Sky Phillips wanders in and begins browsing after a pleasant nod to the man behind the counter.
Eventually he ascends the stairs and keeps browsing. Seeing people seated in the centre he passes them and offers "Greetings Earthlings." and then drifts to a nearby shelf and picks off a book "Taxidermy...perhaps not."
Lokii Sjong: hi
Elektra.Matsouka grunts a barely audible "hi."
Ase Sjong: Hello I don't think we met.
Sky Phillips wanders towards the group with another book in his hands about canoe building "Well not in this lifetime I suppose...but you never know. I'm Sky." He takes in the apparent ages of the group "Are you all students?" He's in his late 30s but with a youthful face.
Lokii Sjong: yeah we kinda are but your welcome to hang with us.
Elektra.Matsouka looks at the dude behind her blushes a little "sorry i thought you was my dad."
Ase Sjong: Oh your dads coming? and grab a seat sky that pack looks heavy.
Sky Phillips smiles at the one who welcomed and then looks critically at the being thinking he was her father "Hmmm.....I have no offspring that I know of." He adjusts the pack and smiles to the concerned "If you don't attach to things, they do not burden. But I may put this down for awhile."
Lokii Sjong: cool i 'm Lokii
Elektra.Matsouka: Elektra the Bat
Ase Sjong: Åse glad to meet you
Sky Phillips points between Ase and Lokii "Scandinavia somewhere?" He looks at Elektra "Are you nocturnal?"
Leonidas.Matsouka: Hi guys.
Gabrielle Rousseau walks up the stairs of the bookstore. It's been a long time since she's been in town. She looks at the gathered and sees no one ... then sees Sky and smiles softly.
Lokii Sjong: wow almost a community meeting today
Elektra.Matsouka : Uh dad meet my cool class mates Lokii and Ase and Mr Sky and um ah....er?
Ase Sjong: Looks at Elektra I don't think she said her name but welcome everyone she says ever trying to be the diplomat.
Sky Phillips nods to the father of Elektra "the bat" and then looks curiously at the others before giving Gabrielle a big smile and a long sigh "Gaby, it's been too long since your energy has graced a room I inhabit. Apparently we're in a meeting now." He seems amused by this" Do you operate by consensus, voting, interpretive dance?"
Leonidas.Matsouka: ah I see my daughter has graced you with her nick name laughs , Matsouka is Cypriot for bat so she is my baby bat. my family is from Cyprus .
Gabrielle Rousseau blinks and looks around. "Oh .... I'm sorry." she stammers. "Gabrielle Rousseau. Coming in for all the renovation work." she suddenly feels a little like she's in one of her ... other meetings ... she beams at Sky and laughs. "Oh, well ... is it AA, OA, NA, . booklovers anonymous?" she looks a little lost, but moves to sit nearer Sky. "It has been a while...." she decides against probing further in a meeting. The man speaks of bats and she ... blinks.
Elektra.Matsouka: Oh sorry we are a book club welcome we don't have a book this week cause we just finished Wee Free men by Terry Prachett.
Ase Sjong: yeah that was a great book but maybe this time we need something more intense a crime book mayhaps?And welcome Gabrielle.
Sky Phillips ponders all this "A book club." He looks warily at Gabrielle "Hmm...does this shop allow patrons to sell used copies back so things don't...accumulate? Cyprus and Scandinavia....interesting folks from all over here."
Leonidas.Matsouka thinks Yes Ruben Downstairs buys old books , what he can't resale he donates to a Israeli children's charity'
Gabrielle Rousseau's eyes grow wide and she looks at Sky incredulously and then face palms. "I ... have sold books to bookstores ... before ...." she clears her throat.
Lokii Sjong: do you write then as well? i love books written by women
Elektra.Matsouka : I wanna read more from Jonesbø i loved Blood in the snow Harry Hole is a great dick.
Ase Sjong: Oh my gawd Bat you so didn't go there with the harry Hole joke. sorry peeps bat's a bit well batty harry hole you say it Hole is a cop in Norway that solves closed cases.
Sky Phillips winks at Gabrielle "Good, the meditations worked." He nods at Leonidas and then looks delighted by Elektra "I think if someone is going to be called a dick, better to be called a great one. Same with being called an asshole. Don't just be a bit of one, really personify." He chuckles at his own thoughts.
Leonidas.Matsouka looks at his daughter "If i didn't know you meant detective , baby bat can go from Hanna Montana to Miley Cyrus in 50 seconds flat . hey kids why don't you go grab some coffee and let us adults chat?" He hands Elektra a 20.
