She danced...
...and then she didn't.

[ooc; has no idea this epitaph is out there. there are risks to the types of dancing Mae does.]

something vaguely action-shaped ][

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Hey.

i don't know how vague action looks like ][

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[she's reading something in her room, ignoring the gut feeling that Something Is Up. she looks up. looking dashing there, mr. Ryves.]

Hello, Alan.

[she sits up straight and smiles.] To what do I owe the pleasure?

use your ~*action imagination*~ ][

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

They've just cleared this area again. I was thinking of indulging a healthy lifestyle and going to stock up on coffee.

can't it be clear action instead ][

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[she marks the page and leaves it on the pillow of her bed, hopping down.]

We could use some food. Maybe canned - that lasts long, right? [and you can just. heat it up. right? haha, cooking.]

Need company?

now where would the fun in that action be? ][

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Always.



And a lot of things last even longer. Egyptian burial jars, for example.

One doesn't often meet dancers nowadays.

REPLIED IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING ACTIONED AROUND HRR

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Pardon?

IT'S MY JOB TO BE THE WEIRD ONE

[reed4context.livejournal.com]

Your posting, miss. You're a dancer?

1/2 you actionbreaker you

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

My posting? I didn't post...

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[CHECKS.]


...who wrote this.

[reed4context.livejournal.com]

Oh! My apologies. The City's curses are sometimes known to hijack devices.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

What a tasteless joke.

guess who jumped on the action bandwagon;

[enterpainment]

[Yes, Jamie saw that epitaph. And now Mae is going to get her regular dose of concerned younger brother who tries his best not to look concerned at all.]

Hi, Mae. [He's about to say something along the lines of how weird and depressing the curse today is, but then he remembers that little thing called tact. And backtracks accordingly.] Er, have you seen my... toothbrush?

[... he makes a mental note to work on his backtracking.]

let's roll the bandwagon.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[Subtle. Jamie is a subtle ninja. So very subtle. Mae blinks - what is with the visits from the boys today? Not that she's complaining, but they could bring snacks.]

Your...toothbrush? I don't keep track of its location with that much interest.

so this isn't a late response or anything. :c

[enterpainment]

[Jamie is the subtlest of all ninjas. True fact. And next time he will remember to bring snacks, when he is not busy thinking up lame excuses.]

Oh... right. Suppose I'd better keep looking, then. At some point. [Which basically means: you are not rid of him yet, Mae! And it is also another stunning display of his ability to be subtle.] What are you up to?

neither is this. and lj isn't bad

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her head, her mouth quirking up with amusement, and rests back against the bed again. Two - that's two people who've tried to distract her attention from the grim post that someone has innevitably drawn her attention to. Poor Jamie, he's trying so hard that Mae wants to squeeze him tight.]

I was currently staring off into space and considering if I want ice-cream for dinner or if sweets that late would be a bad health option. What do you reckon?

... I can't even pretend lj doesn't suck B|

[enterpainment]

[He's done his best! Unfortunately Jamie has failed to realise that, since the post is very public, it's very open for other people to point out. Oh well, one day he'll learn.]

Ice-cream isn't a bad health option. They give it to you in hospital, don't they? [... when you get your tonsils out, but ssssh.] And you'd think that hospitals know best in that department. I think it's a marvellous idea.

[A thoughtful pause.] As long as there's mint choc chip.

har harrr

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Yes, but only when you take out your tonsils, I heard. [shhh what shhh.] It's probably a better way to drag a kid there for the whole deal, instead of shoving ice-cubes down their necks. I think.

Although I will always sin for mint choc chip.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Dancer? [It makes him perk up]

oh gkjsh hi dean the stripper is in another castle

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[right after checking her own device. spirits are high.]

Not a vocation.

He had such hopes too.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. [High spirits are good even if it isn't a vocation] You just like doing it?

he's right on time for the Older Siblings Who Do Everything For Their Bros reunion though

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I...do, actually. Although I don't do the dance this epitaph's probably talking about as often as it'd be necessary for me to die from it.

[Pause.] Why, do you like dancers?

Re: he's right on time for the Older Siblings Who Do Everything For Their Bros reunion though

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Now he's confused] What sort of dancing do you die from?

[Ready to lie in 1, 2, 3...]

Hell if I know. They're graceful.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Another sort.

[pinocchio wants his nose back.] They are graceful, yes. Though it depends - people dancing at parties tend to generally just turn into a big mass of sweaty, moving bodies. Not much grace there.

[the dancing she's been witnessing, the one at the Market - now that's graceful.]
