Ayshela

Sue sat at her desk ignoring the teacher who was once again overexplaining the homework she'd already finished. Thoughts of the the lovely green dress she'd bought and considerations of who to go to Prom *with* were interrupted by the announcement of Brown's death. For once, her mask of unconcerned confidence slipped for a moment, and anyone watching would have seen shock and confusion as she tried to make sense of the announcement. "But, no! That's not possible. He knew better than that, he'd *never* drink before racing!" Sue drifted through the rest of the day hardly noticing anything behind her mask of unconcerned boredom, puzzling over the "accident" and how it could have happened. She was swept along with the crowd after school and found herself in the cafeteria where she got a Coke and found a table by herself. Whatever had really happened to Brown, he had no worries now, and *she* still needed to figure out who to go to Prom with. OOC: no accusation - yet. =)

Ayshela wanders in and notices the empty pedestal. "hrmm, now where did she get to?" she wonders, looking about for Tanny. "Good thing i can see through invisibility spells." she murmurs, blessing once again the various pieces of jewelry which enable her to do so. "Now, to track down the ever-elusive Tanuchan. She's not escaping her hugs, or credit where due, *that* easily!" Seriously, hope your birthday was splendid. *huge hugs*

of course you can! =)

Sue smiled to herself as she heard her name among those nominated. Looking around at the other girls, either preening at their nomination or scowling at having been left out, she stifled a laugh. Not a brain in their heads, for the most part. This shouldn't be *too* hard. The bell rang and Sue joined the throng of people streaming out the doors. She turned down three offers of a ride home and instead strolled down the sidewalk *almost* oblivious to the admiring looks of those she passed by. Which dress shop would have *the* perfect dress was of far more concern at the moment. With luck there would be time for alterations, as well. She walked on, head full of plans - this time she'd show the other girls, brains AND beauty are far better.

*heh* starting nominations days beforehand lets some of us eliminate the competition! *evil laugh* umm, i mean, leaves time to shop for the perfect dress and matching shoes! yeah, that's it!

*hugs Mynx gently and brings in a large pot of chicken rice soup* *tucks Mynx back in bed with a cup of tea, a bowl of soup, a large box of tissues, a teddy bear and a fuzzy soft blanket* get well soon!

How much bubble bath would it take for the high seas?

heh.. sounds like some of my late night conversations with myself.

Ayshela tucks Mynx in with a cup of tea, a bowl of homemade chicken rice soup, a teddy bear and a warm fuzzy blankie. Get well soon, hon. We'll wait for you, you know that. *hugs*

Ayshela hovers just inside the edge of shadow, waiting for Tanny to pass by. Waiting, waiting, patiently biding her time, Ayshela sees many Pennites wander past but not the one she's looking for - until... Tanny heads innocently in Ayshela's direction, focused intently on one of her many projects and completely unaware of Ayshela's presence. This is quickly rectified as Ayshela hurls herself upon Tanny, giggling madly and tackling her, rolling with her into the brightest of spotlights. Ayshela picks Tanny up and dusts her off, setting her back up on her cushioned pedestal now that it's been properly reupholstered. Bringing her a slice of birthday cake and a cup of punch, Ayshela gives Tanny a mock-stern look and tells her "There you go, back where you belong. It's your birthday, this is your spotlight - now bask." Ayshela smiles and steps away to stand guard - not so no one can come near, but so Tanny doesn't escape. "Oh, and Happy Birthday!" she says with a shadow-banishing grin.

*hugs* hope things pick up for you.

i think, at the moment, i've got all the mayhem i can handle standing between Broken Inside and Blain, so while i'll follow with interest, i won't be submitting a character. =(

You mean so she could properly apply lotion after exfoliating?

*tacklehugs Tam properly this time* hah! late or no, hope your birthday was splendid! =)

okay, my character will be Susan "Sweet Sue" Lincoln. Sue's smart, unfortunately she knows it. She holds herself back in class just enough that she doesn't get compared with any of the "icky nerds", but making herself look dumber than she knows she is frustrates her. She's very pretty, but unfortunately, she knows this too. She's very proud of her flaming red hair without in the least acknowledging the temper which goes with it. Knowing that she's smarter than most anyone around her, and *knowing* she's prettier as well };> she'll be almost unbearably sweet to your face. Just don't turn around.

*tacklehugs Rev* Happy Happy Birthday!

Though you may feel broken, i assure you that you look and act anything but, m'dear. A very happy 16th to you. *Huge proud happy huggles*

Now that Gryphon is free of kitten minions, Ayshela takes a moment to tacklehug him and wish him a very happy birthday!

count me in - will edit with character description later when i've more than one active brain cell.

or was it an offshoot of keelhauling?

(side note - some word processors automatically capitalize the beginning of each line)

Ayshela looks in wonder at the delicate weaving and careful craftsmanship, recognizing a small treasure in her hand. Looking back up at Tanny she blinks back happy tears and hugs Tanny tightly, finally finding breath and words enough to whisper "Thank you. It's beautiful."

As much time as pirates spend aboard ship, how would they shower?

She danced on silver wings, a graceful figure slipping through my dreams. Her silver laughter danced about my muddled thoughts of what it means when gentle folk entice in dancing, laughing dreams of what could be, to prod the fearful on beyond their safe confines with "come and see." new line: Windswept hair and scarlet smile

Would pirate's wenches still be attractive if they didn't shower?
