"... Hey, Eliza? Are you on drugs...?"
My response. "No, but it usually seems that way, doesn't it?"
Met a cute geek down at Merlin's today. Seemed really into story-games... we traded email addresses and headed our separate ways. I should go to Merlin's more often. I can meet some interesting people there every now and then.

Paige Soarin
'Lynx'
Wife of Matthew Soarin. Mother of William and Cherry.
Shopping savvy, good at driving a very hard bargain, and she's got one hell of a poker face. Secretly smokes cigars, but only when she's sneaking into the men's game nights, and she mostly does it for the shock value.
Paige smiled and leaned close to Merrily. "You're going to let me cut your hair and pick out some new clothes, because you have a very handsome young man paying attention to you. No, it's not shallow. Yes, I'm sure he'll enjoy your company just the same. And when Matthew claims that he stole me away all those years ago... well. He might be the 'mighty hunter', but darling, I was rustling those bushes."
"'Rustlin' those bushes'?" Merrily repeated.
"Well... I had a wishy-washy fiancee at the time... when he called off the wedding for the second time, I couldn't help but notice how handsome the afternoon bartender was... that was Matthew, of course. Any way you want to look at it. Matthew claims he stole me out from under Mr. Ralph Hedger's nose. Who am I to argue?"
