Whomever tied my shoelaces into a knot this morning, it was not appreciated. Kindly do not enter my room without permission again.

[Pen taps]

Rogue, are you about?

[Slight pause]

Is everyone else [very small pause] alright?

Who do you live with that would tie them together?

And I am very all right!

[burnt_orangesky]

Neither 00 nor Innovator would do such a thing, I am quite sure.

That is good to hear.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh! I did not know you lived with them. 00 is well?

And how are you?

[ghost_of_00]

How do you define all right?

00

[burnt_orangesky]

Still being here, I suppose.

[ghost_of_00]

I am all right. [the period spot gets larger as she considers asking something else, but she isn't sure how to frame the question.]

[live_ringer]

Okay on this end. Something up?

[burnt_orangesky]

Not really, I merely felt like checking.

[live_ringer]

Ah. I suppose that's understandable.

Oh, remind me tomorrow at work that I have something to show you.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

I'm here. I'm [brief pause] okay.

You need something?

[Longer pause. He can't leave it at that; he was usually a little more talkative than this before.]

Someone greased half of the walkways in Section One. Somehow I've managed to keep from stepping in it so far, but that could change.

[burnt_orangesky]

Good.

I was thinking of taking up griffin riding, and of course you were the first person I thought to ask about that.

I shall remember that, if I need to go down there for some reason.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. That makes three women who've been interested because of him, and Promise and Stardust both vanished not long after. ...He hopes it's not a pattern.]

Well, lessons are open to anyone who's employed. It's probably better to stop by in the early afternoons on a weekday. Ask one of the grooms - they wear these fairly distinctive vests - for the griffin master, and he can set you up with a mild animal and a trainer.


You've heard that sort of - I don't know, cheerfully melancholy music around, right? I found out that it's coming from some kind of groundcar. No idea how it gets between the islands, though.

You called?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's just sad. That trick doesn't normally work unless you're IN your shoes and I know you're not THAT oblivious. EPIC FAIL.

Also define "alright".

Derrick lost his journal somewhere so he's hiding in his room and pretending to be a writer. Occasionally I hear thumps in there. I realllllllly don't want to know.

We're the anti social house! :D

[Derrick God-modded with Shuri's permission]

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

The kind of thumps we should be worried about, or the kind that we should congratulate him on later?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

UGH. I hate you. Mind bleach. Need some.

Considering I saw nobody enter the house for the past several hours I highly doubt it. Besides that, not the kind of thump you're thinking of, Oh Great Ninja Perv. Think shoe hitting the wall. Or...possibly a dead body, who knows. I'll deny this entire conversation the moment he gets his journal back.

[burnt_orangesky]

Is that how it is supposed to be? No, but the laces were so knotted it took me nearly ten minutes to untangle them.

That you are still here is enough.

Tell him to go out and get some fresh air, it's a lovely day.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Right you reach down, tie the laces together and when the person stands up--BAM! They trip and fall. Grade school level prank.

Ah. Yup still alive and kicking. YOU still owe me breakfast.

Seriously you do NOT want to interrupt Derrick when he's in his process. That's just asking for a boot to the head.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Have you tried questioning the Man-twins' former pet about your shoe problems?

[burnt_orangesky]

I am not entirely certain he would be up to climbing through my window or picking the lock on the door just to tie my shoelaces together.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Someone tied your shoelaces? Maybe it's the same person who had switched everything in our kitchen around? I found the sugar in the cutlery drawer! They must have been very busy, though.

Other than that, I'm well. How are you? It's been a while.

[burnt_orangesky]

Perhaps, though it sounds as though they had a most busy night if it was just the one person. Rogue mentioned something about walkways in some of the residential sections being greased.

I am well, thank you. It has been a while; did you manage to fix your hairpin?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Hello I'm fine.

Simon is sick.

[burnt_orangesky]

I am very sorry to hear it. I hope he gets better soon.

[all-blue-prince.livejournal.com]

Your shoelaces?

Maybe one of your roommates, if you got any?

[burnt_orangesky]

I highly doubt either Innovator or 00 would have done such a thing; and it seems such a small inconvenience, though highly annoying. I do not know of anyone off-hand who would go to the trouble of breaking into my house merely to tie my shoes together.
