first leap of faith ~ action

[While walking around campus today, you may come across one particularly handsome and well dressed...

...puppet.

It will just be sitting there. Chilling. Should you look away and back, however, it will suddenly be gone... only to be found sitting somewhere else nearby.

There's no one else around, is there?

Those with a quick eye may catch sight of a dark blur as the puppet moves. If you stick around long enough, the owner might even speak with you. Right now he's just testing the waters.]

I'll be honest, I wasn't really sure either.

That might be a good idea, actually....

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

We're covered for the shit on campus, right?

[He glances back toward the line.]

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Following his gaze.] Do we want to stand in line?

There's a lot to cover....

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

No, I mean like... money-wise. Cause I don't got any.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[...] I'm not actually sure.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Did it say something about that in the note?

...Should have read that shit better.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

I admit, I didn't read it as carefully as I should have. I just started exploring....

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Well hold up, let me see.

[He opens up his sylladex and takes out the letter, looking it over.]

It says room and board. Board includes food, right?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Give her a minute to be sort of transfixed by what he just did, then she nods.] It sounds like it.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Wanna hop in line and make them feed us, then?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Her stomach grumbles out an answer.]

... That might be for the best.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.]

Aight. Let's see what slop they're dishin' out.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Hopefully there will be something good. [She shrugs a bit, smiling somewhat sympathetically.] I didn't realize how hungry I was.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Sneaks up on you sometimes.

[He starts heading toward the line, assuming she'll follow along.]

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

After a busy day? ['And night,' but she doesn't add this part. And she will follow behind him.]

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Yep.

And you should never ignore the angry cries of an empty stomach, sis.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

At least there's a pretty surefire way of getting that to stop, right?

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Yep.

...I could probably dash up and grab us shit before they knew any better, but I might as well play it fair.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Do you do that a lot? ... or is that a question I shouldn't ask?

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

I do it when I feel like it. You know, at the most ironic moments.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing you have a good sense of when that is.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Irony is my middle name.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

I never would have guessed. [She laughs softly.]
