Condensation

"I don't know. I'm bad at this! The first time I tried to get a guy to like me, he ended up condemning me as a witch!" A doubt brushed her mind, but she shrugged it off.

"Sorry. Um... you could try to do something for her?"

Well, most of the time.

Aight, bye. Adios! I'm out of here.

"I get the feeling she doesn't hate us. She just hasn't noticed our depth of character yet. Y'know? So maybe try to get her to notice something about you, one of your good qualities? She seems to appreciate fighting skills."

Y'all are wrecking my fun! C'mon, please? If not, I'll go post on TLT instead to get Community Queen.

"Well, I'm guessing a lot of this. I think they probably don't often think about how they feel, unless they get reminded. Less introspective, you know? Um..." she paused for a moment, thinking. "Like I said, I'm guessing most of this. I'm not pessimistic, if you couldn't tell." She grinned. "They probably appreciate being left alone when they want it, and they don't like being assumed about."

Then perhaps above thy station?

Okay. I'll add them to my list and tell my little brother about them. Thanks!

Melody gasped. "I knew it! Okay. What do you mean, how do they work? Like, how do they think?"

Quite unsporting of you, I should say. Would there be any other brave individual present and willing to raise themselves above their birth?

"Okay. Shoot!"

*bows* But you can still be here, just like I am. I'm just not a part of the club. YOU CAN'T DEFINE ME!!!

Wouldst thou raise thyself to speak at my level? I endeavour to heighten the language of this thread.

I'm confident as well, but with good reason. Just because you know your worth(or under-estimate it, because a lot of people do that) doesn't mean that you have an overly high opinion of yourself.

Good sir and madam, I believe that you are mistaken. It is quite evident that I, the honourable Lady Con, am the winner.

I guess I need to summon some Princess Bride fans. @Mist and @Vapor, have you voted yet?

Are you kidding? You're so humble! Not that you can't be here, (after all, I'm in the Socially Awkward Bookworms cult club) but you don't need to be.

Minuet had searched in every direction, but she couldn't see anyone heading for them. It was probably safe to climb down - she'd looked far enough that it would take a long time to sneak up on them - but she didn't really want to. Why did I even set out with this group? I've just made their dangerous journey even more dangerous! It was nothing short of idiotic. When will I learn that my choices affect people other than me? And when will I be able to get over myself and leave this group to their quest, making it harder yet less dangerous? But she wasn't ready to leave yet. So she stayed. Which, really, proved that she didn't care all that much about them. If she really cared, she'd leave. But she cared about the adventure and the help she might be able to give them. I'm just talking myself around in circles. Stay, or don't. She'd stay, then. She nodded briskly once and climbed down from the tree.

*gasp* Yes!!! Okay. So happy. Melody took the flower and held it for a moment, staring at it, then shrugged. "I'll hold onto it for a bit. We'll be back soon!" She tucked the flower into her hair and followed Ellis toward the city, waving back at Gerald and Q with a smile.

Zola took the notebook and pen, then flipped through the notebook to make sure there was nothing in it. When she'd seen that there wasn't, she grinned. A clean slate! Well, notebook. But same difference.

Ah. Sounds pretty cool. Do I have to watch it in order?

"Yeah, that would all make sense. But why would the Author want Melody's memories to be gone? And once she found them, couldn't the Author just take them away again?" "For the story, of course!" piped Capella. @Nameless
