JOSSLYN HARMONY ADDYSON (S)HE WOKE UP FROM DREAMING THIS POST IS RATED PG FOR LANGUAGE---
Josslyn shifted the fliers from one arm to the next. The recycled paper had been transformed into a flier, urging people to cut back the wasted energy. It was one of the many projects Josslyn found herself involved in. Josslyn, needless to really say, always managed to get involved in groups that had something to do with saving mother earth, or its poor creatures on it. It vexed her mother to no end to have her beloved daughter out annoying others to give a crap about whatever it was that was on her plate. Mother and daughter rarely saw eye to eye on many things in their lives, although they didn't let that get in the way of mother daughter bounding. Josslyn stopped at a bulletin board filled with many other things on it. While she wasn't sure people even looked at the bulletin, Josslyn stapled a sheet from her stack onto it.
HEY IDIOT!
STOP WASTING ENERGY!
CUT THE LIGHTS OFF
No one ever claimed she was tactful. Josslyn didn't feel the need to explain the importance of why it was important to save energy. She knew people were idiots, but it didn't take a genius to realize that they were wasting what the good earth was offering. One day they would probably have to resort to solar energy, wind energy, or water energy because the energy being used now would be completely wiped out. Or at least that was what was explained to her. Josslyn was never a really big protester on the energies crisis, mostly because she felt like a hypocrite because she herself used the energy. Not something she could actually helped where she lived at.
Josslyn was more into the animal rights and all things animals. She was a vegetarian, and had been since she was like, eight or nine, when she happened to learn just what the meat was made out of and how it was made. Josslyn rested the items in her hand on a table outside a small clothes shop. The table was filled with a few clothes, some flip flops and promises of more deals inside. Josslyn wiped away a few strains of hair that had managed to become loose from her ponytail. She smiled lightly at the girl across the counter, obviously working for the store. "Mind if I stick a flier on the window?" Josslyn questioned the girl, already taping one to the window, not waiting for her response. " Thanks" Josslyn said as she collected her stuff and left the girl to just gasp at air.
Josslyn kept up the work for another ten minutes before she decided to take a break. She took a seat at one of the benches in front of the dozens of stores. She laid the papers down, the stapler and tape on top of them so they wouldn't blow away, and leaned back. The sun was out, and boy was it shinning! Josslyn closed her eyes and sighed. Today would have been a perfect day to take a hike, or go camping! However, she hadn't been able to convince her mother that she could go camping on her own, and the 'save energy' group had managed to convince her to pass out fliers instead of going for a hike. She just couldn't say no to helping the earth after all!

What a day! The sun was shining, the clouds were trying to be brave and failing pretty miserably, and the sky was such a pretty shade of blue... so pretty, in fact, that Hero was going to match her shirt with it. There was a little graphic of a bubblegum-pink whale swimming across the front of the shirt, even. Matched with a pair of shorts that fell to a little less than halfway down her thigh, some bright pink ankle socks, white converse, and a few little beaded bracelets, and Hero officially had herself an outfit together. Her blonde hair was left to its own devices, looking a little messily wavy after a quick brushing. The teenager just wasn't in the mood to straighten it. Hero, on her way out the front door off to who knew where, grabbed her bag, which should have been considered too big for a purse but she loved it too much to not carry it. A quick check to make sure everything important was inside--a couple of lip balms, her wallet with the allowance she still got inside, keys for both car and house in case she got locked out or something, and a pack of gum--and the girl was off.
After sitting in the drivers seat of her little run-of-the-mill vehicle for about two minutes, Hero decided to go shopping. She hadn't for awhile and the impulse to suddenly do so only encouraged her to get out on the town of Rutherford and see what kind of sweet deals she could snag.
