Still fifteen (open)
((Assuming it's still dark...)) Beatrice is in the library trying to read. Reading is normally a good distraction from things she doesn't like to think about, like unexpected aging and its implications, but it's made more difficult by the lack of light. Holding a flashlight while trying to read is a bit awkward ( Read more... ) -
Gifts
Technically, Beatrice is Jewish, although she's not very observant. But it's been a while since she had anyone to give presents to for any reason, so now she's making up for it. She has two large boxes, one labelled "To Armand, Chris, Karla and Etienne", the other "To Cimorene, Percy and friends". They're both full of apple cinnamon cookies, ( Read more... ) -
(slightly late) Open post of brooding
The other day, Beatrice had a premonition. It was short, and vague, but still worrying, and she's trying hard to forget it. She can be found by the side of the lake, with a copy of The Phantom Tollbooth that she's looking at but not actually reading. Since the book isn't helping, she'd appreciate some company. -
Visiting Armand and family. This time hopefully with less trauma.
Beatrice promised to come over sometime, at a sensible time of day, so here she is. And even though she's sure Armand will tell her she shouldn't have, she's brought a gift. It's a medium-sized bowl containing a chilled salad Sunny taught her to make, with sliced mango, black beans, chopped celery, black pepper, lime juice and olive oil. (It should ( Read more... ) -
Looking for Cimorene
Falling in the plothole aside, the fireproofing spell was really not that difficult. At least, Beatrice doesn't think it was. She has no intention of testing it all by herself, of course. That's just basic fire safety and she still feels slightly ill at the thought of picking up a matchShe knocks on the door of the cottage, hoping either Cimorene ( Read more... ) -
Where she went/Visiting Armand
Beatrice didn't mean to disappear for two weeks while a friend was in trouble. It was mostly an accident. She was collecting ingredients for Cimorene's fireproofing spell from the plothole, and... well, how often do you get to see what a tear in the fabric of reality looks like? She probably shouldn't have crawled in that far. Or at least should ( Read more... ) -
Don't drink the water... (open post)
Beatrice appears to have acquired a box of matches. At the minute she's just sitting in a corner, lighting pages from the back of her commonplace book and watching as they curl up and disintegrate into nothing but ash. It's so beautiful. So powerful. She can't imagine why she was ever afraid of this ( Read more... ) -
