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.]

[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?

[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?

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

Why not, what's wrong with swollen werewolves?

[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.

[ 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?

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

Dude have you ever read these? They're hilarious.

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

Isn't that what I'm saying? Think of all the ink and paper that could've gone into something worthwhile!

[No. No, he has not.]

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.]

But if they went towards like science textbooks and things, I'd never learn about how that rascally scullery maid won the cold baron's heart and life would have no meaning. [At that he grins.]

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?

[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!

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?

[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.

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!

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

You seem to have low standards when it comes to literature. [And clothing...

That title perks her curiosity and she looks at the book as well.]

Oh~! Now that looks promising! I wonder if there's another...

[That's... almost funny. He just shrugs.] But if that's all you want to get out of a book, it doesn't matter which one you pick, does it? Roll a die or something.

Just for Romance Novels. [Offers her the book.] Ladies first, I insist.

You just gotta let me know if it's any good.

[Oh come on, laugh a little.] Yeah but that's no fun. Come on, you can't pick one title?

Pick it yourself. Not like it'll make a difference.

[He looks away. Why don't all these people move already? He needs to get to a section that won't kill off his brain cells just from being nearby! Can't they see he's standing there? (No, they probably can't.)]

...Gotta say, though, it takes a special kind of author to think "tumescent" is a good choice of word for any book title.

It will totally make a difference. It's a matter of "mysterious attraction", "accidental attraction", "playing doctor" or "master and slave girl", or even "mildly to really abusive that no one seems to notice is abusive." You seriously underestimate the importance of cheesy romance plots.

[Oh good you do have a sense of humor!] That is very true. My money's on them not knowing tumescent means "swollen."

[And with that he glances in the direction Ed is. Holy crap that's a lot of people studying for finals.] So what are you looking for, grumpy ponytail?

Uhm.

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

The first...one?
