I apologise in advance to Flaring Rhythm; this was originally her idea…but it was so good I had to use it…I'm hoping you will take it as a compliment, Flaring!

The nor'westerly wind is causing much irritation in the place where I live. Anybody want to swap weather?

Lythia Harpen

FletcherTheLegend:OK Lythia, sleeping does count as a weekend activity. You win.

I_Beat_Rinestarr: You take defeat well! ^ ^

FletcherTheLegend: Ah, I guess so. Skulduggery's the one with the ego, not me!

SkeletalMemoirs: What's this I hear?

FletcherTheLegend: Oh, go on Skulduggery, you know it's true. *Sticks tongue out*

SkeletalMemoirs: Do you realise that anybody who calls himself a 'legend' is sure to have an ego the size of a bus?

I_Beat_Rinestarr: *shakes head*

TheEndOfSanguine: Hi Lythia! What's new?

I_Beat_Rinestarr: Not a lot, Fletcher's pointing out Skulduggery's ego. Where's Val, Tanith?

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: Greetings to Tanith, my beautiful wife. Your stuff is being shipped over now; you'll be able to move in soon. Skulduggery, you know it to be true…

SkeletalMemoirs: *sighs* I'll admit it just this once…

FletcherTheLegend: I'll remember that! Haha!

SkeletalMemoirs: *cracks knuckles*

TheEndOfSanguine: INTERVENTION!

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: *sighs*

I_Beat_Rinestarr: Fletcher, stop baiting Skulduggery.

Gordon'sRelation: I agree whole-heartedly. Leave my fiance alone.

TheEndOfSanguine: Where's Stormshadow?

I_Beat_Rinestarr: He's around…

InfamousNecromancer has logged in

InfamousNecromancer: Right as always…hi. Is it just coincidence we all happen to be on here at the same time?

FletcherTheLegend: Um…

Gordon'sRelation: Let's call it that.

InfamousNecromancer: Anybody heard anything to do with Sanguine?

SkeletalMemoirs: Val and I are heading out to England to bring him in tomorrow.

InfamousNecromancer: If you need help, I'm with the Irish Sanctuary now. I can get you resources when and if you need them

SkeletalMemoirs: I'll remember that. Thanks.

InfamousNecromancer: No problem.

TheEndOfSanguine: I'm coming to England, Valkyrie, Skulduggery.

SkeletalMemoirs: Fine, if you want to.

Gordon'sRelation: YAY *does Snoopy happy dance*

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: Count me in, too.

FletcherTheLegend: What about me?

SkeletalMemoirs: What about you?

FletcherTheLegend: Well, can I come?

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: I have a sneaking suspicion Skulduggery's going to decline…

Gordon'sRelation: No, let him come.

SkeletalMemoirs: WHAT?

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: WHAT?

TheEndOfSanguine: WHAT?

InfamousNecromancer: WHAT?

I_Beat_Rinestarr: WHAT?

Gordon'sRelation: OK, must you repeat yourselves? *laughs* I don't want to listen to his protests for half a day…half a week…half a month…

SkeletalMemoirs: Ah. Right that is.

InfamousNecromancer: Maybe even half a year.

FletcherTheLegend: HEY!

SkeletalMemoirs: *laughs hysterically*

Gordon'sRelation: *laughs more hysterically*

I_Beat_Rinestarr: Want to meet at the beach in ten minutes, Fletcher?

FletcherTheLegend: OK…bye, people!

I_Beat_Rinestarr: Goodbye, all!

BeautifulLibrarian: Hi, what's new?

InfamousNecromancer: China! Have a cyber-kiss x

BeautifulLibrarian: xxx three for you, Storm!

SkeletalMemoirs: *raises eyebrow* you have a habit of dating Necromancers, China.

BeautifulLibrarian: *shrugs* well, Stormshadow doesn't nick my books.

InfamousNecromancer: And I'm cooler.

SkeletalMemoirs: Fair enough.

BeautifulLibrarian: Hi, Valkyrie.

Gordon'sRelation: Hi. How was today for you?

BeautifulLibrarian: Fine.

SkeletalMemoirs: I got a bee sting today.

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: OK... *claps extremely slowly to exaggerate puzzlement*

InfamousNecromancer: It's perfectly normal occurrence, isn't it…?

Gordon'sRelation: Don't mock him! He hasn't had a bee sting in over a century. Has it swollen, Skulduggery?

SkeletalMemoirs: Yes, unfortunately.

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: I wonder what Grouse would suggest?

TheEndOfSanguine has logged in

TheEndOfSanguine: I'm back. What have I missed?

Gordon'sRelation: Skulduggery got a bee sting today. Where did you go?

TheEndOfSanguine: I went to reheat some pasta. I'm hungry.

BeautifulLibrarian: That's made me hungry in turn. Well done, Tanith.

TheEndOfSanguine: You're welcome.

BeautifulLibrarian: I am going to go and get something to eat. Goodbye for the present.

InfamousNecromancer: If you're hungry I'm taking you to a restaurant. I'll be around in five.

Tex-Mex: How you doin', all?

SkeletalMemoirs: *sighs* Sanguine, you idiot. How did you get on here?

Tex-Mex: Ah, I 'ave my ways, Mr Bones.

SkeletalMemoirs: I'm a normal human now, Sanguine.

Tex-Mex: *sighs* You'll always be Mr Bones to me.

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: Skulduggery is now a normal human that punches just as well as his skeleton predecessor.

Gordon'sRelation: I suggest you bugger off before we track the computer you're on.

Tex-Mex: Well, ther's those wonderful li'l things called Internet Cafés…But y'all wouldn't be so quaint, I reckon.

TheEndOfSanguine: I'm going to hunt you down, Sanguine. Hence my username.

Tex-Mex: I'm sure there's no way you're gonna get nowhere close to me. Now I'll be seein' y'all sometime.

Tex-Mex has logged out

SkeletalMemoirs: Bugger and buggeration.

Gordon'sRelation: We must remember he's a coward.

TheEndOfSanguine: Oh, yes. SUCH a coward.

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: Didn't you kill Sanguine, Val?

SkeletalMemoirs: She thought so until we saw Sanguine on the news.

Tailor/Boxer Hybrid: Oh.

Gordon'sRelation: Yeah. Bummer.

SkeletalMemoirs: I sense this conversation is drawing to a close.

TheEndOfSanguine: Yeah. Kinda.

Tailor/BoxerHybrid: I have a jacket to finish. Come over if you like, Tanith.

TheEndOfSanguine: OK.
