First Run - Hi, what the hell?

[speeding]

Okay. So.

• Magical journal? Check.
• Shower has been had? Check.
• Actually not-goopy clothing that still doesn't really fit? Check.
• Waking up in the most insane excuse for a social study without any memories or, you know, clothes, and being told the low-down by some poor girl who looked like she was going to faint? Double check.
• Getting practically manhandled around to god knows where without anyone telling me what the hell this is about and ending up writing this next to an endless rack of lady's high heels? GO TIME.

But seriously, magical journal, what the heck is going on?

Uh, and if these things work the way I'm told they are supposed to-- Hello there my fellow lab rats. I guess welcome me to the maze? And, you know, direct me to the cheese and not the sparks.

The name's Dash, by the way. As in dashingly handsome, or dashing to the rescue. You know, I’m good with either.

god I feel like a dork talking to a journal.

yes. he so totally is

And then I said something about psychology experiments and reality television. Don't make me direct quote at you, Mr. "I Lost My First Journal Whoops."

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Oi. So totally not my fault! All I seem to recall is that I was pretty certain for the first five minutes that you were certifiable.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

If I could describe it, I would.

You know, I'll take your word for it and hang onto both my soul and my dignity. I need those.

I guess it makes for a very interesting story, but at the same time it's nothing I would voluntarily do again.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

...only the first five minutes?

[speeding]

Yeah, I forgive you. This time.

Joke? Me? What makes you think I'd Want to?

So, nice to meet you Want-the-only-sometimes-really-high-strung.

Ask about war stories from the las great escape. Gotcha.

Oh, I don't know them personally, just reading a journal entry here or there, that's all. I need to start talking with people more!

Well, that's weird. I guess I can understand acting like that, but not everybody.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Well, then I stopped being just pretty certain and started just straight out knowing this was the case.

[speeding]

HEY THAT'S COOL, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THEN.

HEY THERE, BFF? ah well. At least I know I'm not insane? Or alone in my insanity?

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Aha. Valid, entirely valid. As you were.

Hey, where are you? I lost track of you in the shuffle.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Wow, you totally chose an awkward time to plop your way into existence, New Guy Dash.

[speeding]

I'm gonna totally leap to High Strung's defense here.

Alien abduction is totally plausible in my book. Right up there with multidimensional science experiment.

[speeding]

Good to know.

[speeding]

You, I've been getting that vibe just a little. I'm kinda hiding out in the way beyond of the shoes to keep out of people's hair.

That makes you Mysterious Guy/Gal Number 5?

[speeding]

That bad? Goody.

Yeah, sounds like a good plan.

Well I guess you've been there, you'd know what constitutes exciting versus not.

Still sounds like a trip to me.

[speeding]

Huh. Okay, I guess that makes more sense. You seem friendly enough--too busy wrangling dinos for socializing?

Yeah, well, that's why Stepford is so freaky and scary, right? It's wrong.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Ah, and a challenger appears.

Are you going to be upsetting the pre-established balance of power here, dude? Cause the last thing we need right now is Want getting encouragement with his random bouts of Want-ness.

[speeding]

I don't even know your name yet Number 5! are you alive?

Whoa... Anyway.

Upsetting the balance of power? Yeah, I could totally swing that. Shaking things up sounds like a good time to me. Encouragement of Want-ness is go, I think.

What ya gonna do about it?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

[ ooc :: circles the word "Guy" in the above post ]

The name's Throne. And based on the way you talk, I'm going to go out on a limb and say preemptively please keep the toilet jokes to a none.

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Something like that! I like to go off and do stuff around the tree. Plus I'm still way more used to actually talking to people. The journals are kinda funny like that, we get to know everybody without even seeing them.

Good thing this place is no Stepford. If people are unhappy, they seem to let people know.

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the club. Which is basically you and everyone else in the 'sphere. Have fun with that.

Yeah, it was something to do with giant freaking ants? Pre-dates me, as far as I know.

[speeding]

Throne.

Got it.




What, not even one? Stingy.

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[speeding]

Hey cool, I'm one of the in crowd now.

Giant fire ants? Was this before or after the dinosaurs?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

okay, well if Dub gave you one pot shot I suppose I could be generous and give you one on account.

DO YOUR WORST.
