Re: The Ye Old Shoppe o' Curiosities (An OpenBook Production)

A princess? But I didn't need that nudge Molly...
"Good morning Mrs Flowars, good morning morning Mrs Dengles," my British accent came through rather thickly as I curtsied, smiling and keeping my eyes nice and friendly.
If there was one thing that I have learnt from all of the drama classes that I have had, it's how to keep a straight face whilst acting and especially if I just went British... I hadn't done that in ages. Oh well, at least it was Southern and so reasonablely posh.

Molly: As we left the ladies to thier tea I began scanning the room for the lookers, the boys of course. It seemed that none of the girls had arrived yet, perfect. " Nice accent my friend..." I mumbled at Robin.
Strangely all the boys looked really familliar, but I couldn't place them, where had I seen them?

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:27 pm

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Lost Boys?

"Yeah, it comes every now and again," I shrugged, looking at the boys. I had seen them before, I swear.
Shooting a look to Molly, I was wondering if she knew what I was thinking. There was only one way to seal the deal though...

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:34 pm

yuppers!boy! you're quick!
Molly: I looked at her raising my eyebrows, "You see what I see, don't you....?" I asked slowly and only loud enough for her to hear.

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:48 pm

I've been thinking it for days! Lol, I'm psychic.

I nodded, "The Lost Boys..."
They were all there, well, expect the one that looked a bit like Nerdy Fergie; he wasn't there. Oh well.
"Do we converse or do we let them approach?" I asked, pretending to be admiring a piece of artwork on the wall instead. What? I didn't want to come across as a noob.

(I have an idea for Ferg.)

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:52 pm

lol yes!
(okay but atleast have him mildly goodlooking, somethig I could drool over...happily)
Molly: I pretended to be looking at the same piece of artwork, "We should walk over and act oblivious, they can be all smug and maybe we can get some answers out of them, but cleverly. I actually like this..." I say mentioning the art at last.

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:05 pm

Don't worry, I was just going to have him do something but I'll do it in a bit Wink

I nodded in agreement, "It is quite nice..." she trailed off before snapping back into reality, "Anyway, yes, I suggest that we do that. Should we just be talking to each other about this work, y'know like I quickly Google this and then we converse or shall we try and be normal?"
I looked back to the painting and sighed; it would look good in the living room actually. I think I may have to chav this...

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:08 pm

k

"Nah, I've seen it a million times, I know everything about it. The ladies talk nonstop of it. One of thier sons, graduated and married, painted it, quite a lovely ocean scene. Ooooo, I want that one.." I mumbled turning to see a really cute guy near us. "Dibs."

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:33 pm

"We'll have to see, won't we? Honestly, as long as they're good-looking and not up-themselves and not freakishly small, I'm fine."
She laughed sligtly before retaining herself. She noticed one with curly chestnut hair looked her up and down as she did so with a smile... He's cute.
"And anyway, shall we start Mission Lost Fellas?" I asked, smiling again, "Come on, before any other girls walk in."
People have always said that I had an amazing grin but I never really thought so. Anyway, we'd have to see if it worked or not.
"Good morning Mrs Flowars, how are you? I take it as Elliot and Camilla are alright?"
I knew that voice... Yeah, I'm sure. Just not as snotty or gerky.
"They're marvollous Ferguson!" she smiled, blushing slightly, "How are you?"
"I'm feeling rather well, thank you," he bowed before walking over to the group of boys forming.

I looked at Molly and then to the clear-skinned, ginger haired boy, "That's Fergie?"
He was so the hottest one there! It couldn't be him, could it?
"You've already called dibs."

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:39 pm

Molly: I felt my jaw drop open, "Hey, I get to keep my nerd. He liked me before, I'm allowed to dib him as well because of the pre liking." I said making it sound like a rule. I took a deep breath brushed off Robin playfully and straightened my back. "This is how it's done." I said with a grin. I sauntered over to the group of guys acting like I was looking at the art work and skillfully tripped over a leg of a chair catching the attention of all the guys. I fluttered my lashes as if in shock and blushed.
"Oh my, oh.. I-I didn't mean to, I'm so stupidly clumsey!" I said getting up slowly acting as if I didn't see all the guys staring at me. I let the front of my dress hang a bit low and tried to walk faking a small limp and a whimper. Soon I surrounded by a few boys asking if I was all right, including Fergy. I batted my lashes and beckoned for Robin to come over see her poor injured friend.

