We Are Like Young Volcanoes

Kirk Lawson || 23 || Third Year || Hunter When Rome's in ruins, we are the lions Free of the coliseums In poison places, we are anti-venom We're the beginning of the end Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds It's all over now before it has begun We've already won

I had a dream I was a King

[samuelkennedy-blog]

A knight, huh? I’ll take it. I had a badass sword, right?

[kirklawson]

Oh yeah! And a long cape and armor... even a crossbow! The whole nine yards. You got all the fair maidens falling at your feet.

[Imogene explores the dorm quietly. She never leaves her room much. She always sees it as too hazardous with her ability and she’s already turned enough things to gold in there. The bed frame. The dresser. The dorm people are going to kill her.]

[She sighs and reaches out to touch a petal of a decorative daisy. As her finger traces it she can feel her power fighting the gloves material and, before she has time to pull back, her power breaks through for a second and the daisy is stuck with it. In a flash the living flower turns to solid gold and Imogene gasps. She quickly plucks it from the vase. She hopes no one saw but when she turns there’s someone staring]

Um…[She looks down at the golden daisy then holds it out] do you want it?

[kirklawson]

[Kirk was originally looking for Sebastian. He had a test and his tutor had promised him that he was well enough to help him study. However, Sebastian was no where to be found. He was about to ask the small blonde girl if she had seen him when she suddenly gasped in surprise then snatched the flower she was looking at out of it's vase. Kirk raised an eyebrow at her when she turned around. He looked down to the flower and stiffened.]

[Gold. The flower solid gold. If this were a normal situation he would accept the flower no question but this wasn't normal. That flower was not golden a few seconds ago, he was sure of it. Why would there be a golden flower in that vase? The girl made it that way. Sebastian was wiped from his mind at this point.]

Why is that flower golden? [He knew why. But he wanted to hear it from her. He wanted to know exactly what she did. She seemed odd, what with how her clothing seemed to cover ever inch of her but her face. She may have more things about her that he didn't know.]

I had a dream I was a King

[samuelkennedy-blog]

From Captain to King? That’s quite the upgrade.

[kirklawson]

No kidding. You were there, you know! You were a knight.

[kirklawson]

I had a dream I was a King

I died in the end. I was stabbed in a battle or something, I think.

Other than that, though, it was a pretty good dream. I liked being royalty.

[magic-sebastianmitchell]

I started getting sick this morning and was throwing up something red and I thought it was blood and freaked out but it turned out it was just a mixture of nutella and strawberry poptarts that I ate in the middle of the night. Guess I should pay attention to what I eat more. …I did throw up a lot this morning, though, so I guess I should probably be worrying about that still.

Young Volcanoes - Fall Out Boy

"Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds it’s all over now before it has begun. We’ve already won

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

This all sounds very much up my alley. Please do not forget to include me in the planning if this does become a thing, my friend.

[kirklawson]

I'll keep you in mind when it starts to be discussed.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It all depends on the location, Kirk. I’m mostly just thinking about being poolside or oceanside with a beer and hot girls.

[kirklawson]

Well you're in luck. I heard talk of the Caribbean for this year. The British Virgin Islands, to be specific. It's got all that and more. On this one island there, Jost Van Dyke, that's got this drink that they invited there called a Pain Killer, you know, you're a fan of rum at all. Which you should be if you want to be in the Caribbean.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

You’re too old for that, dude. Too old. Wherever we go, let’s agree now that we’re going to be off-duty, alright? The focus is fun and drinking.

[kirklawson]

Hey, I did say they were annoying. ...So we are going to do something horribly illegal? Because that would really help up the fun factor.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

I could really use a vacation… But, that totally depends on how your family is on vacation.

[kirklawson]

Well, honestly, my parents are horribly annoying. But they're not so bad on vacation. They're easy to get away from. Usually they go off and do their own thing while I do my own thing and all I have to do is show them somehow I'm not dead by the end of the day and I haven't done anything horribly illegal. 

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

Definitely sounds better than the big bunch of nothing I’m going to be doing.

If you don’t end up flying across the world, though, we should make some plans, man.

