[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3052750, member: 4936"] Allison...no, Thessaly. [i]Thessaly.[/i] She still had to pound that into her head sometimes. Especially when working the pleasant, yet mundane tasks at the bookstore. Times like these, 'shadow names' seemed remote and kind of silly. Even a little juvenile; like kids playing games of make believe. Which wasn't so far from the truth maybe...except that the 'make believe' was real, and the solid reality of the world was what was false. She tried to make eye contact with the newcomer and smiled warmly. That was easy. Thess had a face made for smiling. Round, pixie-like cheeks spattered with freckles gave her a sort of girlish cuteness that smiling only magnified. She was physically unimposing; short, slim of build...easily passing for a girl younger than her twenty years. Her hair was longish, growing out since summer started cooling, and a bright, memorable shade of orange-red that set off against the green of her eyes very nicely...though a trifle spoiled by her glasses. She was wearing a royal blue shirt under a set of acidwashed denim overalls (giving her what her mom used to jokingly call a 'farmer Bessie' look). "Hi. Is there anything you're looking for in particular, or just curious?" Thess was terrible at sales talk. She made up for it by not even trying; instead just talking to people as they came in as new aquaintences. This wasn't hard, as she was by nature the sort of person that liked helping people find what they were looking for. [/QUOTE]
