Owl to Claire Tourneur

May 29, 2008 23:30

An owl seeks out Claire Tourneur, bearing a torn-down copy of this and an attached note: Care to dance, mademoiselle?

Sir,

I'm not sure I should accept. I'm expecting an invitation from a man who told me that he was going to try playing hard-to-get. There must be some mistake.

The note is signed with a red lipstick kiss.

You misunderstand me, mademoiselle. This is strictly passing on information. No invitations here. Really. Why would you think that?

Re: Return owl monde_finis May 30 2008, 03:45:02 UTC

The poster, yes, that is information. But the note? Not so much.

Unless it is a question only. Yes, I do care to dance. I enjoy it quite a bit.

Re: Return owl sidney_reilly May 30 2008, 03:58:58 UTC

Well, a question mostly. In that case, tomorrow. You'd be there. I'd be there. Other people would be there. Who knows what might develop? Possibly dancing, even.

Re: Return owl monde_finis May 30 2008, 04:02:57 UTC

Or not. How do you know for sure that I'll be there?

Re: Return owl sidney_reilly May 30 2008, 04:07:31 UTC

Observation, coupled with experience. I doubt you're one to miss out on a party.

Re: Return owl monde_finis May 30 2008, 04:14:44 UTC

Oh, but I don't attend just any party. Are the ones better here?

Re: Return owl sidney_reilly May 30 2008, 04:17:45 UTC

Depends on one's standards really. On one hand I've yet to see a guest commit suicide over the party's hostess here. On the other, back home one could rely upon the refreshments not to turn one into a cat or dog or child. So you might say it evens out.

Re: Return owl monde_finis May 30 2008, 04:24:45 UTC

I am making no comment on whatever my standards might be. I think I'm beginning to understand the food here, though. I will eat plenty of caviar before I come.

Re: Return owl sidney_reilly May 30 2008, 04:27:27 UTC

Well, I could bring champagne. Hypothetically, of course. Just a precaution, you understand.

Re: Return owl monde_finis May 30 2008, 04:32:05 UTC

And I suppose that somebody would have to help you drink it. It's not seemly for a person to knock off all of the bubbly by themselves.

Re: Return owl sidney_reilly May 30 2008, 04:34:22 UTC

Well, yes, naturally. I'll be taking applications for the job at the ceilidh. Or perhaps I should just sell it, say at 10 sickles a pop?