Gabrielle Rousseau blinks rapidly. She places a hand on her duffel bag and inhales very slowly, exhaling the same way. "Mostly .... yes ... it did ...." she leas back on the couch a bit, her hand on her bag, s if it's a faithful pup.
Doctor Rose Song: Sorry I'm Late Had some paperwork to clear up
Sky Phillips looks at the new woman arriving and says his standard "Greetings Earthling." He darts a glance at the bag Gaby seems so overprotective of and then looks back to Leonidas "Delightful child your bat girl." he jokes.
Leonidas.Matsouka : She's a handful some days but i'm glad she has all her friends in town to look after her. looks over at sky and gab I take it you know each other?
Gabrielle Rousseau nods at the new lady and back at the man and just smiles, stiffly.
Doctor Song: I'm Rose Song I guess You could say i'm Lokii and Ase's new step mom.
Sky Phillips gives Gaby a shy little smile "Yes we know each other. In many lives I sense." He extends the smile back at Leonidas and then to Rose "Rose Song. I like your name. Were you born with it, or did you choose it?"
Leonidas.Matsouka : Glaces at Rose , he knew Lokii and Åse from Bat's friend crew but never met Rose. he smiles then looks at Sky and Gabby sky you remind me of a shaman i met years ago in Greece do you study healing arts+ and gabby are you ok? you seem a tad nervous.
Gabrielle Rousseau blinks. "Who are Loki and Ase?" she lookss around the room, as if for people who have joined them. Two are missing, none have joined. "Those kids that just left?" she grins a little self-consciously. "I just caught the one named Bat." she looks at Sky and sighs in apparent relief or relaxation. "It IS a lovely name." but she waits for a reply before going on. She nearly jumps at the notice she is nervous and looks for a moment like the worlds worst shoplifter. "I'm great." she squeaks, although it also looks like she is about to confess to the assassinations of Christ, Kennedy and King.
Rose Song: The two kids that i bumped into down stairs i suppose they left before i came up those are my two and if they were up to no good tell me , Yes my name was chosen i changed it when i was a teen cause everyone teased me too much they would say Sjong the dong and slong and add to that my first name was Gerd.
Sky Phillips replies thoughtfully to Leonidas "I am not a practitioner, but a strong believer in the healing arts, reincarnation, past lives, the astral plain, lucid dreaming and the subtle energies we cannot name or see." He shifts his gaze to Gaby with kindness as if he knows of what she's struggling with and just says "Whatever it is Gaby, love and light. Be at peace with it." He smiles at Rose "Gerd. I think that's interesting but I do like Rose. I was once called Duncan." He admits.
Leonidas.Matsouka : that's interesting I would love to study more but work and raising bats are taking alot of my time these days. but i wouldn't trade it for anything, i hear my families stories of Cyprus and Greece and all the financial issues there i am glad my father came here .
Gabrielle Rousseau nods, still anxious. "We .... I mean Sky and I ... have a friend ... Sky's more than mine ... named Phoenix Fire Moon. His grandfather choose the Moon name in the 1960's and so his name is given and ..." she looks at Sky, pulling her bag into her lap. "I am ... I am, really." she grips the bag, still .. like a pet. "Completely at peace." and then she bursts out as the directed light of her perceived judgement comes pouring out. "I replaced them! ALL of them! From Aseop to Zieg Heil .... ELECTRONICALLY!" she now clutches the bag to her chest like she is afraid someone will hear her confession and snatch the bag away.
Rose Song chuckles we wont tell Ruben down stairs is shall we say very kind hearted and he would rather people read electronically than never read at all. so no worries heck he even lets the kids borrow books sometimes. looks at gab and smiles relax this is a free society here we all have each other's backs.
Sky Phillips nods at Leonidas "Yes complicated economics over there." He smiles at the mention of their friend Phoenix and then sighs at Gaby "Well baby steps...at least you will have more freedom of movement with that..." He gestures at the bag and then clarifies to Rose. He's never been one to not put it all on the table with issues "Gaby has been dealing with an addiction to collecting books. Attachment is complicated, and yes we can walk with her."
Leonidas.Matsouka : No crime in collecting books , chuckles if there was i think some of us would be sharing a cell . I am also guilty of collecting books.
Gabrielle Rousseau sighs in relief and closes her eyes. A moment later, she unzips the bag and takes out a slim external hard drive colored brown. "Yes ... Sky helped me when I had to ... " she swallows. "Get rid of .. a few ... he and Phoenix Fire ... there were so many ... I was ... they were stacked .. everywhere ...." she looks at the man. "But there IS." she argues. "There were paths in my apartment .. floor to ceiling books. The police and fire department got involved. Then a therapist .. and a lawyer ... and Sky and Phoenix fire." she sniffs. "I didn't even realize .. if they had caught fire ... "
Rose Song looks wide eyed , wow I am also guilty , but in the form of audio books be amazed how many you can fit on a hard drive.
