New Page #5!
"They always complain there aren't enough marshmallows in their Swiss Mix."
*VOTE for a sneak peek at the next page!*
I’ll be at Otakon this Friday! July 27 – 29, Booth Q07!
I will have the full array of Dreamer merch with me: buttons, stickers, charms, magnets, graphic novels, comics, tee shirts, sketch cards, and prints!
Also, my sister and I will be giving out Cosplay Bingo cards at our table! Last time I was at Otakon, we hand drew a Bingo card and filled it with different cosplays we’d hoped to see, just to pass the time. Well, everyone in Artist Alley had such a blast playing with us (folks were dragging characters we were looking for down to our table just to help us achieve BINGO) that we thought we’d invite everyone to play this year.
So swing by our table in Artists Alley and pick up a free bingo card! Get BINGO and we’re raffling off The Dreamer and TeenaBee freebees at the end of both Friday and Saturday!
Oh geez, so much for discretion.
VI: MEEP!
I wanna go to Otakon, but the next convention I go to will be AnimeFest in September. :P
VI: Poor Nathan!
Me:
I meant it you sleazy fellows! BACK OFF FROM MY NATHAN!
If you do not follow in my warning, I shall unleash the horde of my sidekicks, David, Faith, Half-Moon, and Caera.
So… I am giving you a fair warning. You have precisely one minute to leave the tavern or we will personally escort you out!
Then we shall think about how to smuggle Nathan out of the mess. Perhaps we could enlist Dr. John’s help. He is, if I am not correct the good Dr. Who? The one with the TARDIS?
Oh my God, did you really just mention Doctor Who? You’re, like, my favorite person right now :P
I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!!!!
As do I! The Doctor could defiantly fix this whole mess.
Which doctor? *glares suspiciously*. ten or eleven??
Ten for Tennant!
ME TOO!! I love David tennant :). glad to meet another doctor fan! Everyone I’ve talked to thinks I’m a total geek for liking doctor who, lol.
Tennant!!!! My whole college loves doctor who
Ah, to be surround by whovians :).
OMG!!!!! That last line made me crack up for some reason! And I have a bad feeling one of those guys is a Tory… O.O
BTW, am in KY until the 30th…with very ify internet. But dumb question, are there any Dreamers near Bourberville (Especially near Union College)????? I’ll be there for college registration this weekend!!!
*I* have the feeling that one of them is none other than the notorious Robert Rogers. :/
He was a Tory too. In fact, he worked for the British and got a nice sum of gleaming King’s wages for it too…
meep o.o Bea needs to get her butt back there ASAP!
Which Union College?
“You’re dreaming”…..Heh. He just said the secwet woid. WHAT HAPPENS NOW, SAM?
And I’m still convinced these guys are fakers, even if it does seem to be starting to look the other way.
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!!
(you knew i’d do this…)
Tall guy: “Well, I suppose you’ll remember this as the day Captain Nathan Hale almost escaped. Take him away….”
(….or maybe this….)
Tall guy: “I choose you, Nateachu!”
(…..or, in honor of the best movie of the month…)
Tall guy: “When America lies in ashes, its hopes broken and its people bleeding…..only then do you have my permission to die.”
I vote for the PotC- inspired caption.
Don’t lay a hand on my Nathan, hoodlums. I swear on the life of Malcolm Reynolds, if he walks out of that tavern with so much as a scratch…
Mal’s not dead! Wash is dead, and Book (although that’s not his real name would you like to know more), so one of them….
While your point is valid, Mal’s life is a more valuable swear since it’s not poofed yet…just sayin’. :P
Whatevs. I’m more a Kaylee/River/Hero of Canton kinda guy anyway…..though I do loves me some Rick Castle…..merrrrow….
Somehow I just don’t think he’s walking out of there at all. Dragged out, yes.
On a side note, I feel that since you’re using the pseudonym River Song you should be swearing on the life of the Doctor. Or Rory at least.
(I repeat myself) I LOE DOCTO WHO!!! All of these doctor references all of the sudden are making me happy :)
RUN NATHAN, RUN!
As for right now, I still live in the middle of nowhere, but hopefully next year I’ll get to start going to things like Otakon!
Why do I have to work this weekend? :( ‘ so close to Otakon, too!
No, Nathan, don’t be so loose-tongued! :o
So he’s not going to be recognized by his cousin. I’ve read that as another option for Why Nathan Hake was caught. Granted, it was in two very strange old books, but it was a theory for a while. Lora, do you know if that theory is still recognized as possible?
Wait… Hale, not Hake! :-/
Every page right now makes me hold my breath…I’m with everyone here who thinks that one or both of those guys can’t be trusted. :(
I keep coming back BECAUSE she puts enough marshmellows in my Swiss Miss. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be a regular. And I wouldn’t give you a good review on yelp.
Also, remind me to tag myself in foursquare at this location. I want to be its mayor….
The mayor of… “Fighting Cocks Tavern”? Are you sure?
(history is so NOT PC.)
I regret nothing. I lived as few men dared to dream.
Also, it could be a gay bar. Those are trendy, and popular. And hopefully profitable.
They should really listen to Nathan. Keep running away and the British are bound to make a mistake and loose a battle *cough* Saratoga *cough* and catch the attention of the French. Silly Howe leaving Johnny Burgoyne hanging. Besides those guys are also overlooking the fact that there are eager and enlightened young men all over the western world interested in the revolution… and one who has absurd amounts of money and is willing to buy his own ship to get over here and decline pay. It’s too bad really that the Marquis de Lafayette didn’t arrive until 1777, it would be cool to see how Dreamer Nathan and Dreamer Lafayette would get along.
OMG! You just mentioned Lafayette! *Emits a loud squee and jumps and down*
I <3 Lafayette!!!!!! :D
I bet Nathan and Lafayette would have much to discuss….
Of course I mentioned Lafayette! I just graduated from Lafayette College in Easton, PA! <3 Lafayette!
Lafayette was very fond of the memory/legend of Nathan Hale. That is documented!
Plus Lafayette was very close in age to Nathan. I’m always amazed when I realize how young they were during the war.
“We were soldiers once… and young.”
Yeah… They were around my age.. Nineteen.
Actually, you know what? I am kind of jealous at them. At my age they were kicking butt and I am doing absolutely nothing glamerous. Oh well…. Maybe someday….
:)
In fact, it amazes me how young all the soldiers were in the American Revolution. Not a country for old men!
“….and then I woke up.”
On Liberty’s Kids, Lafayette was 19 when he arrive in America in 1777.
Hmm. So, is he really about to get nabbed or are you fooling us and that happens later?
To (sort of) follow on with my pattern for a Vote Caption, how about this:
Nathan: Parley!
First man: What?
Nathan: I invoke the right of parley. According to the soldier’s code, you have to take me to your captain!
Second man: What code?
Nathan: The..the code, everybody knows about the…I mean, it’s clearly set down in the writings of…
First man: Think you can get past us with a bunch of book-learning, eh?
Second man: And who says we have a Captain, anyhow?
Nathan: …Oh. I see. Well, um…goodness, is that a distraction?
(continuing….)
Demonic Duck: “What? Why you looking at me? He’s the damn whig!”
*with credit to Dan Shive at http://www.elgoonishshive.com for creation and use of the distractingly used demonic duck*
Hah, of course. The poor demonic duck keeps getting dragged into these things, when all he wants is a vacation. ;-)
Actually, my favourite DistractOPhrase is “Look, a three-headed monkey!”, but that didn’t seem very much like something Nathan would say.
