When I first heard the news about Disney buying LucasFilm, and that they were going to have another Star Wars movie, I was disappointed, and had the typical reaction that everyone else did about how Disney would turn it into some kiddies deal. The more I thought about it, though, the more it appealed to me; they owned Marvel, and hell, nothing has been jacked up about the recent movies that have come out, and I'm pretty sure the future Marvel movies are going to be fine. I have similar thoughts about this new Star Wars movie, too. Now that I've heard that Michael Arndt is going to write it, I really, really hope that they don't mess this one up. Toy Story 3 is one of my favorite movies of any of the Pixars and of all the movies I've seen, but I'm just a little worried here. I hope that they keep the idea that they should appeal to all age groups, and not just the kids in mind.
While I do agree with both of the posts Ben / Rainshine / Psychedelic has made in this thread, this happening really makes me sick, and while Uganda has been . . . a hellhole of really shitty morals, I'm really sick of people in the world making out that " If you're anything but straight, you deserve to go to hell / to be punished / to die / to be tortured. " I'm mean, not only is it incredibly immature, but it's cruel and unusual. This nonsense that they've got going on about " aggravated homosexuality " and " offensive homosexuality " is crap, too. Why would you split it like that, and give severe punishments for them. Life in prison? The death penalty? Talk about a tough crowd. And this thing about it being a " Christmas present ", that's just downright disgusting, and I hope that they see the error of their ways sooner than later.
Okay, because I'm a complete and total loser, I had Quin tell Danny that the concert was in two days, but today ( in the roleplay ) is only Friday. that would make the concert actually on Sunday, instead of Wednesday, like Quin said on Tumblr. So, in short, Quintus' violin concert is on Sunday, not Saturday ( because waiting about 15 days for everyone to finally be in one place at once [ well maybe not everyone ] is ridonkulous. Sorry for the mix-up on my part. A thousand pardons. ; ~ ;

Inwardly, she cursed and turned to Tyler, telling him to go ahead, and she would meet him at his house, later. Maybe there . . . Well, Tyler was the only person she could really talk to. Maybe they could talk about the e-mail . . . She definitely didn't want to be caught in the after-school rush hour of everyone trying to get home, so she quickened her pace to get to the music hall and orchestra hall, hopefully, her binder was on the table where she left it. Elizabeth would surely kill her if she didn't show up with it before the concert! Right before she turned the corner, she jumped back and realized it was Madeline, panting, and her face was very red. Almost awkwardly, Kallisti stood there and stand at her. She knew a little bit about Madeline, and staring at her was not a smart thing to do. Why did she keep running into people from the e-mail? There were 2,000 other people in this school, why would she keep running into the same twelve kids? She looked shaken, and Kallisti took a step forward, " . . . Madeline, are . . . Are you quite alright? " she asked her, slowly, not wanting to set her off or anything off, " You seem . . . stirred. " she observed, more calm, " Is everything alright . . . ?

" He sounded absolutely elated that she invited him, but she still couldn't think for why, " I'm not a big fan of classical music, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot! " Upon hearing this, Kallisti decided that Daniel Makara wasn't such a bad person, and they might even become friends, in the future. Still, he had lots to do before that was going to be the case, " I am very glad to hear that. I cannot guarantee that you will have a good time, but you have the right attitude. " she told him, standing up with her violin case. " When is it? " he then asked her before she could break off the conversation, " Two days from now, at Sealand Park, four blocks from the school. " she replied to him, " I hope to see you there. " she said with a smile, bowing her head slightly at him. Perhaps she was a little old-fashioned, but it didn't hurt to show him respect at all. She turned away from Daniel, nodded at Cherno who was still away from them, and then turned to Tyler, " Are you coming, Tyler? " she said to him, and he nodded, since they were off to his house to play video games, anyway, " It was lovely talking to you, Daniel. " she said, pulling down her scarf and showing him her smile, " Some other time. " And then Tyler and Kallisti left the courtyard together. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

Good, because she and tense people did not do well. She wasn't very good at calming people, unless she wasn't paying attention, but she was good at being calm herself. She smiled a little more behind her scarf, but Daniel probably didn't notice it, " Yeah, I guess they aren't so different." An idea lit in her mind, but she didn't know if he would like it, " I was . . . just mentioning to Tyler here that I have an upcoming violin concert that is organized by my private instructor, Elizabeth. " she explained, " I do not know how fond you are of classical music, but I would not mind it if you were to come. " she told him, in more of a question by the end. " Do you write any songs yourself? " Kallisti wasn't expecting this question, but smiled a little more when it came her way, " Yes, I do, actually. But . . . only on occasion. I am only good at playing the music, not writing it. " she replied. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

