Night Owls Part Three

So here is part three! very rough this time!  I'm going ahead and posting it, but I may go back and change some small bits and pieces later.  If I do, I'll let you guys know! ~Part Three~       "Son of bitch ," Wufei spat, tearing off his apron and throwing it across the dingy little closet that the club called the ‘employee lounge’. "What’s going on?" Kirsty had just come on shift, another victim of Trey’s decision that the waiters needed to be more ‘fluid’ in their scheduling. He didn’t... read more

Deb and I planned to meet up at 3:00 this afternoon to look for the Great Gray Owls in Dunrobin, so I went out on my own in the morning.

"In many tribes, owls were seen as most closely allied with medicine men, rather than warriors or hunters. Lakota medicine men or peju'ta wica'sa respect the owl because it moves at night when people sleep, and the medicine men get their power from dreams at night, clear dreams like the owl's sight, so many Lakota medicine men wear owl feathers and promise never to harm the owl, or else it is believed their powers will leave them. Creek medicine men often carried an owl skin or feather as a symbol...

(All owls were written courtesy of a Dictaquill, except for Sweden's.) A- Dis shoulds has de seeds you want. Skwisgaar (Attached is a small package containing a jar of lingonberry jam .) (Written in Swedish, naturally.) Sverige- I remember at your Sorting, your application said you could cook. Would you be interested in helping with a knytkalas I and A are planning as Hufflepuff's prefects? It would be nice to have Swedish food, you know? And I don't cook. Let me know. We don't have...