[kirklawson]

Well if we do end up going somewhere maybe I'll just drag you with me. I'd probably be more entertaining if I brought someone along anyway.

Liquor Me Up, Scotty [MINI PARA] || Sam & Kirk

[samuelkennedy-blog]

[Sam shakes his head at Kirk’s reply, but smiles as he takes a drink.] That’s cool, man. Peanut butter has it’s… uses. [He lifts his eyebrows suggestively before returning to his beer. After another drink, he turns to face Kirk more fully.] Alright. What’s a day in the life of Kirk like? What else do you do other than drink and ‘not date’? Lemme give you an example. I’m a musician—music is my life. When I’m not sleeping in class, I’m playing my guitar. And when I’m not playing alone, I’m playing with my band. And when I’m not playing with them, I’m getting wasted with them. That’s about all there is to know. Now, your turn.

[kirklawson]

[Kirk chuckles and leans back, drumming his fingers.] You know, I'd like to hear your band sometime. Just drag me along when you guys play somewhere. [He smiles and reaches out for his beer to hold and distract his fingers from drumming anymore.] Alright, so, a day in the life of Kirk, well... I'm not anything, unfortunately. So you win in being more interesting. But when I'm not sleeping in class I'm... [he shrugs] Finding people to play ultimate frisbee somewhere with me. Or exercising. Then when I'm not doing that I'm not doing that I'm trying to pass school... usually with Sebastian. That's my tutor. He's this...scrawny little guy with [Kirk points to his own ears.] Big ears and dark hair. [He lets his hand fall.] Other than that I'm picking up women or arguing with my family. [He pulls his beer to his lips and takes a swig.]

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

I completely agree.

Got any big plans for the summer?

[kirklawson]

I don't in particular but my family might. They always like to go on extravagant vacations and they usually drag me along. Last year we went to Australia. Really, the vacations aren't not too bad if I escape and just hang about the locals.

[samuelkennedy-blog]

It's so hot out.

Is it summer, yet? It feels like summer.

[kirklawson]

No, but it should be summer.

[magic-sebastianmitchell]

Now that I've gotten a copy of this key

[magic-sebastianmitchell]

…You just assumed I have no social life whatsoever? Thank you. I’m so glad you thought I was a friendless loser who eats his lunch alone. I go out! I talk to people! I have friends! Like Charlie. Charlie’s my friend. You’re certainly not, though.

[kirklawson]

I dunno I thought maybe you hung out in study groups or something but...no not much else. You can blame it on the fact your all skin and bones and you're deathly pale. You look like a hermit. But I'm mistaken I see! Obviously Mr. Spock is just a thriving social butterfly. Charlie? Charlie... Wait that's the girl who thinks--[looks Sebastian over and rolls his eyes] never mind. Why is she your friend? She's obnoxious to me. And I hurt, Spock! Com'on! We're buds. I like to think we've bonded over study sessions.

[charlie-allen-blog]

But you want to be? I don’t know. Tutee? Ha. That suits you. Uh-huh. Yeah sure. You’re his friend. Okay. That’s how it all starts.

So you find him interesting? Right. So when you unpress your lemon or whatever phrase applies to guys, call me. I need to rub it in your face how I called it from the start.

[kirklawson]

No I don't want to be! You're just impossible... 

Yes, he's not boring. He's got a strange sense of humor that I'll admit I enjoy. Oh, yeah, sure if that ever happens I'll call you so you can get all your gloating out! It's a shame it won't happen, though. Ever!

[charlie-allen-blog]

Yeah. As if being concerned for him is any less gayer than missing him. Whatever, he sounds like a handful then. Maybe you stick around so you can be his knight in shining armor when he fucks up?

So you’re concerned for him because it might ruin your academics if something were to happen to him? And that’s all?

[kirklawson]

I'm not his knight in shining armor. I'm just his...student? What do you call someone who gets tutored by someone? Whatever. I'm his friend. That works. No gay, just friend. I think being his friend allows me to be concerned for him.

Yes! Well...no. If he was wiped off the face of the earth I could just get a new tutor but... I like Sebastian as a tutor. I understand things he explains and he's not boring.