Fifteen minutes of not hitting things and maybe saying some not nice things about other drivers who were clearly not driving correctly and annoying her, and she was there. Hero parked in front of a little sandwich shop she had come to like. Was she hungry? Until she'd gotten here she hadn't thought about her stomach too much but now it had noticed that it had the opportunity to refill itself and was letting Hero know it. Eh, a little snack won't kill me, she thought, striding through the door and up to the counter. Hmm, what sounded good? Maybe the ham and turkey and swiss combo today would suffice. After ordering, Hero paid for her lunch then stalked out the door again, holding her purchase in a little brown sack bearing the shop's logo on it. Leaning against her car, Hero took the sandwich out of the bag, unwrapped it about halfway, and took a nice big bite. Ooh, it was delicious! Taking her time chewing, the blonde looked around to see if she knew anyone. And, in fact, she did. A girl by the name of Josslyn was making her way down the street, a rather large stack of papers on one arm, then the other, then back to the first. Hero figured she should have noticed the girl by the slew of catchy--or not--slogans on the fliers that appeared almost everywhere they could be posted.
Grinning now, Hero tossed the now-useless paper bag into a nearby trash can, then started walking toward Joss, still munching on her sandwich. Since she'd walked up behind the brunette girl, Hero waited for a minute before she said "Hey Joss, what's up?" Soon after, another bite of sandwich entered her mouth, where her teeth set to work grinding it up into swallow-worthy little bits. Damn, this sandwich really was good. "You on another 'prolong the world's suffering for future generations' spree?" |

JOSSLYN HARMONY ADDYSONSEEM TO RAIN ON INNOCENCE LEFT BEHINDRATED _ FOR __---
Josslyn sat on that bench for five minutes before she felt the need to get up and actually do something. No not hand out more fliers, they were already posted on practically everything in town. She had been at it for hours! She need something fun. Something like a party. Josslyn was never one to turn down a party. She wasn't a heavy drinker, but she did enjoy cutting loose, more so anyways, on the dancefloor. Swaying to the music, not caring about anything for just a brief moment of time. Normally something was always on Josslyn's mind. There was always something that needed help before the people completely destroy it. It amazed Josslyn how ignorant most of the people around her were. Did they honestly belive that they could keep abusing the earth the way they did without repercussions? Josslyn shook her head. One day they would see the error of all their mistakes. She just hoped that it whatever happens doesn't effect her.
Josslyn picked her belongings from the bench and shuffled them in her hands so that she could walk around more comfortably. She could always shove them in her bag. That would leave her hands free to do whatever. As Josslyn thought about it, she began to walk, not really paying attention to her surroundings, only making sure she didn't run into anyone. She stopped a shop known for its hippieness things. She was about to walk in when she heard her name being called from behind her. Josslyn turned just enough to see where her name had been called from. That was when she saw Hero, munching on a meaty sandwhich. Hero was the kind of friend Josslyn didn't mind in smallish doses. Mostly because they had this way of picking on each other and sometimes it was annoying.
Josslyn had met Hero through another friend, Justus, who coincidently was another friend she tended to have words with. Generally about their beliefs and how different they were. " Hey Hero." Josslyn replied although she didn't say what she was doing, since Hero's next sentenced confirmed that she knew what Josslyn was doing. " Enjoying the brutelly slaughtered animal your eating?" Josslyn fired back with a almost cheerful smile. She didn't approve of eating meat, but she hadn't meant her words to sound preachy. Josslyn just liked bickering with Hero, for the most part.

Ooh hoo, catchy comeback. Hero actually commended her on it--in her mind, of course. Miss Sailes smirked back in reply before taking a big swallow. She then considered the food in her hand once more before taking another rather large bite. Before she started chewing though, she peeled back the wax paper it was wrapped in to expose more of the bread's white spongy texture. "Yes, actually, it's quite delicious. I think I can still hear it gobbling." Her jaw set to work on the bite of sandwich again, and Hero's blue eyes removed themselves from Joss for a moment to see who else was around. She recognized a few of the preppy girls from school just by seeing them walking by every day...oh, crap, and there was the one whose little Hollister flip-flop she'd stepped on accidentally-on-purpose. The bleach blonde still hadn't forgiven Hero for breaking her new thirty dollar little rubber and cork piece of practically nothing and Hero had no plans on paying for it. It was an accident, right? It wasn't like she'd wrecked the stupid girl's car. Her mommy or daddy probably had enough of the green stuff to buy her about twenty pairs to replace it.
