Just Because I Can - Page 3

Nariel · 11-03-2003, 04:21 PM

Arianne raised an eyebrow. "We're not reading the trilogy. Sorry, guys. We're reading this." she whipped out several copies of "Farmer Giles of Ham and other stories."

PippinTook · 11-03-2003, 04:41 PM

Elizabeth took one of the copies. She eyed it suspiciously, "I don't think i have ever seen one of these before!" she said. "Where did you get it?"

Nariel · 11-04-2003, 04:27 PM

"The well-known secret of a used book store... I practically live in those places..." said Arianne, handing out copies. "Let's start after the introduction on the actual story. Has anyone read this before?"

Akamai Deredal · 11-04-2003, 09:55 PM

Kathryn looked at the book and shook her head. "No, I don't believe I have, Arianne." Opening the book, she flipped through the pages and settled down into her chair again, eager to start reading, and wanting to find a comfortable postition to sit in. A few of the others did the same, and she turned her eyes to Arianne expectantly.

PippinTook · 11-04-2003, 11:32 PM

No, I don't believe I have either, Arianne." said Elizabeth, flipping through the book.

Eärloth · 11-05-2003, 02:16 AM

"This is the cutest story," commented Autumn, picking up one of the books and flicking through it. She gave a quiet, tired laugh. "Eh, 'Ham'," she said, shaking her head. "Never read it," she declared, dropping the book back on the table as the others shook their heads. "I can’t help it," she exclaimed defensively. "Just because I'm demented…" she muttered, grinning.

Legoles · 11-05-2003, 06:09 PM

"I haven't either. I've read the Trilogy, The Hobbit, and the book of lost tales, but never this one." [Another thing abou. my char. She reads alot, and very fast, much like me

] She settled in her chair and began to read. She finished the first chapter or so in a matter of mins.

Nariel · 11-06-2003, 08:06 PM

Ariane grinned. "Well, let's all get started, then."After everyone had read the first few chapters and they discussed it, she looked at ther watch. "Oh my! We've gone over time. How's about I take you all out for a bite to make it up to you?"

Adrian Baggins · 11-06-2003, 10:43 PM

I shook my head, waking up from my daydream to see Arianne and Silver sitting and I shook my head again, trying to get that last episode of Yu Yu Hakusho out of my mind. "Hi Arianne, what are we doing today, I wasn't paying attention?"

David looked at me shocked, I always payed attention in a library.

PippinTook · 11-07-2003, 12:16 AM

"Oh, Cracker Barrel please!" said Elizabeth remorsefully. "Yrrch, we don't have CB over here!" she sighed. They only had Cbs in the southeasternpart of the states.

ooc: where are we? I randomly assumed we are not in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama or the carolinas! I vote we all move to TN! yrrch for california! I am not sure what yrrch means, but I use it alot, in rpgs and in regular speech.

Adrian Baggins · 11-08-2003, 01:03 PM

"Anywhere but Cracker Barrel, I hate that place. How about we go to...I don't know, um....well...I already ate so, you guys can go where you want. Just not Cracker Barrel," I said, grimacing as I thought of the place.

PippinTook · 11-08-2003, 11:58 PM

*gasp* "mashed potatoes, fried okra, sweet tea!" *pats tummy* "But for the moment, you guys can decide where we eat."

Nariel · 11-11-2003, 01:42 PM

ooc: We do too have Cracker Barrel!!! THere's one in El Centro, so THERE!

IC: Arianne smiled. "Anyone up of In-N-Out? IT's my favourite... Cracker Barrel is usually very crowded."

PippinTook · 11-11-2003, 07:12 PM

"Sounds good to me!" said Elizabeth as she stuffed her books in her back pack. She searched the empty pockets for money, "Er, guys? I am smack broke! Can someone lend me a five?" she asked timidly. she never carried cash, and borrowed money often.

Legoles · 11-11-2003, 07:56 PM

"There you go!" Silver handed her a 5. She tucked away Farmer Giles of Ham, and got out a graphic novel from Shonen Jump entiled "Yu-Yu Hakusho." "Well, let's go! I'm hungry at least." She picked up her stuff and looked at them impatiently.

Adrian Baggins · 11-11-2003, 09:23 PM

I sighed as I stood up, tired for some reason.

"Tristan, are you feeling alright, you look, paler than usual, if that's possible," David said, standing up as well and taking my hand *NO COMMENTS!!*.

"I'm alright, just a little tired I guess, haven't been doing much lately, I've been feeling bad for the last week or two," I commented, laying my head lightly on his shoulder.

He pressed his lips to my forehead for a few seconds and then sighed, "Trist, you're running a fever, I'm gonna take you home, come on," he said, looking down at me with a look of love in his eyes.

"Fine, I guess, see you guys later," I said, walking forward.

Nariel · 11-13-2003, 10:14 PM

"okay, see ya later, Trist. Hope ya feel better" said Arianne. "Whoever's going to In-N-Out needs to be in my van in approximately two minutes..."

PippinTook · 11-14-2003, 09:10 PM

"Right-ho!" said Elizabeth, bounding out the door and to the van. "Shot-gun!" she cried, pouncing upon the passenger's seat.

Legoles · 11-15-2003, 12:05 AM

"Darn! Missed it agin!" Silver climed into hte window seat and looked at everyone else. "Well? Hop in!"

Adrian Baggins · 11-15-2003, 02:41 PM

ooc: Okay, the reason I made my character sick is.......I WILL NOT BE ON FOR THE WEK OF THANKSGIVING BECAUSE I AM GOING TO MY MOM'S AND HER COMP CRASHED........

This will keep both of my characters out of the action for a while cuz David and I both live alone and he will stay with me and take care of me

he's such a good Boyfriend. So, thanx. c ya l8r
