004 Hope Estheim - [Action]

[noras_boy]

[Hope is having a good time keeping up with all his book heavy classes. And by that? I mean he's sitting with a take-out cup of tea at a table in the cafeteria two sets of books infront of him. His pad is lying open with his pen alternating between his right hand and his mouth and the page of course

['Sup, Hope. Here's your Lightning walking towards you, though she shakes her head upon seeing the ink on his forehead, and she doubles back to the counter for a water bottle and some napkins before coming over to his table.]

I don't think you want your notes on your forehead, Hope.

[noras_boy]

[Hope looks confusedly up at you.]

Wha?

[A gloved hand goes to his forehead. ... Ink. Fantastic.]

Great. That's... embarrassing...

[nvrstrikestwice]

[Lightning doesn't say anything to that, and instead cracks open the water bottle in order to get a napkin wet before handing it to Hope.]

Here. You can still get it off before it dries out.

[noras_boy]

I hope so.

[He takes the napkin and starts to wipe at the ink on his forehead. It fades... but if you're close enough? You can still see it.]

How do I look?

[easilytriggered]

You got your notes on your forehead.

[There's a guy at the next table, and he's pointing a finger at Hope. He looks rather amused.]

[noras_boy]

Huh-wa?

[Stay coherent Hope! He lifts his hand and pokes his forehead and looks at the sticky bluish black residue on his glove. He then sighs.]

Great. Thanks for telling me.

[He sighs and goes to get some napkins.]

[easilytriggered]

[When Hope comes back, Zephyr's still looking at him with a grin on his face.]

Maybe you should, uh, lighten your load a bit?

[noras_boy]

I would... but it's all so interesting. I'm definitely not taking as many classes next term.

[Hope sighs and starts to rub at his head with a damp napkin.]

It's interesting stuff, helps me know about this world.

[alwaysanarcher]

That's one way to remember your notes, huh? [She giggles, stopping just before him as she gestures towards his table.] I guess if it works for you, it works.

... Would you mind if I sat here?

[noras_boy]

Hi Cissie!

[Then the first half of her greeting registers.]

Wha-- [Hand wipe on forehead.] Oh...

[Hope sighs and shakes his head.]

Feel free. I'll go get a napkin.

[alwaysanarcher]

No need, I've got some right here. [she waves them in front of his face as she takes a seat next to him. Aww, and she thought the notes on the forehead was kind of cute! She giggles as she hands the napkins over.]

What class was it for, anyways?

[noras_boy]

Sociology. [He gestures to one book]

Or Physics and Biology. Take your pick really. [He nods and accepts the napkin, wiping at the smudges on his forehead.]

[fierybluebird]

[Tilts his head and tries to read the upside down words... out loud. Basically it's all gibberish.]

[noras_boy]

[.... What are you doing Marco? Hope looks up from his note taking and gives you an odd look.]

[fierybluebird]

What's with the ink on your head, eh? New fashion statement of the sleep deprived?

[noras_boy]

Ink on my...?

[Poke at own forehead. He looks down at his finger which now has a purplish black goo on it. He looks at it for a minute before going to get a napkin.]

Great. Well. That's a little embarrassing.
