Kayristilla: okay, so nothing was wrong with my "'s after all, Lyr's covered her Will obsession by passing it off as a science project, and now oh noes!- As I'm sure miss zanctos would like me to tell you, markings are not part of the original story.

Chapter 3

The lunch table

"Oh, I forgot to give that to her this morning. Well, no time like the present," said Isabella.

Lyr grabbed up her hide bag. It had her lunch in it, with yakkow sandwich, salad with squirrel in it, and fresh spring water, kept fresh by a layer of green eco. She dashed off to the lunch room.

"Shoot, nowhere to sit except... right there! Daaang." Lyr hung her head in defeat. She headed over to where the empty seat was. It was on the end, right next to Will! The elf sat down. None of them noticed.

"So, what do you think of Freakshow's display with the orb?"

"I think it's completely bogus."

"Indeed."

Well, they talk about me at lunch. Plus one point for me.

"I suddenly feel like I should have markings on my face." The others agreed. Well then, green eco, let's start marking. She pulled out her waterskin, scraped off the green eco, and proceeded to paint every face at the table. They didn't know what happened, and she was left giggling at the end. That was when they noticed she was there.

"Freakshow! When'd you get there!"

"Five minutes ago."

They were stunned.

kayristilla: What happened...? All I remember is fuzz and then black. (reads typing) Huh, well ty anonymous typer...
