Shall we take bets on whether or not zombies are the worst thing we'll see this year?

[Horst is lounging on a couch near a fire, a book open and on his chest.]

I realized, with all the new arrivals especially, we have a pool of unusual skills here. Would anyone be willing to teach a few classes? For instance: I could teach...oh, bar tending. Card dealing. Physics and labwork--you know, whatever there is interest for.

The ponies could teach 'Frolicking 101'. The angels could teach 'Offending Someone in Two Words or Less'.



[PRIVATE to RACHEL]

Have you done opera at all?

Ah! [She tries to see where he went before a soft "eep" at being lifted.] Horst!

[He laughs and hugs her, then sets her down] Did you get enough at dinner?

[She wants to argue at being set down but she's a big girl so... she gives a small nod.] Ah yes, I did. [She ate alone though.]

[He hates that she has dinner before he wakes up now; the sun isn't even down until an hour before her bed time.]

But did you have dessert?

[She hates it too Horst, she really does. Because she gets lonely without you.]

I haven't, no.

That's not right, Alice, not right at all.

[He scoops her up over his shoulder and takes her right to the kitchen, where he has a stash of honey cakes. They're not much but they're dessert.]

Eep! [She giggles as she's lifted over his shoulder and hugs onto him tight. She smiles at his honey cakes as she's given some.]

I... could try to stay up later. So we could always have dessert at least. It's not fair I don't get to see someone I love so!

No, no, you need your sleep. Especially if I do get school started. I'll make sure to get up just as soon as the sun is down.

But just a little longer couldn't hurt. I really could try.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Maybe just an hour. Or half an hour. [Because he misses Alice.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

An hour. It can't be that hard!

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

All right. But if you get tired, you go to bed, ok?

[Offline]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I will if I do, but I won't! Because if I do then I shan't see you! And I've had quite enough of that

[He laughs, and gives in]

What did you do today?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I'm inventing something!
