Jarek: *looking at a book*
Syd: -walks through the house, humming and eating a bowl of pasta that he fixed himself. Comes across Jarek, his ears perking. Walks up to him- Whatcha reading?
Jarek: *smiles up at Syd* I dunno. xD I can't read yet.
Syd: Oh...-smiles and sits next to him, eating some pasta- Let me see? -holds out a hand-
Jarek: *hands over the book*
Syd: -takes the book- The Divine Comedy? Isn't that a little...hardcore for a kit?
Jarek: *tilts his head* I don't know. It might be. xD What's it about? Is it a Comedy?
Syd: Oh...well, I suppose it is...but I've only read the first part.
Jarek: Hell? *thinks* Isn't that were all the bad people go?
Syd: In some religions, yeah. But the sinners in Dante's hell weren't bad, necessarily...like, Virgil and Homer were in hell, but that's only because he died before Jesus was born, so there was no way he could've been saved. Oh...Homer and Virgil were other famous poets.
Jarek: Ohh...okay. *tilts his head* Who's Jesus?
Syd: Uhm... -not sure how to explain it- He's like this guy who was the son of God or something like that...and he lead the Christians...
Jarek: Sounds neat. Where did he lead them? *takes it literally*
Syd: No where...well, maybe he did. -thinks- But, he ruled them. Sort of like a king, but he could preform miracles.
Jarek: Miracles? Sounds like a cool guy. =)
Syd: Uhm...yeah, if you're Christian. -fidgets-
Jarek: I don't think I'm a Christian...I barely know what that is. xD
Syd: Well...you've certainly got a lot to choose from. Just don't get involved in religious warfare.
Jarek: Religious warfare? o_o
Syd: Yeah... -ears perk- But, you don't need to worry about that! You're just a kit, you should just worry about playing and stuff.
Jarek: I know. xD So are there any children's books I can look at? =)
Syd: Oh, yeah. -gets up, looking through the books, pulls out one of Grimms Fairy tales-
Jarek: *looks on* What book is that? =3
Syd: A book of fairy tales... -hands it over- Be careful with it, though. It's old.
Jarek: I will. *puts it down carefully and opens it up to the first page, looking at the pictures*
Syd: -sits back down and watches him, eating his noodles-
Jarek: *finds a story that looks interesting from the pictures* What story is this? *points at a story which is probably a popular and well known fairy tale*
Syd: Goldilocks and the Three Bears...want me to read it?
Jarek: Sure. ^^
Syd: Alright... -picks up the book and begins to read, but keeps it low enough so Jarek can look at it if he wants- Once upon a time, there was this beautiful little girl with golden hair that was walking through the forest. In that same forest, there was a house, in which lived three bears, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear.
Jarek: *listens intently, no questions so far*
Syd: On the very day that Goldilocks was walking through the forest, the three bears were sitting down for breakfast; a big, piping hot, bowl of porridge. The papa bear sat down, anxious for his meal, and took a biiigg bite. But instantly, he spit it out! "My porridge is too hot, mama bear!" He said. Mama took a bite of hers, "My porridge is also too hot!" Baby bear took a bite after her, "Mine is too hot as well!" He said, whimpering.
Jarek: *giggles* They need to let it cool. =D
Syd: -chuckles- They do. So, they went on a walk, and when they came back, their porridge would be cool. Just as they left, Goldilocks came skipping by their cottage. Now, Goldilocks was a growing girl, and, she had been running around all day. Imagine how hungry she was! When she smelled the porridge, her tummy rumbled, and she went to investigate.
Jarek: *listens intently again*
Syd: So, she went up to the cottage, and peered through the window. "What a waste!" She said, "Three perfect bowls of porridge just sitting there with no one to eat them!" So, Goldilocks, with another grumble of her tummy, climbed through the open window, and walked over to the table.
Jarek: Isn't that against the rules? Oo
Syd: Back then, there weren't many rules...this takes place a long time ago. Anyways...the first bowl she went to was Papa's, and it was too hot! The next was mama's, but it was too cold! Then, when she tastes the Baby bears, she let out a squeal of delight, "Wow! This is just right!"
