[thity four] This is not happening.

[goodgrasshopper]

I think...

Ohgod.  I've... turned into my mother.  This is... no.  I am not going to be my mother.  What the hell kind of flood is this, anyway?

[sigh]

And to whoever's keeping track, my warden item is no longer registering Marco Campbell.  He's gone.  His room has reverted to standard.

...I'm really going to miss that guy.

Your mother is a good lady, Molly. And nice lookin' as well. I don't think it's all that bad to turn out like her.

[goodgrasshopper]

We... haven't always seen eye to eye--though I'll admit, there are worse ways to turn out.

...I have no appropriate icon, so let's pretend!

[cisskabob]

It could be worse. You could be your great grandmother. [Why yes, Cissie IS 91. :|]

...I'm really sorry about Marco, though. I know how much that sucks.

Re: ...I have no appropriate icon, so let's pretend!

[goodgrasshopper]

...Cissie?

Thanks--it does. I liked him.

[cisskabob]

...Yes. [:|] Molly. I'm ninety-one.

I liked him too. It's harder when you like them. Are you all right?

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm forty two--I think.

And I'm okay. Kind of sad. Like you said--it's harder when you get along and actually like them.

[worstsongever]

Aw, really? I liked him. God, what a bummer.

You look nice, though. But I guess if I turned into my mom I'd freak about what that means for the future, too.

[goodgrasshopper]

Yeah, I know--he was pretty cool. I am going to miss him.

Thanks--my mom is a pretty nice lady. We just... don't always agree on... things.

[worstsongever]

Me too.

Well, she's your mom. I mean, that's kind of a given.

[goodgrasshopper]

[laugh] Yeah, I guess it is. And the worst of it was when I was a teenager.

[worstsongever]

Oh, I know this era very well. I love my mother dearly, but if she dances in public she'll leave me no choice but to kill her.

[goodgrasshopper]

[grin] Mine was very "if you think you're going out of the house like that, young lady, you can think again." And then the magic stuff made things a little... tense.

[worstsongever]

Oh, that. I got around that fun speech. For a while. Ye--did you say magic?

[goodgrasshopper]

Yep. Mom's not a big fan. But I'm an adult, and it's my life. We're... basically okay now.

[worstsongever]

Good? That. What kind of magic?

[goodgrasshopper]

Um--mostly illusion-type magic, actually. Not like magic tricks, though. Magical illusions. Making things look different, or creating images and sounds... Things like that. I like making fireworks.

[worstsongever]

...Any chance you want to show off?

[goodgrasshopper]

I love showing off. [grin]

[worstsongever]

Can you do it in your room, or should I entice you to the deck?

[goodgrasshopper]

Depends on how big a demonstration you want. I could do something small in my room, but something big like fireworks should probably be on the deck for the full effect.

[worstsongever]

Well, I'm game for a field trip if you are.

[goodgrasshopper]

Definitely! Meet you up there?

[worstsongever]

I'm already on my way.

[goodgrasshopper]

[and fireworks are viewed and are awesome! Molly even takes requests!]

[worstsongever]

[She requested a Shakespeare shaped one. Many lols were had.]

[peektuttut]

A fun and exciting one. Obviously. [All the deadpan.]

Sorry about Marco.

[goodgrasshopper]

...Tim. Is that... really you?

[peektuttut]

Bingo.

[goodgrasshopper]

...Suddenly, looking like my mom doesn't seem so bad. Sorry. Floods... kind of suck, huh?

[peektuttut]

It's not that bad. The aches and pains are annoyingly constant. [He's almost enjoying being this age. Almost.]

[goodgrasshopper]

I can imagine. I've never been... as old as you appear to be [oh Barge, why are you weird?], but it does seem like it would be fraught with aches and pains. Is it kind of weird?

[peektuttut]

It's extremely weird. I need a cane.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

What? But...bloody Barge.

[goodgrasshopper]

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I know you guys were kind of friends.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And it's bollocks that we just have to accept people leaving at random and can't do anything about it.

[goodgrasshopper]

It really is. A lot of people I knew and liked have just... vanished. It's hard to want to make friends sometimes, when that kind of stuff happens.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'm not the kind of bloke who's comfortable not having friends, but it's hard when they keep disappearing.

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm the same way. Life is just... better when you have people to share it with. But--I agree. It just kind of sucks.
