Tony's been... well, bored. And being bored is a bad thing when the young man in question has a penchant for trouble, a little more curiosity than was healthy, and access to magic ( Read more... )

When he's by the fire, there's suddenly a large orange and cream cat at his side, nuzzling his leg.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 00:59:59 UTC

Jumping, Tony looked down then smiled. "Oh, hey there Altra."

vkandispwnsme February 10 2010, 01:02:07 UTC

You look unnecessarily busy. He sits.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 01:03:35 UTC

"Oh. I'm not anymore. Just messing around with a game. I got a bit bored."

Even later, when Altra is a sleeping pile of fur somewhere, a woman, dressed simply but old-fashionedly, enters into the room. She's walking with her head down, seemingly thinking. But when she notices Tony, she startles and pales. "Forgive me, monsieur! I didn't see you there."

notgandalf February 10 2010, 01:10:53 UTC

Tony's a bit startled too. He was rather focused, and he looks up with a bit of a grin. "Oh, that's okay. It's not like it's my place or anything."

cleverest_woman February 10 2010, 01:13:12 UTC

"No, but you would be in your rights to think that I was creeping up on you with ill intent. Ladies should not skulk about." She has a French accent, but she doesn't seems shy at all. Just a bit startled.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 01:20:48 UTC

"I'd like to think that if you were creeping up on me, you would at least have a good reason."

There's company nearby - a man in his late twenties, dressed in a weathered tweed jacket and pouring over a large tome. It's probably obvious that he's studying it - he's regularly pausing, making notes, shuffling towards another book on the couch, then back to his notes again.

Paul, our resident history PhD student probably needs a break.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 01:45:05 UTC

Eventually,Tony will look up. "You might have better luck of you got it all together and sat down man."

only_paul February 10 2010, 04:09:29 UTC

Paul pauses. "Oh --- sorry. Was I disturbing you?"

notgandalf February 10 2010, 04:16:38 UTC

"No, not at all. You just looked kind of uncomfortable."

Belize is interested in your laptop, Tony. Very interested. Belize's boyfriend would die for a chance to have better technology to play with.

And so Belize is hovering about, considering an approach for information.

"Hey there," he'll offer, friendly and open. Belize is nothing if not your regular New York nurse. His proclivities are also anything but invisible.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 01:46:52 UTC

It's a shame that the laptop shows nothing but solitaire to anyone non-magically inclined.

"Hey," he offers back, smiling. His own preferences aren't immediately obvious, but to anyone with a bit of gaydar, he's certainly not hiding it. "What's up?"

belize_queen February 10 2010, 01:59:59 UTC

It really is - poor Simeon! That won't stop Belize from being curious, though.

Belize offers a grin. "Couldn't help but notice this spiffy thing you got. It's a computer, right?"

Being from the mid-eighties, Belize actually isn't all that computer savvy - at least, not unless they're first-generation Macs.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 02:03:57 UTC

Tony grins back and nods. "Yeah, more or less. I take it there aren't a lot of them around here?"

There's a young Shuswap woman looking from the hearth were she is warming up. She'd noticed the snow-ball action during her walk and recognized Tony when she settled back inside. She's very curious of whatever the young man is doing.

She's also fairly shy and generally being discreet about her observation, but maybe Tony will notice.

I keep on saying I don't have any Canadian puppets. LIES LIES LIES. She's even from BC!

notgandalf February 10 2010, 02:15:14 UTC

Tony does notice, when he gets annoyed with not being able to move a queen, and looks up. He smiles in a friendly way at her and nods something of a greeting.

(Yay for other Canadaian puppets!)

kamloops_rose February 10 2010, 02:25:29 UTC

She waves, a little shyly. It's strange - this is the girl who rode on Iskierka's back, and yet here she is, not really sure how to approach the strange young man with the flying snow balls.

"--- Good day," she ventures.

notgandalf February 10 2010, 02:45:10 UTC

"Hey there." He hadn't seen her outside -too busy trying to not get pummelled by the rampaging spell-, but she seems friendly and Tony's willing to meet new people here.

"I'm Tony."
