{{Oh my gosh. I just read your post, and saw the whole, "mundane," thing. Are you a Mortal Instruments fan?}}

[Hehe, so you noticed that! I am indeed. I never used the word before, actually. After reading the books though, I use it a lot more. Who's your favorite character?]

[youre_the_onlyreason]

{{Cool! I am on the second book, but, so far, my favorite is Maia.}}

[Avaloni]

((Nice! I'm still on first (just finished) and mine's Jace.))
(Your turn to post btw)

[youre_the_onlyreason]

{{Yeah, everyone's favorite is Jace. He is my second favorite. Just, when you meet Maia in the second book, she is awesome. Hilarious, nice, but has a terrible past. Like, how could someone with her past be how she is? I ship her and Simon.}}
{{I know, I will post in a bit.}}

~Caroline~

Caroline shrugged, and rubbed her arm awkwardly. "I mean, I will. I just got in here, and I am just trying to get through them. It is just that I keep getting stopped. Not that it is bad that you stopped me! I mean you are cute and fun to talk to! I mean! Grr! Uhhhh! I meant that, like, your face, and then I am bored, and... UGH! What am I saying!? I am so sorry! Just don't listen to a word I just said, please! I hate myself sometimes! I can be so stupid! Sorry." Caroline started blushing a ton out of anger, and embarrassment. She couldn't believe what she had just said. Caroline hated the fact that things just slip out of her mouth when she didn't mean for them to.

[.:bunches:.]

Espy laughed, "Figures, poor thing. Wanna go upstairs and find her? I don't feel all that comfortable just wandering around here yet...I know you said I'm welcome to and all but still. Where's Tabitha by the way. She was here earlier, is she upstairs too?" Espy paused, rinsed out her cup and put it in the dishwasher and waited for an answer.

"Sherry, how much further by the map?" Larry felt like he had been driving for a decade and though they were making good time Andrew was bouncing off the ceiling and he was definitely due for a break. Sherry took his hand and said, "We'll be there in about an hour or so. Wanna switch off? You've been driving all day and if you want I'll dig out the earplugs so you can nap till we get there. Did you decide if we're going straight to Jules's or not?"

Larry blinked, "Why do you always ask me a million questions at once? Yes. Switch. Yes. Earplugs. And Yes. Jules. Anything else Madame Prosecutor?" They both laughed and he pulled over and for the next hour slept until Sherry gently nudged his shoulder when she came back to the van. Andrew had fallen asleep after Larry did and she'd decided to leave them resting, ducked into Jules's club and asked him quickly where he had taken the girl. She was putting the van in drive as he turned around and saw Andrew passed out in the back. "Did he tell you where she is?" Larry asked as he pulled the earplugs from his ears. Sherry nodded putting a finger to her lips to remind him to whisper. She turned into an alley little more than a block down the road and parked the van behind a rusted out sedan. "You better handle the introductions. I'll get Andrew." She slid out of the van and unclipped her son's buckle and put him on her shoulder then followed Larry into the front entrance of the club. They sat in a booth in the corner and ordered burgers and fries, from the waitress. "Is Rusty here? I need to talk to him about Jules." He waited for a response and gently readjusted so as not to disturb Andy until his food was there.

Tabitha stood in the kitchen, awaiting the orders to come in. A waitress told her, "Two Number 4 specials, one with no ketchup, and one kids' burger." Tabitha nodded and proceded to flit about the kitchen light-heartedly. She put the patties on the grill as she set the sliced potatoes in the frying oil. As she seasoned, she decided she'd serve the order herself. She finished up the food and looked out the window of the door, making sure there wasn't anyone out there who seemed suspicious, and headed outside to give the family their plate. She placed the plates on the table in front of them, and then chirped, "Enjoy!" It wasn't until she noticed the strange looks of disbelief on their faces that she grew concerned.

[Avaloni]

((Sorry for long response time. And I thought Mangnus was everyone's favorite... oh well, I don't know enough TMI fans to know that! I'm reading Cress right now..))

