The Book of Life

[Brilliand]

Alfred turned away from the stand, shake in hand, to see Bob approaching. "Bob! Fancy seeing you here. Up for a rematch?"

Bob's jaw dropped. "Uh... Here? In the grass? Won't it mess up your chess set?"

Alfred shrugged. "Well, I had it on a stump at the other end of the park, but it'll be fine. So, how about a game?"

Bob looked at the chessboard warily. Obviously Alfred had been practicing, and Bob hadn't. But perhaps for the sake of camaraderie...

"Well, OK." Bob plopped down on the grass, one leg underneath him and the other bent in front of him, so that the knee nearly touched his chin.

Alfred glanced at the fruit stand, then walked around Alfred and sat down where they wouldn't get in the way of customers. He dumped out the pieces, then sat down cross-legged and set down the board. Alfred and Bob began setting up their pieces.

"Nope." Edie said shortly as she and Edward stepped away from the window. Edie sat on a bench, "I was just thinking about how much simpler life was before we found this thing, I kinda miss it just being you and me, hanging out, me making fun of you... Though that hasn't changed. Maybe if we do stop for a while we can get them off our backs and we can just start again, living normal teenage angsty lives."

John ran to catch up to Yuzuki but stopped in the middle of his tracks when he saw Edward and Edie sitting by the window. "Guys, why are you sitting by the window? You can come and sit with Yuzuki and me so you won't be lonely sitting there all by yourselves, or better yet," John said before signaling Yuzuki to come and sit with Edward and Edie as he sat down on a empty place. (Are we on the bus or somewhere else?)

((Some building that was supposed to be the biggest in the world or whatever but they stopped the construction. I don't know why the heck they are showing high school students some dumb building but here we are. And Yuzuki is standing up. ))

Yuzuki didn't see John.

 

[BigC]

"Yuzuki! Come on! Are you so surprised that I have to get up and carry you over here?" John yelled to get her attention.

Dee glanced around the park. No one else around, at least that were intent on buying a beverage. She sat back down on the bench and faced the two guys playing chess. She folded her arms on her knees and leaned forward to watch the game. It would probly be one of the only sources of mental stimulation, aside from customers.

Yuzuki turned and saw John, Edie and Edward. "I didn't hear you last time." She replied as she moved over to them.

 

[BigC]

John laughed as Yuzuki came closer. "Well, maybe if you paid attention I would't have to yell out to you" he said to Yuzuki as she sat down. "That reminds me, I might as well get some exercise in, as I have been lacking off on it. Oh, and Edward, Edie how's the book coming along?"

 

[WhiteLily]

((Do john and yuzuki know about the Book? I mean, it's powers?))

 

[Quantum X]

((Yuzuki doesn't. She'll be horrified when she finds out what they are doing.))

 

[Quantum X]

((*Listens to crickets chirp*

 

[BigC]

((John doesn't know either, he's just asking if the book is good.))

 

[Quantum X]

((So we're waiting on chance..))

 

[BigC]

John gets on the floor and starts to do pushups. "I always keep my body in tip-top shape, which accounts for what Yuzuki got to see last night, and no, not that, what I mean is my abs, she got to see my abs after I got out of the shower this morning," John laughed as he switched to one arm pushups.

 

[Quantum X]

Yuzuki didn't really understand what he said, so she shrugged.

((Guys, remember, she's more nervous than Oogoo about John...))

 

[BigC]

((So we're waiting on chance..))

((We don't have to wait on Chance, we can continue without him, sheesh are you incapable of continuing on your own?))

 

[Quantum X]

((No of course not. John asked him a question.))

Edward sat down next to Yuzuki, as the tour guide showed them a powerpoint explaining the construction of the building. Soon, they would get to the top floor.

"John!! Get up off that floor!! We're here to learn history, not increase our muscle mass!!" the chaparone said. Edward supressed a snicker.

"The book's...um, okay." Edward said.

 

[Quantum X]

"The weird book you bought in that shop?" Yuzuki asked.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"Yes....I'm still having trouble translating some of it...." Edward said. He didn't dare show it to them, though. Besides, he had given it to Edie.
