Here's my little contribution in the name of Anarchy. Thanks for the terrific prompt!

Ah, that was completely paisley and like, dude, falconesque on Tuesdays. [translation: an utterly cool concept, conceived and executed in masterly fashion.] I dig this mainly, I do. Much huggishness, and meet you at the corner in five.

Awesome! So very glad you dug it. I like Long Island Ice Teas, though a Sloe Gin Fizz is occasionally nice, too. Are you buying? ;-)

[asymphototropic]

Most assuredly the drinks are on me. After all, you provided the so-excellent entertainment.

I don't drink very often, but when I do, I prefer the hard stuff straight-up, no mixers and no ice. My first choice is vodka, but it has to be the real thing from Eastern Europe, where they know how to make the stuff. [I am part Russian.] Other than vodka, I like scotch or whiskey, the rarer and older, the better. [I am part Scots-Irish]. I also like tequila. [I am all Texan...smile when you say that pardner!]

To be perfectly honest, it's been over a decade since I last drank anything. And I think the last time was that glass of wine the midwives said I should have when I was in labor, but which only made me barf. ;-)

I did love a Long Island Ice Tea in university. I would make one last all night, and everyone (who were assuming I was getting refills) would be amazed at how well I handled my booze.

My husband is a big connoisseur of scotch, though! And he likes his glass of red wine before bed.

This was really good. I can see Bodie only trusting Ray when his system is completely hay-wire with drug but I couldn't see them having relations when Bodie was so messed up. Even if Bodie had wanted to, as he seemed to, I just don't think Ray would have felt comfortable doing so when Bodie was not himself. I also loved how Bodie let stuff slip out that he never would have said if he'd been in his right mind.

Lol! I had a few moments while writing this story when I wanted to shout, "Come on! Just get together already!" Bodie was perfectly happy with the idea, but Doyle was frankly appalled and refused to cooperate in the slightest.

I did have fun writing drugged-up Bodie. :-) I'm very glad you enjoyed him, too. Thank you!

I loved your drugged-out Bodie. You did a great job with the descriptions from Bodie's POV, especially Ray's words and the colors they took on. Cool idea. Thanks!

[myrebelcat]

You're welcome! I've always been fascinated by the concept of synesthesia, and it was really neat to have a chance to write about it.

Plus, tormenting Bodie never gets old. ;-)

I'm glad you liked my story!

Good morning - excellent way to wake up with my tea! Drugged-up Bodie was fabulous, so was dealing-with Doyle, and the synesthesia was good fun too. Thank you! *g*

[myrebelcat]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it - I've always wanted a chance to write about synesthesia. It's such a fun concept.

Thoroughly enjoyed every flavour, every colour, I mean every word ... I'm sure you're right, Ray would never - not when Bodie's out of his tree like that - but it's certainly got him thinking ... poor Bodie, lucky Bodie, unable to keep a lid on it as tightly as he would if he were straight (in the other sense of the word!) - because thanks to that, it won't be too long before they sort this out when Bodie's come down again, will it? Lovely!

[myrebelcat]

Colours, words, eh, what's the difference? Bodie's just lucky he didn't start tasting colours. Blech... I read about someone with that particular synesthesia, and they weren't very happy about it.

I don't know how long it will take them to sort things out, but I think you're right - they're on the right track. And yeah - poor Bodie. I do enjoy abusing him. ;-)

I'm glad you enjoyed my story!
