Jo has, apparently, adopted the attic of the DF Mansion as her writing spot, and is comfortably ensconced at a desk near a window. She is writing, of course, and taking the odd bite of an apple. She can, of course, be bothered by anyone who wishes to speak to her.

If I change, we'll go to Paris?

Teddy? *smiles* Let's go to Paris, shall we? *has her bag packed already!*

Better late than never

I hope you like them, dears. *Typist would like to add Jo made them herself*

Armand gave me a kitten. His name is Aristotle, courtesy of Teddy. Isn't he adorable?

*looks as if she is about to blurt something else out, but then doesn't*

If I'm going to be here, I suppose I might as well use this thing, once in a while. So hello there, whoever reads this.

*flails* Look!!!

*beams, speechless*

Confused

2005-04-27T07:09:59Z

J0M4I2CH: *waves*
RomanBeauty1868: Hullo.
RomanBeauty1868: *stays across the room from Jo*
J0M4I2CH: *does as well*
J0M4I2CH: *glowers*
SaunterDownwards: Hello, you two. Now, what's this I hear about ... tackling?
RomanBeauty1868: HA! You can't stay across the room from yourself!
RomanBeauty1868: *runs over to Laurie* She was chasing me and being mean.
J0M4I2CH: Do make some form of sense, Amy.
RomanBeauty1868: A grammatical error on your part -- you always made fun of my way of speaking.
J0M4I2CH: *rolls eyes* Whatever.
SaunterDownwards: *blinks* Sibling rivalry again?
J0M4I2CH: ....*sighs* No, Laurie.
RomanBeauty1868: *frowns wryly* Yes.
SaunterDownwards: *is adorably clueless* Oh. Well, what started it?
J0M4I2CH: *awww's inwardly* *blushes* Erm. You, actually.
RomanBeauty1868: *blinks* Er. Well. You.
RomanBeauty1868: *doesn't completely melt no really honest*
SaunterDownwards: .... Me? How did I start the fight? *bewilderment*
RomanBeauty1868: Oh, no, it's not your fault, Jo's just being stupid.
J0M4I2CH: *cough* *blushes liek whoa, seriously now* Erm. I..you..OhGod. *BBRs*
SaunterDownwards: Well, then what's the problem?
RomanBeauty1868: Jo thinks you're her, er, suitor. But you're not.
RomanBeauty1868: *hides behind Laurie*
J0M4I2CH: *glowers while blushing* Watch yourself, Amy. *turns to Laurie* Erm. Idohavefeelingsforyou.
SaunterDownwards: Well, I believe you already know my er .. feelings for you.
J0M4I2CH: ...*gulps* ...Care to..er..refresh my memory?
RomanBeauty1868: *flails*
SaunterDownwards: Well ... you know that I ... love you, don't you Jo? *glances over at Amy's flailing, though*
RomanBeauty1868: *blinks and goes still* . . . Oh.
J0M4I2CH: *flails inwardly* You..you do? *nearly a squeak* Really, Laurie?
SaunterDownwards: Truly. But ... *pauses and looks over at Amy* ever since you ... denied your feelings in return, I have been ... attempting to suppress my own.
J0M4I2CH: *squeaks* I...I was stupid, as usual, Laurie. I didn't mean it, really I didn't!
RomanBeauty1868: *looks vaguely hopeful*
SaunterDownwards: I ... rather hoped that you didn't. However, you know how sometimes you can convince yourself of certain ... feelings.
J0M4I2CH: *shakes head* I..Laurie, I do love you....I really don't know what I was thinking.. *is adorably flustered and pink*
SaunterDownwards: I know that you do. It was rather evident the second time that I met you. However .. *yet -another- glance at Amy* ... *rushed* I think I may have feelings for you sister, too.
SaunterDownwards: *so embarrassed*
RomanBeauty1868: *perks up considerably*
J0M4I2CH: *face falls* .....Oh. Well, then. I'll just...leave you to it, shall I?
SaunterDownwards: You forget that I said the word "too". ... I .. *frustrated* This is rather ungentlemanly of me. I apologize to you both.
RomanBeauty1868: *trying to give a little smile* Well, you can't really help it now, can you, dear? It's -- it's one of those things you can't really control --
J0M4I2CH: *sighs* And here I go acting like the rash idiot, again. You've no need to apologise, Laurie, really..
SaunterDownwards: I ... just. You both are charming young ladies in different ways, and ... Yes, I can't exactly help it.
J0M4I2CH: *sighs again and pounds the wall with a fist* Laurie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you...I've made a mess of things.
RomanBeauty1868: Ah. I -- I suppose we must simply wait for you to choose.
SaunterDownwards: *to Jo* No, no - it's not your fault at all. *pales a little* Choose? Ah .. *sighs* I suppose I will have to at some point.
RomanBeauty1868: Well, I don't think it's a requirement, but a little certainty would be nice.
J0M4I2CH: *leans against the wall, still rather red* For once, I agree with Amy. But do take your time.
RomanBeauty1868: Yes, we wouldn't want to rush you.
SaunterDownwards: *nods and turns to Amy* And ... what about you? How are your feelings towards me? ... This must seem too forward, but I must know before making a decision...
RomanBeauty1868: *blushes deeply* Oh! Well. *blinks, glances at Jo, lowering her voice nearly to a whisper* I love you.
J0M4I2CH: *stares at the wall, pretending to ignore that*
SaunterDownwards: *turns slightly pink, too* Oh. Well, alright then. I- I .. certainly need plenty of time to think about this.
J0M4I2CH: *coolly* I concur, Teddy.
RomanBeauty1868: Ah. Yes. Of course.
SaunterDownwards: *a slightly sad look towards Jo, at the cool manner* If you ladies will ... excuse me, then?
RomanBeauty1868: *quietly* Yes, of course. Good night.
J0M4I2CH: *nods* Good night, Amy. Good night, Teddy.

