The magic doorway

by **Paul Valmont** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 6:17 pm

"Oh," Paul said, feeling chastised. "I'm... sorry. I'll remember that." Way to fumble, dufus.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:30 pm

Elise looked back at Paul, waving her hands. "No no! I don't mean... I..." She was just trying to be cool, but she hadn't meant to come off as unappreciative.

"Um...okay so..." Just tell him! You're still cool even if you like all these things! Elise looked at Wiggles, who was staring at her expectantly, then looked back to Paul.

"I lied. I like pretty things. I like bright colors and rainbows. I like the color pink the most. I like butterflies and kittens and puppies and all of that childish stuff." She blurts out. "I just wanted to be cool."

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 5:42 pm

"I... don't most girls like that stuff?" Paul obviously didn't see what the issue was.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 5:55 pm

"Ugh! That's the point! I don't want to be like every other girl! That's so boring. I want to be cool."

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 5:57 pm

"You are so not like everyone else," Paul laughed, without really thinking about it.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 6:09 pm

Elise thought about it for a moment, and of course, took it the completely wrong way, thinking there was something wrong with her. "Oh..." She said, sounding a bit deflated. Even Wiggles seemed to deflate a bit, looking between the two.

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 6:10 pm

"Wait, what? Isn't that what you want?"

by **Elise Holdrust** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 6:12 pm

"I thought you meant...like...in a bad way," Elise explains.

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 7:21 pm

"What... could be bad about you? Who else can I geek out over my art with?"

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:15 pm

"Mom used to say I'm too *bouncy*. That one day it's gonna get me into heaps of trouble. That I shouldn't focus on girly things because the future is about making money and establishing...well, a future. But yeah, you're right. I mean, not a lot of people appreciate the hard work put into drawings." She says with a nod-nod.

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:24 pm

"I mean, I get the whole 'future' thing. But... what's the point if you have to hide what makes you happy?" Paul looked a little uncomfortable now, and turned and walked over to the waterfall, peeking down over the edge.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:33 pm

"Aww, that's so true!" Elise said with a smile, departing from the shoreline and heading over to where he was. She peeked as well.

"Holy bajeezes! We're up pretty high!"

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:37 pm

"Yeah, we don't want to fall over that. But... wow is it a view." He looked at her and smirked a little. "Feeling inspired now?"

by **Elise Holdrust** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 7:36 pm

"Pft, it wouldn't be a big deal if we fell. I mean, I can fly, you can teleport. So like...there's really no danger."

Butbut...you don't have complete control over flying yet! You could totally fall!
I can do it!

"Anyway, yeah, this is *totes* inspiring. I love the way the water turns to mist down there. It's awesome."

by **Paul Valmont** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 8:18 pm

"Oh, yeah. But- ooh, look at it like this." He hurried back from the edge, then laid down on his stomach, looking right at ground level where the river hit the rocks at the edge and kicked up a spray.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:05 pm

Elise heads over to him. What he was doing wasn't crazy at all to her, though it may seem strange to other people. It made total sense. She drops down to the same level and watches. "Oh..." She smiles wide, looking at the scene before her with excited eyes. "This is perfect!"

by **Paul Valmont** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 10:50 pm

"I used to come out here to think," Paul said rolling over and looking upside-down at the waterfall. "Not sure why. Just thought of it one day, and after that it was just what I always did."

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:12 pm

"It's a pretty relaxing place to think. I mean, you've got the sound of the water, no one bugging you, the sky is really pretty too. So that may be why," Elise said as she watched the water. Wiggles decided to trot up and jump onto Elise's back, curling into a ball. It's warm here too! Perfect for a nap! Elise laughed. "Wiggles apparently thinks it's a perfect nap spot, too."

by **Paul Valmont** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:27 pm

He smirked. "Maybe for a fox. I'd wake up and find something crawling on me and freak out right off the cliff, I think." He rolled over onto his side to look at her better. Which, of course, led him to think about the position they were in and turn bright red again.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:58 pm

Elise continued looking out, resting her chin in her hands. "Like Frankie? I still feel pretty bad about him being douchey like he was at the training. He loves to freak people out at the expense of my embarrassment." She turned and looked at him, not seeming to think anything about the position until she saw his face as red as it was. This, in turn, caused her own cheeks to brighten. "U-um..."

