Goin' 'round and 'round to difference places; dictated/action and forward dated to the morning

[inlifesname]

[Anyone who wanders into the kitchen this morning will find Nita at the stove, scrambling some eggs and dancing to the music playing in her ipod.

Her little groove continues as she dumps the eggs on to a plate, grabs a fork, and makes her way over the counter, where she has map of Paradisa spread out, little marks drawn all over it.

She pauses, the fork hanging out of her mouth, to open the journal. Once the fork is out of her mouth, she begins to casually dictate into it, still making up the map.]

So how far from the castle have you guys gone? I can read about the expedition, but I mean you personally. Not everybody is the type to wait for a big group, right?

[fearbringer]

I tried.

Unfortunately, my preferred way of traveling seems to be limited here.

[inlifesname]

Let me guess- it'll only get you around inside the 'live zone?'

dictated forever

[fearbringer]

[He switches to voice too, just to match.]

Is that what they call it?

[Well, it does contrast nicely with "the Dead Zone".]

It only works in the castle and the city. It's very irritating; I'm used to having an entire planet at my fingertips.

action

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas is watching from the doorway, completely silent and with an amused half-smile. How long before she notices him?]

[inlifesname]

[Just a few minutes- it's not long until she feels eyes on her and glances, stopping her dancing abruptly.

And turning a little bit red.]

Hi.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He tries not the laugh but it's hard to resist at least a faint chuckle. Especially with the color in her cheeks now.]

Hello.

What exactly was... [He gestures faintly towards her and then imitates her dancing.]

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[ Some mornings he took breakfast in his chambers and other mornings he took it down in the kitchens. It depended on how he felt, and this morning he wanted out of his bed chambers. Besides, he needed to go tend to Svitana, so going downstairs to the kitchens was an excellent way to wake himself up.

And was greeted to the sight of a young woman shaking her hips in what he assumed to be a rhythm of some sort. Which was amusing, given that he could hear no music. And she was at the stove, so for the moment he went over to the fridge and pulled out a jug of juice and waited for her to finish. ]</sub>

Are you all done? I thought I might make some bacon this morning.

[inlifesname]

[Nita jumps a little, taking one of the earbuds out of her ear and nodding as she removed the pan from the stove.]

Yeah, I'm done. [And also blushing a little. That probably looked dumb.]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ He notices the blush and he smiles some, pulling bacon out of the fridge now too and going to fetch a fresh pan. ]}

Would you like any? Bacon, I mean.

_{[ He held up the pack. ]}

There is more than enough for us both to share, after all.

Action forever and ever

[Cheese wanders into the kitchen every morning, in the brief hope that the cupboards will suddenly have oats in them, and not in a weird breakfast cereal kind of way. His brave an noble quest however, is waylaid by the sight of a map. Like a moth to a flame, he trots over, rearing up on his hind legs and resting his front hooves on the counter to try to peer up at it.

It looks so big, and what he wants more than anything in this universe is to get out there and see it all.]

Wow, wouldya look at all that world, just sitting there, waiting to be explored.

...The only character I play who wouldn't think twice about a talking pony

[inlifesname]

[Nita glances up and smiles.] My thoughts exactly. I'm starting to get a little stir crazy.

Cheese welcomes this change

[preformthisneigh]

[He'll just drink in that map with the endless possibilities, before glancing Nita's way, his ears drooping back.]

I know that feeling. This is the longest I've been stuck in one place since I was a foal. I'm used to travelling all over.

Buuuut I'm pretty sure my loss is that I can't do that any more.

[ and she was just out to get meat. a lot of meat. a girl's gotta eat, after all.

she pauses in the doorway, though, not because of what she sees, but what she hears. because she can easily, with her exceptional ears, hear the odd music. ]

Did you say expedition?

[ it's a very curious looking/sounding young woman in what probably looks like underwear (really really short shorts in this fabric, and a deep cut, sleeveless top in the same fabric) bouncing over. ]

[inlifesname]

[Wow, this person... probably could use some more clothes. But it's okay, Nita's dealt with far stranger than scantily dressed people. She offers a little smile.]

Yep. Someone was talking about it a while ago.

[rapscalliongirl]

[ To her, it's not even underwear, even if her normal clothes happened to be an armor. But it's not practical to wear an armor all the time. ]

Someone mentioned it to me a couple days ago! Have you been on one?

Dictated

[sworn]

[This girl sounds too young to be chomping at the bits to venture into the unknown alone.]

There is safety in numbers. Venturing too far on your own could prove dangerous, even deadly.

[inlifesname]

Oh, I know. I wasn't thinking about going alone, exactly.

[sworn]

But not in a large group?

[originalcopy]

I've been to the border of the dead zone. The whole circumference. [He needed to take a walk to clear his head, sue him.]

Don't travel alone, you're edible.

[inlifesname]

Find anything interesting?

And trust me, I know; I've been to a few planets where humans are considered a delicacy.

[originalcopy]

Nope. Not unless you count the outposts as interesting?

Wait... you've traveled to other planets?

[deductiongeek]

[Conan comes into the kitchen yawning. He was here hoping to sneak out some coffee, but he stops to stare a bit at the dancing. Was that a normal part of cooking?]

[inlifesname]

[Completely normal. Everyone does it. Yep.

Which is clearly why Nita turns red when she sees someone else in the kitchen. Whoops.]

Hi.

dictated;

[keelahs]

Not very, but I'd like to see more of what's out there. For now I'll wait until there's a team to go. I'd rather not risk venturing too far on my own, never know what's really out there.

dictated;

[inlifesname]

[A little sigh] Seems like that's a pretty common attitude around here. I mean- I get why, but I'm going nuts here.
