said...

No. It's Darcy.
-_-

PandP is always Darcy. If otherwise, then I'll lose it

Star Inkbright said...

. . .

Mmh, I'm sticking with 'Darcy'. :P

Feraaaa32 said...

but wait there's more *puts triangle on "y" in darcy" see? PERFECT FIT :D

Star Inkbright said...

. . . That makes it Darc▲. :P

Andviolet Queen said...

Wow, Noelle, I looked at some of your pictures, those are spectacular o.O
Haven't gotten a chance to go through them all, but I definitely will later, cuz those are awesome! You are an amazing photographer!
And hi, everyone :)

Star Inkbright said...

Hi, Andviolet! :)

Andviolet Queen said...

Hey Star! :)

Star Inkbright said...

:)
How're you?

Andviolet Queen said...

I'm good, I suppose. Have to clean my complete mess of a room later(and not the kind of mess Dust was talking about earlier, like a legitimate MESS). So much fun, right?
How be you?

Feraaaa32 said...

YES exactly! darcie! :D :P
hey violet ^_^

Andviolet Queen said...

Hi Fera :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: XD
I actually don't mind tidying my room. It's alright.
. . .
Not that I would tidy it if I didn't have to. XD

I'm fine, thanks. :) Trying to amke my Ludo board the most perfect piece of artworl ever created, which is, er, clearly not working out. XD ROleplaying over yonder, which is quite fun. They just tried to stop Cas feeling worthless (failed) and nwo they have to save this city from vampires. Yay?



Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: Riiiiiight . . .

Andviolet Queen said...

Star: Not exactly familiar with what a Ludo board is...
And yay?
And I am usually alright with tidying, but I don't know. Not in the mood, I guess...?
Fera: How be you?

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: Ludo is a gane.
You haev heard of Ludo.
You just may not have called it by that name.
Have you heard of Frustration?

:/ Aw.
Can you listen to music whilst doing it?

Feraaaa32 said...

star: accept the truth or keep lying to yourself, that's what 420 blayz it wants from you! :P :D
violet: i be really good, how be you vi? :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: O_o

Alright?

(Kaladin keeps talking. It's weirding me out. :P)

Andviolet Queen said...

Star: No...
Yeah, I could. It's not that awful, I'm just being whiney, I suppose
Fera: Good. I'm doing alright.

Mary Contrary said...

(*collapses in a corner*
Apparently they'll still be here tomorrow night
I have no idea when they are leaving which is making me anxious and
Like I'll be back from school and it'll be [obnoxious comment where I can't tell if he's joking or???]
If I keep making excuses to get away I'm going to run out of homework
And yet I still haven't got anywhere for Tuesday's presentation
This week is not looking up
*would not be averse to hugs rn*)

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: Hop 'n' Pop? Trouble? Headache? Pop-O-Matic?

Dw, I'm ALWAYS whiney. :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs*

Andviolet Queen said...

Taia: Aww :( There there *pulls into hug, pats head* Nutella? *pulls out jar and two spoons, offers one spoon, eats a spoonful*

Feraaaa32 said...

star: MUHHHAHAHAA, I AM SHREK....WELCOME TO MY SWAMP :D
violet: hehe, good good, what've you been doin?: )

Feraaaa32 said...

NUTELLLLLAAAAAA< I LOVE NUTTEELLLLAAAA!!! :D

Andviolet Queen said...

Star: I have heard of Trouble, and based on the other names talking about popping, it sounds like the same thing

Feraaaa32 said...

ILL GO TO THE MARKET AND GET SOME RIGHT NOW AS A MATTER OF FACT :D

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: . . . Okay . .. ?

I like Nutella on toast. :)

(Kaladin also just threatenedo to chuck Dan out of a window again. O_o)

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: :) Knew it.
Only very weird people such as Lizzie and Dragona haven't heard of some varient of Ludo. XD

Feraaaa32 said...

I LIKE NUTTTTTTEELLLA ON ANYTHING....EVEN BY ITSELF< IT@S HEAVEN MHMHHHHH YEAAAHHH :D
star: yeah prepare yourselves for destruction, spoderman won't save ya :D

Andviolet Queen said...

*looks suspiciously at Fera, pulls out third spoon and offers it*
Not much. Sleeping in. WOOHOO! I loovvvee sleeping in :) also, I saw a movie yesterday.
Yeah, excitement...
Been doing some things with friends, cuz two of my best friends are moving in like two days (;.;)

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: I didn't expect to.
I might expect Kaladin too (because Kaladin kind of makes it his mission to save everyone and is pretty darn good at it) . . . but sadly, he's fictional. :/

Andviolet Queen said...

