[Audio/Action for library]

I am filled with ennui.

[Alester just stops, right in the middle of the library, right in the middle of his shift, and collapses onto the floor in what he calculates to be the most dramatic and attractive manner in which it is possible to collapse.]

library, curse: affected, cry me a river, ennui

That seems...uncomfortable.

[ Among other things. ]

If you say so.

It's not like I have anywhere better to be.

[Than the floor, apparently]

[Lucy is there to check out the January issue of Cosmo. Really.

Which clearly explains why she is poking you with the sharp point of her high heel and looking at you with a curious head tilt]

Oh. Well you're not dead.

[Poke poke with the sharp point of her heel]

You're way too pretty to die.

No, merely tired of life.

[He gestures vaguely with one hand, which ends up flung behind his head.]

But you make a good point.

[He smirks a little, then frowns.]

Stop poking me.

[There are, he must admit, obvious disadvantages to his position.]

Perhaps I'll go...somewhere. [sigh]

[Campbell is not usually the sort to frequent libraries, and especially not when they are as irritating as this one, but he really was intending to at least do a modicum of research on investing (Read as: one book) so that he'd sound decently knowledgable at the bank tomorrow. Of course, he only has SO much time off from his jobs, and he's prone to rushing about anyway, not to mention he has all the grace of a marionette, so it's not unsurprising that upon encountering Alester, he fails to notice him at all. This, quite naturally, results in him catching his foot into Alester's side and sprawling face first onto the floor. Turning to see what his shins are resting upon, he notices Alester and pulls his feet away, starting to prop himself up, a look of confusion and incredulity on his face.]

What're ye doin' there?!

Lying.

[Annoyed that his library tantrum is not really having an optimal result, Alester decides to go for being literal.]

Are you all right?

action; loonyandproud January 23 2011, 01:44:43 UTC
Aye, I am.

[Campbell gathers his knees in to lean on them and keep looking at Alester.]

But what're you lying for?

Nothing much. I just don't have anything better to do.

I rather hadn't thought ennui had a volume capacity.

no_defender January 23 2011, 01:30:19 UTC
Well, I suppose it would be defined by the extent to which I can feel anything.

morsmordre_met January 23 2011, 01:40:19 UTC
And your conclusion?

Reply

no_defender January 23 2011, 02:49:37 UTC
It doesn't really matter, does it?
