[ monday -- late afternoon, after school and the brigade meeting -- sees anne shirley in the village centre. near the fountain but not quite so close as to look straight into the water. she faces away from the fountain and seems to be throwing things over her shoulder...waiting to here that tell-tale splash of success

my god lj didn't want this posted

[vermified]

[Oh dear, it's... her. Haven't really talked to her since then.

...maybe she won't remember him.]

If coins can't be found, they could be made, you know.

lj how dare you.

[slatebreaker]

[ w-well. she would just have to behave as lady-like as possible. ]

To have a wishing coin made to order? That does sound like a fine idea.

I know right

[vermified]

[At least they didn't get into anything ridiculous?]

I'm sure the construction of simple coins would be a simple task for the smithy. I've made far more elaborate commissions. Perhaps you could create a design for them?

[slatebreaker]

[ thank goodness for victorian sensibilities and other-worldly gentlemanliness. ]

I -- oh, Edward -- it's a very sweet offer. Too sweet of an offer for me to accept. [ ALTHOUGH SHE WANTS TO but marilla would be so disappointed in her indulging such a flight of fancy. her very own coins. ]

I'm guessing throwing salt over your shoulder won't be quite the same.

[slatebreaker]

That would be for good luck, yes? Though I do wonder if you can wish on it, as well.

[ a beat, then: ] Hello, Doctor.

[sittingtype]

All I know is that it's meant to keep the devil at bay. [ his granny was completely nuts, what can he say. ]

How are you doing, Anne?

[slatebreaker]

Marilla would say that the devil lives in superstitions like that. That a Christian soul is much better off leaving the salt to the chef and praying instead.

[ she feels no ill towards john. how could she? he was a lovely adoptive father to her. ] I'm doing well enough -- thank you for asking. Have you been well?

AS I ADD MORE TAGS TO MY PILE this is more before I forget

[godbent]

Canada has a tradition like that?

=D

[slatebreaker]

Of course. I once visited a grand old fountain in Charlottetown and wished for a handsome stranger to sweep me off my feet. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will. Some day.

[godbent]

Huh. You know, Luceti really needs a shrine...

[slatebreaker]

To an unknown knight!

[ CLEARLY THIS IS THE BEST IDEA. ] And his lover, who must've pined for years.
