we have lift-off!

Volunteers?

[smarterthnme]

Yes! No manual labor required, just stand around, look pretty and happy and like you're in a nice summer camp without zombies but with pony rides, boating on the lake, and the only possible death is from inhaling too much paint fumes!

[wood4_quidditch]

I think that most people here do that on a regular basis. No volunteers really required, right?

[smarterthnme]

Well pretty I can see. You guys are still able to work that whole too-gorgeous-to-be-believed look even amidst that stench, the screaming and I think there's something in the lake. So kudos. But happy? I've never really thought of zombies and mutated wildlife to being conducive to happiness.

[wood4_quidditch]

They're easy enough to take care of with a few well-placed incendio curses, and they're good for practice.

[smarterthnme]

For those of us not equipped with wizarding powers, a wand and a very fast broom, things are a little trickier. Did I say tricky? I meant gory and life-threatening.

[wood4_quidditch]

Oh, you know about wizards then?

Perhaps if you can run fast...it shouldn't be a problem? And it would be a good way to workout as well.

[smarterthnme]

Uh yeah. Listen, has anyone here mentioned anything about possibly reading about you wizards in a book? They probably have but I just don't know anymore. Forget Kansas, I'm so nowhere even near Oz anymore.

I do have the advantage in that I run and not lurch with random bits of me falling off but, and color me a hopeless city girl here, I like my workout runs to not be away from things. Ah well, hey it's a better way of looking at it.

...

...beg pardon?

Yes, every silver lining has a cloud and all that.

[smarterthnme]

Sorry my inner monologue can get away from me. Yes, I know about wizards. In fact I've read about you. In books. A book series in fact. Has anyone else mentioned that? If they have have they mentioned reading about you, specifically you as opposed to general---

*thinks twice about inflicting fictional character revelation-migraine on hapless person, hurriedly moves along to more cheery topics. Like death and zombies.* And in the case of this place, they're probably big, heavy, threatening stormclouds too.
