[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Clumsywordsmith]

Mmmm... Women in black and white. Undeniably alluring.

[Igraine]

Just for you, Wordsmith:

Cyd Charisse

Josephine Baker

Lauren Bacall

and my personal favorite, for being indescribably elegant and all-around breathtaking:

Veronica Lake

Anyway, just found out my school will be closed tomorrow - the final is still going to happen, but perhaps not til Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of this week, we'll see. So I'll go see about at least starting a post - I still know I need to work in all this studying too, and not slack off or things will get painful ><

*Points to his avatar's face*

I always knew he'd be useful for something...

[Unlit]

Nothing like a quadruple does of classic beauty. They just don't make Hollywood starlets like they used to. Cyd Charisse and Veronica Lake just sound like some awesome leading lady names.

[Unlit]

Haha, Clumsy. That surprised unicorn look turns into "stunned by hotness" pretty easily.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say... yay for postponed tests!

[Igraine]

Oh that's awesome Wordsmith - don't get me wrong, these unicorns crack me up to no end, but I have a sig/avatar set made by Heroes that I adore. But yeah... them unicorn eyes - with eyebrows no less!

And thank you so much Unlit, we're all pretty excited in my class, the texts have been flying! At least a few of us have plans to also watch an episode of the Walking Dead WITHOUT GUILT! *throws hands up in victory!* Well... then go right back to studying. But yes, that whole 'take a breath' thing is nice! I'm sure you remember the 'bad old days' too.

[Unlit]

Well do I remember the elation of a cancelled or postponed test. Of course instead of being a good student, I usually would use that extra time gorging myself on roleplay or something, and I'd still end up frantically cramming on the night before the test. Ah well.

[Igraine]

Psh, you are gainfully employed now, so it all must have all worked out somehow! *grins*

[Unlit]

Well, some things worked out. But I'm just saying! If you want to minimize your stress, you probably don't want to follow my example, even though I'm sure we would all love you to gorge yourself on Pieces here.

Had I a snake I would totally let her have at it!

This. Or, you know what...fuck it. She and I...we'll work something out.

[Igraine]

WELL then... Yeah, stupid long sorry >< Not even the excuse of a collab, but there was just so much to respond to? *blerg* anyway, I didn't edit at all - need sleeps I'm afraid. So I'll look it over in a couple hours, polish up as need be, and hopefully I didn't screw anyone up too awful badly. Just let me know if I did, because edits work.

[Hellis]

lovely post. I believe i need to start writing now.

[DotCom]

Agreed. I'll let another post or two go by before I hop into the fray again, but it was, once again, Grainsy, high-quality work. It *did* however, result in me waking my roommate's poor puppy at three in the morning, but he got a belly rub out of it, so it's probably a win-win.

[Unlit]

What a wonderful set of posts to read this morning! Some heartfelt werewolf introductions and introspection, an awe-inspired transformation from our dryad, an unexpected decision from our giant, and a regretful admission from our druid. Great stuff.

Fantasyfan28, I could be wrong, but I think Raleigh was choosing not to go to Egypt, as well. Am I wrong, Crabby?

[Hellis]

he said he was seeking the ankh, and from what I understood, it's in Egypt.

Nvm, he said he'd go with someone, Atticus I think.

[fantasyfan28]

If that is the case I will go and edit accordingly.

I was pretty sure Raleigh was going with the group to retrieve the Ankh.

[Lillian Thorne]

He's not going to Egypt. If you look at the last paragraph he says he looks to Atticus and speaks before he changes his mind.

Crabmeat said
He looked to Atticus before he changed his mind. . “I will go with you.” The next two words were a great release, the two syllables carrying all the weight of his world. “Old friend.”

But I do agree with Unlit, some lovely posts to return home too.

[Igraine]

Nope nope, he went with Atticus after Mr. Hoyle and his mission - though I've no idea what drama there is between Raleigh and Atticus, and the poor dead woman Lena? *waits for juicy tidbits of incubus-gossip to flow*

Thank you all for your kind words, but yeah, I know that post was ungodly long, and a little [read: LOT, like painfully] awkward too, but I hate leaving anyone out if it can be helped. >< Sethan removed himself with Atticus, so at that time of night I gave myself a pass for getting by without at least mention. For whatever it's worth, the edits (going back and reading how poorly things were written) caused me pain too - so there is that! *grins*

And Dot, since dogs rarely have to get up in the morning to go to school or work? A 3 am belly rub is ALWAYS a win!

[fantasyfan28]

I went over and made a few changes, hopefully it works still. I am now on the same page as everyone else lol.

[Unlit]

I like rubs at 3 AM too in case anyone was wondering.
