Victor's shirt didn't have much of a neckline, but it had enough of one so that how she sat, hunched forward, exposed the way her collarbones jutted out a bit too far. Her fingers were covered in black paint because she was repainting the cover of her book. She put too much trust in the binding, but it was breaking, fraying at the corners and the ( Read more... )

"I was looking into traveling a bit... seeing the world, maybe go to Australia or New Zealand. But now everything's on hold so I can find this emerald thing and stop an evil sorceress from taking over a world I hadn't even heard about 'til today." DG frowns, the mere idea of it still not really agreeing with her. "But anyway... in general? Before this? I never really made plans. Just... went to work, went home, sat on the porch and sketched a bit, maybe worked up in my room. I think I was most comfortable there, at my drafting table."

She scratched at her cheek, thoughtfully, leaving a black smudge. "Yeah, I think not needin' to make plans might be th' apex of human complacency. Which ain't a bad thin' at all. I'd give my...fourth best coffee cup f'r a bit of complacency. Travelin' sounds nice."

"Finals? Yikes. Those are the absolute worst. I remember when I had to deal with those... definitely don't miss them."

"Yeah. These next two weeks're gonna wreck havoc on m' health. Freakin' finals. I'd even give up m' third best coffee cup t' just skip 'em entirely 'thout messin' up my grades." Sadface!

"Just - try to get as much rest as you can. Maybe naps between subjects? That's what I used to do."

"'M mostly takin' English classes, so these finals're, like, all essays. Don't wanna sleep too much an' waste valuable plannin' time, y' know?"

She fiddled with the top to the black paint. "Yeah...five f'r one class, two f'r another plus a hundred an' fifty multiple choice. Then I don't even 'member what I needta study for poli-sci. All in class."

She smeared a bit of black paint onto her finger, rubbed a spot of errant green on the bookcover.
