Title: The Woods


Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 08:59 PM (GMT)
::Chloe leads Andrea into the woods carefully.::

"This is far more secluded. I might be able to find some food. Or, if you would prefer, I could try to take some from the town."

::The girl looks at Andrea in concern.::

"You have been quiet for a long time."

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:00 PM (GMT)
"Yeah, I... I spose I have."

::Andrea grimaces.::

"I'm not hungry. But, um, here."

::She takes a mangled cereal bar from her pocket.::

"This isn't chocolate! Damn you Julie..."

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:00 PM (GMT)
::Chloe looks confused.::

"Julie?"

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:01 PM (GMT)
"Uh, just someone I know."

::Andrea blinks.::

(I said that because it's easier not to get into all of this.)

::She hastily unwraps the bar and puts the plastic in her pocket, handing the crunched up grainy semi-healthy crap to Chloe.::

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:03 PM (GMT)
::Chloe takes the bar and frowns at it. It's sticky and strange. She sniffs it and then bites the end. She really likes it, so looks pleased. Examining it a little longer, she decides that it's all packed together with sophisticated use of rocks and stuff, sealed with honey or syrup or something.::

"Thank you."

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:05 PM (GMT)
"S'okay."

::Andrea sighs and turns around, then turns around and stares at Chloe while she eats.::

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:05 PM (GMT)
::Feeling embarrassed now, Chloe takes smaller bites and chews more delicately.::

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:06 PM (GMT)
::Andy smiles.::

"Eat it properly. I would."

::She turns around and sits down, then lies back and closes her eyes.::

(If this is how I die in the past... I don't know what. A big anvil falls from the sky on me head?)

::She cracks an eye open suspiciously.::

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:07 PM (GMT)
::Chloe pauses for a moment then eats the bar in a couple of bites, swallowing before chewing quite a bit. She almost chokes and then, giggling at herself, wipes her mouth and sits down beside Andrea, before lying down as well.::

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:24 PM (GMT)
::Andrea sits up suddenly and has a proper look around.::

"Did you know there are wolves here?"

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:25 PM (GMT)
"They are occasional creatures. And rarely come to this area. We are safe, Sister."

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:26 PM (GMT)
::Andrea glances down at Chloe and then double-takes. Just because.::

"It's Andrea."

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:26 PM (GMT)
::Chloe opens one eye and regards the not-nun quietly.::

"Hm?"

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:26 PM (GMT)
"My name. Andrea."

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 09:27 PM (GMT)
::Chloe smiles to herself and closes her eye again, enjoying the warmth.::

"Then you are safe, Andrea. I will protect you from the big bad wolf."

Andrea - January 1, 2007 09:27 PM (GMT)
(Yeah right... I've seen you trying to fight people, weako!)

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 10:47 PM (GMT)
::Chloe opens her eyes again and watches Andrea for a moment before suddenly pulling her down onto her back.::

Andrea - January 1, 2007 10:47 PM (GMT)
::Andrea squeaks in surprise and turns her head to look questioningly at Chloe.::

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 10:47 PM (GMT)
::Smiles.::

Andrea - January 1, 2007 10:48 PM (GMT)
::Andrea smiles back.::

Past Chloe - January 1, 2007 10:52 PM (GMT)
::Chloe bites her lip for a moment then kisses Andrea.::

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:30 PM (GMT)
::Sharon steps between the trees with Piper and calls out.::

"Andrea? God, this place must be huge."

::She brushes a leaf away from her face.::

Piper - January 1, 2007 11:32 PM (GMT)
"We're in Ireland, right? I thought this place was supposed to be tiny."

::Piper favours a quieter approach. You never know who could be watching, waiting to attack. There could be wolves!::

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:37 PM (GMT)
"Relatively."

(But not compared to your chest.)

::That was totally unintentional.::

"But a wood is a wood, Piper - it could take hours to find her. God, why doesn't she ever take her phone with her?"

Piper - January 1, 2007 11:39 PM (GMT)
"I don't think they had phone lines in... actually, maybe they do. This could be last week for all we know."

::Piper smirks at Sharon, unable to resist now.::

"I've heard this place is pretty backwards so that outfit we saw on Andrea isn't too strange to you, huh?"

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:44 PM (GMT)
"As most nuns wear a similar sort of getup, no, it wasn't."

::Sharon smiles coolly back at Piper.::

(I'm looking forward to seeing you smirk like that when we find Andrea and she thinks you're Julie.)

Piper - January 1, 2007 11:46 PM (GMT)
"You grew up on a farm, didn't you?"

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:50 PM (GMT)
"Dundalk, actually. It's near Dublin."

::She acts like she didn't notice any hidden insult.::

Piper - January 1, 2007 11:51 PM (GMT)
"Isn't that a fishing village?"

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:53 PM (GMT)
"One more interesting in music than fishing."

::Sharon gives Piper a scrutinising look.::

"How did you know that, anyway?"

Piper - January 1, 2007 11:55 PM (GMT)
"I didn't. I just made it up based on stereotypes of Ireland I've heard."

::Piper grins.::

"Looks like they're more truths than sterotypes! So how long do we have to walk until we find a bar?"

Sharon - January 1, 2007 11:59 PM (GMT)
::Sharon rolls her eyes.::

"There's one right there."

::She points to a branch that is about to hit Piper in the face.::

Piper - January 2, 2007 12:01 AM (GMT)
::Piper gets hit in the face by said branch and quickly gets up.::

"Tell. No one."

Sharon - January 2, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
::Sharon grins properly.::

"Oh I won't. It's perfect blackmail material."

::She looks ahead again, suddenly worried that she'd forgotten to worry about Andrea. She calls out again.::

"Andrea!"

Andrea - January 2, 2007 12:08 AM (GMT)
::Sharon's voice pierces the myriad thoughts in Andrea's mind, like how it doesn't matter if she kisses back, because no-one'll know-

(YOU'LL know, you hoor!)

-and omg what does this mean and omg what's going on and the Kohr lady thankfully turns on hearing the whinny of her big sis.::

"... Sharon?"

Sharon - January 2, 2007 12:13 AM (GMT)
::Hearing the boyish voice of her sister, Sharon speeds up and follows it, rushing through the wood to where she almost throws herself upon her sister.::

"Andrea!"

::She says in a perfect, clear, beautiful voice that matches her features.::

(Thank God.)

Past Chloe - January 2, 2007 12:13 AM (GMT)
::Surprised, Chloe quickly pushes herself away and stares at the two.::

Andrea - January 2, 2007 12:15 AM (GMT)
::As she's crushed to death by the horse that is her sister, Andrea squeals and then hugs her back just as tightly.::

"Oh my god! Thank bloody God you're all right!"

Piper - January 2, 2007 12:16 AM (GMT)
::Piper quickly jogs after Sharon and appears quietly into the clearing where everybody is. Having experienced reunions such as this with her own sisters, she hangs back and watches with a smile.::

Sharon - January 2, 2007 12:18 AM (GMT)
::Sharon pulls back and smiles in relief at her sister.::

"You're okay, aren't you? Nothing's happened?"

::She looks at Chloe finally, and then double takes. She recognises her from the photos Andrea has. Glancing at her sister, she ventures a question.::

"Chloe?"
