Truer words were never spoken.

[Nora leans over, resting her chin on Mark's shoulder for a moment with a grin]

I still can't believe it. We're in fucking Paris! [She laughs, grinning from ear to ear]

hard_talker December 20 2011, 03:03:59 UTC

And we didn't even have to do any lameass fundraisers! [he beams back] You get any customers, today?

eat_me_beat_me December 20 2011, 03:10:22 UTC

No fundraisers and no long-ass plane ride.

[She nudges the hat with her toe, a few coins jingling inside] A couple. I've been working on something else, in between, though.

[She flips her sketchbook over and shows him the back page, She'd started sketching the view from her seat. It was rough lines, right now, but the details were filling in little by little.]

hard_talker December 20 2011, 03:18:47 UTC

Oh, sweet! [he beams, pointing to one part of the skyline] I think that's where I'm staying. Right there. At least, that general area...

eat_me_beat_me December 20 2011, 03:20:07 UTC

Yeah? [She looks.] What kinda place did you get stuck in?

hard_talker December 20 2011, 03:21:51 UTC

Nnngh.

[he rubs at the back of his neck and looks around, extremely sheepish] Well, it's ...

eat_me_beat_me December 20 2011, 03:23:37 UTC

[Eyebrow]

Iiiiiit's.... It's what? A ditch? A hotel? Some boarding house? What?

hard_talker December 20 2011, 03:25:50 UTC

[watch him just hunch and burrow on into that big warm coat of his and mumble into his scarf]

It's a mansion.

eat_me_beat_me December 20 2011, 03:29:41 UTC

[...............]

[Deadpan. Dis face, man. She's just kinda staring at Mark. He can't be serious, right?]

I'm in a hotel room with five other people. And you get a fucking mansion...

hard_talker December 20 2011, 03:31:44 UTC

[OSHIT HE WAS AFRAID OF THIS. instantly his hands go up]

Hey, it's not like I picked the place!!

eat_me_beat_me December 20 2011, 03:34:42 UTC

[She rolls her eyes] I know that. You think I would've asked to wake up on a couch in a room fulla strangers?

I was just thinking how weird it is. I mean... there's no rhyme or reason for some of this shit, is there?

hard_talker December 20 2011, 15:30:32 UTC

[OH THANK GOD she's not going to punch him in the arm. he manages to not sigh in relief]

Not a bit. ... are you at least stuck with some neat people? I've got the kid that tried to set fire to the hall.

eat_me_beat_me December 21 2011, 19:25:35 UTC

[Hey, man, she's been there long enough to know to call castle bullshit.]

I don't really know any of 'em... there are a couple kids. Coraline seems pretty cool, at least.

[a pause] The fucking pyro? You should bring home a fire extinguisher just in case. [she chuckles]

hard_talker December 21 2011, 21:31:23 UTC

Huh. Yeah, that ain't a bad idea. Even if he can't do his magic bendy thing, who knows if he'll discover the wonders of the portable butane torch.... heh heh.

eat_me_beat_me December 21 2011, 22:55:07 UTC

The rich dude comes back to find his mansion burned to the ground.

"uh... Oops?" [she cracks up]

oh god I could SEE that. /applauds hard_talker December 22 2011, 06:47:08 UTC

[he does, too]

"Hey, old man, think of it this way - you'll save on your heating bill?"