Jarek: So she ate it all up? Poor baby bear. xD
Syd: -nods- She did just that. After she ate the porridge, she was very full, and wanted a comfortable chair to sit in. Lucky for her, the bears had big, fluffy chairs to sit in. So, she went and tried them out. The papa bears was too hard, but the mama bears was too soft! But the baby bear's was just right!
Jarek: *thinks* Did she get eaten up by the hungry bears when they got home? Or maybe she got sleepy because she ate too much. Or maybe both. xD
Syd: Welll, actually.. -continues to read- She was so big, that she broke the little bears chair! But, she was too tired to care, so, she went to bed! Again, she tried the Papa's bed, but it was too long. The Mama's bed was too narrow, but the baby's was just right. So she laid down and fell asleep.
Jarek: *laughs* Wow, I was just thinking that about the chair. xD So now she's asleep. *waits to hear what will happen*
Syd: -smiles- So, of course, the bears came back home. Papa bear was infuriated, "Someone took a bite out of my porridge!" Said Mama and Papa bear. Baby bear sobbed, "Someone took a bite of my porridge...and ate the rest!"
Jarek: *listening*
Syd: When they went over to the chairs, mama and papa bear snarled, "Someone sat in my chair!" Baby bear continued to sob, "Someone sat in my chair, and they broke it!" So, they began to search for the culprit, heading upstairs.
Jarek: Baby bear's not having a good day. *shakes his head*
Syd: -chuckles- He isn't. The bears went up to their bedroom, and, to their surprise, someone had slept in their beds. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!" Mama and Papa bear said. Baby bear let out a wail, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed, and their still in it!"
Jarek: *waits and sees if his being eaten prediction comes true*
Syd: And then the bears, one by one, came up- -stares at the ending, deciding it's a little too graphic for a kit- Annnndd...they all picked up Goldilocks and sent her home. The end!
Jarek: *blinks* Wow. The bears are a lot nicer than I would have thought. xD Did they at least give her a scare before sending her home?
Syd: Well, of course. Imagine waking up surrounded by angry bears, I'd be scared.
Jarek: I would too. I would think they'd eat me for eating their food. Oo
Syd: Me too...but maybe these bears were vegetarians!
Jarek: Vegatarians? Maybe. Probably not the kind that don't like fish though. I heard they love salmon. xD
Syd: Yeah, they do...
Jarek: Don't they eat bugs too?
Syd: Bears? Well, I suppose they do.
Jarek: And someone said they like picnic baskets too, but I don't understand that one. I think it's from something. >.>
Syd: -chuckles- Yogi the bear!
Jarek: Yogi the bear?
Syd: Yeah..it was a cartoon, I used to watch it when I was a kid. He stole picnic baskets...I think.
Jarek: Oh...wouldn't he get in trouble? Or was he a big, scary bear?
Syd: He was a silly bear.
Jarek: Silly? *imagines a silly bear* He sounds funny. xD
Syd: He was, and there was a ranger who would always chase him.
Jarek: Is it still on TV?
Syd: Maybe...
Jarek: Okay. ^^ So which stories from this book are your favorites?
Syd: Hm...red riding hood. -grins-
Jarek: Red riding hood? I think I've heard of that. =3 *wonders if Syd will read it to him*
Syd: Yeah... -flips around in the book and shows him a picture- This one.
Jarek: She's got a basket. =)
Syd: Yup. -blinks- I'll read this one to you when you're older...it's a little scary.
Jarek: Okay. =D *likes the idea of a scary story*
Syd: ...Say, shouldn't you be in bed?
Jarek: ...maybe... xD;
Syd: Hmm... -looks at the clock- Oh...look at the time. You know what happens when kits are up past their bedtimes?
Syd: They get eaten. By seagulls.

Sydney: -is out in front of their house, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Trying to plant flowers-
Jarek: *wanders by to visit, and waves* Hey! =D
Syd: -turns around, grinning when he sees Jarek- Oh, hullo.