Sky Phillips just smiles "I travel light and try not to live in judgment. There are always books everywhere and libraries....but I sympathize with the need to take comfort in surroundings."
Leonidas.Matsouka nods.
Gabrielle Rousseau slips the brown drive back into her bag and comes out with a purple one. "Music." and a black one "Audio books" and a blue one "Movies ..." she sighs. "For good or ill ... It was like I had lost everything. Phoenix got me my first external ... and told me this way I could have them all and not endanger anyone else." she beans, almost childlike. "But now I don't have to go to the library. I can put my books on my phone or tablet or whatever. And I am no longer a hoarder." she looks quite proud, happily ignoring the fact that she IS still a hoarder ... and very possibly worse than she HAD been.
Rose Song: So i take it you also have a computer? or you can use the ones at the school library for free.
Sky Phillips's eyes go a little wider at the reveal of each drive Gaby pulls out and then he clears his throat and just chuckles. Baby steps. He tries to offer some positive feedback "That sounds very well ordered." He glances at Rose and Leonidas "I don't own a computer but I do love libraries. I'm going to be boarding with a woman in town who might have a computer I could use from time to time. I just answered her advertisement."
Leonidas.Matsouka : Bat has one i think if she hasn't traded it up for something.
Gabrielle Rousseau nods, eagerly. "Two laptops, a tablet and smart phone." she continues to look quite proud of herself. She looks at the man. "Oh, I could buy he old laptop off of you!" she offers.
Rose Song: doc stifles a yawn as she hasn't been sleeping well.
Sky Phillips shakes his head gently at Gaby and then Leonidas "Think, breathe......do you need it?" His tone is very gentle but he's trying to discourage her. He notices Rose's yawn in his peripheral vision.
Leonidas.Matsouka @hypergrid.org:8002: Nah I think bat needs hers she spends a lot of time talking to her cousins in Greek. it's like a cool code with them. Rose you OK? he now notices the dark circles under her eyes.
Gabrielle Rousseau settles her drives back in the bag. "Well .... NEED is a strong word." she scoffs. "But anyway .... I should probably be going. Sky .... come over soon. Right now I am at the Mariners on Alexandra Island. Not far, really."
Rose Song: well I do need to go catch up with the kids and then take a well deserved cat nap. I have to plan a trip.
Sky Phillips looks relieved at Leonidas's words. He stands up and holds out his arms offering Gaby a hug goodbye "I will visit soon. I'm going to go meet with my landlady, Judith Baldwin, and sort that out. Rose Song, rest well and Leonidas, to the bat cave?" He jokes.
Gabrielle Rousseau stands and waves to Rose and the man.
Leonidas.Matsouka: I shall be going or I may find Bat has sold the house again

First Theta Sigma Shops Day RP - repost for context
Ase Sjong: You get a job yet bro?
Vincent.DiAntoni rushes up to Fiona, panting slightly. "Got lost." he rolls his eyes.
Lokii Sjong yeah almost i still got the last interview
Fiona.Reinhardt leans in and kisses Vincent on the cheek "I confused you by mentioning that bookstore. Sorry." She reaches and pushes on the big heavy metal door "Oh my god..." She laughs "This place looks cool." She steps in and looks all around and up. Seeing two other teens she smiles briefly at them and the woman behind the counter.
Doctor Song hi guys coffee's?
Ase Sjong: Hi
Vincent.DiAntoni chuckles. "Another test of my intelligence, Boss." he looks around as they enter. "Yea .... check out the stonework. It's like a castle in here." he glances at Fi. "Coffee?" he wonders, glancing at the other teens as well. He glances at the chick with the blue hair and nods, not actually saying anything.
Lokii Sjong sofa's Free Over here my Sis and I don't bite ... Hard!
Fiona.Reinhardt looks at the coffee board and then gives another little smile to the girl who said hi. She wiggles her brows at Vincent "Well if we're going to achieve world domination, I do have to test you frequently. And yes, coffee, always coffee." She looks to the boy who speaks of biting "Have you measured that scientifically?" Curiously she steps toward the sofa "And do you have all your own teeth.....that impacts the study of course."
Ase Sjong laughs "As far as i know he hasn't gotten dentures yet. I'm Åse and this is my twin Bro Lokii."
