Office Hours, June 9th

[veryverypopular]

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Glinda had found and bought a Margarator for herself. Someone, however, had lugged it up to her office.

So now she was making strawberry margaritas. And drunkenly humming "Margaritaville" while doing so

Minsc was bored and wandering for open offices again. He realized that he regularly held his office hours on Mondays, and today was Tuesday, but somehow the office seemed...safer. No one ever showed up at his office door naked or with a blowtorch.

Not that he'd mind more of the first one, but that wasn't the point of this narrative ramble.

And he wandered by Lady Glinda's. "I smell....something."

Astute ranger senses, GO!

"Ish strawberries," she replied, cheerfully, "an' tequila. 'Scalled a strawberry margarita. Want one? They're very good!"

[berserkerminsc]

"Well, far be it for me to refuse a lady when she offers a drink," Minsc said, especially since Lady Glinda was not a lady he had come to be known for poison, which was always something to consider.

"It's very pink," he felt the need to add.

"Everything about me's pink," she replied with a giggle. "Gimme a moment." She poured the ingredients into the Margarator and turned it on, which caused the crunching RRRRRRRR to start again.

[berserkerminsc]

The sound that the little machine was emitting made Minsc's eyebrows raise. "That almost sounds like a goblin bone grinder!" he stated.

"No bones," Glinda assured him. "Only ice. I dun think that a margarita with bones in it would taste very good."

She finished the last of her glass, and looked at the machine. "I wonder if I made enough for two..."

[berserkerminsc]

"Not to us, maybe," Minsc reasoned, "but to a goblin, it might be quite scrumptious. And if there is not enough for two, Lady Glinda, you have that one, and I can make my own. It did not look too difficult..."

[veryverypopular]

"All the more for the goblinsh, then," she replied. "An' I might have had enough already..."

[berserkerminsc]

It was only then that Minsc thought to look Lady Glinda over for signs of tipsiness. They were pretty easy for him to spot if they were there; Dynaheir had been such a lightweight.

Lush, actually, was probably more the word.

"And how many have you had, Lady Glinda?"

[veryverypopular]

"Well," she replied, "how many servings are in a gallon?"

[berserkerminsc]

Minsc couldn't help chuckling. "A lot."

[veryverypopular]

"Then I've had that many," she declared. "And yours is done!"

She bounced up, grabbed a clean glass, and opened the spigot, filling his glass. "Enjoy," she said, after putting a tiny umbrella in it. "I made sure you got a blue one."

[berserkerminsc]

"Aww, thank you, Lady Glinda!" Minsc smiled as he took the glass. "Blue is one of my favourite colours! And Boo will very much like this umbrella. It looks like rain might be coming soon!"

"You're very welcome, Mr. Minsc," she replied. "I don't know how well that umbrella will work in the rain... it's only paper."

[berserkerminsc]

"But it will look very cunning on him, don't you think?" Minsc asked, setting his drink aside for a moment so that he could pull his hamster out. Then he plucked the umbrella from the drink and handed it to the hamster, who held it, mostly because he didn't know what else to do with it. In a few moments, though, he'd probably start eating it.

"See? Very charming, Boo!"

Glinda laughed and laughed at the little hamster perched with his umbrella. "Oh, Boo, you look like you're getting ready for a day at the beach," she tittered. "All you need is a little swimsuit, and maybe a teeny cooler with drinks and snacks. Oooooh and a little radio too!!"
