Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIX: Were-Librarians - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-03-2009, 06:22 AM

Fea, hugging Formendacil fondly, politely excuses herself, moves gracefully through the crowd, and then, with a gleeful squee, launches herself upon alonariel.

"I brought you lemons!!!" she giggles, dumping them on alonariel.

Fea wanders over to greet Brinn, admiring what is either new ink or fake ink.

They banter.

Suddenly Fea feels an explosion against her back and falls face forward to the floor. The wind knocked out of her, she tries desperately to get her breath back while Mira nuzzles her in a death grip hug. When she can finally choke out a few words, she says, from the floor, "I missed you too," and pets Mira's hair (which Fea cut and which Mira better wear down for her even if it's hot when she comes to visit in TWO DAYS).

Fea continues to banter a bit, and rests assured that everybody will realize that at heart she is in fact bantering more or less all day, even though her alter ego will be most likely bored at a new job.

"Nienna, love-" she begins to say, wanting to leave a message with someone reasonably reliable, and then realizes Nienna has already run off to make art.

Well... Time to get ready to be a Grown Up.

I can not believe I came to the reunion. What on earth was I thinking. I really didn't care for most of these people when I was in high school. They seriously had no clue to how much power a person can generate from a computer. Money is to be made in computers. All they did was give me these crazy looks all the time.

What they don't know is that I'm now working for Bill Gates making some good money. So I do know why I came. I'm hoping to be able to show them all up. Especially the prissy ones. What is it with cheerleaders that make them think they are better than anyone else?

Oh well. I shall wait for the right time, then I will really show them. They obviously haven't seen the car I've been driving.

I go grab some punch and head to a corner of the room where I can keep to myself for the time being and play with my SmartPhone.

Wilwa giggled as she continued to tell Mac and Shasta about how #8 is finally walking, how wonderful is that!?!

They don't seem to be all that interested, she thought sadly as Shasta walked away to talk to Sally, sweet girl though, and Mac just sat there looking half asleep. How strange, I thought everyone would be so excited to hear about my wonderful miracles.

She decided to wander around and look for someone else to talk too. After grabbing a strange green drink that tasted like bananas she walked up to Nessa, who also seemed quite lonely.

"Hello!" Willwa said gently trying to remember any classes they had together. "Remember that one time in English Lit...."

Boro started talking, as if there was a person still next to him, he assumed Hakon was still there, but he didn't know for sure:

"A bit zealous, but she's got a good heart...sally that is. Remember the school play, about 1920s Chicago? I was a wealthy businessman that resemebled Colonel Saunders, that's when she first started liking me...weird. But it's not like I haven't had worse. This one girl, Kylee, oh that was scary. Always asking me to give her a ride home, and peeking around corners to see if I was alone so she could ambush me. *shiver* She's not here is she? She can't be, don't worry, she was 3 years younger...can't be here. No way."

He looks as sally, she was beaming. He looks at Lari, Boro can't read the look on her face, it looks like she's been carrying something bad, something she wants to get off her chest. Probably just stress from this get together. If you go up and ask her, you know it will not go well. He looks back at sally, she must have noticed he had turned his attention and for a moment had his mind on Lari...sally did not look pleased now. Oh no, it wasn't anything like that dear. Not at all, no. Why can't you just go up and tell her? Because you know if you do you will start sweating and stuttering and make yet another fool of yourself. This is going to be a long night, bud.

*gulps* "I'm going to see if they have anything stronger than punch."

Mira disentangled herself from Fea when she remembered the Jello shots she had secretly made just in case things got boring. While Jello shots might not have been the most respectable of drinks for a high school reunion (she knew Fea especially would disapprove unless made with bourbon or something equally vile and orange-nail-polish-remover-tasting), they would certainly be a conversation piece.

Before she had a chance to go get them from the kitchen, however, it occurred to Mira that she had not yet crushed Nienna in a death hug. One look around told her the art student was nowhere to be found and thus must be in the studio. Mira smiled. Many a good time had been had in the studio, often at her expense. She disappeared down the hallway to find her reclusive friend (aka Mira has to be a big girl and go to work now).
