So then what are everyones plans for the summer? I know that personally i will be taking at least a few weeks off from everything if at all possible after those bloody owls.
Naturally ill start up the summer curriculum homework afterward but golly do i need a break.
Maybe ill go camping. That sounds like a splendid idea. Would anyone like to join me?

--ah, mister Rogers, I think this textbook is yours.

[[ooc; Jake is packing his things in his trunk to leave. Anybody that wants to bother him in his room is also welcome, though the not-network part of this post is directed at Steve.]]

[Steve looks over at Jake and the textbook for a second before walking over]

Sure is, thanks. [takes it back with a smile] You do know you can call me Steve right?

[shitknickers]

Ah, right, yes, I'm sure you've told me that before. We just don't see each other often so I like to be respectable.

[He hands off the textbook.] Looking forward to summer vacation then, chap?

[starspangledavenger]

You get to see me drool on my pillow often enough, I think it's fine to be on a first name basis. [chuckles]

Somewhat, probably be working for most of it. Mostly just glad O.W.L.s are over. How 'bout yourself?

[shitknickers]

Fair enough.

Golly, am I ever. I feel like I only passed by the skin of my teeth.

[seeringlight]

Other than visiting the Strider residence for a short period of time, I don't really have too many things planned.
You are, however, welcome to stay at my villa for however long you wish to stay. Have you ever ridden a horse before? I promise that it is enjoyable as it is exhilarating.
Camping though. Where would you go exactly for it?

[shitknickers]

I suppose i will also be visiting the striders given that theyve all but adopted me.
I would verymuch like that however. And... erm well. I suppose if you so fancy it i would be delighted to take you out for an evening or several. *tugs collar* I havent ridden a horse no. Though i used to ride dingoes as a tot.
Hmm i havent really decided yet! That part is still in the works.

[seeringlight]

Horses are magnificent creatures. I think you might enjoy it if you rode dingoes. :)
We have a few horses so I'm sure one of them will take to you.

Please do keep me updated. I would like to experience camping at least once. I can't say I've done it before.

[strideallknight]

i have no idea
though you should expect to get kidnapped by the strider side of the family once rose is done with you and youre done playing meet the mom
probably heading over to the crockbert residence at some point
mostly it depends on whether or not bros taking us to greece
also
where would this camping take place
this is a very important question cause knowing you youd suggest camping in the forbidden forest if nobody put a leash on you

[shitknickers]

Christ on a cracker i do have to meet her mum dont i. Good golly.
I did anticipate some strider kidnapping though. Though is it still kidnapping if its willing?
Now THAT is an idea!!
Though the fact that we arent on school grounds for the summer sort of defeats the purpose. Drat. Perhaps another time or on a break when i remain at school.

[strideallknight]

yup
good luck broseph
youre gonna need it
i guess not but its still happening
oh my god no
in dirks place i will fucking tether you to the bed in iron chains and learn the spell that will make it immune to whatever spells you throw at it

[shitknickers]

Is she that frightening? Boy howdy. This ought to be interesting.
Haha. Well either way.
Be careful mister strider that could be taken entirely the wrong way!
And i may very well like it.
*wink*

[toocoolforthis]

I may be an unrepentant city kid, but I don't see why not.
I get the feeling I'll need the break, too.

[shitknickers]

Splendid then! If i have you as my wingman in camping nothing can go wrong. We just need to set a place and a date!

[toocoolforthis]

On the contrary. Haven't you heard of Murphy's law?
That said, I'm sure I can ward it off with my sheer inherited awesomeness.

[shitknickers]

Oh poppycock. I dont know any murphy and im certainly not following his laws!
And yes also that.

[thisonetime_withellis]

camping where?!

[You bet he wants to go.]

[shitknickers]

Havent decided yet chap! Suppose when i do i may very well make a flyer to send out about it given a lot of people seem interested!

[thisonetime_withellis]

you keep me up to date with the info man, i love a good campout!

[shitknickers]

Certainly my good man!

[stubbornskeptic]

I wouldn't mind getting close to nature.
Assuming we bring an adult along to head off the inevitable assassination attempts.
Which I'm sorry to say, are still rather likely. :B

[shitknickers]

Given i believe rose would be along for the trip i strongly doubt mr strider wouldnt come along to chaperone out of sheer will to intimidate me out of anything young couples ought to be doing.
But not to fear my dear jane!
Not a one of us would allow anyone to harm a hair on your precious little baking head.

[stubbornskeptic]

[Jane...is kind of more than okay with that stuff being prevented! At least anywhere where she might stumble into it!]

I appreciate the sentiment, Jake!
But I rather think outside of the efforts our Strider friends might make with their shitty swords, we wouldn't necessarily have much chance at protecting ourselves without magic.
So having the Professor around would be rather nice.
(Not to mention, he'd probably be a little less strict than my own dad, hoo hoo!)

[gnee]

can't really say that i really have any plans.
but.
i'm a city dude at heart, so i'm probably just going to go back home and not even think about teaching for awhile.

i'm also certain you did really well on your owls!

[shitknickers]

Well then consider this a plan made for you!
I hereby cordially invite you if you would like to accompany myself and some chaps on a camping trip for a weekend! I havent quite decided a location or a time yet but ill be sure to send you an owl when that decision is made.
As long as of course that wont equate you thinking about teaching! Bugger knows i wouldnt want to inflict such a thing on you over the summer.

I certainly hope so. Your last minute tutoring i hope did the trick.

[gnee]

oh?

[Hanna is really granted with having the best students around. Some of them are a pain. Then you find ones like Jake. Man. Okay he can say he really likes teaching again.]

count me in then!
i don't think a little camping would hurt anything.
probably some cool stuff out there to explore.
nothing between us and the outdoors.
sounds like one hell of a time!