Vincent.DiAntoni chuckles and heads for the counter, already knowing how Fi wants her coffee. And she knows he will bring it to her just as she likes it. It's turning into a part of their unique dynamic. "Two coffee's please." he tells the woman at the counter. he looks around, assuming the usual for places liek this with plain coffee to get it black. "Space for cream and sugar and stuff please."
Doctor Song: You Got It
Lokii Sjong Hey tante Rose add on some cookies my treat. a Big pile for all of us. come Join us guys.
Fiona.Reinhardt sits on the couch, giving Vincent a grateful look and then glances between the siblings "You should really check his teeth if he has a cookie habit." She jokes to Ase "I'm Fiona and that's Vincent. We just came from shops class, we're the imports from Alexandra. Hide all your cats or they may become magnetically attracted to the vibrations of our island and follow us home."
Ase Sjong Cats can't be owned they just let us serve them . and Lokii's teeth are pretty good they made it 17 years
Vincent.DiAntoni waits patiently at the counter, arching his brow at the boy boosting their order and narrowing his eyes very slightly. "Yea." he raises his voice to be heard. "We're what happens when Hitler and Mussolini become a couple." he looks at the counter lady. "What's the total?" he goes into his pocket for his wallet.
Doctor Song: Looks Like my wards waved your tab tonight on th e house
Lokii Sjong it's cool guys seriously after school and after Job Corps it gets boring here so concider this a gift in exchange for hanging with us for a bit
Fiona.Reinhardt looks carefully over to Vincent, the counter person and back to the twins "OK, but let us leave a tip after?" She frowns at Vincent "If you're Mussolini...." She grumbles "No I'm thinking some sort of Matriarchal tribal den mother goddess figure who has those tranquilizer darts she blows at people who disobey. I've always wanted those." She looks to the twins "Can you imagine how much fun that would be? What's the Job Corps? Some kind of mentoring thing?"
Ase Sjong Yeah Pretty much a mentoring program Lokki and I are trying to keep ourselves from going nuts they are holding us back a year so we will be at even levels with kids our age next year so we are (sigh) repeating alot of stuff we learned back in Norway.
Vincent.DiAntoni arches his brow, but takes a ten out of his thin not wad of cash. He sets it on the counter. "I pay." he replies, tersely. "You either earn my friendship, or you don't. It's not for sale." he takes the coffees, if they've been offered and turns towards the couch, handing Fiona hers and sitting beside her. "I'll take insane Italian dictator. Give me time to work on that mustache. But yea ..... I can see the tribal goddess, Boss." then he sips, just a bit sullenly.
Lokii Sjong it's all good wasn't trying to offend. Mumbles to self i am a dork
Fiona had nodded along with Ase "Norway, cool. That would be a bit tedious." She watches and listens to Vincent with a slightly surprised expression which settles into a thoughtful look. She takes the coffee from his hand with a quieter than normal "Thank you." and a sideways look that has a very we may talk about this moment later vibe to it. She smiles kindly at Lokii and offers "It's all good. Thank-you." She clears her throat and looks back to Ase "So how long have you been living here then?"
Ase Sjong about 3 weeks Before that we were camping out on the boat till the house was finished. Our tante Rose has taken over for our mom who has advanced something or other. Oh and hmm yeah you could pass for Hel or Morrighan
Ase Sjong: and that Makes you cerranos or as we call him Baldur
Vincent.DiAntoni shrugs, but relaxes bit. "It's alright." and, catching Fiona's glance, simply shrugs again and sips at his coffee, listening. Sometimes Fiona really was better at the social interaction ... thing. He looks at Loki and ALMOST says something, then doesn't. It's like a nearly physical struggle with testosterone.
Lokii Sjong so whats to do outside of hijacking a ferry and going to Vancouver?
Fiona.Reinhardt takes in what Ase said about the houseboat, looking concerned about their mom at that part and actively listening to her. Fiona bites her lip watching Vincent with a little sigh and then a small smile "Baldur huh....I just call him Minstrel." She winks at Vincent and then slips her hand into his from underneath before looking back at Lokii "Well I've never hijacked one but there's a thought. Brings about the possibility of total piracy doesn't it? What does this town have going on besides books and cool coffee shops?"
Ase Sjong Minstrel You play or sing I wasn't born with that talent i just act sometimes there isn't alot to do here, but hopefully some of us townie kids want to start some clubs and a gamer night. with some kids from cedar point.
Vincent.DiAntoni blushes, but smiles a little at his nickname, and holds the proffered hand. Then he looks at Loki. "Well .... it's Winter Festival in Alexandra. The ferry stop before this one. Fiona is going to be singing at a couple of the concerts." he points out. "We don't have a bookstore but we have two coffee houses." he looks at the girl. "I play. Fiona sings. We have a band in Alexandra. Cedar point is kinda far for me."
