"What isn’t boring for you, then?”

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"A number of things. But it's one of those if I tell you, I'd have to kill you ordeals I'm afraid."

[brazenxobailey-blog]

"All anyone does around here is complain about how bored they are, and then when I toss out of a perfectly valid suggestion, they shoot it down.  It’s beyond dull.  I never pretended that I play fair, I don’t know why anyone would assume that."

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Well maybe, and I'm just guessing here, people would rather be bored than get their heads blown off. Again. Just guessing. You know me though. I'd let you shoot my head off any day."

[payton-davis-deactivated2014031]

"Like partying and heavy drinking?"

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Sounds like my typical evening but even that can prove to be boring."

Gamble your own life savings away?

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"A tempting offer really but I guess I'm not as risky as some of these idiots. That and I don't fancy the idea of living in a cardboard box."

[brazenxobailey-blog]

"I tried to suggest Russian Roulette a few nights back, but no one seemed to be quite up to that level of gambling."

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Well who the hell would turn that down? Of course if they knew that you played dirty I could see why."

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"As entertaining as it is to watch someone gamble their life savings away there's got to be something else to do."

”No, I’m actually eighty. The miracles of Botox have kept me looking like this.”

(She stopped for a moment, before bursting into chuckles.)

”I’m just kidding you. I’m twenty-two. But I may or may not have been around when it was released, depending on how much you know about people ‘round here. If you catch my drift.”

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"The drift was in fact missed. Care to enlighten me?"

[essie-castell-deactivated201311]

”Yeah, those are good bands. Listened to ‘em when they first came out. Music has gone downhill since then, yeah?”

(She let her hand drop back to her side, and she rocked on her heels as she watched a squirrel run across a tree branch behind him)

”I like your taste in music, Liam.”

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"First came out? You're not pulling some Benjamin Button shit right now are you? Because correct me if I'm wrong but there's no way you're older than twenty-five."

[essie-castell-deactivated201311]

”I’m not going to put you through that kind of torture. Unless you’re a fan of Nirvana, then maybe you wouldn’t mind.”

(She grinned, stopping and crossing one leg in front of the other before holding out her hand.)

”I’m Essie, nice to meet’cha.”

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Believe me when I say I've been through worse- Nirvana's good. I'm a bigger fan of the older stuff though. The Doors, Grateful Dead, The Who. Classics." He leaned over though, shaking the girls hand. "Liam."

[essie-castell-deactivated201311]

(Essie continued down the park’s path, singing to herself as she let her arms swing haphazardly. She stopped when she heard another set of footsteps come up behind her, spinning around and nearly falling on her face. She raised an eyebrow at the stranger, a small grin appearing on her face.)

I’m not the only one out here? I thought I had finally found a safe haven to sing my heart out without putting any poor human being through the torture of hearing my voice.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"No, no. By all means please continue. I could use a little entertainment."

[alice-covalt-deactivated2013100]

"Of course, those charming qualities of yours are out standing, how could someone not recognize them. So, will you show me how the mentos and coke thingy works?" She tilted her head to the side and gave him a small but warm smile of hers.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"I don't know blondie. I know you said you've been skydiving, bungee jumping and all that good stuff but mentos and coke- well that's a pretty big step."

[adrielgrimm]

To hell with that.

[adrielgrimm]

Serious shit, y’know.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"That's what you were talking about right? I can't imagine anything being more upsetting than that."

[adrielgrimm]

To hell with that.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Couldn't agree more. There's no way Kellie Pickler should have won Dancing With the Stars last season."

[beth-harlen]

Oh, boy.

[beth-harlen]

That’s also a really good solution. Can’t really go wrong, there.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"Absolutely not. Practically flawless plan. -So come on then. What's the bullshit?"

[beth-harlen]

Oh, boy.

[beth-harlen]

Obviously. Who do you think I am? Of course I will.

You too? You solve it with alcohol as well?

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"I guess we'll find out, won't we."

[adam-adrift]

the wrong night for pleasantries

[adam-adrift]

The ice steadily continued, contorting around any surface in which a water droplet had made it’s mark. Adam squeezed his eyes shut as he was slammed against the wall again, and while it wasn’t his neck, it was still distressing enough to force an audible gasp of air out of his cringe. With the heat of the boiler on his back again, Adam began to feel desperate to use his trump, grabbing on to the man’s arms and channeling whatever frost he could muster into them. It stung his bare hands with the bite of a numbed chill, but that was the least of his worries at that point. 

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

It took a beat to notice the initial cold. Liam didn't feel much. Not the icy sting of a snow storm or the biting heat of a fire. It was a blessing and a curse all in one. Being unable to feel pain let him continue to push on, however it also made him unaware what his vessel was being put through. Still the pinch of magic sent a shock through his arm enough to cause him to let go. "Shit." Liam muttered, letting the man drop down. His eyes flashed again, preparing for a new approach.

Just won thirty bucks on a slot machine!

[nat-powell-deactivated20131117]

Shit. I think just about anywhere is preferable to the pit, though.

[liam-fallingdown-blog]

"I'll agree with you there. But nah- keep your head down, don't raise suspicion and you should be fine. But for the love of hades don't become boring."
