Wow.

[augustusketchum-blog]

Good to hear I’m among good company. 

As a matter of fact, I’ll drink to that. *raises glass* Cheers, Gus!

@augustusketchum

Cheers! 

*takes drink*

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

Hmm, depends on how you look at it. But I see it as a pretty good thing. 

Oh? Who are you closer to then? Ohh no we’re not at all. Well, my mom and I are. Grandma Gordan, not so much.

@augustusketchum

If you see it as good, I guess I will too. 

Well Adelaide probably, she’s my twin.

[augustusketchum-blog]

I’m glad you think that.

I dunno, you seem like the sort of person who comes off as predictable and quiet at first, but really you’ve got this complex and beautiful way of thinking about things and seeing things and when you let people see that, it’s like, completely mind-blowing. Or maybe I’m just stoned and talking nonsense. Anyways, yes, you totally do owe me a better fun fact. I’ll hold you to that.

augustusketchum 

Wow...whether you’re stone or not, that’s ugh, that’s really nice. Thank you. 

I promise as soon as I think of a good fun fact, you’ll be the first to hear it.

[claudia--jenny]

Oh goodness...

[augustusketchum-blog]

Haha, those are a bit of a bummer. So I take it your a night owl?

Ya know, I keep hearing that suggestion. You have any– favorite drinks? Unless you’re not into the whole ‘underage drinking’ thing, which is also very rad… Wow, I’m a walking After-School-Special…

augustusketchum

I wouldn’t say I’m a total night owl, I’ll go to bed if I know I have something to do. I do enjoy a little extra sleep from time to time though. What about you? Would you consider yourself more of a morning or night person? 

I’m not totally opposed to it, but I’m pretty new to it. I have yet to discover a favorite drink. *laughs* I happen to enjoy a good after school special.

[chase--mercer-blog]

Wow.

[augustusketchum-blog]

Awesome. *orders* I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tame when it comes to drinkin’, just to warn ya ahead of time. This’ll probably be my first and last. 

augustusketchum

Well that makes two of us. 

I’ve just sort of started trying out this whole drinking and partying thing.

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

Oh, what a sneaky little smirk, Augustus Ketchum.

Sounds like a plan. So you’re close with your family, then? Oh it’s certainly an interesting place. But it’s growing on me…

augustusketchum

I-is that a good thing, or a bad thing? 

I’d say we’re pretty close. I’m closer to some than others though. What about you and your family? Yeah, it can take some getting used to.

[adelaide-ketchum]

Okay, what the hell.

[augustusketchum-blog]

I suppose that’s true. I’m really doing him a service! Maybe he’ll shape up in his new life, become a better person, or something along those lines.

As soon as we’re ready–and not a moment too soon. It’s kind of disappointing, to be honest. Which reminds me, don’t do drugs, Gus. They’re scary.

augustusketchum

One day he’ll thank you.

*laughs* Thanks Mere. You’re too late though, some sketchy guy in the woods already offered me a handful of drugs right before I talked to you. 

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

Good, I’d hate for you to not enjoy it. I’d feel like a terrible fellow party-er.

I could read you like a book, Augustus. Hm… I think that counts. But only if you two have, like, twin telepathy, or something equally as interesting. Otherwise, it’s just moderately interesting, and you still owe me a fun fact. I’ll give you one in return.

augustusketchum

Well you’re definitely not that. 

I have a feeling that’s not a very hard thing to do. Hmm...can’t say that we do but that would be pretty cool. Guess I still owe you a better fun fact. I’ll come up with something before the end of the night.

[chase--mercer-blog]

Wow.

[augustusketchum-blog]

Well that definitely makes two of us, not to worry.  

A-hem, you want a drink, Augustus?

augustusketchum 

It’s good to know I’m not the only guy out here who’s a little out of their element. 

Sure. Thanks.

[claudia--jenny]

Oh goodness...

[augustusketchum-blog]

Haha, yep. I haven’t changed much there! C’mon, you gotta be a little excited!

True….. okay how does one go about acting like she’s having a good time? *laughs* As you can tell, I’m just a bit hopeless, Gus.

augustusketchum

I’m glad you haven’t. I mean I little excited for the fun stuff, but not for things like waking up early or homework. 

It’s alright. I just sort of make it up as I go along. I would talk to people, maybe even consider having a drink if you like. It might loosen you up some.

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

We’ll see how far ‘smart’ gets us, and go from there. 

I’ve– heard enough about her. Oh I’m not most people. So I’ll stick with Augustus for now. Hmm, Goddess Divine? *laughs* Alison’ll work just fine. So you like it here, Augustus?

augustusketchum

I guess that sounds like a plan. 

That’s not surprising. That works too. *laughs* I’ll go with Alison then. Yeah, I like it. Having my family here with me helps. What about you? How do you like it?

[adelaide-ketchum]

Okay, what the hell.

[augustusketchum-blog]

Aw, you flatter me, Gus. I pity his nose. It’ll never look the same.

Yeah, well, every second counts if I wanna beat Oak. I’ve been trying, but so far all I’m getting are alcohol and drugs.

augustusketchum

Maybe that’s a good thing? Then he can change his name, move somewhere else and nobody ever has to know what happened. 

I can’t argue with that. When do you plan on battling him again? *laughs* At one of these parties, that sounds about right. Drugs and alcohol are probably just are probably a little more valuable than chocolate out here.

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

Anytime, Augustus.

Majority rules, right? *takes shot* Good! I know the odds were in your favor, but I was a teeny bit worried about that fourteen percent of possible failure. Now before the next round, tell me something about yourself. And make it something interesting, not just like, that you like watching TV, or that  you take naps every Thursday at two.

augustusketchum

Luckily fourteen percent isn’t that much. It turned out just fine.  

Something interesting...well that’s kind of hard now that you just took my two most interesting facts off the table...I’m a twin, does that count as interesting? Or were you expecting something more compelling?

[chase--mercer-blog]

Wow.

[augustusketchum-blog]

Oh! That’s– that’s good to hear. It sure does!

So– liking the party so far?

augustusketchum

Yeah, it’s not so bad. I’m still getting used to this whole party thing though.

What about you?

[claudia--jenny]

Oh goodness...

[augustusketchum-blog]

I’m really looking forward to it! New year’s are always exciting.

Haha, that’s my one consolation. And– knowing some people that are here, of course! Now if I could only drop the ‘Jenny’ vibe that’s making everyone around here nervous, I’ll be gold!

augustusketchum

Ah, ever the optimist.  

Knowing people definitely helps. I’m sure if you just act like you’re having a good time, everybody will chill out.

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

Well– let’s start slow and see how we feel, huh? *orders*

Ah, is this the infamous Meredith we’re talking about? No surprise there. Well, I’m glad you came to this one. I can already tell I like you, Gus. Can I call you Gus?

augustusketchum

I think that’s smart. 

Yeah actually, it is. Do you know her? Yeah, Gus is fine. Most people ending calling me Gus anyway. Is Alison okay for you, or is there something you prefer to be called?

[augustusketchum-blog]

So is second time the charm for parties?

[augustusketchum-blog]

You won’t know until you get over there, talk to people, and try.

They’re just bursting with opportunity.

augustusketchum

Eh, I’m trying. Baby steps Lola, baby steps. 

*laughs* Opportunities to get drunk, get in trouble, have your name end up in a mass email. All sorts of opportunities.
