I am weird, I have just come back from a youth group trip, which consists of a weekend witha bunch of college kids, and I just got home, got on the moot, while I watch planet of the apes 2. it is late, but in the words of Sir andrew, 'By my troth, I know if it be late, it be late.' taken from 12th night. I am slowly becoming a shakespeare hobbit. hmmm, ok, i am so hyper, just forgive me, and lets get this thing started!

Adrian Baggins · 10-26-2003, 08:59 PM

ic: I walked into the library and headed to a back table that already had four people sitting around it. I looked over into the rows of shelves and spotted David, smiling, I waved at him.

"Hey Tyler," he said, walking over with a book in his hands.

"Hey David, come on, let's go sit down," I said, walking to the table and pulling out a chair, sitting in it backwards. "Hey guys."

Eärloth · 10-26-2003, 10:55 PM

But anyway...

ic; "Hey," Autumn replied, glancing up and grinning. "I answered your prose," she added, sliding a piece of paper across the table. It was littered with hasty but clear handwriting, in which the most common frequentative was Yávië. "I'd do more," said Autumn apologetically. "But I gotta lotta work; your section was cool, though." She began browsing an older manuscript that Tyler recognised as one of her own chapters before handing it over to Elizabeth.

"You read it yet?" she asked off-handedly, returning to her work.

Akamai Deredal · 10-26-2003, 11:30 PM

Kathryn looked up from one of her own books, as Tyler and David sat done. Smiling she inclined her head in greeting. "G'day you two. Where've you been?" Her australian accent was thick, but the kindness in her voice was unmistakable.

PippinTook · 10-27-2003, 12:16 AM

Elizabeth slammed the book down on the table. "Done!" she said with a smile that soon faded when the librarian walked up tot hier table. "Elizabeth," she said, staring down at the girl. "dearly sorry, won't happen again." said Elizabeth. "Whew, so what are y'all up to?" she asked her friends with an accent that was a twist between scottish and southrern hillbilly.

Adrian Baggins · 10-27-2003, 01:21 AM

"Around," I said, reaching for my pack.

"Hunting for books," David said, shifting his chair.

"Elizabeth asked what we had been doing then.

"Not much," David said, running a hand through his hair.

"Same old same old," I said, looking up from my pack and smiling, brushing a short strand of white blonde hair out of my face.

"So, has anyone actually finished anything they've been working on, fully, except homework braniac," I said, waving my hand in David's face.

"Well, actually, now that you mention it, I spet all yesterday afternoon working on a poem, and I wanted it to be a long on, and I finished it," David said, smiling as he passed it to me.

"Cool, braniac comes out of his shell of Homework," I said teasingly, laughing as I finished.

PippinTook · 10-27-2003, 01:38 AM

"I finished my biology project, and a midsummer night's dream, but that was just for fun, not school. I still have Taming of the shrew, 12th night, romeo and juliet, macbeth, and hamlet this year." said Elizabeth, setting down her Shakespeare book. "A poem sounds nice, David!" she said. "I am so very thirsty, anyone up for some tea?" she asked, stuffing her books in her bag. "What I wouldn't give for a plate of barbeque and beans with a plop of mashed potatoes!"

Nariel · 10-31-2003, 12:32 PM

ooc: since I'm a college student, let's say I'm an after-school tutor or something.

Arianne walked in to the library and saw the group. "Hey, guys," she said, approaching them. "Whatcha up to?"

PippinTook · 10-31-2003, 01:20 PM

"Oh, we're fine, Arianne, just hungry." said Elizabeth, setting her books back on the table. "What are we doing today?"

Nariel · 10-31-2003, 05:36 PM

"Well," said Arianne, smiling. "I had Brit Lit on the schedule, but if you want to do something else, that's fine."

Legoles · 10-31-2003, 06:24 PM

"Sorry I'm late! Teach, kept me after school." She rolled her eyes and sat next to Autumn, a manga book entitled:"Yu-Yu Hakasho" in the crook of her elbow. "Brit Lit eh? Sounds okay."

PippinTook · 11-01-2003, 01:51 AM

"brit lit! Oh please, Arianne! Please, tell me we are reading Shakespeare! Oh, please! Macbeth? Hamlet? As you will?" said Elizabeth hastily begging.

Akamai Deredal · 11-01-2003, 12:11 PM

Kathryn laughed softly as she closed her book after sliding in her marker. Elizabeth's love for shakespearean (sp? o.o)works was unbelievable. Smiling, she shook her head, "Calm down, Elizabeth, let Arianne have a chance to speak."

Nariel · 11-02-2003, 11:46 PM

"Thanks, Kathryn," said Arianne, smiling. "Actually, I've brought a little something different and more recent for the next couple of weeks. Anyone familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien?"

PippinTook · 11-03-2003, 12:18 AM

"I've read the hobbit and I started to trilogy, but never finished." said Elizabeth.

I don't know if we are supposed to 'know' about tolkien or not.

Akamai Deredal · 11-03-2003, 12:26 AM

Kathryn nodded. "I'm quite familiar with his works, Arianne. You of all people should know that, my family is a bundle of fiction fanatics. Anything to do with fantasy and they'll jump on it like a pack of starving wolves." She laughed slightly as Elizabeth wrinkled her nose, "Lovely mental picture there, Kathryn. Thanks so much." Tilting her head to the side, Kathryn smiled at her friend, "You're quite welcome, mate." She often slipped back into her Aussie "slang" and the accent was always present, but the others had grown used to it by now.

OOC: Sorry for manipulating Elizabeth, Pip, just wanted to add a little more voice to the post don'tcha know.

Eärloth · 11-03-2003, 12:29 AM

well, she asked, so

Autumn stretched back in her chair and laughed a deep, throaty cackle. "Name someone who hasn't," she said in her light Scottish accent. "I love his books."

ooc; lol Akai, I'm an Aussie; a girl here actually wrote a book called "The Little Book of Aussie Slang". Meheheh. [hint: we call it 'slanguage' and 'mate' doesn't classify as slang...except for that it's used more loosely than you would expect...meh, who the buggery cares]

PippinTook · 11-03-2003, 03:43 PM

ohh, akai, you're in trouble, we've got a real aussie! I know someone from brisbane, and another person from perth. I am aerican, through and through. though I did live in england for a year. but give me the Tennessee Hills! actually, now I live in CA, ick. anywho, yes, on with the rpg!

"Arianne, you are going to have a hard time trying to find something we haven't read!" said Elizabeth.