Um. Well. That was interesting, shall we say. Yes. Interesting would be a good word for it.

Amy, I'm sorry. Forgive me?

[03:05] Laurie: *wanders in*
[03:06] Jo-March: *looks up from writing* *squeaks* Laurie!!
[03:07] Laurie: *grins broadly* Jo! There you are!
[03:07] Jo-March: *tacklehugs* Hello!
[03:08] Laurie: *hugs back* How have you been since I've last seen you? How are your sisters?
[03:09] Jo-March: *grins* Wasting away from lack of Laurie, of course. They're fine, as usual.
[03:13] Laurie: *laughs* I've missed you too. *peers at her writing* And I see that you're up to your usual activities?
[03:14] Jo-March: *grins* Of course I am, would I be doing anything different?
[03:17] Laurie: *fondly* I wouldn't expect anything less. *sits down across from here, and takes up a cookie from the endless plate* What kind of story are you writing? Drama? Romance? Comedy?
[03:18] Jo-March: *blushes* Adventure, actually. Would you like to read?
[03:21] Laurie: *curiously* Adventure, now? You haven't written one of those yet. I'd love to read it, of course, except ... are you sure you would want someone to read an unfinished manuscript?
[03:23] Jo-March: *blushes more* If it's you, I don't mind. *pushes it over*
[03:24] *** Bahorel has left #desperatefans.
[03:26] Laurie: I'm sure it's wonderful, as always. *takes it up and begins to read it*
[03:26] Jo-March: *watches somewhat nervously, but grabs a cookie to hide it* *still has smudges of ink on her face*
[03:29] Laurie: *turns a few pages, the smile on his face on his face getting wider as he reads*
[03:30] Jo-March: *blushes liek whoa*
[03:33] Laurie: *finally finishes it, and sets it down, sliding it back to Jo* That... *dramatic pause* ... was incredible, Jo. You've really outdone yourself, this time.
[03:34] Jo-March: *BBRs* Thank you..*grins* I still need to change some parts, though.
[03:36] Laurie: *grins back* Of course. You're making so much progress, though. I can tell it.
[03:37] Jo-March: *seriously, her face is going to explode soon* Thanks.
[03:39] Laurie: *leans back a little in his seat* How has working with your aunt been, lately?
[03:40] Jo-March: *makes a face* Lovely, as usual. *shakes head* At least I can get out of the house, though, hmm?
[03:43] Laurie: *sighs* Thought as much. It's always nice to get out. Grandfather's been a bit more strict lately, which is always a bother.
[03:45] Jo-March: *grabs hand* I'm sorry, Laurie. *grins* Perhaps I can get some time off, and things'll be as they used to! Wouldn't that be lovely?
[03:49] Laurie: *smiles* That would be wonderful. I haven't had a decent outing with you in -ages-. *and so totally doesn't even mention any of her sisters*
[03:51] Jo-March: *laughs* Lovely, then! I'll ask Aunt next time I see her. *smiles back, and sototallydoesn'tnoticethis,ofcoursenot*
[03:57] Laurie: *grins* Sounds like a plan, then.
[03:59] Jo-March: *beams* Wonderful. *looks down at his hand, which she's still holding* ... *doesn't let go*
[04:05] Laurie: *blushes, just a little, but hey, they're friends so it's ok, right?* *doesn't withdraw hand either though* ... Acted out any more plays lately?
[04:07] Jo-March: *is also a very little bit red* ...*laughs* Not lately, we've all been busy. I do hope we shall soon, though. *still has ink on her face*
[04:10] Laurie: That's a shame. I really liked all of your productions. *peers at her and laughs* You always manage to get ink all over your face, do you realize that? Writers. *shakes his head fondly, and uses his free hand to take out a handkercheif and rub at a spot on her chin*
[04:12] Jo-March: *smiles embarrassedly* You should help us, otherwise I have to be all the male roles. *blushes a bit more* It's not as though I can -help- it, I don't notice.
[04:19] Laurie: I'm not much for acting. And you do a wonderful job with the male roles. And female roles too, of course. *puts his handkerchief away again* Of course you don't. That's the sign of a true writer.