" Daniel said, obviously nervous. She could not think of why he might be so. She raised an eyebrow at this question, but he must have been nervous, so she shrugged it off and smiled slightly behind her scarf, " Yes, I do play violin. Thank you for noticing. " Ah . . . that might have sounded just a little sarcastic. Oh well . . . " I have heard that you play guitar. " she then said, conversationally, " Do you think it is much different from playing a violin, since they both have strings? " Off, a ways, she spotted Cherno, who didn't seem to intent on coming over to them, since they three looked well acquainted. She shared a few of his classes and honestly didn't mind him, perhaps they could have a chat sometime. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

"While she had almost jumped, Kallisti immediately thought the better of it and turned around to see Tyler, standing over her with a smile, " Tyler, hello. " she replied, softly. This would be the first time she talked to anyone else whose name was in the e-mail all day. It felt a little strange, but she was in doubt that he wanted to talk about it, so she decided not to mention it. " Your recital is in a few days, right? " She smiled at him, " Yes, thank you for remembering, " and then recalled that of course he would remember, he had been to all of her previous performances. Their mothers had been friend since they were young, so it was almost obligational, but a bit of a pleasure to have him as a friend, one of the only people she could give the title, given her surroundings, " I am glad you are going to come. " " How are things going? " He then asked her, and she sighed, a slight heaviness to it, " Things have been getting back to normal. It has really only been a year since my mother . . . Well, since she passed on. Father is much better, and I feel a little happier every day. " Perhaps that is a bit of a lie. Her therapist said she might be depressed, but she didn't believe that. What's a few days with out proper sleep? Without proper eating? No big deal, at all, but she was being selfish, thinking this. " Perhaps you should come to the concert, and bring Miss Abigail along. I would like her to be there, what do you think? " " Hi - " said someone else, and Kallisti looked to realize they were sitting next to him. It was Daniel, " Hey man. " " Hello, Daniel, " she said to him, but nothing else.

He wasn't around people very often, and she wondered if he didn't appreciate their company as she didn't, or if he was just one that no one really . . . Well.

Luckily for Kallisti, she had it off. Since the days of school were split in to A and B days, everyone had eight classes to take all year. Fortunately, she only took seven. After speaking just a little bit to one of the other students about the little homework they had received, Kallisti made her way down the stairs to the first floor with her violin case. Usually, she went home after third period was over on A days, but . . . She didn't want to check her computer to see that wretched e-mail, again. She even disabled it on her phone so that she wouldn't be tempted to look at it, at all. " Perhaps I will go to the courtyard, for the remainder of the day . . . " And so, ten minutes later, she found herself sitting on one of the few stone benches in the medium - sized courtyard that rested adjacent to the cafeteria. She began to think of what she had said to Mr. Ross, the orchestra director. Perhaps it was not the best idea to say that, but . . . " Oh, in case there is a day where I do not show up for a long time, you can have my violin. " Very silly of her to say that. However, there were no hints about what was going to happen to her, were they? She then saw Daniel Makara, why hadn't she noticed him before? It didn't look like he noticed her present either, he must have been so absorbed in his own surroundings to pay attention, not that she blamed him. She looked at her violin case next to her. It didn't look like she would be able to play out here, " Oh well . . . "

Kallisti pulled up to the school and grabbed her black shoulder bag from the passenger's seat. Looking at her watch, she determined that she had just enough time to have a quick chat with the director, and then get to her next class, psychology, with Mr. Ethridge. She walked through the parking lot and into the big school through the cafeteria, where she caught the eye of a few people from the orchestra or some from her other classes that she considered not so bad at all. The cafeteria was large, so it took a bit to get through, and then turn down the hallway to get to the orchestra hall. When she passed through the door that led to the music building, the smell of fresh wood and some brass hit her nose. She loved the smell of this place, it made her feel so comfortable. She turned down another hall after walking far enough, and then entered the orchestra hall, where a few other players were practicing or chatting among themselves. She nodded to the few that acknowledged her and then walked into the director's office. " Kallisti, " he greeted upon her entering, and she sighed, a chuckle of his following soon after, " Yes, yes, forgive me, Quintus. What do you need? " Upon his correction, she began to explain to him that she wouldn't be attending extra practice on Sunday for the UMA competition because of her concert, " Elizabeth says that she is sure you will be fine with it. " she said, slightly pleading to him to let her off easily, " I would not normally miss practice otherwise . . . " He smiled and sent her off with his blessing that he would not be upset and that she would not be punished . . . this time. Before she left his office, she remembered, " Oh, in case there is a day where I do not show up for a long time, you can have my violin. " She then left his office, leaving a quizzical look on the director's face. With a contented sigh, Kallisti left the music hall and began her journey for the third floor, room 3035, Mr. Ethridge's Advanced Placement Psychology.
Hey, should we consider posting school schedules? It seems like a bit of a good idea, seeing as the characters all go to school together, and some of them will be in similar classes.

