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

*mutters to herself*

Perfect, just perfect. I bloody hated high school, you know. Spent all my time either in the library or on the edge of the stage reading books. Same difference, really. *sighs* Best see who's all here then, I suppose.

Fea. Oh, there's lovely. Loved doing group projects with her; one of the few times I didn't have to do all the work.

Hakon. Wait, that can't be Hakon! That snobby kid who was always too good to talk to anyone? Best be keeping clear of him; the way he looks I bet he's not changed at all, and if he does talk to me I sure don't want to hear how much money he's been making.

Boro. Okay, take a deep breath, it's only Boro. But....dang, he looks good. Holy cow, I've missed him. We'd probably still be together if it wasn't for stupid Lari getting in the way. I suppose my obsession senior year with randomly becoming a tree didn't help, but I still think he only liked her because she tutored him in history....*sighs*....Well, he doesn't seem to interested in the little homewrecker tonight, so maybe....just maybe....maybe I should go fix my hair and snag my Cyrano out of my purse. He always did like French.

Tum. She was in our class? Oh yeah, that kid who always carried around a little screwdriver and that notebook full of random numbers and crap.

Nerwen. If she breaks into song one time this weekend I'll kill her. Other than that I suppose she's all right, though I would bet my complete works of Shakespeare that her job has something to do with an oven mitt and a funny hat with bull horns on it. 'Mammalian nutrition specialist' my tap shoe clad foot.

Nessa. Poor kid, looks like she never did anything with her life. Yet another of us who should have made a ton of money but instead is working six dozen jobs just so we can do what we love. Oooo, that's interesting. She and Shasta are just chatting away. Lovely.

Wilwa. Well hello, Mrs. Robinson. I can't believe she's with- oh, that's her son. Much better then. You know, for being the school 'sweetheart' she looks pretty happy with all those kids. Very cute. Always did like her, even if she did hit on Boro a bit much.

Nienna. I'm really hoping that's paint on her shirt, because otherwise we might be in a bit of trouble.

Mac. Didn't say much then, probably won't say much now. I suppose he was nice though, and he helped out a lot with the sets, so he can't be all bad.

Shasta. I remember when we used to hang out after rehearsals and he'd paint....things....on the sets. *giggles* It's a shame he got kicked out of the drama club because he's a fabulous scene partner. Can't wait to hang out with him this weekend and see what kind of hijinks we can come up with....well, he can come up with and I can giggle at or vice versa but no matter what it should be a blast.

Form. Still can't believe he called last week, just to use me as a reference for his silly thesis. I mean I know I'm a rising star but I'm not of much use for a paper on the theory of comedy and macaroni. Strange, strange kid, but amusing I guess.

Alona. That's right, she was the girl who always hung out with Lari. Really, I think that's the only reason she had a social life, because if it wasn't for Miss Princess over there across the room Alona would have spent all her time volunteering at the hospital. She looks like me during show weeks, only a heck of a lot worse, the poor girl. Maybe she'll get to relax a bit this weekend instead of running around like George flipping Hay.

Brinn. Ah, well, still creepy as ever. Whoa, I didn't know you could get piercings there. Now I remember why I always avoided her. Awk....ward....

Lari. Of course she's here and wearing the skankiest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like those glasses make her look any less like....Oh, look, Boro's walking by again....That's right, Miss, you leave him alone.

Mira. Heh, she was always interested in random crap, so I guess her job makes sense. But she was nice enough for a bit of a weirdo, so not a total loss. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.

satansaloser2005 · 08-03-2009, 12:20 AM

Boro always did have a way with words. *giggles* I guess we'll have to have another discussion about how to use our mouths.

After all the hours we spent working on his public speaking you'd think he'd be better at it. After all, he is going to be a teacher....

*sighs*

He can teach me anytime.

Oooo everyone's stopped paying attention to him now. Maybe it's time we had a little conversation....

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-03-2009, 12:55 AM

Hmph. I can't believe I came back to this. I could have been in a brick-wall no-name cafe reciting poetry to a drumbeat against the machine.

Shasta looked around the room disgruntledly, pointedly ignoring Wilwa -

Okay, I was mean all throughout highschool, I can sit here and look at some dumb pictures. She's obviously proud of them.

Sighing, he made an effort to pay attention to Wilwa while simultaneously searching the room for Sally - she was probably likely to be the most fun of anyone here.

satansaloser2005 · 08-03-2009, 01:38 AM

*tackles Shasta with a hug but quickly composes herself*

I've not seen you in ages, ever since that run-in you had with Boro in front of the nurse's station. I hope you'll get along a bit better this weekend, because I don't want to find out if it's still possible for us to get detention. (On the plus side, I always did like a good bit of drama, for obvious reasons.) I hate to leave you with no one interesting to talk to, but I'm supposed to hook up with Boro in a bit, so I better be off. Nice talking to you again! See you later!

*steps away then glances around and sighs*

Now where has Boro gone off to? I could have sworn I just saw him. Maybe he decided to be more phantom-ish, school spirit and all that rubbish. Or maybe he just went to the bathroom....

Nerwen · 08-03-2009, 01:52 AM

Nerwen had thought she'd have a chance to catch up with old friends, but she couldn't even remember some of these people, and the ones she did could be summed up as, "the weird kids". The worst part was that a lot of them seemed to be doing better than her,

Unless they're faking it too, she thought. Sally had implied that she was sort of making it in theatre, but Nerwen couldn't imagine how. Maybe they get her to play trees.

She snorted with laughter, nearly inhaling her drink. A few people looked at her then, and she pretended to cough.

Sally was now talking to Shasta, the former school rebel, who, she had to admit, was still quite hot.

Nerwen drifted over to them. "Hey, funny about Lari isn't it? I never knew she was an Amber Lynn fan."

Nienna · 08-03-2009, 05:54 AM

Nienna glances around the room. She is pretty sure that she has never seen most of these people before in her life. She wonders what this says about her as a person and how that could be conveyed through her art.

*rushes off to spend the day in the art room working this fabulous idea*

*will probably be back later in the day to show off her work or pretend that she hasn't made anything*

Nessa Telrunya · 08-03-2009, 06:12 AM

Nessa glanced around in apprehension at her former classmates, wondering if drawing a Wunki was still thought weird. The elusive creature was the cutest thing, but of course in high school, a fascination with a "fantasy" creature would be teased.

Everyone was here, apparently, although she couldn't recognize a few. Deciding that this would be a long weekend, Nessa took a sip of her drink. Maybe after all these years, someone will have lightened up and felt like speaking to her.

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.
