Post the Twelfth: The Melodious Music

[mysilenceknot]

[If you are walking by the park you might find a secluded area where a man is sitting in the shade and playing the accoridan. This man would be Lemony. The music sounds something like this but he isn't singing. Just sitting there and playing away]

[And you get an honest to goodness smile. That's his first one here.]

Remarkable. You must enjoy reading a great deal.

Well sure! I've loved reading since I was a kid!

[He nods]

There is something wonderfully remarkable about reading. I enjoy it a great deal myself.

[He puts the accordian to the side. Where there are actually two books stacked.]

I'm terribly sorry. Where are my manners?

My name is Lemony Snicket. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ufosrreal.livejournal.com]

Oh, uhm... My name's Sheska. Its nice to meet you too, Mr. Snicket.

D...do you mind if I sit here?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

((Sheska sets her books down, knocking a few over, but taking them back up a few short seconds later. She sits and opens a book quietly.

Now, he seems like a nice guy, which was part of the reason she sat down, the other part because he wasn't a creepy drone, which was normally who she deals with.

The problem? She sucks at small talk. She reads.... very quickly... Turning pages almost faster than Lemony could look at them.))

[And he's rather curious as she speed reads.]

I'm sorry to disturb you but might I ask what you are reading?

[ufosrreal.livejournal.com]

Ah... Nancy Drew! Here ((She offers the book for him to see. Its one of the more "recent" additions.))

[He takes it and looks at and smiles a little bit]

I remember reading those books. And the Hardy Boys.

Are you enjoying them?

[ufosrreal.livejournal.com]

((She nods a little--) Mhmm! They're kind of easy to read, but a new book's a new book.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

[He nods at it and then holds it back to her]

Yes. And considering how difficult it is to find books in this place.

Y-yea.. some of the... stuff in the women's fiction section kinda... off. ((Romance Novels. ahhh...))
