Mikey looked up as he heard someone enter the room, he noticed the girl who'd just sat down, and flashed her a small smile before looking back down to his drawing.

Lara only registered the fact that Mikey was even there as he lifted his head to notice the fact that she was there. A slight blush and shy grin. Amber-brown eyes returned to her page...
By the time the little red boat that the three women had chosen for their perilous voyage had emerged from the shelter of the islands, and was out in the open waters, the waves were as steep as cliffs, twenty-five, thirty feet tall.

Mikey continued to doodle randomly, all over the page his sketchbook was open to. Glancing around the room every once in awhile, possibly looking for inspiration to draw something more than random doodles.

As she eagerly read her new book, Laramie started humming to herself. It was a habit she had picked up...god only knew where. Sometimes, in the midst of the humming, a few lyrics of whatever song Lara currently played in her head would escape her lips -- "Your lips are a hot flame baby and our chemistry is kerosene..."

Mikey raised an eyebrow and looked over to the girl as he heard her singing quitely, amused by the lyrics of the song. He looked back down to his drawing after a moment.

Lara giggled to herself, she was a bit of an odd one. Her left hand conducted the inaudible music, right holding open the thick hardcover book, head bobbing gently.
"As the new day dawns, I can see the sun. And I'm in anticipation of good things to come. So this is how it feels, to be a part of something real, to be a part of something greater than I know..." She sang softly, her slender fingers tapping out the beat on the words of Clive Barker.

(( ninja I know that song... it's by a band called All Left Out, from New Zealand, right..?))
Mikey grinned, this girl was rather intreasting, and being in need of something to do other than randomly doodle, he turned to a fresh page in his sketchbook and began to sketch the girl.

|| Holy triscuits! That's so awesome that you know them! rofl ||
Lara was completely immersed in her book, thusly Mikey's attention toward her went unnoticed. The soundtrack in her mind had evidently switched, because she started to sing a completely different tune abruptly in the middle of singing her current one.
"Just like the sound of talk radio at 2:17 AM, she says: 'Do you make moments last forever? Are you the guy who says he comes with nights that never end?' And just like with every sunrise, we'll think - Is this what we envisioned? Always wanted?"

(( whee I met the guitarist, Dave, at Warped Tour back in August.. he was really cool, and I liked what I heard, so I bought their cd))
Mikey sat quietly in his corner, continuing the sketch of the facinating girl. He glanced over at her every once in awhile, as he continued to draw.

||Haha! No way! So did I! xd Well...I don't know if it was Dave. But I met one of them at Warped. 3nodding ||
Laramie glanced up and took a moment to observe Mikey. She'd slowly come to the realisation that she'd been singing out loud again. Her eyes narrowed a bit to help her see through the ambience lighting. The realisation that she was the subject of his scrit-scritchings began to dawn upon her, a blush joining in. Her eyes quickly shifted to her book...
"Somebody sent this storm," said Joephi, who was doing her best to steer the boat, which was called The Lyre. The sail shook like a leaf in a tempest, swinging back and forth wildly, nearly impossible to hold down. "I swear, Diamanda, this is no natural storm!"

(( Dave is the the short one with really pretty blue eyes ^_^ ))
Mikey set his pencil down after awhile and began to rummage through his bag, after a moment he pulled out a pen and began to carefully go over the lines he'd already drawn.

||Probably was him...all I remember is that while I was listening to the CD, I made comments, and he held up little signs to respond. It was amazing. heart ||
Lara was getting a bit nervous again...she was incredibly shy around people she didn't really know. Thus, with little hurried glances given toward Mikey, she read on...
Diamanda, the oldest of the three women, sat in the center of the tiny vessel with her dark blue robes gathered around her and their precious cargo pressed to her bosom. "Let's not get hysterical,"she told Joephi and Mespa. She wiped a long piece of white hair out of her eyes. "Nobody saw us leave the Palace of Bowers. We escaped unseen, I'm certain of it."

(( xD yeah, that's what Dave did.. I thought it was a great idea, that was part of why I bought the cd ))
In no time at all, Mikey had finished inking the picture. He scribbled a signature down at the bottom of the page, before carefully tearing it from his sketchbook.

||Frickin' hilarious. My friend Alison and I were immediately hooked. xd ||
Laramie stopped reading altogether, Mikey was making her rather self-conscious. She sighed a bit and bookmarked her page, feigning the 'staring into space' facial expression while still watching him out of the corner of her eye. Lyrics started coming again, of their own accord.
"This is morning...it's when I spend the most time thinkin' 'bout what I've given up..."

((I was the only one of the group of friends I was with that bought it, but Dave suggested that I burn copies for both of my friends xD we laughed so hard about that later on, I mean really.. the artist telling you to pirate their music... I thought it was hilarious))
Mikey looked down at the picture as he took a sip of his coffee, after a moment he began to rummage through his bag once more, this time pulling out a few markers. He'd decided it looked far to plain with no color, and began to quickly color in the picture.