[04:22] Jo-March: *giggles* I'm sure you'd do a lovely job, Laurie. Like..as..Hamlet, perhaps. Or even Romeo. *blush is slowly growing brighter* Though I daresay Meg or Amy would be your Juliet.
[04:27] Laurie: *grins* Do you think so? Well, between the two of us, Amy isn't much of an actor, like you are. And frankly, Meg sometimes scares me.
[04:29] Jo-March: *smiles* Yes, I do think so. *pauses a moment, considering* Beth wouldn't want a leading role....*laughs* So I suppose that leaves me, doesn't it?
[04:31] Laurie: *smiles, catching her glance a little longer than intended, and then looking away* I suppose it does. ... I'm sure you'd be brilliant at it.
[04:35] Jo-March: *grins and looks down at her manuscript, still quite pink* Well, I see we'll just have to do 'Romeo and Juliet' next, to find out, won't we?
[04:38] Laurie: I suppose that after this long discussion, we'll have to. ... *makes a face and laughs good naturedly* See what you've done? Now you've made me promise to take part in your next play.
[04:40] Jo-March: *sticks out tongue* You would have agreed anyways, had Beth begged you. *giggles* Indeed we will. *considers* Shall I be Mercutio, as well? That'd be fun.
[04:47] Laurie: Well ... of course. How can anyone refuse something that Beth asks? *thinks* I think that you would make a fine Mercutio. Dramatic dying scenes seem to be your forte. *grins*
[04:48] Jo-March: *laughs* But of course. *dramatic bow* And I'll get two, even! *still hasn't let go of hand* And you shall avenge my death, shall you not, dear Romeo?
[04:56] Laurie: *mischievous smile* Let us hope that your hair will not fall out of your cap during the death scene, this time. Beth told me about that one time it did. *in an overly dramatic fashion* Of course my lady Juliet, I will revenge thee. ... It seems odd to be quoting these lines with the actual characters present here.
[04:58] Jo-March: *smacks lightly* We can only hope, then. *pauses and giggles* It does, indeed. Though I hear a few of the French fellows put on a production of Hamlet with the Prince himself. -That- must have been amusing.
[05:00] Laurie: With the Prince himself? Should I assume that he played ... himself, or did he play another role? I would certainly give anything to see that.
[05:02] Jo-March: *tilts head* I think he played Laertes in the final scene, with the duel and everything. Apparently one of the fellows whom I share a typist with was Horatio. *laughs* I do wonder how Hamlet felt about that, though...
[05:05] Laurie: *blinks a little* He was Laertes? *laughs* That must have been awkward to play. *finally slips his hand out of hers', but not without gently squeezing her hand first* I'm terribly sorry Jo, but my typist must be off to bed. I -do- hope you'll forgive me for leaving you so soon after we've met up again?
[05:08] Jo-March: *smiles* Indeed. *squeezes back, a bit shyly* Quite alright, Laurie. Of course I'll forgive you, but only if you promise to speak to me again quite soon. *grins* My typist should be off to bed, too.
[05:11] Laurie: *grins* Of course I'll speak to you soon, you silly girl. You know that I couldn't bear to be away for a long time. *stands up, giving her one more slightly shy glance* I will see you later, Jo.
[05:13] Jo-March: *pouts playfully* I do hope I'm not silly, Laurie. *takes a deep breath, then stands on tiptoe and kisses on the cheek* I should hope you couldn't stand to leave. *pauses, for a moment* See you, then...
[05:15] Laurie: *cheeks flush very faintly* Of course you're not silly. Well, goodbye for the moment then. Parting is such sweet sorrow ... Or something like that. *smiles at her one last time, and then leaves*
[05:17] Jo-March: *blushesliekwhoa* Goodbye, then. *waves and watches him go, smiling*

.....I cannot believe I did that. *still bright red* Oh dear, I hope he doesn't think I'm a silly flirt like Amy....I don't want him to think that.