*pulls out toast and knife and hands to Star, magically increases the size of the jar to accommodate four*

Mary Contrary said...

@Andviolet: I don't object to being 'whiny' if it helps you out. Equally, optimism can make you feel better about doing things, so, idk. :)
Make up a story or a song or a poem or plan a piece of art while you work? Listen to your favourite songs & sing awfully (or well, can you sing? :P) along with your favourite lyrics. Rap. Idk.
Give yourself regular breaks to do something nice. Nutella for every type of thing you finish putting away. ;)
I had to tidy up aaaaallllll my exam mess from over the past 3 months (at least), this week, so I can tell you with confidence that it's possible. :P :) :)

Feraaaa32 said...

nobosy can save u from the trackieeessss and fifaaaa 15 :D
violet: *gouges out the entire can of nutella and puts it in his mouth* Hhehehehhehehehheheheheh :P

Andviolet Queen said...

Taia: :) :) :)
Much Nutella :)
And yeah, I can sing, so, I guess not awfully... I think and have been told...

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: Ooh. O_O Big jar.

Thanks!

*nods at Taiarawr :)*

Andviolet Queen said...

*jar magically refills* *smiles* Nice try, Fera! This is the magical Nutella jar!

Feraaaa32 said...

violet* gauges out jar again* try? :D :P

Andviolet Queen said...

*IRL goes to cupboard and pulls out Nutella and a spoon*

Feraaaa32 said...

*fight...irl...fight me :D *

Andviolet Queen said...

*jar stops being able to gauge it, even if you take the whole thing it's all still there but you get to eat it* YAY! ENDLESS NUTELLA!

Feraaaa32 said...

YYYAYAAYYAYAYAYAYAYYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Andviolet Queen said...

Well, I'm gunna shower now...
BYE BYE
*hugs Star and Taia and Fera*

Feraaaa32 said...

*hugs back* ^_^

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Star and AV* *joins in eating Nutella because that's good*
(@Andviolet: 'm I OK to call you AV, or do you prefer a different shortening?)

Y'all make it very easy to feel better. :)
But I've also started trembling so, uh, not sure what that means :P


As for Ludo, I like the normal one better than the frustration/popping-thing-type, because dice and hands and rolling?
We have /farm Ludo/, with tiny wooden animals and their preferred carboard foods. :)

Mary Contrary said...

@Abmndvioleg: I'm sure you can sing, in that case. I can't, so I sing badly. :P

Aw, bye, Vi!

Mary Contrary said...

... *facepalms* Is it worth trying to correct that? :p

@Star, Fera: How are you both doing?

Feraaaa32 said...

i am doing fine taia thanks, how're you? :)

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Andviolet! :(

@Taia: :/ :/ *hugs*

@Taia: I prefer the normal one, too. :)
We got a six-player one from my grandma, which was really cool because there's five of us, but the board was a bit crap and boring (also, it had these letters for each stage of the home base and they weren't even in capital letters), so my family were like "Holly, I bet you could make a better board than this," and I was like, "I could as well. I could make it look really nice and everything."
And so my dad cut me some wood and all of a sudden I found myself designing a five-player Ludo board. :P
(I designed for a few days and my final design looks really nice. It's gonna be great. :) If my perfectionism doesn't destroy it haha.)

Mary Contrary said...

Good to know, Fera. :) I've been better, kind of stressed/uncomfortable, but certainly could be worse. :) thanks for asking. :)

@Star: Oh, COOL. Six player Ludo sounds handy, but I guess five would be just perfect. :o
I'd bet your design looks really cool. :P Maybe you could post a picture, when it's done? ;)

Feraaaa32 said...

aww, what's up? :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Sure. :)
My design's a lot better than most Ludo boards, but they're not really trying, so . . . XD

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Hello. Darcy with a 'y' as in 'yesterday')

*Carey sits in her office, grumpily drinking coffee*

*Her desk phone rings, and she answers it*

*It's the Dean of Admissions*

*Best not to sound grumpy, then*

Hello?

Dean: Hello, Assistant Professor Ellington, I have a few prospective students who stopped by for a personal tour today, and I was wondering if you had some time to speak with them.

I'm rather busy adjusting my lectures to fit within the summer schedule. Is there anyone else who could give them a tour?

