I remembered my favourite bookstore is my favourite. Man. Man. There was a beautiful hardback copy of Infernal Devices, and all of the Old Kingdom Trilogy, and pretty much every Terry Pratchett book ever, and Elements of Style (which I really ought to buy someday), and-
LARKLIGHT.
LARKLIGHT WAS THERE.
I HELD IT IN MY HAND AND SMELLED THE PAGES. IT IS SO WELL PRESENTED I WANTED TO SHOPLIFT IT. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, MAN.
MAN.
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO BROKE
Also: a situation.
[You are in a crowded shopping centre at the close of day. Five separate and discordant pop songs are blasting you from three separate and discordant clothing stores, and people of every age and description (but mostly teenaged and apathetic) surround you. There are exits to the north, east and south.]
_go east
[You are in a clothing store. The clothes are primarily primary colours. There is a ten dollar note on the ground to your right. There is a shop assistant hanging shirts to your far right. Exits to the east and west.]
_pick up note
[There is no note.]
_pick up money
[Ten dollar note is added to your inventory.]
_talk to assistant
[She stares at you, a little bemused.]
_pause iPod player
[You tap the lower edge of the clickwheel and the song pauses.]
_talk to assistant
"Can I help you?"
_give money to assistant
[You hold out the money. She takes it, still looking rather bemused.]
"What's this for?"
_point
[You point vaguely at the location where you found the money, muttering an explanation.]
"Oh! Thank you. We'll try and see if we can return it."
[Light side points gained!]
I think this proves that I would not make a very good Sith, and also that I am a colossal geek.
You see a bandwagon. Jump on?
[Yes]
Comment to this post with an idea for a Top Five list (for example, Five Time Hester Failed To Punch Anyone, or Five Times Garrett's Cynicism Backfired On Him , or Five Things Big Boss Wishes He Hadn't Eaten). Then,in a separate post in reply to your comment, I will compile the requested list, according to me. Multiple requests are welcomed.

2. When she was a child in the care of Shrike. He never mentioned, acknowledged or even seemed to notice what she looked like.
3. The time a 'plastic surgeon' offered to fix it for her; except she noticed the tools he was brandishing at her were a rusty saw and an egg beater. It turned out he was just drunk (which she probably should have guessed from the way he was slurring).
4. Any time she looked at Pennyroyal and watched him flinch. It got to the point where she would occasionally ambush him on the way to the loo under the pretext of doing "starboard flare array repairs", just to see him jump and try to stifle a yelp.
5. Any time Tom looked at her and smiled.
Tom's List.
1. Seen his parent's markers in the Tilt Room, where all the people who died had their names written down. He never even managed to find where they were.
2. Found something interesting or unusual in the Gut after a chase. He still does hope to, but it's much harder on an airship. Airships don't eat things.
3. Introduced Hester to Melliphant. Just to see what would happen. And also, probably have to stop her. Er – never mind that.
4. Evacuated it. Warned them. Helped – or something, something so that nobody would have died.
5. Said goodbye to Katherine.
More to come! These are fun.

4. Hee! She so would. This so happened. I badly want to see this in fic.
5. Oh, so many hearts!
AUGH, Tom's list! Although I badly want to see #3. Tom is so nice, I have no idea how he's managed to survive so long.
