You know what this place needs?

A good explosion. Something to rattle the cobwebs out of the rafters.

Oh, heck, that reminds me of this one time with Ellis -- that's my best buddy, Ellis -- when we got these knock-off fireworks from this dodgy-looking guy behind the 7-11 and set them off in this abandoned warehouse.

They never did find out it was us that burned it down.

[There's a long pause at this point.]

Whoa! Really? Where at! How come I don't see ya? Meet me by the fireplace!

[And that's where he's gonna head right now, faster than his legs have ever taken him before.]

[Keith leaves the journal where it is and half runs, half slides (almost falls) down the stairs from the six year boy's dorms.

When he gets to the bottom he all but launches himself across the room and tackles Ellis, slinging both arms around his shoulders.]

[Ellis stumbles forward a bit with a 'whoa!' but manages to keep himself upright. He lets out a laugh, breaking into a huge grin, arms coming up to wrap tightly around Keith.]

Damn son, it's been a while!

[thisonetime_withellis]

I know, right! When I said I'd see you over here I meant the summer!

[Tightest bro hug ever, man.]

Shit, it's been killin' me to keep this from you.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[The bestest bro hug that two bros ever shared.]

How ya think I feel? I been keepin' this secret since I was eleven. That's way too long! I wanted to tell ya so bad, but I couldn't, 'cuz I thought I'd get in trouble, and... This WHOLE TIME, man, you been a wizard too?!

[thisonetime_withellis]

Well, yeah! Mam said it made all hells of sense given how I kept fallin' off shit and never really getting hurt. [He grins widely.]

My brothers never got over the jealousy, man.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Well when ya put it like that, it does kinda make sense! It was like nothin' could ever touch ya. Y'all were just... invincible 'n shit.