Anastasia

Anastasia shrugged. "Don't know where she is now but she and Shaylee were talking about getting her a job. They're probably upstairs talking to Rusty or something." She picked up a small hand-mirror and fixed a few flyaway strands of hair. "I'll come with you. I could use some fresh air. Besides, they serve the most amazing soup today for the lunch special."

HAWKE

Hawke allowed a thin but telling smile slide upon his lips. "So, you think my face is amazingly cute?" he paused, allowing for a stuck-up grin. "Yeah, I must say most of the time I would generally agree with you..." He brushed a hand through his dark honey-colored hair, wondering why he'd chosen to act so arrogant. He was never this arrogant... Then he quickly remembered. Because it's fun! He realized that a gentleman would've possibly chuckled, but let Caroline's whole slip-up blow over as if he hadn't heard it. But then again, Hawke was hardly a gentleman. He was a rouge super-soldier with an identity complex and a nasty tendency for self-harm. He let his arrogance slip off and asked another question, he was curious about this doe-like girl before him standing in the woods. "Okay, so you are going to skip town. Pray tell, where are you going?" He kept his hazel eyes fixed on her, they were bright, full of interest and playful curiosity.

Shaylee whipped around as she heard a customer speaking to her. She still had a fraction of the happy smile she'd displayed when Rusty'd said Tabitha's dish was good. She turned and listened, her pretty blond curls cascading around her, down her neck and resting on top of her blouse. At first confusion sparked within her, then a tinge of fear. She suspected that they were undercover Goldhawk workers to inspect Rusty's club.... again. But then most of it dissipated when she studied their faces. They didn't have the harshness, the precise focus, or the emotionless eyes most Goldhawk inspectors did. Nobody asked for Rusty unless they were an inspector... or someone asking about Tendits. Either way it was her job to get him. Shaylee, being a professional, did not let her misgivings or curiosity show in her face. She tried hard to remain exactly the same as she had before. She nodded her head. "Okay! I'll go get him." Shaylee turned on her heel, walking over to the bar. Rusty was always at the bar. This was because he, of course, was bartender. There was nobody at the bar, though, except for Rusty. Rusty was leaning back against a wooden shelf, stock full of alcohol and exotic juices. He was holding a round glass of something amber with a perfect square of ice. She suspected it to be scotch, even though it was entirely too early to start drinking. "Rusty!" She said, not meaning to sound as annoyed as she did. He didn't let her edged voice bother him, or startle him. He picked up his head and looked at her lazily. "We have a family that wants to see you. They want to talk to you about Jules?" She asked him. His eyebrows perked up and he asked where they were. She pointed him in the right direction. He strode up to them without putting the drink down. Rusty stood next to the people, looking rather tall all stretched out and not slouching like he sometimes did. "You wanted to talk to me about a Jules?" He asked.

~Caroline~

Caroline kept blushing, and face-palmed. "I mean, yeah, I guess. Kind of." She meant that his face was pretty cute, and all. She didn't make eye contact, though. She was too embarrassed right now to make eye contact with him. "I don't know. Just trying to find some place I can hide. Until this nasty war is over, I am not safe. I mean, it is kind of over, but they are still looking for me. So... Where are you going?"

[Avaloni]

HAWKE

Hawke frowned a little, just barely. The war. It would never really be over. Maybe this war, but soon others would follow. Even though this war was pretty much over rebellion was sparking tiny fires into the hearts of many. And then the rebels would collect. They would cooperate and attack. Then the Goldhawks would smash them down again... but as long as there were rebels, people who remembered life before the Goldhawks, there would always be war. It wouldn't stop until the people were free, and the Goldhawks were too powerful to be beaten easily.. "I," He said with somewhat of a flourish, dispelling all the ugly thoughts of war. "live in an abandoned house. The owners rent it out so often they keep the utilities on... It's.. not too far from here."
