Ooooh, right.

Nailah and Roland stood outside...what appeared to be a hardware store.

"Oooooh, right. I should have realized..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:03 pm

Nailah rubs the bridge of her nose.

"When did you eat here the last time?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:05 pm

"...a while ago. During the Exhibition."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:06 pm

"The Great Exhibition? The World's Fair?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:15 pm

"That's the one.

I was told it was still around last time I was here, though!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:18 pm

"150 years and you're telling me you're surprised it closed down? Be glad they didn't replace it with a McDonalds."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:20 pm

"Oh, it's not like this is America. 'Oh, it's thirty years old, better tear it down'."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:24 pm

"Prepare to be baffled by the amount of Starbucks they put into old buildings. Come on, there's a place that still exists down the road." she takes a bit of pity on Roland.

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:26 pm

"Fair enough," Roland said, briskly catching up.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:32 pm

"So World's Fair, huh? Where you, by any chance, still around when they brought Cleopatra's Needle over?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:36 pm

"I was. Load of bollucks, that. Cleopatra had as much to do with it as you or I."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:44 pm

"Let them have their recognizable names, I suppose. You wouldn't happen to know why they placed it where they did?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:44 pm

"You mean in London, or...?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:46 pm

"I mean the embankment. That exact spot."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 8:46 pm

"If I remember correctly, it was to distract from the new sewage system they were installing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:16 am

"How sobering."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:32 am

"Believe me, there was very little of THAT at the Exhibition."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:49 am

"No doubt."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:00 pm

"Why do you ask?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:03 pm

"Because I don't believe they placed it on a ley-line by accident."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:04 pm

"Ley lines," he chuckled. "You ever get a map out and start mapping them?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:10 pm

"Here it comes."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:20 pm

"Pardon?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:23 pm

"You were going to say something about ley lines?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:50 pm

"I was, yes. Why?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:53 pm

"Please, go ahead then."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:08 pm

"I'm just saying, the maps have changed."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:10 pm

"Not significantly in the last 150 years. Trust me, we saw what happens when they drift too fast."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:27 pm

"Oh, of course, they've stayed stationary for such a long time."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:31 pm

"Are you always this insufferable?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:04 pm

"Only when I'm not suffering,"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:09 am

"I'll just take that as a yes then."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:33 pm

Roland just laughed. "If you will, you will."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:39 pm

"Goddess... I'm feeling less hungry by the minute."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:41 pm

"Take it in stride and keep rolling along, m'dear."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:44 pm

"This is me taking things in stride."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:46 pm

"If a decreased appetite is a symptom of you taking things in stride, you're liable to starve yourself," he noted.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:49 pm

"Yet here I am, still alive and well fed."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:50 pm

"An accomplishment in any age."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:55 pm

"For some people, sure..." she shrugs.
