Feb. 17th, 2005 03:17 am-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby hops onto the top of Cos' head.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby says, "Coooooosssss tell me a story."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "OK!"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "This one time? At band camp?"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy kiddings. "I don't play any instruments."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Thom Kallor says, "I don't want to hear where you put your trumpet."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby curls up in a blankie.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy tucks Vi in.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "Once upon a time - because that's how all the best stories begin - there was a little girl with stars in her eyes whose father was a heroic king."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "She had two older sisters - one was thirteen, and a royal terror, and the other was sixteen and breathtakingly beautiful, but very very boring."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "The little girl was ten. She wasn't loud, like her one sister, or lovely, like her other sister. But she had more dreams than the other two had ever even heard of, nevermind /had/, put together."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby big eyes at Cos as she listens. This is a good story.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "One day, she knew, she would be as bright and good and giving as her kindly father."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Thom Kallor says, "Not the BIG EYES! *whimpers*"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "Every night when she went to bed, she'd wish on the North Star, twinkling and glittering like a diamond or a dewdrop in the morning sun. 'I want to grow up to help people, like my daddy. I want to fight monsters and save towns, and glow like the moon when it gets out of bed,' she would wish with all her heart."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "One night,"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "Her royal terror of a thirteen-year-old sister heard her."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "'Oh, Cally,' she said disdainfully, for Calliope was the little girl's name, 'you're too /little/. You'll even be little when you grow /up/. You could never fight monsters.'"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "But Calliope, hurt as she was by her sister's harsh words, knew that it didn't matter how big she was."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby chews on the hem of her blanket as she listens.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem says, "Jesus Christ I'm actually interested in this now."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "The next night, her other sister came into her room before she wished on the North Star. Her lovely, doe-eyed sister, with the shimmering golden hair and the pale skin like new cream. She came in and sad sadly, 'Oh, Cally. Don't break our dear father's heart by putting yourself in danger. Find a sweet young prince and marry him.'"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Thom Kallor says, "Someone record this. We can play back the holo for Jotin."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "But Calliope, disheartened as she was by her other sister's dire predictions of heartbreak on their father's part, knew that the lovely girl did not speak for their father."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "So the very next night, after making her wishes silently and waiting in bed until the lights in her sisters' rooms across the hall went out - and even a little bit afterwards, just to make sure - Calliope snuck out of her room and through wide dark corridors carpeted thickly in soft red velvet."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem says, "Velvet carpets. What a preppy bitch."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Brainiac 5 laughs.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "She tiptoed through great halls, through the armory, through rooms of shadowy statues and the disapproving portraits of ancestors, through passages dank with must and creepy with dust and cobwebs..."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "Until she found herself in the kitchen."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem says, "...fire the maid."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "The bright, warm kitchen, with walls painted a cheery yellow and potted ivy on the windowsills. There, she knew, she would find her father having a laugh and a cold sandwich with the head cook, after a long day of heroic deeds and wearisome politics."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "'What's this?' he said, eyes wide, like a giant in the big wooden chair at the kitchen's table, by the hearth. 'Little Calliope, awake at this hour? What's troubling you, dear heart? Bad dreams? An ache in your belly?' But his sandwich was put down, and his arms held open, ready to gather her in a bearhug."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "But the little girl stood firm in her nightdress, hands clenched into fists and jaw set stubbornly. 'No, no, Da,' she said, voice only wavering a little. 'I'm all right. Only - I wanted to know - can I grow up to be like you? Or will I always be too little, and will you be afraid if I go into danger, to help people, like you do?'"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy omgs. Vi, do I have to finish this?
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem says, "Yes."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy dammits.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem wants to know now, damnit.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem is a sucker for a story.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Thom Kallor grins. :)
-= Legion of Superheroes =- /~*/ Jenni Ognats makes biiiiiig golden eyes at Cos. Finish? Prettyplease?
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Brainiac 5 says, "I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for her to round a corner and run into a massive orgy that ruins her naive and innocent world view for ever."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Who Wants A Meatshake? Tenzil Kem says, "Yes. Let's hear about the orgy."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby just stares desperately at Cos.
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "'Come here, my little one; come here. Your heart is big enough for all of your dreams, and mine is strong enough to bear the worry I hold for *all* my daughters,' said the gentle king, folding his littlest daughter into into his arms, holding her close. 'You can be whatever you set your mind to being; you can accomplish any task your heart sets as a course.' He kissed her forehead and set her back down, smiling. 'Now go to bed, dearest.'"
-= Legion of Superheroes =- (Not to Roll), Cosmic Boy says, "And that is how the youngest daughter became Queen when her heroic father died, many years later. She had a heart that was big enough to hold the entire kingdom."
-= Legion of Superheroes =- Blooming, Salu Digby mellllllltls.
