<Elanya> arrr <Debbie> re <Elanya> I think my internet is just a bit shaky today <Debbie> could be
- Debbie is now known as Ginny
- Elanya is now known as Kolya
- Ginny is up on a ladder dusting in one of the halls right now... everything is bustling at Aberystwyth, getting ready for the big to-do tonight.
- Kolya is going somewhere... maybe to borrow that fez from WR ;)
- Ginny is a cute Boggan with reddish blonde hair and green eyes; unlike many of her kith, one could not call her fat. She is more voluptuous then anything.
- Ginny notices Kolya.
<Ginny> Kolya! Hi!
- Ginny calls from her perch atop the ladder.
<Kolya> hmm?
- Kolya looks around,a dn then up
<Kolya> oh, hi Ginny
- Kolya waves
- Ginny turns around gingerly so she can talk better. She seems to maybe be nervous about being up so high.
<Ginny> Excited about tonight? <Kolya> yeah, I guess so... <Kolya> I haven't been to any Samhain stuff in, well, forever. <Ginny> Oh, really? <Ginny> You were away, weren't you... <Ginny> I forgot.
- Ginny blushes.
<Kolya> um, yeah <Ginny> This will be my fourth... I couldn't get away from my parents any younger... They don't *understand*, you see. <Kolya> (whwre Kolya's been and where he comes from isn't a generally well known thing, I don't think. well, I supose there may be rumours among the boggans <Ginny> (She doesn't know where he was) <Kolya> yeah, I can imagine...
- Ginny absently swats at the carved pillar behind her with a duster.
<Ginny> Are you... going with anyone? <Kolya> ...
- Ginny asks bravely.
<Kolya> no.. I don't know if I'll stay the whole night anyway <Ginny> Oh...
- Ginny looks at the pillar to hide her disappointment.
<Kolya> I'm eally not much for these big parties and things <Kolya> YOu?
- Ginny turns back to Kolya.
<Ginny> Um, no... The guy I like doesn't seem to realize, and I'm too shy to ask. I'm just a kitchen girl, after all. <Kolya> Eh, welll, us guys are notoriously stupid
- Ginny blushes shyly and looks away.
<Ginny> Yeah, I guess so. <Ginny> Um.... Kolya - do you think you could maybe, uh, hold the ladder for me? <Ginny> I hate heights... <Kolya> oh, sure..
- Kolya will do so
<Ginny> But I have to come down and move it and dust the next pillar and- oh, thank you.
- Ginny turns around slowly and carefully again, afraid she's going to fall.
- Ginny makes her way down slowly; at the bottom she is visibly pale.
<Kolya> you okay?
- Ginny turns to smile apologetically at Kolya.
<Ginny> Yeah... it's just. Well, logically I know that even if I did fall, it couldn't hurt too much... <Ginny> But I get all shaky anyway. <Ginny> Stupid, huh? <Kolya> Everyone is afraid of something <Kolya> and lot of people are scarred of heights, so I don't think it's really anything to be ashamed of <Kolya> I mean, you did get up there, and back down, afterall
- Ginny nods.
<Ginny> I know... but here I am, 18 years old, and I'm nearly reduced to tears by a ladder! <Ginny> Oh well, at least I'm not afraid of the dark! <Kolya> there you go :)
- Ginny smiles.
<Ginny> What are you afraid of? <Kolya> That would ba a pretty nasty one, I think, in this castle <Kolya> me? Oh, lots of things, I guess
- Ginny leans against the wall and waits for her knees to stop wobbling.
<Ginny> Like?
- Ginny encourages.
- Kolya thinks
<Kolya> I don't know... being alone, maybe. Or that people won't listent ot me. <Ginny> Really?
- Ginny asks sympathetically.
<Kolya> well, yeah. <Ginny> That's sad... <Kolya> SOmetimes I'm afraid of things that I see... but that's not really the same, I don't think
- Ginny nods.
- Kolya shrugs
<Kolya> It's not so bad. It could be worse <Kolya> Cora used to be terrified of spiders... <Ginny> Who is Cora?
- Ginny asks curiously.
<Kolya> She was a girl who helped take care of me when I was growing up <Ginny> Oh!
- Ginny smiles.