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 1:42 am

"Y-yeah, that... must have been pretty embarrassing," he agreed, shifting to super-lame in his awkward state. God, she's pretty, he thought, which only made him feel even more awkward. "It's okay, though. I mean, no big deal, right? All done with," he babbled, faster than normal, as he started wondering if he needed to find himself an escape path.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:05 am

"Yeah, definitely! Like...I mean...yeah," She replied, babbling as well. "I guess in the end it's really Frankie that looks like the ass and not me. I mean, even if he is part of me. That's...uh...so weird to think of." She says, trying her best to keep the conversation not awkward. Considering her sputtering a bit, she wasn't doing too well, at least on her end.

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:12 am

"Oh, yeah, you totally didn't look at your ass. I-i mean, look like an ass. I mean-" He broke off, grasping for what he was supposed to have meant, since he really had gotten it right that second time. Instead, he just ended up silent, with a kind of deer-in-headlights look.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:18 am

Elise nods. "Y-yeah, definitely." Her face turned a bit more red and for a brief moment her eyes began to wander before she quickly turned her head back towards the water. "S-so yeah. Um...OH! Thanks again for the uh...for the henna. You said it was going to last for a bit, right?" More attempts at less awkwardness.

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:25 am

"Yeah, it should," he agreed, and oddly that kind of helped distract him enough that he could talk something resembling normally. "Helps if you put lotion on it every day. So did you still like how it looks? Or did you want to try somewhere else?" And that, of course, made him think of the drawing of it, which made him turn red again...

by **Elise Holdrust** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:37 am

"Oh, um..." Elise sticks out her tongue as she thinks. "I think it looks nice where it is. Not that it matters too much. Wiggles hasn't really gone back since she appeared." I like being with you! You meet the most awesome people and have so much fun and we go on adventures!

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 8:08 am

"Well, figure it out, because I don't think she'll want to be gone too long," Paul said, smirking a little.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 9:09 am

Ohmygoshyes. I can't be gone too long! I have to watch over you! Elise smiled at what Wiggles said, then looked at Paul again with a smile. "I think you hit the nail on the head there."

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 11:07 am

"Guess we need to find a good place for getting tattooed, don't we," he said with an amused smile.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:21 pm

Elise nodded excitedly. "I'm used to my old artist. He was *totes* amazing. I don't think anyone could really compare, but I haven't actually like, looked."

by **Paul Valmont** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:33 pm

"And he's in New York?" he asked, thinking.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:29 pm

"Yup! Walking distance from where I used to live, too. Pretty awesome, right? When I'd skip gym class I'd go there instead and practice drawing."

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:38 pm

Paul thought about it. "We... need to look at a map. We... might be able to go see him? Maybe. We'll have to see where he is and if I can go anywhere close to it."

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:41 pm

Elise looked excited. "That would be *totes* amazing. But...seriously, you don't have to do anything like that. I mean, I'm sure you've got like, tons of things to do. You've done more than enough between the henna, just being cool, and well," She motions around them. "This. Thanks, Paul." She smiles at him.

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:43 pm

He blushed and shrugged. "Well, I mean, what else am I going to do? Homework?" He shook his head, laying back on the ground. "Oh, I know, I could go hang out with that psycho chick with the pink hair. Yeah, that sounds great," he added with a smirk. "But we don't have to if you don't want."

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:51 pm

"Oh, no no. I definitely want to. But I don't want it to like...seem like I'm taking advantage of your cool power." Awww I don't think he'd think that! Why would he offer otherwise? Elise looks back at Wiggles and smiles for a moment.

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 4:15 pm

"Well, I don't know any places in London. And you know that guy. And at least this way we know it won't be some weird skeevy place that'll screw it up, right?" Paul said, totally not covering up for his desire to show off.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 4:25 pm

She nods. "You're right. When you find a good artist, it's best to stick with them."

by **Paul Valmont** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 5:07 pm

"Yeah. So, y'know, it's better to do it like this," Paul said, nodding seriously. "Just as long as I can do it... where in New York are you from, anyway?" Did I ever ask that? I hope I hadn't asked that yet...

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:17 am

"Queens! It's really pretty. The best part is the Unisphere. It's got fountains all around it. Seriously a really awesome piece of architecture. It's also really relaxing to chill out by."