Dean: Oh, I've got a member of the student government to give them a tour. However, they're potential English majors and wanted to talk to someone from the department. Professor Thorpe is...otherwise occupied.

(By "otherwise occupied," the Dean meant that Professor Thorpe is a rather grumpy old man, and he had not had his morning coffee. I am a rather grumpy young woman, and I had consumed at least a little of my morning coffee. Under the circumstances, I was rather less intimidating.)

Oh, very well. Can you wait about ten minutes?

Dean: Certainly. I'll tell Emmett.

(Emmett would be the member of the student government. He took my British Literature class less semester. He's a reasonably good student, aside from the time he fell asleep in class.)

Star Inkbright said...

((I like the sound of Carey. She sounds interesting.))

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Thank you, Star. I would indeed like to consider myself an interesting individual.)

Star Inkbright said...

((@Carey: Mmh.))

Mary Contrary said...

Omg
I accidentally just took a 'which animal crossing character are you?' quiz
Apparently I'm Blathers and that's very good, very good. *nods*

@Star: Yay!

@Fera: Got relatives whom I don't know visiting indefinitely, and then one of them is... more difficult to deal with than most.
And also some other things this week. Presentation I haven't planned, missing probably my last 2 lessons ever with my physics teacher of 4 years which is sad because I like his lessons and yeah:(. I'm missing the >30 degrees & thunderstorm later this week because I'm away, and then I finish school(!), and then there'll be four times as many relatives and D:
I mean, there are good things and I'll live, but I probably won't enjoy it. :P

Andviolet Queen said...

Taia: Yeah, AV is fine
Star: Fours?

Mary Contrary said...

Sorry, that was kind of an extensive vent @_@
But you did ask, so... :P

Hello, Carey. :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Andviolet: I say it instead of 'bye.'

@Taia: :) :) Dw. Venting is good.

Andviolet Queen said...

Star: Ah, okay. Noted. :)

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Hello Taia, Andviolet, anyone else who might be lurking)

Andviolet Queen said...

Hey Carey :) *hugs*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Sorry Carey, just a second.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

That was a rather ominous hello.

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: :P Yes.
Hi!

Rosalind Turner said...

*Ten minutes later, the students enter--two guys and a girl*

Mary Contrary said...

Hi again, Andviolet. :)
Ok, cool. I'll probably end up jumping between different nicknames before I eventually settle down, anyway. :P

How are you doing, Carey?

*laughs*
Hi Alastair! Hi Fabi! :)
How are you both?

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Hello, Moss. Hello, Alastair. Was that one less ominous? I don't actually care. *Grabs another cup of coffee*)

Andviolet Queen said...

Taia: I am perfectly okay with that. I don't really care what people call me as long as I know they're referring to me :)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hello, everyone. I am fine.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Hey Rozzy. I'm doing okay now, Taia, thank you.)

Hello, I'm Assistant Professor Ellington. I understand you're interested in the English department here at Posh-Sounding University?

(PSU. Go Pterodactyls!)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Hi Taia! I'm ok. You?)

(I'm not going to change my profile, just assume anything roleplay is André. Also wbd.)

Rosalind Turner said...

*Shakes hands with Carey*

Yeah, hi. I'm Rosemary Bradley. I'm particularly interested in South American literature and magic realism.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Heh, go Pterodactyls!)

André: [shakes hands with Carey] Hello, I'm Cory Evans.

Rosalind Turner said...

(Who's rp-ing the other guy, and what's his name again?)

Mary Contrary said...

(... Did I scare Fera away? :P)

@Vi: Alright, cool, that's good to know. :)
Not that mine particularly needs shortening, but I'm pretty much the same way. :P :)

@Alastair, Carey: :)

@Carey: xD

Hello, Rosalind! :)

@Fabi: I'm OK, too. Thanks. :)

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(You are, Rozzy. It was your idea to bring him along.)

Hello Rosemary, Cory.

Ah, yes, magic realism, what a fascinating topic. I cover it in depth in my world literature class, except in the summer, when the term is shorter, then I include as much as I can, usually a little Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

*She turns to the other guy*

And you are?

Grant Ward ((Skylar Isome)) said...

Hello, everyone.

Rosalind Turner said...

(Hello Taia)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Yeah, I can't. Sorry Rozzy)

Rosalind Turner said...

(Hello, Grant)

(Fine then, Carey.)

Other guy: I'm Carter Fields, more of a Shakespearean scholar myself.