<Ginny> My sister hates spiders, too. <Ginny> It's strange, the things people are afraid of, huh? <Ginny> But I think it's perfectly reasonable to be afraid of some of things you might see in your visions. <Kolya> heh, I had one friend who got over his fear my convincing himself they were just tiny little robots. Personally, I think that makes the *more* creepy <Kolya> sometimes
- Kolya smiles
<Ginny> I think just *having* visions would scare me.
- Ginny smiles.
<Kolya> but like I said, that's not really the same, anywa <Ginny> Yeah. <Kolya> it isn't always bad <Ginny> Well that's good.
- Ginny smiles.
- Ginny tucks some hair behind an ear.
<Ginny> Little robots, huh? <Ginny> That *does* sound creepy.
- Ginny is worried that Kolya might think she is trying to be nosy anf find out what sorts of things he sees, but she really doesn't! Not in this castle.
<Ginny> So... are you going to dress up tonight? <Kolya> well, hopefully <Ginny> What as? <Kolya> I'm just collecting costume parts now,
- Ginny smiles encouragingly/ a bit coquettishly.
<Kolya> a monkey :D <Ginny> A monkey?
- Ginny laughs.
<Ginny> That would be funny to see. <Ginny> Kolya the monkey. I like it...
- Ginny grins.
<Kolya> well, I didn't think I wanted to have a serious costume <Kolya> It seems there will probably be enough of those around <Ginny> Hmmm.
- Ginny nods agreement.
<Ginny> <w> A lot of people here take themselves a bit too seriously, if you know what I mean. <Kolya> It's probably just in their nature... but I know what you mean :)
- Ginny hopes no one hears; like many servants she lives in mortal fear of Herself overhearing and getting angry. ^-^
<Ginny> (Not realizing that Herself has far better things to do than keep an eye on her servants) <Ginny> I think I'll be a whale. <Kolya> a whale?
- Ginny laughs.
<Ginny> It's kind of an inside joke.... <Kolya> oh? <Ginny> When I was a little girl, I was always kind of chunky... so the other kids teased me. You know. <Ginny> Kids can be pretty mean... <Kolya> heh, yeah, I guess they can :o <Ginny> But, anyway. It doesn't bother me anymore - it used ot make me cry - but now it's just funny. <Kolya> (yay more snow! *excited*) <Ginny> (hee! happy Heather) <Kolya> well, I can't imagine you have to worry about it too much these days anyway :) <Ginny> So, I'll be Ginny the whale. It will be my secret revenge on all the kids who used to make me cry!
- Ginny smiles.
<Kolya> go for it :D <Kolya> what kind of whale are you going to be? <Ginny> Hmmm.... <Ginny> Maybe a killer whale.
- Ginny laughs.
<Ginny> No... I think I'll be a right whale. <Kolya> well, I'll keep an eye out for you, then... I've never seen anyone dressed up liek a whale before :o <Ginny> All right!
- Ginny smiles.
- Ginny looks down at her feather duster.
<Kolya> well, I guess I should let you get back to work... <Ginny> I... should probably get back to work before someone sees me slacking off...
- Ginny says at the same time he speaks, and laughs.
<Ginny> But, Kolya - it's been so nice talking to you... <Ginny> I hope we might - might be able to talk some more in the future?
- Ginny asks wistfully.
<Kolya> ah, sure, why not ? <Kolya> I'm sure I'll see you around and stuff..
- Ginny beams when he says "
<Ginny> ("why not")
- Ginny then looks mildly frustrated when he says he'll see her around.
<Kolya> maybe we can do something if we have coinciding days off
- Ginny smiles again.
<Kolya> I'll see you tonight, anyway <Kolya> later :) <Ginny> Okay.
- Kolya will wave again and turn to go
- Ginny wishes he'd clue in. Or maybe he really isn't interested in her. she is just a kitchen girl...
<Ginny> :^/ <Ginny> Kolya -
- Kolya wonder is she was hitting on him or not...
<Kolya> hmm?
- Kolya pauses and looks back over his shoulder
<Ginny> Um... never mind. I'll see you tonight. <Kolya> ..okay..
- Ginny seems a bit disappointed.
- Ginny smiles at Kolya though.
- Kolya smiles back, and then heads off again
- Ginny turns to push her ladder along to the next pillar, and then builds up her courage to climb again...
<Kolya> (poor girls doesn't know what she's getting herself into ;) <Ginny> (heehee) <Ginny> (she's a nice girl)