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:49 pm

She didn't even have classes...
"Molly! I do hope you're alright," I stood at the side next to the two cutest guys, "Excuse me."
"I'll help with that."
My eyes turned to see Fergie helping Molly up, his face full of concern. Most of the other guys knew that it was over; she had the cutest guy there.
"Are you alright Molly? Didn't break anything?" he chuckled.
I melted; he was gorgeous and he liked Molly. Craaaaa...

by **Cali** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:52 pm

(sorry to bother ya'll but OTD. can u reply to Shadow Wolves?)

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:53 pm

Molly: I Looked at my ankle and back up and nodded. "It hurts a bit, but I'll be fine. I really should be more carefull, I really need to learn how to get some balence.. Fergy? Is that you?" I asked even knowing it was Fergy, dramatic effect and all.
I gave Robin a secret victory look that could just be a reassuring look to anyone else.
I knew it killed her that I got the guy she wanted, that little look would rub salt into the wound... I held back my grin.

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:09 pm

"Glad to see she's alright at least," I sighed, ignoring the look that she gave me to look at a few of the other guys. So, awkward?

Okay 'cause I'm controlling Fergie, could you control my guy?

And I gtg.

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:12 pm

no problem, only seems fair.
which one do you want?
bye!

by **OpenTheDoor** Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:20 pm

Surprise me Wink

Just make him dark haired and cute. Maybe the curly haired one that was looking at her earlier. You may choose the name too.

by **bookcrazI** Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:25 pm

Johnny: I sat off staring out through the window. I really wished I wasn't here, but to be a good bro I came. He says, it'll be fun your mom is party of the commity too, lets do it together! Now he's off feigning to be sick while I have to stay here and plot his demise, will it be pantsing in a public place or having a pie thrown at his face while being pants only to be hung upside down? hmmmm, desicions desici-
I looked up to see quite a fine gal glaring at what I assumed was her frined, after an innitial up down she seemed to be worth my time. I ran a hand through my black hair and waited for her to notice me, sooner or later.

by **OpenTheDoor** Sun Jan 09, 2011 7:05 am

J'aime.

"I do hate ginger hair though... I prefer it darker..." I muttered, looking around the room and stopped on a guy. Hmm...dark hair, cute, looking bored.
I quickly looked back to Molly who seemed to be loving every minute whilst almost every guy was watching... I could slip away and talk to him?... Worth a shot at least.
Looking around to see if anyone was watching, I looked at the painting on the wall near him before walking over. Shame Google was down for my phone. At least I could take a look at something finer.
Sweeping a look at the boy, I decided that he was rather cute and surely worth my time. He probably was up-himself then...but then again the ones that were were talking to the girls that came in. Twins. Great. I better be quick.
"The light and dark produced in this is rather fine, don't you think?" I asked, my accent coming through rather thick.
My eyes stayed fixed on the painting before sweeping over to him again. My eyes as soft as I could make them, I offered him a friendly smile before looking back to the oils.

by **bookcrazI** Sun Jan 09, 2011 6:08 pm

merci boucoup Razz

or
murky buckets Razz

Johnny: I hide my grin as the girl noticed me, now to be smooth. "Yes, the message the artist is trying to convey shows very clearly through the use of balence and repitition, the movement also conveys what the artist was feeling at the time." I said smoothly without pausing.
Thank god for art class, I was pretty sure I read that off the description in the corner though. I gave the girl another up down for good measure and decided she was worth a little talk, with an accent like that I could possibly suffer through it. I placed my hand under my chin and assumed the thinker's pose for good measure, these debutuant girls were quite picky. I had to dress up and everything, I was going to go in jeans and a hoodie but no, it had to be black dress pants and that blue button up shirt that matched my eyes. I was kind of grateful my mother made me wear it, it certainly caught attention.

by **OpenTheDoor** Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:13 am

Robin: He knows about this? Dammit.
"Quite," I smiled, "Though it is bearing a rather large contrast to the artist's earlier pieces where the colours seem to be more subtle whereas with this piece it's bolder. According to historian's it dates back to when their children where born."
I had no idea, I could have been making a donut of myself, something that I did often around a cute guy; black hair and blue eyes are a combo too. I searched his face quickly, trying not to smirk from his pose.
"So, you appreciate fine art?" I let the smirk take over my face, "Though I'm sure everyone does here."