Rozzy: Garcia Marquez, of course! I was so saddened to hear of his passing.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Nice to meet you, Carter.

Shakespeare? Interesting. Which play is your favorite?

What about you, Corey. Do you have a favorite area of study?

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*Cory

(Why'd André have to choose an alias so similar to my name?)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

André: Oh? Um, I'm more of an academic writing person than a literature person. I did like reading To Kill a Mockingbird in school, though.

(Because he's used the name Cory before)

Rosalind Turner said...

Carter: Uh, the one with the king in it?

Rozzy: *Steps on Carter's foot.*

(Probably shouldn't have picked the name Carter. Too many C-r names. Oops)

Carter: Ow!

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*Sighs, looking from André to Carter*

Neither of you are actually prospective English majors, are you?

*Notes that the two guys are mid-twenties, while Rozzy looks 18 or so*

Rosalind Turner said...

Rozzy: No, none of us are. Fabi S. was here, looking for something you had. What was she looking for?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

( [Takes a moment to acknowledge everyone outside our roleplay] )

André: [Is still kind of bothered by people calling Mireille Fabi, but doesn't say so]

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Why would I tell you that?

Rosalind Turner said...

(Oh, yeah, hi people who aren't roleplaying with us who I didn't already say hi to.)

Mary Contrary said...

Hello, Grant. :)

@Fabi: :)
*watching/reading*

*also homework :P*

Feraaaa32 said...

it's so hot in my room ;_;

Rosalind Turner said...

Rozzy: Because you're a nice person? And we were having such a nice conversation about Gabriel Garcia Marquez... *Aims a slight glare at Carter and Andre* Oh, also some books might be in danger.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*Sighs* She was looking for files on herself. She also seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis. Now please leave my office, I have work to do.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(@Taia :-))

[André makes a gesture like "don't look at me, I'm the mortal here"]

Rosalind Turner said...

Rozzy: So you don't care about the books?

Carter: *Is wisely not saying anything* *Pulls out a little compass and turns it over in his hand*

Mary Contrary said...

@Fera: :(
Can you open a window? Electric fan?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

This seems to be an interesting roleplay, so far...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

You just said that because I'm a professor of literature. Or assistant professor, at any rate.

I'm not helping you track down your friend, or possibly enemy.

I don't care about your personal situations.

I just want to finish my lesson plans before the quarter starts tomorrow.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Why thank you, Alastair.)

Star Inkbright said...

((Of course it is. It's by Fabi. :)))

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Thanks, Alastair. :-)

Yeah, it's been pretty hot here too, Fera. :-( )

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Thanks, Star. XD))

Feraaaa32 said...

taia: yeah, i've already done the opening window things...doesn't help that much ^_^
yeah...it's ok though, i am accustomed to the hungarian climate ^_^

Star Inkbright said...

((:P Well, 'strue. XD))

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

Rosalind Turner said...

(Thanks, Alastair.)

*She sighs*

Okay, fine, you caught me. I was just thinking maybe you'd like to get out for a bit, away from PSU and its Posh-Sounding Pterodactyls, and the students who don't even want to work because it's summer, and the faculty who won't even promote you to associate professor because you look too young.

But whatever. If you'd rather just sit here all day, be my guest. Come on, Carter, Cory.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

That is an excellent point, Star.

Hello, Sophia.

Grant Ward ((Skylar Isome)) said...

Where is everyone located currently? Since I don't know where Zafira is, I'll join in with you.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Alastair.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I seem to have had a rather sudden change in film genre. First of all I was watching Taken 3, and now it appears I am watching Dirty Dancing, which is hardly my type of movie.)

Feraaaa32 said...

I am in the UK ^_^

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(We're at Posh-Sounding University. Go PSU Pterodactyls! However, I think we're taking a break soon, so it's not a good time for someone else to join, sorry.)

André: *Leaves with Rozzy and Carter*

Grant Ward ((Skylar Isome)) said...

Very well.

Mary Contrary said...

@Fera: Aw. :( Leaving your door open might help a little, too? ^^
Huh. :) You're from Hungary, then..?

@Star: :)

Hey, Sophia!
*laughs* :P

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Goodbye, then, Rosalind, André, and [insert Carter's actual name here].

*Closes the door behind them*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Taia, I have had an idea. I may email you the specifics.)

Rosalind Turner said...

Rozzy: *Scowls* Well, that went well.

Carter: *Holds up compass* Is there anything you want me to track?

