[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Clumsywordsmith]

It got so bad, when I did -- on rare occasion -- fold my laundry, I would pair together mismatching socks out of necessity. And if anyone came to visit, I would always be sure to acquire at least one extra pair for my own purposes.

[Igraine]

Wow... Because like, pairing up socks is simply exhausting guys?

Really?

Anyway, back to London with us all, with the post that probably should have happened at least one posting ago for me - and I pray you'll all forgive me. It seems a wire or two got crossed along the way >< There were gifts promised along the way as well for those who went to retrieve Max - pick your blessing I suppose? Or if your character is broke, perhaps at least get healed if you like, from the goddess of magic, fertility and healing? Up to you of course, but Heroes may never let me loose again, so use sense and have at it! *grins*

[tirgesfu]

I wish for endless matched folded socks!

No wait. Forget that.

[Igraine]

I'd almost wonder if the matter of matching socks is the kind of thing that needs a whole magical wish, but considering the importance I've discovered it has in the lives of certain folks around here? I'm totally willing to consider a change of heart on the subject ;) I have a midterm in one of my classes on Monday, so this weekend will be a bit dodgy for me. But I'll still be about because the things you folks write are the happy, lovely, bright study distractions that keep me sane. ;)

Do people still actively match socks? This is news to me. I've taken to buying splotchy neon pairs specifically to avoid having to match. Granted, I also understand I will never work in a law office or anything, but I'm reeeeally okay with that.

[Derren Krenshaw]

Buy all one color, or buy extremely vibrant and colorful socks, and never have to worry about matching again. Or there's the option of not having to wear socks in the first place.

Ahhh, how nice those summers were.

[Hellis]

My socks tend to vanish into thin air when i need them the most.

[Igraine]

I have the vague, uneasy feeling that if I admit I actively match socks, I'm saying something akin to, "Way, way back when, back when the mammoths still roamed the Earth and fire was still quite the novelty, there was an enigmatic group of people who, quite deliberately, began to coordinate their footwear by size and material and, strangely enough, by color... "

eta: unless, of course, you're Hellis who still hasn't learned to tame the darn things from roving at will...

[Hellis]

YOU LAUGH AT MY PAIN! :(

[Igraine]

Awwwww... *pats Hellis gently* No I wouldn't do that! Maybe giggle a little, but never outright belly laugh - who'd ever be so cruel?

[DotCom]

*bad poker face* ...

[Lillian Thorne]

*pokes quiet thread*

How are people? I know I'm waiting for someone else, mostly AH, to post. Anyone else waiting on someone? I know it is the weekend but I thought a poke might be in order.

[fantasyfan28]

I am waiting for either Crabmeat to reappear and post or for the next instalment from AH. I could post something but it would only be a filler post at best.

[Lillian Thorne]

Oh I hear you! I'm not a fan of filler.

Besides that, how goes your weekend?

[Igraine]

It's all righty FF, for the no filler posts - and I hope your weekend is treating you well too. Thank you Lil for the pokings of the quiet thread. On the side of just getting to the London Office, is there anyone who is waiting on something or someone to post?

[fantasyfan28]

My weekend hasn't be overly exciting. I have had the opportunity to reacquaint myself with Minecraft however so all is not lost. I am a sucker for this game just because of how simple it seems yet it sucks you in and before you know it you have spent almost a whole day building random things.

[DotCom]

I'll be getting in a post soon, too. =)

[Igraine]

Outstanding Dot! I'd worried I'd left you with too little, or just a hot mess you didn't want to deal with or... Something? >< Wasn't sure which and...

Well looky there! Ask and you shall receive from our beloved GM, no?

[AmongHeroes]

Haha, I try. I don't want to move the story along too much because I'd like to give some people time to catch up, have fun, and do their own thing. I'll admit I'm a little worried about some of our more distant players. You're all sorely missed! Come back and play, the water isn't that cold, I promise!

[DotCom]

Nooo, Grainsy, it was adorable.
