Lifting a glass to the newcomer, “Well said. Finding a partner is not always easy but the right one for the right story and it is like making sweet music together.”

 

[JackHemingway]

Raises a glass in return. "Yes, it will happen in time. I have a lovely partner for one story, and she's very talented. I just have more ideas but it will happen in time."

Morning CG, finally found a little time to come visiting again.

Sleep is never a good trade off Glad, I find myself going short on it far too often. I'm still blocked on a pile of stuff that I desperately want to finish.

Time can be an elusive commodity that leave to much work and not enough leisure time Strange.

Glad I am lucky in that it may take a while but I get a good 8hrs of sleep a night as a rule, catching up on the sleep I missed in service.

A well-stocked bar. Let's go with an aged rum; I'm sure you have some cola made with sugarcane.

It is good to be here and finally make my way in. I like writing roleplays here at Lit and, well, just getting back into it with a good one. It is hard to find the right partner to write with here, but when I do, it is beautiful—something I enjoy about writing with someone else.

Looking around at all the bar patrons.

Well Jack we try and have a well-stocked bar. I mix Jack's Cuba Libre with aged rum, cola, and a twist of lime.

I agree writing with a partner is quite enjoyable. And yes it is getting harder to fine a good writing partner.

 

[JackHemingway]

*Raises a glass to the bartender and then places a gold coin on the bar.

"Yes, I'm not sure why, but there used to be so many stories in this once-thriving community. I like roleplaying with people and sharing ideas. Found one, and I'll find other nice people."

 

[The_gladiator]

Who are you writing with now Jack?” He asks as he drains his tea and moves to the bar to order a diet coke.

His eyes glance to cg, “Are you retired now CG?”

 

[JackHemingway]

"A lovely Lilith who is a joy to write with. I don't think we have shared interests in everything, nor should we. I hope the story we're doing goes on for a while."

 

[cgraven]

Lifting a glass to the newcomer, “Well said. Finding a partner is not always easy but the right one for the right story and it is like making sweet music together.”

Yes Glad I am after 24 years,

 

[The_gladiator]

Yes Glad I am after 24 years,

That’s a long time, thank you for your service.” He smiles “My father fully retired last year from the family business and my mother is working on retiring.”

 

[cgraven]

I tinker about the house and I try and keep busy.

 

[The_gladiator]

I tinker about the house and I try and keep busy.

“Sometimes that’s a good thing. I think that’s what helped my grandfather live so long was staying busy.”

 

[cgraven]

Gald it's simple we are like machinery you keep moving or you rust.

 

[The_gladiator]

“Makes sense. That’s what my wife does with her arthritis, keep moving so her joints don’t freeze up.”

 

[cgraven]

Glad I am quite familiar with arthritis my joints sound like catenates in the morning Glad.

 

[The_gladiator]

Yeah, my bain is what I believe is neuropathy. I can no longer hop out of bed and rush to the bathroom, I have to go slower encase my feet don’t want to work.”

 

[cgraven]

We are just slowly breaking down Glad. The slower the better.

 

[cgraven]

I do try to slow down the whole process.

 

[JackHemingway]

He was stirring his drink and looking about the place.

I love writing, but damn, sometimes it is so hard.

 

[cgraven]

That it can be Jack but then it great when it all comes together. But it at times requires hard work.

 

[JackHemingway]

Oh yes, I agree. I'm playing an online roleplay game where I've just started a business with exotic dancers and fine spirits. I thoroughly enjoyed composing an ad for a fake business for a game. I love the roleplay and submitting the turns. I'm back to finish another long-time writing project I've dragged out in another group. Why? Because I enjoyed it, and it shouldn't be left unfinished. I am still looking for others to write with. I've been approached a few times by women, but I have no interest in some of the things they're into and don't want to give them a less-than-satisfactory experience. I like fetishes and all manner of naughty fun, but it should be part of a good story.

*Sips on another Rum & Cola*

 

[The_gladiator]

He sighs and rubs his eyes, "You aren't kidding. My last post took quite a while to write. I like it but still more than I've written in a while."

 

[JackHemingway]

It takes effort like working out and other worthwhile pursuits. When you get to a milestone, whether it is finishing a chapter or a lap on the track, you get a good feeling you're worth sacrificing for.

Well said Jack.

Glad you look a bit tired.

 

[JackHemingway]

Looks about the place and nods.

More than a bit tired. Never understood that phrase a young old man until recently.

*Stirs the drink and looks above the bar.

Thanks for noticing.

 

[The_gladiator]

“I am tired cg, haven’t slept well a few days now.” He shrugs, “Such is life sometimes. I felt like I accomplished a lot though yesterday.”

*stepping from the darkest shadows in the corners of the inn, leaving his mate to rest, he to stiffles a yawn, his trenchcoat settling around him as he moves to the bar, the almost silent thud of his boots on the old wooden floor and the scrap of a stool he sighs*

yea, the tired seems to be going around, *his eyes flash amber as he gazes around, seeing new, and old faces alike he nods to each* Whiskey, please CG,
