[BBS] In which Artemis is grumpy like normal

[crockshot]

Three weeks with nothing to do? Fan-flipping-tastic. Who's bright idea was this?

[All that empty time, poor girl isn't going to know what to do with herself.]

You're underestimating Dollet. There's a lot to do here.

[crockshot]

Yeah? Like what. At least when class is in session I have something to do.

[Too many hours in the day, not enough things to do to fill them.]

[gunbladegrrl]

It's a resort town, for one, and we're here right at the beginning of the season. If you're interested in history, you can see the places where the Commander and his team defended the town during the Siege of Dollet, as well the world's most powerful communication tower. It also has a pretty strong nightlife.

[crockshot]

I don't need a vacation I need action.

[It's hard being a hero sometimes, since you can't really come out and say you're a hero. At least, she has no intention of doing so, like hell is she going to just offer up her skill set for exploitation like that.]

If you say so. I'm not really a vacation type.

[gunbladegrrl]

You could go visit the Tomb of the Unknown King. That's not incredibly far from here and probably offers some more action. (Probably need permission though.)

[crockshot]

Now that sounds more like it. Thanks for the idea. (Pretty sure I've got that covered.)

[And by that she means "I'll just go pester Tom until he lets me go".]

[alwaysanarcher]

Come light the lanterns with me and Rapunzel! We're gonna grab permission beforehand, of course, but it should be a lot of fun :)

- Cissie

[crockshot]

Light lanterns? What's that about?

[How much would Cissie laugh if Artemis confessed that the first thing she thought about was Green Lanterns?]

[alwaysanarcher]

Back in Rapunzel's world, they'd light all of these paper lanterns and send them into the sky every year on her birthday.

She's never seen them before, so I promised I'd help her out. If we do it right, it's supposed to look really pretty.

[... enough that it's a good thing Artemis didn't actually say so out loud. Though, Cissie'll admit that she misses having a Green Lantern around. They're kind of convenient.]

[crockshot]

Really? Guess it could be alright, and it's not like I've got anything better to do.

[And that's why she didn't say anything about it, even she knew it sounded dumb.]


[PM]
Sounds like there's this Tomb not too far from here that might be worth checking out. You want to come? I'd ask Damian to come too, but he's going to be busy.

[alwaysanarcher]

Excellent! I'll tell Punz right away!! :D

[PM]
The Tomb of the Unknown King, right? Sounds like fun... but we'd probably need an Instructor's permission first.

Damian? I didn't know you were friends with him. :o Or them? I know there's two of them, but I don't really talk to them beyond that.

[crockshot]

[PM]

Just leave that part to me, got it all taken care of already. [Poor Tom won't stand a chance, Artemis is on a mission.]

Yeah. The cool one. He's kinda talked me into helping out with the Disciplinary Committee while he's gone. Figured it couldn't hurt and it'd be nice to have something to do.

[Break is that time she figured Wally would have been dragging her everywhere, but since he's not here that leaves her a lot of free time. Stupid speedster.]

[alwaysanarcher]

Oh, awesome. :) [Poor Tom, Cissie hardly knew ye...]

If I were still heroing, I'd probably join the Committee too. It seems like the kind of thing my world's Young Justice would've been super-interested in.

[crockshot]

Guess as a still active hero, I'm in the right committee then, huh. As active as a hero can be in this place anyway.

[alwaysanarcher]

Definitely! Even Bart was on the Committee... and I'm pretty sure he wasn't exactly the ideal disciplinarian. B)

It's probably better if the Damians aren't running the show all the time anyhow.

[crockshot]

He was on the committee? Almost seems like there should be a joke in that somewhere.

[alwaysanarcher]

Probably. Point is, the Committee can be whatever its members want it to be.

[crockshot]

I'd joke about it being the Babysitter's club, but it might as well be.

[alwaysanarcher]

you know, if we didn't have the DiscComm, I would totally start one of those up :(

I collected ALL the books as a kid.

[crockshot]

[....]

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[alwaysanarcher]

As you shouldn't be. ;) those books were my childhood!

Did you ever read them? Stacy was my favorite.

[crockshot]

Never read them. [She had a depraved childhood, okay?]

[alwaysanarcher]

Oh. :(

I'll send you one of the books over the break. You can read it while you're on the beach!!

[crockshot]

You have them here?

[alwaysanarcher]

Not ALL of them, but I was re-reading a couple when I got compressed in again.

[crockshot]

... I guess I could try one.

[alwaysanarcher]

YAY! ♥

I'll bring it when we go tour the Tomb. :D

[crockshot]

Sure, if you want to. [She's honestly hoping for adventure and monsters personally.]

.............. i forgot they were roommates

[alwaysanarcher]

okay maybe that's pushing it a little :(
i'll put it on your bed later

but they ARE really good books

..................they are?

[crockshot]

That's probably a better idea anyway.

If you say so, Cissie. [Now she's just baiting her, that's mean.]

according to the dorm room chart.... whoops

[alwaysanarcher]

♥

[Truth be told, Cissie's seeing them through rose-colored lens, so don't judge her TOO harshly...]

[fierybluebird]

That is why hobbies are for.

[crockshot]

I'm already hobbied out. How do you think I made it through the quarter?

[fierybluebird]

Given this post? I was thinking workaholic tendencies combined with studying.

[crockshot]

Only sometimes.

[fierybluebird]

And all the other times?

[crockshot]

I don't have a lot of hobbies.

[Simple as that.]

[fierybluebird]

No better time to learn, eh?

[crockshot]

Maybe. [She's not going to hold her breath.]
