[anyone wandering around Montmartre around, oh, let's say TEN PM - will find a teen chilling bundled up with a boombox. no Leonard Cohen this week - instead you get something ridiculously catchy and French bopping out of the speakers

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]

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

[eat_me_beat_me]

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]

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...

[courageous_wit]

I'll be sure to come by after work. I'm an intern at one of the museums! [is super-excited about this]

[hard_talker]

Are you? That's totally badass! I'm a DJ at a club here on Montmartre, but I don't start until eleven, so I've got time to kill. ... What museum is it? I can stop by tomorrow and check it out.

[courageous_wit]

We're in Musee de L'Homme.

[hard_talker]

Which one's that? I don't think I've ever heard of it...

[Great food.
Badass music.

yep totally knows where he's going like right now]

Hehe~! If I knew where it was I'd be there already!

Where is it, where is it!?

[hard_talker]

Hey, Ryuutaros! If you can get on the Metro, take ... [there's the rustle of a map] ... line 2 to a station called Anvers. It's at the base of a bigass hill, and you'll see signs for Place du Tertre. That's where we are. The cafe's called Deux Moulins - you'll see us right outside.

[fatedtobehated]

Eh? Haha, I have absolutely no idea what all of that is...oh well! See you maybe??

[Any other attempts at contacting the guy will go unnoticed. Luckily he has two people currently guiding him around who know what they're doing in his head so not crazy, so after some time he'll eventually show up.

He has this completely fascinated look on his face, kind've thing you'd expect a five year old to have once they first get to jump into the ballpit.]

Ahhhh~! This is AWESOME! Hehe!

[Just sort've looking around with the occasional spin or little hop thrown in in time with the music; would you believe he's completely forgotten about you being the one who invited him here already Mark?]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Nora laughs watching the guy dance around. Seriously. The reactions people have is kinda the best part of all of this]

[yamanaka]

[she's totally passing by on her way back to her apartment! she's dressed up pretty nicely -- in a fancy coat, with her hair all done up :) she'll just wave to him]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Nora waves back with a grin]

Whoa, Ino, I love your coat!

[hard_talker]

Yeah, seriously! You look like a fuckin' movie star. [Mark grins]

[yamanaka]

Thanks, guys. [she'll smile, making her way over there] I'm modeling, actually.

[Hello, weekly voice of reason. Dairine's voice is muffled from lying face first on her pillow.]

What kind of retarded place gives homework right before the holidays?

[hard_talker]

The kind of place you don't have to listen to, that's what! Chuck it in a fireplace somewhere, nuke it in the microwave, feed it to your dog! Who the fuck cares?!

[syntax_error24]

Or use the back of the paper for sketches. [Yup, that's what Dairine did. Wizards aren't supposed to waste things. (And secretly she wanted to do the worksheets later for fun. Because math problems are fun.)

Dairine looks up and grins.] So I take it that you're one of the multitudes not attending whatever school we’ve been dumped into.

[hard_talker]

You draw, too? You'll hafta show me sometime, I love seeing other people's art.

And yeah, fuck school, there's too much I'd rather learn from seeing all of this firsthand!
