#anywhere

"Dad thinks she's got me on a fad health diet, and sneaks me snacks." It's a hostess cupcake, the chocolate kind with the swirl on top. And not even dusty, or expired. "Too sweet for me, though. Rot out all my teeth."

"Dude, you sure? These things are fucking awesome."

He pauses, then gives her a wide mouth grimace- greyish, toothless gums and all, tongue lolling on a bit. "Oops. Too late." Was that a grin? Hard to tell, he's already ducked away to scoop up Lovecraft before she can knock the teacher's mug onto the floor, just because she's a Damn Cat. "See ya." And he slips out into the hallway, and away.

A surprised blink at the gums, and a moment to recover. "Oh. Right. Seeya."

And the trolless tromps off with her prize. (scene)

----------------

Dagmar might be near the lodge, and she hears someone singing on the roof of it... it's not Tove, not that good, but someone has an okay even pretty voice.

The song however is.. uhm. very Extra

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me"

She raises an eyebrow, and shifts direction a bit to see the source.

It's Siv, who seems to be putting gusto in it

"
We figured she was rich, loaded to the hilt
And we figured she had class like the Vanderbilts
'Cause we had heard for years how she was so well reared
How was we to know they meant the way she was built"

"What are you doing up there?" Dag shields her eyes with a visored hand as she looks up.

"I'm singing a song Vali taught me. He said it's a good song when you feel sorry for yourself but it's a bit silly too..." SHe waves

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me" A clutch to the heart

"Damn it, he's right, hard not laugh at that."

"Vali is the one with the purple and the puns?"

"Nailed it. He's a Beaumayn, rare house I'm told. He was questing as a childling. He went sailing the oceans and visiting noble holds across the kingdoms when he was 10 or younger. He was lucky enough to somehow get away with it." A sigh, "And he's also a nice guy so I can't be mad at him for long." A smile, "He's got nice eyes."

Noting the long pause, "I'm boring you aren't I?"

"Isn't he old? Can you come down?"

"Don't worry, I think he's cute, but that's just me noticing. I've already been told he's too old for me. Besides, he's dating a pooka girl, Tiffany. SHe's actually pretty bad ass for a pooka. " Siv counts "3..2..1.. lift off" and SPRINGS high into the air from the roof before landing next to Dagmar with nary a scratch

"Okay, does everyone know how to do that but me?"

"Hopscotch? It's a popular one.." She considers, "I can try to teach you if you like? I am bored, oh sweet dreaming I'm bored. I've cleaned everything twice that I was allowed to clean and somethings I wasn't."

"How much longer you got? There was a chimera in school today."

"Big spider-skull thing."

"Two months" A sigh "ANd I'm going to be home schooled, and not even with other kids save once a week. My father is SO extra...

...and... 'big spider skull thing'?"

"I think Frank is the opposite of extra..." She plops down to sit on a log. "Like a skull, with spider legs."

"Neer seen the like" SHe says impressed and ignoring someone taking her dad's side since she has something else to talk about. "Did this Chimera attack you?"

"Nah, it was just hanging out overhead. It did get super pissed off when I swatted it away..."

"Weird. You run into a lot of odd chimera, I've heard of some that attract Chimera, like magnets... well sort of you know what I mean. But you should also be drawing in like large pink butterflies and tiny unicorns or something if that's what you've got. "

Her mouth purses and she shrugs. "Don't think any butterflies or unicorns would much want anything to do with me."

"What I meant is, all kinds, you know? "A pause, "And I know, you probably think they're too girly. Now, Narwhals, you want single horn and bad ass? Narwhals are awesome."

A scowl and she hikes her baldric up higher on her shoulder. "Yeah. Too girly."

Siv notes the scowl and figures it's because of what she likely thinks of butterflies and such, "You have a favorite animal? I mean, I know you like badgers and wolverines. "

She brightens a little. "Badgers are cool."

"I like some dogs. Depends. Some are mean."

"Oh, I like dogs too, but then the ones I know best are Ours so... bias." She admits, a frown, "You know? I think I'd want to punt one of those little yap yap yap times. Not nice of me, but lordy."

"Little ones piss on everything. And I don't like rottweilers."

"oh, never met a Rottweiler. " She admits.

"Or pit bulls. Any of the ones that bite."

"Well, Oak and Edelwiess could probably remove a finger easy off someone if they had to, but they're good dogs and well trained. And they like you" She smiles

"Most, you smash'em good on th'nose, they'll let go... not pitties. They're taught not to let go for nothing."

"They're nice dogs. Big!"

"I'll watch out for Pitties then" She says, then beams with pride at RV's dogs getting praised, "Aye, and marshmellows if you know how to handle them." A Look left and right, "Dad spoils them a bit. Drives mom nuts. Fun."

"Dogs can be real nice. They don't care about who or what you are, usually, if you're decent to them."

"Yeah, Olgar says dogs give what they get"

"Sounds about right."

"Olgar's rough around the edges, but he's smarter than he looks. I think despite his comments, Sylvi doesn't get all her brains from her mother. Not that I'd try to put one over the Hearth."

"Oh... sure? Olgar's okay."
