Hey, I'm still here.

explorationist July 21 2011, 02:09:53 UTC

[Ahhh, you weren't supposed to hear that. 8l Sigh] Yeah, you are. It's just... who else is, you know?

billiardsplz July 21 2011, 02:16:34 UTC

A lot of folks are. You just gotta meet them.

explorationist July 21 2011, 03:41:00 UTC

That's not as easy as you think it is.

[one very astute ghostbuster overhears that, and decides the best remedy is to pretend that he didn't.

a little while later, there's a knock on Coraline's door. when she opens it, she'll find Ray standing there with a huge spool of thread, like the kind used for kites, and a picnic basket over one arm]

Hey.

explorationist July 21 2011, 05:12:19 UTC

[She very nearly FREAKS THE HECK OUT BECAUSE THAT IS A SPOOL OF THREAD AND IT IS--

oh wait, it's just one that goes with a kite. Almost-freak-out over. Raising an eyebrow now]

Uh, hey.

ectobabble July 21 2011, 18:14:25 UTC

[he beams, unphased by the almost-freakout] I was gonna go poke around in the Insolitus ... you wanna come with me? No FLARPing or anything, just good old-fashioned exploring.

[for good measure, he shakes the basket enticingly] I've got sandwiches.

explorationist July 21 2011, 22:19:03 UTC

Oh! [The thought of exploring cheers her up considerably] Yeah, I'd love to! [She'll just step out of her room now, because she's ready and now excited for this]

The string's for not getting lost, I'm guessing?

Still on hiatus, but....bb;; tehoniongirl July 21 2011, 05:09:33 UTC

[oh, Coraline.]

I'm here.

<33 explorationist July 21 2011, 05:13:42 UTC

Yeah, thank god...

tehoniongirl July 21 2011, 15:31:03 UTC

Can I ask where you are, right now?

explorationist July 21 2011, 22:19:47 UTC

In my room. I haven't really felt like getting out much.

[Baaaw. Sympathetic-yet-secretly-kind-of-evil!Meowth in snow. Look, he can't be a jerk to anyone who was nice to him. It's in his contract.]

So all your pals're gone?

explorationist July 21 2011, 06:08:59 UTC

Yeah, pretty much. But I guess that's what happens when you've been here a year. People come and go.

about3seconds July 21 2011, 06:51:58 UTC

Pals're supposed t' stick together, no matter what. [PING. Oh... Crap. Sudden realization] 'Cept this place still ain't showin' no sign of droppin' my pals here. I guess it really is cursed.

explorationist July 21 2011, 07:11:27 UTC

Yeah, it seems to enjoy taking my friends home. It sucks.

[Creeaaak! There just might be a certain black dragon nosing his way into your room, Coraline.]

explorationist July 21 2011, 22:25:12 UTC

[INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALER-- oh wait. She immediately relaxes when she spots Toothless opening her door with... well, with his head, considering he has no thumbs. It's just her dragon buddy! All is well]

O-oh. It's you. Jeez, why is everyone scaring me today?

nocturnalrage July 22 2011, 03:26:49 UTC

[As innocent and clueless as ever, Toothless makes the rest of his way in, door ajar behind him. Someone really should teach him proper manners.

Give him a moment to look around, because he hasn't been in your room before, Coraline! Anything of particular ~interest*~ around?

* = Shiny things are always of interest. Always.]

explorationist July 22 2011, 03:39:15 UTC

[Meh, she'll close it later. And teaching dragons manners is not on her to-do list. 8l Can't you see she was having a depressing moment?

There isn't much of anything shiny in her room, just a little kitten sleeping on her pillow. But that key is kinda shiny, especially when she keeps twirling it around in her fingers]

Do you do this to everyone's room?