Jarek: How're you?
Syd: -shrugs- I'm good, I suppose...though it's gotten boring after you left.
Jarek: It has? That's a shame. D= But it's good that you're good though .
Syd: I suppose it is. -shrugs- But we plan to have children of our own someday, so, I figure it won't be boring for long, right? Anyways...how're you?
Jarek: Pretty good. Though it's pretty loud at the place I'm staying now. @_@ I might just go and find someplace by myself to stay.
Syd: Aw...living on your own is fun, I guess...though it does get a little lonely...maybe you could find a room mate?
Jarek: A roommate? That would be kind of fun. Maybe someone from the place I'm staying who I get along with and wants out of the noise too.
Syd: -shrugs- Yeah, you never know. There might be a few.
Jarek: *nods* Probably. There are a lot of namrah at that house. They all form little cliques too, it's kind of weird.
Syd: It's a microcosm of real life...but I've never lived with more than a few people at a time...
Jarek: I stayed at her house way back, but I don't remember that too well. It's just as noisy as I remember though.
Syd: I lived in an orphanage as a child, but I was too young to notice any clicks. I mostly hung out with my nurse, anyways.
Jarek: You did? *wonders why Syd didn't hang out with the other children*
Syd: Yeah...I was madly in love with her. -smirks- So I thought if I hung out with her I'd get a little action. Of course...my definition of 'action' didn't pass holding hands.
Jarek: Ohh. xD Your first love?
Syd: I suppose so. And she was blonde, too. It's always a blonde!
Jarek: First loves are always blondes? *tilts his head, wondering what his first love will be like*
Syd: No...well, I don't know...every important one is blonde.
Jarek: Ah...okay. *doubts there's a hidden meaning, and thinks* ...I think that there's a girl at the house with weird hair. It's stripped and has dots in it. I wonder how she did that.
Syd: Wow...interesting. One of my boyfriends somehow got leopard spots in his hair. He never told me how he did it, though.
Jarek: Leopard spots? Wow. That's unique.
Syd: Yeah, it was interesting. He was a complete psycho, though.
Jarek: A psycho? O_o Creepy. I don't know if I could date anyone like that... *guessing that people don't willingly date psychos, and that Syd didn't know* In what way was he a psycho?
Syd: Yeah...he was fine in the beginning. We had a real nice relationship. But in the end, it turned out he just used me for drugs and sex. So one day, I came home and found out he smoked all my crack and ate my acid. And then he stabbed me. -decides to leave out the part about almost being raped, but says it in a completely nonchalant manner-
Jarek: Wow. Oo I guess you have to be careful who you date.
Syd: Definitely, and even more careful about who you live with. Just for future reference, love, don't move in with someone you've been dating unless you're absolutely sure they have no seriously dangerous mental disorders, and definitely make sure they don't know how to make a pipe bomb.
Jarek: How can you tell if someone has a serious mental disorder? *wonders if a pipe bomb is a bomb made of pipes*
Syd: Believe me, you can tell...like, if you're gone too long and they threaten to kill themselves, complete mental issue. I think it's called paranoid personality disorder.
Jarek: *blinks* I hope I don't ever date someone like that. I'd be worried that they were going to kill themselves when I break up with them. >.>
Syd: I wouldn't worry about it...most of the girls, and guys, here seem relatively sane
Jarek: *nods* Even if they are a bit hyper. xD
Syd: -chuckles- Ah, well, no matter where you go, you won't escape hyper people.
Jarek: Nope. They can keep up with you with their boundless energy. xD
Syd: Heh...yeah. Sooo, -nudges him slightly- You like anyone?
Jarek: *shakes his head* Nah, no one yet.
Syd: -shrugs- Ah, well, you'll find one soon enough,
Jarek: Maybe. =) Not in much of a hurry though. I don't even know what I want yet.
Syd: Good...you shouldn't be. The longer I'm not a grandfather, the better.
