"Stranded in this spooky town

[wraithwitch]

Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun..."*Tries to gather brain together

marriage? excellent. One morning trip to fortnumns methinks.

[wraithwitch]

*imagines a world where laudanum and silver cigarette cases (ready filled, naturally) could be bought at Fortnums* that world.... I want to live there.

darling you know I'd marry you in a trice - I just always assumed you'd consider it a dull bourgeois institution - a sort of failed opiate for the masses - and so never asked...

Marriage would also free you from your current burdens, like some kind of fairy tale princess....only to replace them with others I suppose? :)

PS Do I want to even ask what a notquitesexualfavour could possible be? :)

[wraithwitch]

Heh - yes, the sort of person who could afford silver cigarette cases and laudanum and wished to lavish such upon me probably would have both wit and means enough to solve many of my present burdens... heehee, but who knows what problems they'd create, indeed =P

well, I knew *someone* was gonna ask. I suppose it starts at the 'distinctlyunsexual' end of things - posting a letter, buying a pint of milk, etc. And moves upwards in some haphazard manner to include such things as a hug or a kiss or a non-slutty massage.

or that person will be treated as an adored in the fashion of courtly love?

[wraithwitch]

ooh - I like that idea too - I could try to compose songs and poetry in their honour and send them trinkets =)

Hmmm... Do those offers have a time limit? Notquitesexualfavours and marriage proposals sound most intriguing.

[wraithwitch]

They don't have a time limit but like many offers they are subject to change.

I do now have a silver cigarette case, so that is no longer a valid offer. However a poison bottle full of laudanum would totally get a marriage proposal - and a poison bottle full of absinthe (of the true wormwood variety) would certainly get some sort of grand favour.

Corvids are, whilst being unpurchasable, at the same time very bribable. (I'm not quite sure how that works, but it does.) And, having a corvidic love of shiny things, are very fond of items like silver lucifer cases or hipflasks, antique knives and swords, or bits of costume and all the sort of things they can't ever possibly justify getting for themselves. (Y'know, 'sorry, I'm 50 quid short on rent this month - but lookit the pointless and totally glorious shiny i have!' is never gonna be a good conversation.)
