part 294 wayward fairy tales

[aphanon_meme]

I think I'm in love with the new Once Upon a Time show! I finally caught up on the episodes and although it's a bit cheesy, it sort of fills the hole that The 10th Kingdom left in me! What shows are you watching this fall... winter...time..., meme

[not sleeping under a tree this time, oh no!]

[sitting on a branch a few feet up, playing a panpipe she's dug up somewhere]

[still wearing a grannymano dress, it's rather larger on her than on him]

/drivebyishly, lunchtime

[amemus_romam]

[hums along]

[badly]

[that grannymano dress isn't bad, you know?]

/REACHES FORRR

[palaiomator]

[hears a hum and looks down]

[smiles and plays slower so he can catch the tune better]

[she thinks it's lovely, but then again she has zero fashion sense outside her own wardrobe]

/reaches backkk

[amemus_romam]

[it's too bad that he hums like a drunk]

[although maybe he is]

[and he spent unholy amounts of time having to sew all those dresses]

[he does not like sewing, nope. pins are good enough]

/reaches so far, falls out of the tree

[palaiomator]

[beginning to wonder if he's had a kylix too many...]

[playing so slow it's practically a funeral dirge]

[she should have known right away by the messy stitches, then]

[she got used to sewing in Byzantine times and has always been a good weaver, he just needs to learn some feminine activities for once]

/is landed on

[amemus_romam]

[well, halloween was like a party.....only the party kept going, see?]

[well, he's finally grasping the tune]

[and hey, at least the dress is holding up. that's something.]

thank you for breaking my fall

[palaiomator]

[some party, jeez]

[brings the tune to a conclusion and leans against the trunk, smiling down at with eyebrows raised]

Exactly how much wine is in your system right now, you big silly?

speaking of breaking...

[amemus_romam]

[oh. the music stopped]

[stupid blink]

[looks around, forgets to move his feet, twists too far, and trips]

[the good news is that he's now flat on his back, looking upwards]

[the bad news is that his vision is kind of blurry right now]

ahahaha

[palaiomator]

[laughs at his slow thinking but gasps when he falls]

[leans over the edge of her branch]

Rome? Are you alright?! Rome!

[amemus_romam]

[he appears to have hit his head]

[not even hercules would lose to him in slow-wittedness right now]

[pause]

[long

pause]

...llas....Hellas.....

[palaiomator]

[!!!]

[gingerly clambers down the tree, if he's looking up her dress he's a dead man]

[scrambles to sit with Rome's head in her lap]

Where does it hurt, what can I do? Oh Rome, you should have brought a friend along if you were going to get this drunk...

[amemus_romam]

[it is okay. even if he could see up there, nothing's really processing too well right now]

[groans]

Head....

[silent for a minute]

Not...drunk.

[hahahaha yeah]

[palaiomator]

You're a liar.

[kisses his forehead]

[feels the back of his head gently, ooh yeah that's a bump growing there alright]

You need ice or something...

[amemus_romam]

[groans when you poke the bump]

[this hurts. but luckily he knows the solution]

More...wine.....

[palaiomator]

That isn't going to help anything and you know it.

...But I'll give you some if you come and get some ice for that bump with me, okay?

Come on, you can get up, I know you're a big strong empire...

[heaves him to a sitting position]

[amemus_romam]

[shakes his head as vehemently as he can

which is not much]

[helped up?]

[promptly turns to the side and releases an amphora's worth of wine and stomach acid and...other things...]

[the smell is superb[ly nasty]]