Back to Joss. Hero's gaze flitted down to the flyers. "Jeez, what are you gonna do with all of those? Rutherford's already plastered with them enough, ya know." Hero cocked her head to the side slightly, fairly curious. "And besides, why'd you make so many if you're always telling people to save the trees?" Yet another good question, or at least Hero thought so. It was legitimate, anyway. Looking back down to her hands, Hero was half-surpised to see that she only had a few precious bites left. She really must have been hungry after all. She finished them off with relish, waiting for Josslyn to get un-disgusted with the fact that a couple of innocent animals were getting eaten in front of her. To Hero, meat-eating was simply a way of life. Until she'd met Josslyn and Hailey, it hadn't really been too big of a deal. Now, though, she either had to be careful what she ate in front of them or just let them have their words and move on. They weren't going to convert her over anytime soon.
Now that her sandwich had disappeared into a place better left unmentioned, Hero realized that she was actually kind of thirsty. Some lemonade or water or just liquid in general sounded wonderful. Looking at Josslyn, Hero assumed she was in need of some hydration as well. "Hey, wanna go get something to drink? I'm pretty sure lemonade is only made from some defenseless plants, yeah? Those are okay in your books, right?" Hero sure hoped so because whether Joss liked it or not the blonde was going to get herself some kind of beverage. Heck, if Joss wanted something Hero would pay for it for her. |

JOSSLYN HARMONY ADDYSON(S)HE WOKE UP FROM DREAMING RATED PG FOR CONTENT---
Josslyn pulled a face as she watched Hero take another bite of the sandwhich. Hero's words would have sent a shiver of disgust, if she wasn't use to such things. She never understood why people would eat meat. Especially when it was so brutally killed. Perhaps they should be shown just how the animals they were eating was handled before death, and how it was killed to satisfy their needs. Perhaps that would set them all in their places! Josslyn started formulating a plot in her mind. She knew the people in control of the morning news show at the school, she could persaude them to show a movie...Josslyn shook her mind as she watched as set of preps walking by, all of them practically shoving their noses in the air as they passed by Josslyn and Hero. A rush of crude words poped up into Josslyn's mind, but she said none of them.
" I justed posted those over the town. The rest will probably be stored for later." Josslyn said looking down at her stack of papers. " They were all recycled from old fliers that had been passed out before hand." Josslyn said, turning one of the pieces of paper over to reveal words about a bbq that had happened two years ago. There were always effective ways to old things to help perserve the future. The groups Josslyn was generally apart of knew this and was set on ways to do so. Josslyn herself didn't do all the gruelsome work they put into makeing the thngs they did, she just passed out things to get people's attentions. She had better people skills then some of the people she knew. Which was why she generally was on 'get their attention' notices. It wasn't something Josslyn generally cared to do, but anything was helpful, and she knew this.
Josslyn reframed from mentioning that most lemonade was artifical and had all sorts of things in it, but she didn't for a simple reason. Josslyn liked lemonade, even if over half the lemonade was not made the way she would have. Homemade. Besides, she knew Hero didn't want to hear about the sort of things that were added to drinks. Josslyn knew she couldn't change Hero's oppions on things just by informing her what was in things. None of her non-hippie friends would either. Josslyn had accepted that about them because, generally, she enjoyed their company. " Yeah lemonade sounds pretty good too me." And perhaps, depending on where they go, she could grab herself a salad.
Her stomache growled a little bit at the thought of a nice tasty salad, with tomatoes, onions, pepers, olives, crackers and vingeratte dressing. She might even have some cheese, although she doubted it. While she wasn't a vegan, she did rarely have cheese. It wasn't the dairy that got to her, she just had to have a mood for cheese, and she wasn't sure she was in the mood.
