Whiteknight: Hi all Princess: Hugs Morisis: Hey Flower: Hugs Knight Specter: Hi WK Striper: Did you hear? Froggy was frognapped. Whiteknight: She was? Froggy, are you okay? Froggy: I’m getting there Morisis [»] Whiteknight: Froggy tells me you used your connections with the police to help look for her. Thanks. Whiteknight [»] Morisis: You’re welcome Whiteknight [»] Froggy: How are you really? Froggy [»] Whiteknight: I’ll make it. I’m Unseelie. We aren’t as fragile as you fair folk Froggy [»] Whiteknight: ;) My strength is returning quickly. My boss was ready to rip me a new one until I said I’d been kidnapped. He said it still would have been nice if I’d called. As if I had a choice, ffs. Whiteknight [»] Froggy: Idiot. Those vitamins seem to help fight the effects of iron. I’ll send you a link to where you can order them Froggy [»] Whiteknight: Thanks Flower: Froggy, do you live near that serial killer? Do you think it might be him? Froggy: I hope. I’d hate to think there was more than one sicko in this town. It’s not that big Striper: I was reading about that elf dude today. He’s believed to be in that area. Maybe he’s involved Froggy: He is involved. He’s helping the police look for the killer Striper: They trust him? Flower: That was rude. How do you know he isn’t just someone with a birth defect? Specter: He’s over 1000 years old and works magic. What birth defect does that? Princess: There are plenty of people who claim to work magic. He looks like our idea of a mythological being of magic. Maybe he decided to live that out rather than just being labeled as a “weird” looking guy. Specter: But he’s 1000 years old Flower: Prove it. He makes that claim, but if he’d been around that long, we’d have heard something. Some conspiracy nut with pictures or something Specter: Maybe Princess: Just because he’s different doesn’t make him bad. I know some people think he’s trouble. But others believe he’s something special. I’d bet he’s just like everyone else and not much different from you and me. You can’t tell until you know him Flower: Froggy, did you meet him? Froggy: yeah, I did. He was a lot nicer than I expected. And yeah, I trust him Whiteknight [»] Froggy: Thanks Froggy [»] Whiteknight: Thanks for driving around looking for me Striper: WK, what do you think? Whiteknight: I think I’m going to keep quiet Striper: But you’re typing, not talking. You aren’t making any noise Froggy: Unless he has to sound out all the words Whiteknight: ouch Whiteknight: I think he can’t help how he looks or what he is. I think he just wants to live his life and be left alone. I think there are plenty of humans to worry about rather than one lone elf. Striper: Fanboy? Whiteknight: The elf wasn’t the one to kidnap Froggy. That was a human. Yet some people are making a big deal about someone who has lived quietly and kept his head down. Don’t judge someone because they’re different. Judge them on what they’ve done. Whiteknight: I’m not the elf’s fanboy. I’m just tired of people judging by looks. In here we all look the same, letters on the page. Let’s keep it that way Princess: I think knight’s right. Flower: I agree Striper: You’re right. There are plenty of arguments on both sides, but until we know him, we can’t say. Sorry for causing problems. I’ll go. Whiteknight: Stiper wait Whiteknight: Stiper Whiteknight: Stripr Striper: lol Whiteknight: I quit Whiteknight: STRIPER Striper: poor knight Whiteknight: As I was saying, don’t go. We won’t always agree with each other, but we still get along. What art have you done lately? Striper: nothing worth showing Froggy: Show anyhow Striper: give me a moment to find something Striper Posted a picture Whiteknight: That’s pretty good Flower: I don’t know why you didn’t want to show that Striper: It’s not what I’d pictured, but I guess it’s close Whiteknight: Keep working on it. You’ll get it. We don’t need to finish an image in a day, or even a week Striper: I’m going to put it aside and come back to it another time with fresh eyes Princess: Just don’t forget to come back to it Striper: Me forget? Never Whiteknight: Oh, no? Did you finish that rocker piece? Princess: Or that pinup with the guitar? Flower: or that couple singing together? Striper: lol I’m still getting fresh eyes Princess: Uh-huh The phone rang, causing me to jump. Whiteknight: night all. Phone The phone call was from Lorraine, just wanting to talk. Her ex-husband had been in the bar, and she needed someone to vent to. I offered to come over, but she was too tired for company, so we talked until she’d calmed down.
