Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.
This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:
In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking
In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf
We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:
1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.
If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.

Date: 2013-01-22 03:38 am (UTC)Richard Castle, what ever gave you the idea that I'm incapable of finding a patch of heather with no witnesses?

~Kate

Date: 2013-01-22 04:05 am (UTC)Make love.

Hump like bunnies
Pick your metaphor.
-Rick
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:09 am (UTC)*finds a good spot and draws him to the ground, murmuring*
Come lie with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dale and field,
And all the craggy mountains yield.
*kisses him*
~Kate

Date: 2013-01-22 04:13 am (UTC)Marlowe. Color me impressed.
I am yours to do with as you please, my love.
-Rick
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:23 am (UTC)I like my body when it is with your body.
*tugs on the tails of his shirt to pull it off as well*
It is so quite a new thing.
*leans down to kiss him gently*
Muscles better and nerves more.
~Kate
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:27 am (UTC)Are we just going to keep quoting poetry at each other or are we going to get serious?
*grins*
*undoes her bra*
-Rick
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:27 am (UTC)I was trying to be romantic and erotic. Thanks for ruining it.
~Kate
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:30 am (UTC)And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love
Me and my Katie.
-Rick
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:31 am (UTC)Oh, no. You're going to have to try a lot harder than that.
*reaches for her shirt*
~Kate
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:42 am (UTC)I'll have you know the ladies of the eighth grade ate that stuff up.
*pulls her back down*
How about this?
Love is a journey through waters and stars,
through suffocating air, sharp tempests of grain:
Love is a war of lightning,
and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.
Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity,
your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages,
and a genital fire, transformed by delight
-Rick
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 04:57 am (UTC)slips through the narrow channels of blood
to precipitate a nocturnal carnation,
to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.
*slides her bra off her arms and drops it on top of her shirt*
Was that so difficult?
*rises up to shed her pants*
~Kate
no subject
Date: 2013-01-22 05:01 am (UTC)*grins*
And a poet said, "Speak to us of Beauty."
Where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her unless she herself be your way and your guide?
Be my guide, Kate.
