Nothing Gold Can Stay

Lydia McIntosh || 21 || Erudite || Taken "Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven." I love synonyms and nature. Oh, and my wonderful fiance Cian, him too.

[littlemskittykat]

Erudite? I could of sworn I saw you in Amity.

[lydia-rodgers]

Ah, well I was there for a time.  It's such a beautiful place.

[enigma-kaylabenton]

So, I’m guessing you took a field trip of some sort?

[lydia-rodgers]

And that would be a correct assumption.  Kind of.  I just went on a little adventure.

[lydia-rodgers]

Well it sure is wonderful to be back in Erudite...

[ramification-ramsey]

Turned In That Paper...

[ramification-ramsey]

Well hey there, Lydia. I know, it seems the Amity and Dauntless have all the fun. Who’s to say we can’t now and again? 

Well.. there was this old bottle I found in a storage area in the kitchens.. 

[lydia-rodgers]

I vote we have fun.  Fun it is?

Yessss!  I've been waiting for a drink forever!

[scripturientemma-blog-blog]

Just got off the phone with my dad.

[scripturientemma-blog-blog]

I’m guessing you’re familiar with grossly overprotective father figures then? Because I’m suffocating.

[lydia-rodgers]

Grossly overprotected could be one way to put it, yeah.  Trust me I feel you.

[littlemskittykat]

What do you like?

[lydia-rodgers]

I like surprises.  Totally up for a surprise.

[lydia-rodgers]

[eleanor-elle-channing-deactivat]

Are all of you alcoholics?

[lydia-rodgers]

Only the fun ones.

[scripturientemma-blog-blog]

Just got off the phone with my dad.

He doesn’t agree with my life choices, as usual. What’s new?

[lydia-rodgers]

We might just have the same father.  That's new.

[lydia-rodgers]

*leans against the outside of a building, head in her hands*

[littlemskittykat]

Um…I can buy some for you?

[lydia-rodgers]

Oh you beautiful, wonderful, kind, sweet, beautiful Amity.  Gotta love Amity.  Yes please!

[ramification-ramsey]

Turned In That Paper...

I can have a life again, so where’s the party at?

[lydia-rodgers]

We're Erudites and proud though, we don't get lives love.  It's in the job description.  If you wanted a party you shoulda' joined Amity.

Just kidding.  If you find booze...  Sharing is caring.

[lydia-rodgers]

*leans against the outside of a building, head in her hands*

[littlemskittykat]

I have tea?

[lydia-rodgers]

...  That is so not at all what I meant.  Like a drink drink.  Like alcohol.  Anything.

[lydia-rodgers]

*leans against the outside of a building, head in her hands*

Ugghhhh...  Who can get me something to drink...

[gabriella-walsh]

This rain is getting on my damned nerves. 

[lydia-rodgers]

Why, it's just water.  We need water to live.

[lydia-rodgers]

I-I need a book...

[kris-woodley]

[Laughs loudly] Like that’s going to happen. Look at you, those clothes, there’s no way that you’d get your hands on a weapon. 

[lydia-rodgers]

Never said I had a gun did I?  We Erudites have our own special kinds of weapons that you can only try to imagine.  And fail to even in your wildest messed up dreams.  So try me if you dare dauntless.

[lydia-rodgers]

I-I need a book...

[kris-woodley]

You tell me. [he stretches his arms up, pulling his shirt up, making his gun visible]

[lydia-rodgers]

*heart races but she smirks, mind racing as well*  How do you know you're not the only one holding a weapon under your shirt hm?

[louis-cadwell]

Well then.

[louis-cadwell]

That’s true, and to think we could have gone all this time and never even met. It makes you realize how many people are actually in Erudite. I’ve been working at it, but it’s not exactly a problem that can be fixed in just a couple days, it takes time unfortunately.

[lydia-rodgers]

Well there are a ton I suppose.  Which is good, the more brains the better I think.  Well as long as you're striving towards bettering it then I guess it's not a problem.  At least it's something you can work on, some aren't that lucky.

[james--bradley-deactivated20140]

And we're back.

[james--bradley-deactivated20140]

Right, of course. Booze isn’t necessary L, I’m so tired I’ll probably just pass out on you right away. I don’t care what color it is as long as it’s comfortable.

[lydia-rodgers]

Oh-Right...  Sorry.  That's alright, in fact that'll make me happy.  You really need to sleep more James.  Alright then I'll bring the most comfortable pink blanket you've ever seen.
