[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Unlit]

I didn't get a chance to earlier, as I was busy trying to type a post in between silly ... y'know... job stuff, but... great posts! Really. You guys max out the Awesometer. And nice, AH. Always great to get that story movement!

DotCom said I'd love to title it, but y'all are frankly so much wittier than I am it would only be embarrassing for everyone. So, friends, have at it. I'll start work on the script.

Hmm...

How I Met Your Mummy
Everybody Loves Sethan
Golem Pains
According to Adam
Pharaoh Knows Best
Leave it to Reaper (A Daisy sitcom)
Sethan and the City
Adam’s Family Values
Golem Meets World

Any of those sound good?

[AmongHeroes]

Unlit...thank you for this. You have made my night thinking of these on television.

[Dead Cruiser]

You guys are better at this than me.I don't want to sound like some kind of smug poseur (though given how I just spelled that word, I probably do), but I'm not really familiar enough with sitcoms to provide much input.

In any case, we'll have to get Sethan and Adam talking soon. These two are sure to get along famously.

And I'll give you guys another update on the novel I'm reading, just because I care. This has been a thoroughly revolting story from beginning to end. I recommend it highly, and also would prefer that it be lost to history.

Hey all, coming up for air long enough to say hello, delightful posts etc. I'll try to have a post up in the next day or so.

No worries, LT. How's your sanity? Need a brain massage?

[Lillian Thorne]

I need a new composition professor but I'll settle for that brain massage, Sir.

[AmongHeroes]

Sit in this chair, I'll get my brain-massage oil. Zen music? Green tea?

[Lillian Thorne]

Perfection! Thanks.

Grainy? Hon? You were right, my heart belongs to Fatesy now.

[Lillian Thorne]

Good Morning all. Eggs and sweet and spicy bacon with home made wheat toast are the offerings today, as long as Sir or someone provides coffee!

[AmongHeroes]

I'm down with the coffee! How are we fairing today?

[Lillian Thorne]

**trades plate of eggs, bacon and toast for a mug of coffee*

I am much rested after my brain massage. I am almost done with my paper too! Yay! which is good because the Rough draft is due today. How about you, Sir?

[AmongHeroes]

I'm doing well! Just working my way through editing fire reports . I am glad to hear your brain hasn't oozed out of your ears too much. I'm sure your composition will be great!

I'll do my best to treat it gently. Unless you prefer rough.



Good morning, folks! *grabs coffee and a sample of breakfast offerings* Thank you, AH and LT. Glad to hear you got some rest, Lillian. And congrats on nearly finishing the paper.

Fire reports? Sounds ... thrilling (if the green sick face is any indicator).

[Navy_Vet]

Catching up on IC posts will reply shortly. Work has been insane I have no time to breathe anymore it seems like.

[Igraine]

Sorry so quiet, but for the past 72 - 96 hours dealing with a veritable wall of sh*t that I never saw coming, and has kind of mind-screwed me pretty well. I'll try to have a post up at some point this evening, though early or late I couldn't begin say.

Though never fear, it had nothing to do with Dot and her precious, fickle, wayward ways. Of course I was right hon - I'm always right, in case you ever wondered - though I should warn you Fatesy/Unlit/whatever you'd like to go by: do not squeeze our Dot too close, or try to clutch her in your hand too tightly. She will only slip between your fingers. She may sing her song for you at the moment, but that beautiful bird will fly as she will...

[Lillian Thorne]

Rough Draft is done and handed in, thanks for all the well wishes. Hopefully she won't hand it back 2 days before the final draft is due like she did last time. Ugh.

And just for the record, I'm still heartbroken about the brief time Dot loved me. It will change you and you will never be the same. (but it is totally worth it, so sweet is the bliss!)

[Unlit]

Well, a minute of bliss is worth a lifetime of... uh... not-bliss?

[Lillian Thorne]

This is so so true!

In other news, I recently made a fascinating discovery: two laundry hampers allows for the endless cycling of clean and dirty. I now welcome the days of never needing to fold anything ever again.

Excellent.

And just out of interest, are our characters actually -- you know -- physically riding this goddess creature? Or is the bird form more metaphorical, right before she magically spirits us away to the destination?
