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.

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.

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]

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

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

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Is it really an in crowd if it's made up of everyone who isn't me? That's a pretty big in.

Before. Waaaay before. Dinosaurs were, like, earlier this week.

[speeding]

Majority rules? Can't beat 'em join 'em?

Not sure if I'm disappointed I missed dinosaurs or not. But I'm definitely going to ask about the fire ants.

... So who's an old timer?




How long have you been here?

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

You know for some of us, dinosaurs are still happening.

[speeding]

Yeah I heard from Arr---

Are you the lady with the dino pet? Because if you are, you are totally my hero.

If you aren't, no hard feelings?

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

Girl.

I'm the girl with the dinosaur. And it's not so much a pet as it is a companion? Pet sounds so demeaning. She's smarter than that.

Though, who am I to turn down hero-status? Does this mean epic poetry shall be written in my honor? If so, you'd better get cracking.

[speeding]

Girl. Gotacha. Ran, right?

How about just general admiration and slight jealousy over the fact that you get a dinosaur?

Not sure I'm exactly the epic poetry kind of guy, sorry.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

Yup, Ran, that's me. I guess I should toss my name into the pile along with the Sugardaddy and Wonder Boy and say, if you've got a bad pun crouched deep inside you, then get it over with now. Or my dinosaur will own you. Though...

Ran and Dash. All we need is a Hop, Skip and a Jump and I think we'll have our bases covered. Think you could manage trying to wrangle them up?

I'll overlook the lack of epic poetry if you promise to make large eyes and give me an "oooh" of quiet reverence the first time we meet. Deal?

[speeding]

Sugardaddy? Wonder Boy? Which is which?

Not going to run from this are you, Ran?

Okay, yeah it's out of my system. Probably. Prospect of dinosaur is helping.

Hey, guy a little above us said he was Jump I think. So we just need Hop and Skip and we've got a band. Or team. Something, anyway. Though honestly I have no idea what the guy was writing/on so he may have to be the drummer.

Ran, this is so totally a deal. I will "oooh" of quiet reverence, completely with large, devoted eyes, all for you.

Promise.

These are both crappy principles to live by.

Old timers, huh? Lemme see.

[circles appear around one of Throne's comment -- with the label "OLD" -- and one of Drake's -- with the label "ANCIENT"]

Either of them would work.

I've been here... three months? Give or take a few days? Wow. It feels a lot longer.

[speeding]

Yeah well, I didn't say they were great.

Okay, thanks.

This is that kind of place huh? Goody.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

No way.

Three months?



I am way too easy.