Jarek: Yeah. xD I'm not ready to be a dad yet, that's for sure. *wouldn't want to have kids for a while*
Syd: -sighs with relief- Good...
Jarek: *nods, not sure what eles to say*
Syd: -also not sure what to say- Er...well...how're you adjusting?
To living somewhere else, I mean...*
Jarek: I guess I'm doing alright. Like I said though, it's noisy. And a lot of the namrah are nocturnal, while I'm...not. xD
Syd: Ah...interesting. I used to be nocturnal, but not by choice, but because I worked a night shift.
Jarek: It is interesting...there's a mummy namir there. It's kind of weird to have a real mummy out and about, even if he is nice.
Syd: A...mummy. -stares- oo; Well then..that's new.
Jarek: Yeah, a mummy! Bandages and all. And he can't die, no matter what. He doesn't eat as far as I know either.
Syd: -gulps- That's...great. -thinks- Does he smell bad?
Jarek: *thinks* He smells weird. Not bad, but not good either.
Syd: -shudders- Interesting...
Jarek: *tilts his head* Are you scared of mummies?
Syd: -blushes out of embarassement- Oh...only slightly.
Jarek: Well, they don't really have a good reputation from what I heard.
Syd: No...not at all...I just think they look creepy..anything dead is creepy...
Jarek: *thinks about it and kind of nods* I think he's just strange looking. *kind of got used to him*
Syd: Most mummies are...but there's this one, from the turn of the century. She was a two year old girl who died of typhus, I think...but she's in perfect condition. She looks like a doll..
Jarek: ...now /that/ would be creepy. O_o *doesn't mind the dead that actually look dead* I wonder how she managed to stay preserved.
Syd: She is a little creepy...but it's amazing. The only damage she has is on her skin, it's darkened because of light and air.
Jarek: So how long has she been dead anyway?
Syd: Hm...not too long. I think it was 1900 and something.
Jarek: 1900? So she's about a hundred years old.
Syd: Yeah, something like that.
Jarek: How'd they find her?
Syd: It's in the Palermo catacombs. It's basically a big cave full of mummies.
Jarek: Oh, neat. =)
Syd: Yeah...neat... <.<;
Jarek: Creepy too. xD
Syd: -shudders- Very. I can't imagine wandering through there, surrounded by thousands of dead things...
Jarek: Well, it's not like they're going to attack you or anything.
Syd: ...You never know! Someone could cast a freaky spell that gives them all life.
Jarek: To what purpose?
Syd: I don't know...maybe they'd want to conquer the world with mummies?
Jarek: They don't need the undead, they could just be charismatic and get a bunch of zealots to follow them.
Syd: True... -shrugs- Ah, well, in any case, I won't be going down there for a while.
Jarek: Me either. It's off the island anyway, isn't it? *knows he's trapped to the island*
Syd: Yeah...so there's no way I'd be able to go anyways.
Jarek: *nods* Though given the chance I'd probably say no. I'd more than likely get lost down there...
Syd: Yeah, me too. They'd probably have to drag me in.
Jarek: Who are 'they' anyhow? xD I don't think anyone would offer to bring us there even if we could, and no one to force us down there. *joking around*
Syd: I don't know...anyone who came with me. -shrugs- Yeah, I'd imagine it'd be expensive.
Jarek: I don't think they'd let just anyone in anyway. Imagine if a bunch of kids were just running around, goofing off in there. That wouldn't be very respectful.
Syd: Yeah, true...hm, I wonder how they deal with that?
Jarek: How they deal with what? *tilts his head, thinking that it's probably guarded from kids*
Syd: Yeah...I imagine there's no touching...then again, I don't think you'd want to take a hyperactive kid in there anyways.
Jarek: I don't think they're allowed to be honest.
Syd: Probably not...
Jarek: I mean, I wouldn't let any kids in there. They might get lost and I'd get sued. >.>
Syd: Me neither...I'd be afraid of them getting too scared, too.
Jarek: Especially if they're scared of the dark.
Syd: Yeah...dark and kids usually don't mix.
Jarek: Not unless they're nocturnal.