Fergie: What is she on?
"Yes, it's me. Surely you can recognize my face from all of those biology lessons where we were partners?" I chuckled, "Anyway, I didn't know that you were a debutante? Especially after all this time I've had to go with other girls... But I think the best thing is seeing Robin in a dress."
I quickly looked over to the guy on the otherside of the room; he came with someone else most likely because he wasn't with the group.
"At least she's getting into things, eh? Enough about her, what about you? You look amazing."

by **bookcrazI** Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:23 pm

Johnny: "Not really I just was staring at that picture for three hours straight and decided to google it, by the way most of you said was really a bunch of bs.." I grinned. She liked me, the fake smarts proved it, I smirked proudly.
gimme a sec

by **bookcrazI** Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:47 pm

Johnny: (continued.) " Although I do happen to appreciate fine art none the less..." I said giving her a slow down so she'd notice.

Molly: I blushed, È Thanks, It took me forever to try and get her in the dress, even more to come to this although I think the fact that it was a challenge was what drew her in. Iève been a debutaunt for years, well the pagenty part of it.È I smiled at him and glanced at Robin, nice choice.

by **OpenTheDoor** Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:20 am

Robin: I found myself violently blushing, something that didn't help with the green of my dress down to Christmas not coming for ages.
"I do improv. mostly and so that kind of comes from," I smiled losing the posh of my voice but still retainee the Brit accent, looking to the floor, "and my phone's network won't let me get on there. My friend told me all that I know about another piece of work that I was going to Google though so I guess great minds think alike, eh?"
Okay, that was pretty terrible but he was cute, what could I say? He was better than the Everwood twins put together.

Fergie: I nodded, "But I'd prefer to talk about you then her; she never has anything nice to say anyway. So, you do the pagents? That's cool but I never knew that."
She was so interesting, more than I had ever figured out before. I liked her, half of the school knew that but now I had a chance of being with her, finally. The second best part was seeing her friend's face.
I didn't notice other girls trying to talk loudly near me, trying to get my attention, something that annoyed half of the boys here. Molly was just...perfect.

by **bookcrazI** Tue Jan 11, 2011 6:28 pm

Johnny: I sighed. "Well, you can get in if you know the password I don't think your friend mentioned that. if we assume your friend is like my friend then you'd probably be a bit miffed at her right now." I said with a steady grin. She was funny, I liked that, it was also kinda cute the way she blushed.

Molly: I blushed and had to restrain myself from looking away bashfully. " I've been in pagents for years, not that I enjoy them alot but my mom does. Since when have you been in the pagent bussiness though, I haven't seen you in any of the shows or anywhere near these buildings before." I said smiling. Partly because I was enjoying myself the other part that the girls around us looked a bit peeved that I got to talk to Fergie and not them.

by **OpenTheDoor** Tue Jan 11, 2011 6:41 pm

Robin: He got dragged here too? Ot seemed so, but I like to clarify things.
"Nah, I never really am, plus I owe her apparently. Miffed off is how I felt yesterday when everything seemed to be crazy," I sighed, "More to the point, you came for support with a friend too? I guess for me it's a little more obvious to the fact that I'm following her like her more stumbley shadow."
A small smirk came to my face though it had toned down to a lighter sort of rougue than before.

Fergie: "My mother; she runs most of them and enters my sister in them. I don't really go, only when I'm looking for a couple at the celebrations and so on. I'm not in the pagents, I'm more of this sort."
I wasn't the best at explaining things, especially since I was getting a little hot under the freshly pressed collar.
