The Tavern

Lucinda walks in, embarrassed by how long it took her to find her way. She sits down and orders a soda.
Ah, well, I'm new around here, she thinks. Maybe next I should find a map. And a watch.

Aqua had been stumbling around the streets of YWS, finding her way around, reading and making some friends. Her eyes widened as she tripped into the tavern, full of fellow YWSers, drinking and laughing, having a break from their writing duties.
"Wow! I've never seen this place before!"
She waved at Gspp and found an empty chair.

Gsppcrocks10 looked up what Aqua came in. She waved at her. Gsppcrocks10 waved back. "Hey AM!" She shouted. She got up and sat with Aqua. "How have you been?"

Aqua took a sip of her mochalina chocolate latte with a hint of cinnamon and a double lime twist.
"Great, thanks Gasper. Just working on some art stuff, reading some psycology. This and that. How about you?"

Gsppcrocks10 grinned. "I'm great. I've been writing, and guess what! My Dad updated my computer to Windows XP Home instead of 2000 Pro. I've got to set everything up they way I want it, but it's much faster than it was before. Plus it wiped the memory when it was updated, so now I won't run out of room." She looked very happy.

Lucinda leans forward. "Eh-heh, not that I was evesdropping or anything, but that's awesome! I use Windows Vista--I'm not trendy enough to own a Mac--and I'm loving that for my writing. And there's good news all around--I just finished draft two of my manuscript."
She pauses. "So if my laptop crashes now, that would...make me say words that I can't say in polite society."

Aqua grinned at Lucinda "High five for windows vista! And I'm the same, even if I don't have internet connection for an hour I go crazy!" She held up her palm for a high five.

Lucinda high-fived Aqua. "I know, right? When we got our kitchen redone, they had to keep disconnecting the power in the kitchen, which happened to be on the same circuit as our WiFi box, so...a whole day with no internet. It was pretty boring." Lucinda shook her head sadly and took another sip of soda.

Gsppcrocks10 got up. "I'm getting a new drink. Be right back."
She walked up to the bar. "Just a milk this time please." She came back with her drink.

Aqua grinned and slurped the last of her mochalina chocolate latte with a hint of cinnamon and a double lime twist. "Wow, that was good! Think I'll just have a soda this time though."
She joined Gspp at the bar and ordered her drink.

Rose entered the tavern and shyly asked for a glass of chocolate milk. She found a vacant seat near the door and started to read, leisurely sipping her chocolate milk from time to time.
She tried to immerse herself into the story, but thoughts kept running through her mind. I wish I can make more friends, she thought wistfully.

Aqua leaned across her table to the girl who has just come in. "Hi! I'm Aqua, what are you reading?"

Wookie turned around and saw there was a new person in here she was reading a book. She took her glass of hot chocolate and walked over to her. "Hi I'm Wookielover17 but you can call me Wookie. So... you new to the Tavern?"

BlueSocks had just come in when she spotted Wookie speaking with someone. As she got closer, she noticed she had never seen this person before. Being the girl she was, Socks went to say hi. "It is very nice to meet you. I'm Socks. The stranger switched hes gaze from Wookie to Socks and ...

"Omg Socks what are you like doing hear?!?!?! Oops I interrupted how rude of me" Wookie giggled embarrassed "Please continue."
