Subject: To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak

To my former dance partners,

Found this and was inspired. Thought I'd share for sake of nostalgia. Hope you're all doing well. (Give Stevie my love since I dare not interrupt your important learning time)

Hearts and stars,
Eames

Back from Geneva. Jetlagged. Chocolate to follow.

Do not disturb.

... huh. This reads kind of like one of those old tymey telegrams.

om_upstart

Huh. So, apparently I'll be weekending at the family chalet outside Geneva. Of all the unusual things to have happened to me in the recent past, this ranks somewhere in the middle.

Until Tuesday-ish, then! I'll bring you all back something Swiss. Au revoir!

om_upstart

So. My girlfriend has been back in Kentucky for over a week now. The additional free time has afforded me more opportunity than usual to peruse the internet for interesting oddities.

WHY AM I ONLY LEARNING OF THIS NOW?

"Zoobilee Zoo Theme Song (HQ)" (Watch on YouTube)

If you'll excuse me, my vodka and I have more Zoobles to ... Zoobloo. Or whatever the verb form might be.

There may be a theme party later this year.

And possibly a Zooble Reunion.

We'll see.

om_surge

You wanna know how I'm doing, you ask me.

om_upstart

I just heard there was an incident in the Danger Gym? It wouldn't be a violation of your professional ethics to let me know how Ashida-san is doing, I hope?

And Jean-Paul, of course.

Ashida-san and Jean-Paul.

So. I MAY have had a conversation with Phil this afternoon.

A NAKED conversation. About matters of mutual interest.

Strangely enough, the nudity was largely incidental. <3

Subject: Help?

Hi Shinobi,
So, I kind of need some help. I'm spending Christmas with Brian and Betsy and who knows what other rich people and I don't got the first clue about how not to embarrass him when it comes to using the proper spoon or what to say or not say and wear and how to eat fancy food. Basically everything. Do you think you could help me out? Just a crash course or something? Please? You're the only one I can really ask.
Thanks.

Subject: Hey Girl. Can you help me?

I'm having Christmas with Brian - and Betsy and you know how loud my brain is. He wants me to talk to Xavier about shielding help but I really don't want some old dude poking around in my head. Do you do that kinda thing? Help non-telepaths with shields and stuff? They don't have to be the strongest things ever. Just enough to keep me from leaking images of me and Brian to his sister.
I can pay you (a little).
Let me know?

In an update I'm sure all of you will find hilariously ironic, my voice still hasn't completely recovered from Halloween night. So in lieu of flitting around like a hyperactive magpie to keep the school entertained as I usually would, here is something educational.

You're welcome.

SUBJECT: A Very Important Party

Dear Shinobi,

December 29th is Felix's birthday. We are going to throw him a surprise party on that day (it's a Sunday) and I will need your help with the decorations and coordination. I'm thinking something vintage for a theme as we both know he would love that but to make things extra special we are going to decorate the entire school. Any available space will be decorated according to theme. The whole school will be invited as guests of course but they must dress accordingly if they plan to attend. I want a dinner party and jazz music over the school speakers and I have a very important guest who will be attending as well.

Can I count on your powers of connection and wealth my dear?

Short and sweet, if you hadn't already heard, I skipped out and am living in a flat in town. This is my new email address. The new street addy is in the attachment. Phone is still the same.

No, I'm not coming back.

Spoke to Father today. He's agreed to help with W.W.II.

So, it looks like we've been assigned as a group and I realize that I haven't actually met a number of you yet, at least not in more than a - pass in the hallway situation. To start things off, I'm Philip and have been here since November.

Their ideas of 'training' seem a bit vague, but if people are interested, I can come up with some ideas.

Hi Shinobi.

This might be short notice and maybe you already have plans, but Jean-Paul invited some of us to LeChateau to celebrate a successful season and I thought you might want to go with me? It's nothing fancy, but it sounds like it'll be fun. ~~More fun with you, probably.~~

What do you think?

Having a seriously bad afternoon, got a cure for that my medicine man? Be a friend, I'd really appreciate it.

Konbonwa, Xaviers!

I'm given to understand that this is an obligatory sort of thing, but I've had a long day, so I hope you'll forgive me for keeping this brief. I'm Shinobi Shaw, back in New York after spending several informative years abroad. I am sixteen years old, I love fresh seafood, the smell of hydrangeas, long walks on the beach at night, and I'm a Libra. My favorite color is purple. I speak three languages and may have picked up a little-known Shiatsu massage technique in this enchanting little massage parlor in--oh, but that would be telling.

I can't imagine what else could possibly need to go here, so I think I'll call this a wrap. We all know what we're in for, right? Anyone that cares to is welcome to ask me the specifics of my particular genetic idiosyncrasies face-to-face. A boy's got to have a few secrets, after all. It keeps life from growing unbearably bland.

Be seeing you around, I'm sure.
