Jake shrugged. "Bout fifteen minutes," he mumbled, and sighed. "Don't really know what's up with this whole thing, though. Just kinda got dumped here by one of my 'friends'... Didn't even bother telling me why those things burnt down the school," he said, his voice getting further distant with every word. But he snapped his attention back here, and looked at her. "What about you?"

MelpomeneGraceRobertson "Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy.""Ever since I walked in the door." I laughed. "A clown was kidnapped, or clown-napped, from the circus and was killed. Me and the other acrobats went looking for them, all died but me."

"The circus, huh?" he asked, lying back on his bed sideways and looking at her upside down. "How was it?" he chuckled. "I'm sorry to hear that all the other acrobats died... But life goes on, I guess." Jake was mumbling to himself mostly now, rolling his eyes around in his head for no reason.

MelpomeneGraceRobertson "Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy.""Amen to that." I said smileing. "And my father owns the circus. He's the ring master, the big cheese, and stuff of that nature." I said, "I was an acrobat, the lovely assistant, and the swords master. But my dad cant continue to show until the missing positions are filled." I said pulling out The Ultimate Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy out of my bag and began to read. But since when is that new? "If you haven't noticed yet, I'm an odd person." I said still reading.

"Huh..." Jake looked at the ground, nodding. "My dad... Well, my foster dad, anyway. He was a salesman for a roofing supplies company." He chuckled, shaking his head. "My foster mom was a stay-at-home mom, and watched me and..." his voice trailed off, and he didn't finish.

He shook his head. "My foster brother," he managed, trying to shake the thought off. "We didn't exactly... get along. Any of us," he added, frowning. Jake picked up the piece of string he had been wiggling earlier, and continued wiggling it in front of his face. He seemed less enthusiastic.
(Gtg for a few, I'll try to get back on later.)

MelpomeneGraceRobertson "Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy.""Ah, that sucks." I said with a grin. "Every one did, and had to, get along with me. I mean, who would be stupid enough to mess with your bosses daughter?"((I have to go in, like, ten minutes for bed and wont get back on till six o'clock tomorrow. Just one of the many luxuries of being a 13 year-old girl on a Tuesday. *rolls eyes* ))

Jake nodded. "Yeah... We didn't really have anyone to tell us to get along..." He frowned again, and scratched his left arm, the one wrapped in bandages.
(I remember those days... lol It won't get much better for a while, but maybe when you're 16 like me your parents will let up on the 'bedtime' routine.)

"Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy."I smiled and looked up from my book, Jake was scratching his arm that was wrapped in... bandages? "What happened to you arm?" I asked. "Encounter with a monster?"((Thank God for that.))

Jake frowned, looking at it. "Yeah... You could say that," he muttered, shrugging. "Probably not what you would normally consider a 'monster...'" his voice trailed off again, and he shook his head, trying to cheer himself up.

"Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy."I looked back at my book and began reading once more. "What would you call it then?" I asked "A Titaness?" I added "God? Goddess? Titan? Mortal?" I said and thought I properly was prying in to his personal life and could tell that he seemed uncomfortable. " Sorry if I'm being annoying," I said, "If you do not want to talk about it, that is just fine."

"Mortal..." he said, shaking his head. "No, it's fine. I just don't really talk a lot about this." He shrugged. "No offense, but I don't really know why I started now."

"Named after the muse of tragedy, but lives a life of comedy.""Well, that is good." I said looking at him smiling, "That is how friends are made. And you can not see that on How It's Made." I added and returnd to my book. "Do you think the mortal as a motive for trying to kill you?" I asked

"Other than being a Satanic masochist with no reason to want his brother around?" Jake asked sarcastically, shrugging. "Probably because I disprove his religion just by existing." He paused for a moment, and smiled at her. "So, we're already friends?" he chuckled. "Okay."
