Progress into the depths of the store is slow, cautious: a nervous, furtive animal searching unfamiliar territory. Past banks of CDs - beneath garish displays - through crowds of kids - then, finally, down a specific aisle, side-to-side flicker of attention, eyes darting across dust jackets and labels. A gutterpunk - two-hundred dollar boots, shaved head, pockets full of spare change - starts to slip a CD under his jacket while Enid's back is turned. With the same sixth sense granted to teachers that allows them to decipher just who threw tha spitball, the yellow-haired girl turns around and tell him, "You're _so_ gonna put that back, 'cus I'm not gonna buy it back off of you when you bring it by next week."

Enid has arrived. From afar, Hiro tries to get you to your feet and against the wall, so you're not all sprawled out in the dust. Then books inexplicably.

Daisy, raver. Compton patpats Penny on the back, looking like an Uncle afraid of getting caught on camera with his neice, "Rose Motel's cheaper" he replys. Jesse says, in Enochian, "Nip had a weird *********.

You step back onto the ferry terminal as the boat comes to a stop. You walk back out to the street. You walk west along Queens Quay to York. You walk north along Yonge to Front.

All that Pobble can say is, "You're a cop?" incredulously while looking at Eri. "I guess Park Rangers really get some whacky gear in case of emergency.."

The anger bleeds away in to the psycho-scary seriousness that is always more scary than the wild maniac. Something about his tone makes you believe he'll do it too. "Ahh..."

Anastasia folds her hands before her waist and starts to speak softly to Morgan, looking back over to her table. Morgan arches a brow, then whispers back to Anastasia. Anastasia answers to Morgan, flatly, "No.

He sways a little unsteadily, sniffs a few times and shrugs. Pupils that were wide to begin with look about the room intently, as if an earlier ingestion of chemicals had found its mark and he chuckles quietly to himsef, offering a finger waggle to the other table. Anastasia reaches for her satchel and then, with her free hand, tugs at Pobble's coat.

Its all so wonderfully nonchalant that she even catches the smile of some annonymous, flirtations busy-body on his way to a train. She returns it just in brief and continues. [OOC] Penny says "He rolled for it.

She flings her hands at her sides, and now The Rage (tm) is starting to well up, though it's got a wyld chaotic fling about it, like a live wire dancing on wet pavement. "I give you truth and you stab me in the back! And they call Eiluneds treacherous!" Suddenly, she looks at her hands she just flung and becomes /intensely/ interested in them, The Rage (tm) subsiding almost as quickly as it came.

"Doctor Steve," Eri echoes as she looks to the blue-haired man in the white coat, her words broken by an unintentional, good natured laugh. Then, more seriously, "Well, I'm glad to know we have more allies..." As her words drift off, she peers at Anastasia, hard, and then smirks faintly. "You've been working with the prodigals on this problem, haven't you?

Upon getting close enough, Alyx interjects mildly, "Maybe without Dave, I could actually get some sense out of Dr Steve." A bright, almost saccharine smile is offered towards Epnny and Jesse, before she asides to Daisy, "S'up?" Jesse has/had a bloody nose, y'see.

Daisy is late to work, late to class, late to bloom, late to bed and, likewise, late to rise. She is, apparently, here to pick someone up, but is rather late to that as well. About a block south of here, travelling at a bouncing jog, she's coming up the street, looking frantically about for something or another.

Eyes that are suggestive of some kind of drug induced haze channel surf, flicking between the pair and the static fuzz of no-person somewhere between them which is only visible to the befurred man. An approximation of outrage crawls onto his features, but it's definately a half-arsed effort by the muscles. The desired look is missed, and the expression that shows up in it's place is more like..

Her distaste for the man is evident, though, despite her emotionless tone. Now, for those who know Ana - her cursing like that - that's just unheard of. Jaws may now commence dropping.

Heavy black curtains hang over the windows in front, shutting out almost all of the ambient light from the world beyond. The room is lit only by real candles and gas lamps. The air carries an old, almost must scent to it, giving you the sense of walking in to a building centuries old, even though it is a relatively new rennovation.

First time in my badminton career at least....and IT HURTS. Just knowing the fact that every serving attempt you had was wiped out by an onslaught of smashes, and you can't do anything about it since me and John only clear for smash reception.....yeah we lost pretty bad....and were pretty peeved cuz of it. 2nd game though, we did what no other team before us did.....
blog
blog_5_3
So talked to some other people on the bus.....and looked around the Kiwanis program for events that people I know are playing at. Didn't really see much except for some younger kids that go to my church. Two of them apparently have a duet, which I think is pretty cool. So when we arrive at Saunders....kinda funny how first 3 people I see are Anton, Jonny and Tyler.

Also chatted with the few people I knew there *NO ONE FROM THEORY 3 WHY!?* so managed to talk with Jaclyn and Lindsay while there lol. Though I'm mostly totally out of the bubble they have, there were a few things we could relate to. Normally I don't really see 'em much at school....hmm I think mainly because I guess I chill w/ different people?

So falling into the temptation *OH NO.....TEMPTATION* I quickly ran downstairs, grabbed a plate, rice, and quickly ran out to the wood deck to grab a piece of steak.

So decided to take long way there instead of waiting for Dundas bus *patience right there* and took Cherryhill w/ Dan and Elaina, then transfered onto Wonderland. Got to UCC around.....330ish?

Bio Class.......BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG. Another presentation.......well actually this one was kinda amusing.....they were talking about narcotics lol. But even if I wanted to nap I wouldn't have been able to. Holy crap Adam Ozvald sniffles once every 5 seconds....for his presentation he'd sound like this: "Nicotine *sniff* is a form of depre*sniff*ssant.*sniff*It acts as a *sniff* depressant as it *sniff* causes *sniff* you to not *sniff sniff* have as *sniff* great of *sniff* senses *sniff sniff sniff* as usual"....*SNORT* So yeah even if I tried to sleep......I woulda been woken up by the constant sniffling.

So getting that by, me Nate and Mike ended up going to Stobie's today; a place I haven't been to since last November.....don't remember why...thought it was expensive back then. But seeing my spending habits now...it's a bargain for the quality food I get there.

blog
blog_5_3
After some nervous playing....and fumbling with the trombone slide....I FINALLY SEE GOLD AT KIWANIS WITH SENIOR BAND! Now at first....I was kinda expecting a silver since we had the same communist-like adjudicators as when Intermediate band played....but once we heard Lucas got Gold....I started thinking "YES WE HAVE A CHANCE!" And we did =).

blog_5_3
well now the bell's rang by now....talked to some people......set tomorrow for studying @ Jason's house.....and while I'm at it play NFL street....wanna see what the game's like. I actually talked for a while, then I ended up running out the door when I was stopped by Steph Bourdage.

We sounded like....*shudder.* It was the worst....and I think he was bulding up momentum to his PMS state.....because after we started playing another song.....and Connor and Arjun entered at the wrong bar......he was like PMSing. "Releasing his Tiger" according to Mr. McCumber.