Kallisti took a look at her watch and then sighed, sticking the last of her short bread cookies in her mouth. Time to get back to the school. She needed to talk to the orchestra director, anyway. She quickly walked inside and gave Mr. Paschal his ceramic cup, said her goodbyes and turned to leave, " . . . Please stop. Don't call me Maddy, I'm serious." she heard, before she walked out the door. Picking her keys out of her pocket, she walked over to her car and hopped into it, turning on the heater, first thing. Perhaps she should talk to them about it . . . Eh . . . They would have to come to her, first. Or not at all, both choices worked nicely for her. Before she backed out, she saw Madeline coming out of the cafe. " Poor Thomas, " she thought to herself. She drove off. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mr. Paschal, the owner of the cafe, was one of her favorite people. He wasn't particularly nosy and was very kind. Every time she came into his shop, they would have a small conversation that wasn't too boring about this or that, and he would give her what she ordered, and then she would be on her way. Because of this, she decided that she would always come to this cafe, and go to no other. This one was never so busy that it was annoying, anyway, and so she became a regular. Today, she told him about her upcoming concert. He seemed happy for her, and said that he would come, if he could, especially in exchange for her coming here some time and playing for he and his customers. It sounded like a lovely deal. He gave her a refill of her Spearmint and some shortbread cookies, and then told her to come back if she needed anything else. She came to the door to go sit at her table out side, and when she opened it, a loud slamming of a car door sounded, and being startled, Kallisti almost dropped everything. With a glare, she looked up to see who the culprit was, but upon seeing it was a familiar face, her look softened. Madeline. She saw her here sometimes, but not often, and even when she did, she wouldn't think of talking to her. Without being noticed, she moved to the side, and let the door close behind her after the other girl had walked in. Come to think of it, she had seen Thomas, too. Both of their names had been on that list. Sometimes, one just couldn't get away from destiny. She smiled to herself as she sat down at her outside table, and ate one of the cookies. From the inside, she saw Madeline look at her.

It wasn't a particularly cold day, but I pulled my scarf closer to me as I sat outside. I should be inside, drinking tea and having a pastry like I normally do for lunch every day. Spearmint and cookies. Jasmine and a small tart. I couldn't sit in there, though. I didn't want to be around chattering people, their white noise in the background of my life. Idle talk of their weekend plans and the rest of their day. The latest fashion. The latest break up. Sally had sex with Jeff. Lucy is starting to look depressed. Willy is still a player. Gossip. Why could people not keep to themselves? How annoying . . . This cafe was the best thing she could ask for, though. It was normally a quiet place, and not many of the other students from the school came here. If they did, they were just like her; quiet and not wanting to converse with anyone. Her cup sat in front of her, steaming warmness, while her hands were in her pockets, feeling cold without the hot ceramic's hot touch. She should drink it, she didn't want it go to waste. Should she just go home after lunch was over? No . . . She would only look at that e-mail. She had played it calm yesterday, while talking to Tyler and Aileen on Tumblr, but it unnerved her a little. She was highly unamused, if this was someone's idea of a practical joke. Eh . . . She was probably thinking too much into it in general, anyway. At worst, the e-mail was true and they really were going to die in a hundred days, or it was the product of someone's antics. No matter. Her violin concert was coming up soon, and she was very excited for it. Her father said he would take the day off, and then they would go to dinner as a reward for a " job-well-done" as he might say. Perhaps they would even go visit mother, he pitched. She wasn't so sure. She always felt so guilty going to see mother with him. Elizabeth might come to dinner, too. It was a lovely prospect. No use in worrying about what will happen in a hundred days. Kallisti took a drink of her tea and smiled at its warmth.
