Spell 11

[spellcast]

I definitely have had my fill of haunted mansions for a lifetime. Hope Halloween won't be as crazy.

Hey, Misuzu? Remember I said I'd find you a jigsaw puzzle you and I could work on? I got several boxes of them! Some of them are 500 to 700 pieces, so we got all the time in the world to finish them.

((So Sabrina pinged up some boxes of jigsaw puzzles. The jigsaw puzzles are just normal puzzles of stuff like flowers, cottages, paintings yadda yadda. But if you want, and since there's a lot of boxes of puzzles, the picture can turn out to be a person you know on Island. Misuzu and Sabrina will both be tagging))

W-wow! How did you find that many?

[spellcast]

I think I just got lucky. I found these in my cave after leaving the haunted mansion. Do you like them?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're great! We should start with one of the bigger ones.

[spellcast]

Sure! 100 pieces or 500 pieces?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

500, probably. 100 sounds like a lot, b-but when you look at them it really isn't many pieces at all.

[spellcast]

All right then. *shuffling through the boxes* There's a jigsaw puzzle of a painting of a cottage with a big flower garden, bridge, and stream. Wanna start with that first?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

That sounds good. It's really cute.

[spellcast]

*opening the box and pouring out the pieces* I guess we better find all the edges first? It should be easier to start from there.

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Yeah! The edges and corners and stuff help a lot. I think it helps to organize the pieces while I'm looking for them, though. S-so like... put all of the flower pieces in one area for later.

[spellcast]

Yeah, that's a good idea too.

After we're done with this, want to bring some of the boxes home?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Bring them home?

[spellcast]

Well, back to where you're staying on here?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, I would like that a lot. It would be fun to try to do them with Mommy, too.

[spellcast]

Great! Help yourself afterwards then. *found a corner and two pieces that fit together so setting that aside*

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Ah... I doubt Mommy is any good with puzzles. Nihaha~ It'll be fun anyway, though.

*still searching for edge pieces and kind of putting them aside*

[spellcast]

*helping to put pieces that look similar together* Hey, Misuzu? I'm not sure if I asked this already, but what part of Japan did you live in?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

I live in Kasumi. It's a really nice town! I really love it there. It's by the beach, and the summers are warm.

[spellcast]

That sounds like a really nice place! I live in Boston, in America. It's pretty straight forward with its seasons. Oh, look I think I found the last corner.

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Ah, good job! Next we fill in the rest of the border... I don't know much about America. I missed a lot of school, so...

[spellcast]

Really? Why's that?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

I... I got sick a lot. So I missed a lot of school. I came in during the summer for make-up classes and extra work, though.

[spellcast]

Whoa, that sucks. Summer should be for having fun, but I guess it couldn't be helped huh?

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! I enjoyed doing those projects. I did a lot of studying on my town and the legends that come from it. I didn't mind it at all.

[spellcast]

I should go visit Japan sometime after I finish college. I mean, it's not like I can't, but--...

Huh. It just occurred to me that if I haven't been kidnapped by this place, I would have been in college by now.

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Really? I would still be in high school if I kept going... I think.

[spellcast]

Well, it's not a bad thing NOT to be in college, but I was looking forward to it. New experience and all you know? *connecting more pieces*

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I... Hadn't really thought of what I was going to do after high school. *just sifting through the pieces*

[spellcast]

What would you like to be? I mean, you don't necessarily have to go to college even though most people choose that. Do what you think makes you happy!

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Lately I've been thinking I would like to work at a day-care and take care of kids.

[spellcast]

Awww! That's so cute!

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

Nihaha, is it? I just really like kids, so...

[spellcast]

I'm sure they'd like someone as nice as you too.

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

I hope so...

[spellcast]

Let's see, I think we got all the edge pieces now.

[never-winged.livejournal.com]

So now it's just figuring out the rest of it. ... *trying to piece together random similarly-colored pieces oAo*

What about you, what do you want to do when you're done with college?

[spellcast]

Here, how about we try to finish the house first? That's the biggest part of the puzzle. *taking house... colored pieces*

Hm, I actually don't know! I have a part-time job at a coffee shop right now, but as for a real job... Maybe something like journalist sort of job.
