Color 002 [BBS/Action]

[hispeedchase]

Okay I know I haven't been back for that long, but I'm still vaguely insulted Miss Tattler couldn't actually insult me this go-round. This means I have to try harder, I guess. So anyway, anyone want to do something gossip-worthy? Come on, I'm sure we can come up with something better than Miss Tattler. [He's not seriously suggesting they go out and do anything for gossip, rather come up with "gossip" more outrageous that things Miss Tattler can come up with. Whether or not he actually conveyed that properly is up for debate.]

[As he stripped the color from his hair for the homecoming dance, Chase has opted to give his hair a break from the constant dying so it doesn't fall out or something by the time he's 30. As a result, he's his natural blonde... though he's making up for the natural hair by wearing red contacts. In honor of those red contacts he's also rocking (that's a subjective term) an all-red outfit as he wanders the Garden.

If you catch him in the cafeteria, he's got his triple triad cards strewn about pretty much an entire table as he tries to put together a new deck.

If you catch him in the library, he's in the cheesy romance novel section, trying to find something to read. Careful, if you come close enough he'll ask you for suggestions.

If you catch him hanging around the quad he's laying in the grass, unabashedly reading the cheesy romance novel he got from the library. Yes, it has the most ridiculous cover you've ever seen (why else do you think he picked it?).

If you catch him in the training area, he's without the red contacts, using the innocent Grats for target practice. As he shoots, he has a serious expression that he rarely displays anywhere else.]

[Red? Red's something he can approve of. The rest of it... yeah, maybe not.

Anyway, don't mind this cadet. He might have taken a second or two out of his busy schedule to gawk at that outfit, but he doesn't intend to hang around this section of the library; it's just somewhere he needs to push past in order to reach the books that matter. Literally push, even, since it's pretty crowded in here. Finals week, you know.]

[hispeedchase]

[It's okay, Ed. Yes, it's hideous. Though now that you've pushed him you're going to have to deal with his questions.]

Hey, you with the ponytail. The Tumescent Werewolf, Souls in the Magic, The Eagle of the Lone Lake, or The Birch of the Invisible Lash?

[rewritethis]

[Badly-dressed guy, you are temporarily his favourite person for choosing that particular physical feature to identify him by.

He's a little surprised that someone's talking to him - didn't he look busy enough or something? - but not so surprised that he's going to forget himself and apologise for shoving.] Uh, how about none of them?

[hispeedchase]

[Hey he has enough tact to not call a midget a midget.]

Why not, what's wrong with swollen werewolves?

[rewritethis]

[He glances at a few of the book spines on the shelf next to them - and, well, if he was clearly unimpressed with the man's taste in clothing...]

Yeah, you're right. Nothing that isn't wrong with this entire section.

cheesy romance? WELL I'LL BE!

[ It just so happens that Thumbelina's browsing the romance novels herself. She's already got an arm full of Classic Mushy Shakespeare Plays (the complete tome) and some Petrarchan sonnets. She's dressed for a casual day before attending Study Hall.

She's poking at a tome of Edgar Allen Poe when she spots Chase through the open back of the shelf. She comes around the side and peeks at him.

She makes a friendly wave. ]

Mr. Kelly?

they're the best

[hispeedchase]

Yo! Hey quick--Fairy in the Lady, The Manfully Hairy Heart, or The Lusty Ranger?

omg Fairy in the Lady /collapses

[thumbsize]

Uhm.

[ how does a fairy get into a lady? it sounds the most interesting so she chooses that one. ]

The first...one?

I love random generators

[hispeedchase]

[Uuuh you seem uncomfortable. Maybe you were the wrong person to ask.] You okay?

BBS

[earthlychild]

Be patient, you'll have your turn! And they might just ignore being baited like this.

BBS

[hispeedchase]

I'm just... she was nice to me! Nice! I didn't come back from Galbadia to be told that I can dress people. Where are my breast implants? How else am I going to learn I became a crazy cat lady?? [Chase enjoys Miss Tattler far more than he probably should.]

[earthlychild]

Visiting Esthar would be a good start for that, wouldn't it?

But if you really want to make the headlines, stand out! They like to notice people who are involved. Why don't you try helping your friends?

[hispeedchase]

Didn't know Esthar was famous for their cats.

Uh, you have seen me before, right? People wish they couldn't see me. And I brought them back gifts, does that count?

[Of course, Grell has to be in the cheesy romance novel section, too, and sees him browsing in a certain section.]

Don't even bother with THAT author! They're as dull as wet paint!

[ACTION]

[hispeedchase]

[With that, Chase pouts and puts the book back.] Boo, you'd think The Greek Legal Consultant's Willing Slave-Girl would be a good one, too.

[redcinemareel]

First, that title is far too revealing! You've already been given the story right there! Second, that cover is atrocious! Third, choose a title with a bit of mystery~ to it!

[hispeedchase]

But the crappy names and titles are the best part! [But he resumes looking.] Fine, how about Delicious Enigma?

[gunbladegrrl]

[Now Maria doesn't normally stop and stare at the covers of books people are reading as they lie about in the quad.]

[But today is an exception.]

...That man has better, longer hair than any girl I've ever known.

[hispeedchase]

[Glances at the cover, because he already forgot what the cover looked like.] Yeah, that's Bofia... Apparently girls like that sort of thing?

[gunbladegrrl]

I think I'm more envious than aroused, though that may be because he looks like he's spilled an entire quart of cooking oil on his torso.

[hispeedchase]

9 out of 10 romance novel fans said that's sexy. I guess I'm the 10th because I still don't get it. I don't want to do a guy that looks like a basted chicken.

[grollschwert]

[Grolla will never understand this man.]

You want to be subjected to such ridicule?

[hispeedchase]

You don't understand. She tells me things that I didn't even know about myself or my closest friends. If I can't trust her, who can I trust?

[grollschwert]

Typically, I take her about as seriously as I take you.

[which is to say, barely at all.]

[hispeedchase]

You wound me, Grolla. You can't see it but I'm crying right now.