Lokii Sjong Ponders then schemes you know we are midway maybe if we get the rents OK with everyone we could do stuff here as well or just call me Pirate.
Fiona.Reinhardt looks intrigued "We could take turns hosting. What kind of games are you thinking of? Like board games? Murder mystery!" She looks excited by that idea.
Ase Sjong Lokii likes them all but him and computers ... but you know he still has to beat me in clue.
Vincent.DiAntoni considers Loki's words and looks at Fi as if she's read his mind and is excited about it. Then he looks at her. "I can ask Mr Jackson to change the schedule ... cause I'm doin that .. thing..."
Ase Sjong Hey Tante' Rose are we still good for the attic as a game room?
Doctor Song Yes I think that's a very good use for it
Fiona.Reinhardt beams "I love Clue. you know they have Harry Potter Clue now? You use...get this the Marauder's map!" She pokes Vincent "That thing? Is it a secret?" She teases "Vincent's going to have some of his music on an album with a bunch of famous people. That's the THING that shall not be named." She looks between the twins and then aunt "Mystery games in an attic....sounds delightfully murderous."
Lokii Sjong In a Victorian attic at that with no windows.
Vincent.DiAntoni blinks at the mention of he computers and game rooms. "You guys ... have all that AND a yacht?" he looks at Fiona. "Um ... no ... not really .. no .. it's not" he stammers as she outs him right there and then blushes. "Big Victorian ....... wow." he drinks deeply from his coffee and smooth at his sweater and the large pea coat on his lap.
Ase Sjong it was from Tante Rose's father we think she gets money from but she would rather work than act all rich and stuck up same with us we would rather be like everyone else than be looked at as rich and stuff. its a Norwegian thing. But woah an album that's just cool.
Fiona.Reinhardt notices Vincent's self consciousness but his reasons don't completely register immediately. She looks at the twins and just nods "Must be an interesting house then." She looks around for a clock, and not seeing one, casually pulls out her phone to check the time.
Doctor Song Åse and Lokii i hate to break up the party but you both need to get your tasks done.
Vincent.DiAntoni arches his brow. "So why even the OFFER of free coffee and shit?" he blows out a breath. "Never mind. Forget I said that." he kills his coffee and sets the mug on the table. "It's a couple of American Neo-soul artists .... but I'm getting paid and royalties so .... " he looks at his phone. "We ..might want to grab that ferry or we have to wait another hour ....."
Lokii Sjong aw man but yeah we better sis
Lokii Sjong: Cause I saw you standing out side and thought ok they look cool but i bet they are cold as hell and a Norwegian never lets a stranger get cold
Fiona.Reinhardt frowns slightly at Vincent for the briefest second but then offer the twins a smile "Thanks for the chat you guys....and the hospitality. I'm sure we'll see you next shops day." she squeezes Vincent's hand now "Let's catch that ferry Minstrel?" She laughs at Lokii "We are definitely cool but as Canucks we also LOVE the cold."
Lokii Sjong Noted
Vincent.DiAntoni nods, slowly and stands, getting back in his coat and picking up his bag. "Yea .... we can handle it. Great coffee. Great to meet you. See ya."
Lokii Sjong: safe trip home guys we'll see yas next shop day
Vincent.DiAntoni rushes up to Fiona, panting slightly. "Got lost." he rolls his eyes.
Lokii Sjong yeah almost i still got the last interview
Fiona.Reinhardt leans in and kisses Vincent on the cheek "I confused you by mentioning that bookstore. Sorry." She reaches and pushes on the big heavy metal door "Oh my god..."

"It's a couple of American Neo-soul artists .... but I'm getting paid and royalties so .... " he looks at his phone. "We ..might want to grab that ferry or we have to wait another hour ....."
Lokii Sjong aw man but yeah we better sis
Lokii Sjong: Cause I saw you standing out side and thought ok they look cool but i bet they are cold as hell and a Norwegian never lets a stranger get cold
Fiona.Reinhardt frowns slightly at Vincent for the briefest second but then offer the twins a smile "Thanks for the chat you guys....and the hospitality. I'm sure we'll see you next shops day." she squeezes Vincent's hand now "Let's catch that ferry Minstrel?" She laughs at Lokii "We are definitely cool but as Canucks we also LOVE the cold."

Vincent.DiAntoni nods, slowly and stands, getting back in his coat and picking up his bag. "Yea .... we can handle it. Great coffee. Great to meet you. See ya."
