"Yes, I... Uh, I don't have - his phone number handy. May I call you back at this number when I get it?" Lauril was about to answer, but Alyssa, with the typical energy and attention span of a two-year-old, had started fidgeting once more, and looked about ready to stand up again. "Ummm... could you...

for those of you who are watching, we bicker like this all the time. Keeps ourselves on our toes. That reminds me of a quote from my favorite play.... "Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably." --Benedick, Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, Scene ii. And yes, I have told that to my boyfriend on number...

I'll try and post something from Lauril tomorrow, and that'll be her closing for the next fourish weeks.

Until then... running late and have to go.

Okay, FINALLY!

I've assumed McClaw misses the call since he's gone to shower and stuff. Hope that was okay. I can edit if I need to later. Honestly, though, this was about all I had time for, anyway.

Gotta run now. Until later...

Lauril sighed as she settled herself into a living room armchair and set her purse beside her. At last, she had made it. Between worry for those she had left at the strange professor's house, uncertainty over whether she had done the right thing in leaving, and the stress she always felt over follow...

Can I STRANGLE the computer? Please? I've just spent over an hour (probably over a couple of hours... in fact, I don't even want to think about how long) trying to work up a post. And then the stupid library computer with slow internet shut down the window. Now, I'll grant it, I did have a lot of wi...

Soon must go to bed...
I'll try to get Lauril to call either tomorrow or the day after (real time).

No, Lauril left before the headsets.

So... I almost hesitate to say anything yet, because there's no telling when I'll have free time or how long the beginning of the "morning" is going to take... but it's looking like I'll still be near internet access around the time "tomorrow" that Lauril was supposed to call McClaw (I'll still be n...

Hi and welcome, DayenuRose! :D I'm "not here"... but I had to say hello. I was excited to read about your character. She seems like a lot of fun. I should warn you, whenever I get my character back in (don't worry; it'll be a while :wink: :D ) she'll probably end up hanging around your bookstore a g...

WOW, folks... just... WOW! I had to pipe up to say NO FAIR MAKING ME WANT TO CONSTANTLY LAUGH OUT LOUD WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIBRARY!!! I mean really! I'm having the hardest time keeping quiet sometimes! :lol: But other than that - excellent story! I must say, I'm actually glad Lauril got out ...

Okay, that's Lauril's official exit, and it's also the last from me for a while. Sorry I took so long to get it up. Incidentally, please assume she does call the next day like she said she would. It'll probably be around mid-morning or midday once she reaches her friends' house (I imagine her stoppi...

Sitting in the car, Lauril buries her face in her arms, utterly torn. Thoughts of Mark and Sue flit through her mind: their recent move, Sue's trouble with the pregnancy, the four other children. How can I just call and say I'm not coming? But what if they were just an excuse? What if she was just b...

Okay, folks, sorry - I would've tried to get out a bit less dramatically than that, but... well, I didn't think I could get Lauril out of the story as it stands with just a simple, calm, "I'm sorry, but there's been a bit of a misunderstanding..." (which, incidentally, is what's bothering her most: ...

Lauril had thought she'd... relatively calmed. She'd thought she'd gotten her nervousness over being around so many new faces and her edginess over all the odd events of the day... at least sort of controlled. However, as the seriousness of the situation - if not the full implications - begins to si...

Lauril's definitely bowing out before the ship. I'll be watching for good place to post her departure, however I can figure it. I'm thinking she'll be reasoning that she has no ability to help with what they're currently getting ready for - that she'd probably end up being a liability - and that she...

Lauril watches Omega and Sebastis, worried... and a little frightened. I wonder what's wrong. It sounds like something really dreadful... Rather absorbed by worry and an increasing tension from wondering whether or not there's something she should say or do (though she strongly suspects not), the ch...

Well you've sure created a situation in which Lauril will find it awkward to run off to go help her friends in Virginia while they're having their (fifth) baby...! (Yes, that's her reason for traveling. No, it's not the reason I'm going to be out of town.) Then again, she wouldn't know much that wou...

As she approaches the house, Lauril hears the piano music. She doesn't know the song, but as she walks slowly toward the door - examining the door and frame as she goes - she begins humming along. She continues humming quietly as she pulls on the handle of the the already slightly-open door and slip...

Approaching the house, a delighted smile brakes out on Lauril's face, and it continues growing wider the closer to the house they come. "Yes. Yes, this is the house," she says in an undertone. "Oh, fun…" She parks the car behind the Hummer and, stepping out, turns to half-sit on the hood, studying t...
