*his patience having finally run short, Forti somehow manages to talk his way into Polonius's office. we suspect charming grins were involved. aimed at Polonius now is a not-so-charming grin* Hi.

*when Osric decided that he would be moving to Illyria, he'd considered the logistical aspects--giving his notice, the long drive, the endless packing, the difficulty negotiating ferries and border crossings. but as he sits in the coffee shop, watching steam rise from a cinnamon double soy cappuccino, it occurs to him that he hadn't considered ( Read more... )

*so, how about that laser tag? :D Ros is in front of the laser tag place, presumably with Guildenstern in tow, waiting eagerly for everyone else to arrive. and we do mean everyone else except for the grown-ups, of course*

Typist: Dunno if this is a good time for the rest of you, but I figured I'd better post before I forgot again. ;)

*outside the university--a man with a flight jacket and messenger bag slung loosely over one shoulder, walking towards the park. it's a nice day, so when he gets there he sits on a bench, shrugs off the jacket and takes out his reading for class, today Emerson's Compensation. he tucks up his knees and balances the book awkwardly as he takes scrawly ( Read more... )

*his furlough has just started, and it's a good thing, too; Francisco hates cold almost as much as he hates being stationed in northern Russia, and he's looking forward to home service when the furlough ends. today, though, he's wandering Elsinore, getting acquainted with the city--ostensibly looking for his brother, but actually sightseeing, and ( Read more... )

The midterm for her botany class includes having to collect a ridiculously long list of various local flowers and such for some sort of journal, so Ophelia's out in the park trying find them all. Sylvia's with her, mostly napping in the sunshine on top of Ophelia's messenger bag. Before she headed out of the house, she shot an e-mail off the ( Read more... )