Rozzy: I don't think so. Unless we can find something she actually touched, we won't be able to get a trace for you to follow. I think we'll have to come back later, perhaps when Assistant Professor Ellington isn't here.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

André: [Sighs] I just hope Mira's okay.

Rosalind Turner said...

Rozzy: I'd love to tell you your sister's completely fine, but I honestly have no idea. We are going to find her, though, and we are going to help her.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Hello Sophia)

André: [Nods] [Doesn't say anything]

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

*Sits in her office, drinking more coffee and grumbling about the time she could have used to organize lectures*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Fabi.)

Mary Contrary said...

Oh? Okay, Sophia. :)
... Never used my email on this phone before, so we'll see how that goes. :P

Rosalind Turner said...

Carter: *Is just kind of standing there because he doesn't know Andre that well, and he doesn't know Fabi at all. He's just a friend of Rozzy's who happens to have tracking magic.*

(Is this a good stopping point?)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(@Rozzy Yeah, I have to go actually.

See you later!)

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

(Hello, Sophia. Goodbye, Moss.)

(I'll still be here for a while, I suppose, though I haven't much to say.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: Um, I'm fairy sure I responded last. Ember was lighting those torches and Morgan said it was cool?

Hi everyone. :) Disappearing again soon. Sorry.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Suddenly the blog is quiet.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Perhaps I spoke too soon.

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: XD

Yeah. I'm not really here much though. I'm gonna leave as soon as my brother finishes his shower, and I'll probably be distant up until then.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Star, indeed. I replied after that. I will post it again for your benefit, however.)

Ember: Are you going to say that to every little thing I do? I can set things on fire, get used to it. It's going to happen a lot. *her hair ignites slightly before smoking and extinguishing* Sorry, temper. I've been trying to work on it.

Star Inkbright said...

((Oh, did you? I missed that entirely. Sorry.))

Morgan: *shrugs, losing the energy to sustain conversation well* It's okay.

Mary Contrary said...

(Sorry, having to go imminently, so, not really being here)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(That is perfectly alright.)

Ember: I am just so... angry, all of the time. *she holds her head gently*

Star Inkbright said...

Morgan: *metaphorically grits his teeth, trying to get his brain to process the conversation properly*
*he can't keep this up*
*mentally starts taking a guess on how long it'll take before he breaks down, before realising he has no one to bet with*

*looks slightly sympathetic*
Have you seen someone about that?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Ember: Not at all, and nor do I plan to. *she turns right at a junction in the corridors, illuminating the torches down the passage like she did with the others* You do not look so good. Are you alright?

Noelle said...

*Gently slithers to Alastair, climbing on his back and wrapping her legs around him*

Star Inkbright said...

Morgan: *he thought he was doing better than that, and he's annoyed at himself*
I'm fine.
Why don't you plan to?

Star Inkbright said...

((:) Hi Noelle.))

Grant Ward ((Skylar Isome)) said...

Who was it that offered to accept my challenge?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Noelle.)

Ember: I do not need a bloody therapist. *a demon - a creature largely composing of bones surrounded by a black mist - swoops down the corridor towards them* *she extends her hands to it, filling the corridor with fire, burning the demon to a crisp*

Feraaaa32 said...

adra: please change that prof pic btw ^_^

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*gains the motivation to comment, apparently*)

Onwa: Hmm.. Okay, yellow may not suit you.

James: Parasites are weird too.

*grins, kissing her with more passion, hands on her thighs*

Noelle said...

I'm sorry?

No

Feraaaa32 said...

well i don't hate you and you shouldn't hate yourself either ^_^ no "sorry" ^_^

Noelle said...

We're on two levels here.

That "I'm sorry" was synonymous with "what the hell did you just say to me"? Because there is no way in Hell someone is going to tell me what to do, and what to feel because, not surprisingly, depression doesn't just go away because someone says something nice.

I'm not changing my profile picture, and I don't love myself. That's how I am, please stop trying to change me.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hot glue hurts..)

Inky Flame said...

(Hello my darlings!)

Grant Ward ((Skylar Isome)) said...

You can't change a person, her profile picture is very sad, but until she decides to change it because it no longer stands for her, then she will change it.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Chloe. How are you?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Jaimie. *she cuddles Jaimie tightly*)

Liliana: Pink.

Parasite: Hardly.

Bethany: *she sighs happy, letting out a gentle moan, the glow getting brighter*

Inky Flame said...

(I is tired but good
You?)
