The Shopping Spree Begins

Jan 26, 2008 23:50

Moonette heard the door to her beach house creak open and then click closed. Was it six o’clock already? She glanced at the clock, then quickly took her arm and swept the several miniature silver credit cards off of her desk top and into the top drawer before....

The Chines Fireball (continued from Girlyswot) tdu000 January 27 2008, 20:21:44 UTC

TDU was enjoying loking at all the beautiful fabrics. Every now and again she would lurch over to roll and stroke it lovingly. However, none of the fabrics were really singing to her, possibly her natural Yorkshire "caution" with money made her feel a little queasey whenever she looked at the price tag. A select few actually didn't even have price tags and queasey wasn't an adequate enough term to describe how she felt about them ( ... )

"How do you know what type of dragon the print is, you're not even looking?" said TDU, suppressing a strong temptation to stamp her foot. "In fact, how do you even know it's a dragon ( ... )

So now I'm supposed to sort this mess out, am I?!?!?

Re: The Chines Fireball (continued from Girlyswot) part II tdu000 January 27 2008, 21:06:58 UTC

Absolutely! You're the writer.

LOL! THis is great! *grabs popcorn*

Ooh! Now I'm craving popcorn (at 11:00 pm, that is not good).

LOL

Faulkner, Hemingway, the list *is* long of writers who could write whilst drinking alcohol. I'm sorry, but we can't add your name to the list.

A trail of fire gradually blazed from the poor blinded, sneezing dragon, along the spilt cognac until it reached the cognac-saturated silks. The slow motion stopped suddenly as a whole shelf exploded.

Yes, nothing says "birthday fic" like this passage.

*rolls eyes*

Wait a minute - Hemingway like violent, blood-soaked bull fights. Faulkner wrote about disfunctional families and madness. Hmmm. You could be the next Great Thing . . .

Thank goodness Ros was here to sort you out.

No alcohol was consumed in the writing or this, as it was done first thing in the morning before breakfast! Please remember, I don't write and hopefully this explains why!

If this is how you face your mornings, then I can understand your need for fluff. *nods* But maybe a mimosa with breakfast would - er - mellow you out for a less violent writing session. Hmm.

*snort* For someone who "doesn't write" you certainly created quite a scene.

Re: The Chines Fireball (continued from Girlyswot) part II rosathome January 28 2008, 20:12:31 UTC

(For TDU's benefit: mimosa = Buck's Fizz.)

TDU is the most prolific 'non-writer' I know.

Re: The Chines Fireball (continued from Girlyswot) part II amamama January 29 2008, 07:05:37 UTC

For my benefit too! I wonder how a fluffy yellow flower with breakfast would help. That's not even considering the edibility of said plant...

Re: The Chines Fireball (continued from Girlyswot) part II tdu000 January 28 2008, 20:14:13 UTC

Well the "scene" is a one-off! Normal service will be returning immediately. I did had the advantage of knowing Ros would sort it all out happily.

'Who cares about your suit?' Girlyswot replied fiercely as she dragged TDU away. 'What about Charlie?' She watched through the flames as the dragons rampaged their way across the shop floor. Witches were screaming and throwing their tiny bottles of Evian at the fire as if that might help. Didn't anyone know how to do a decent Aguamenti Charm?

'Albus!' called TDU. 'Over here!' She pointed to a handy fire hydrant. 'Can you conjure a pipe or something?'

By this stage, Charlie had cornered one of the Fireballs in the backroom and was turning his attention to the other. Girlyswot hoped that some of the dragon handlers from the circus were on their way. And that there'd be some fabric left for Berte. Oh no! The shop assistant. She had to tell Charlie ( ... )

Re: Clearing up the mess rosathome January 27 2008, 21:44:42 UTC

A burst of flame flew past Charlie's head, singing the door frame he was leaning against ( ... )

Re: Clearing up the mess rosathome January 27 2008, 21:54:39 UTC

Girlyswot had been so absorbed in her fascinating French conversation (as I'm sure the reader was too) that she hadn't noticed the noise levels drop. The crashing and shouting seemed to have stopped. Then a familiar voice rang out, 'Girlyswot? You there ( ... )

Re: Clearing up the mess amamama January 27 2008, 22:12:33 UTC

*bone crushing hug* Oh, I'm having the best! This is such a hoot. I've had to go back and forth (where are the servants when you need'em?), and I just love this. Poor girl though, I hope she'll get ample refund from the circus. we'll have to put Richard on the case. I mean - honestly! I agree with Charlie. Keeping dragons in cages? *harrumpfs*

And now I'm needed downstairs again - more asap.
