There's rain pelting down on the car, drumming fiercely against the windscreen and pounding in tinny, metallic fury on the car bonnet.

The car what, sorry?

"Don't do that in the car."

He shrugs, even though Bennet can't see it. "There's nobody here! Not another sodding person for miles, an' I doubt the cattle give a toss."

*blinks*. Wait. What was he doing?

"Fine," he sighs again, and fades back into visibility.

Oh. Hrumph. That's not as interesting.

a cold, wet grey that reminds Claude of home and reluctant visits to ancient grandparents by train.

And out of order, but I do love that hint of a little Claude memory...

[indyhat]

The car what, sorry?

:P The bit that covers the engine. What do you guys call it?

*blinks*. Wait. What was he doing?

Oh. Hrumph. That's not as interesting.

*stares* Well aren't you the filthy pervert today? ;)

And out of order, but I do love that hint of a little Claude memory...

Thank you - it seems I can't resist that kind of stuff!

Ta for reading :)

:P The bit that covers the engine. What do you guys call it?

The metal thing that covers the engine, I think...I don't know cars. The hood, actually, I think is the term.

*stares* Well aren't you the filthy pervert today? ;)

Excuse me, today?

Thank you - it seems I can't resist that kind of stuff!

Neither can I...it's quite sweet.

Ha! I knew there was an Americanism that I knew. *changes it so people won't giggle and point*

Excuse me, today?

Hee. Fair point ;)

Neither can I...it's quite sweet.

Well, I'm glad you like :)

*not intended for American audiences* ;)

Just- don't. Please."

"Fine," he sighs again, and fades back into visibility.

Oh... I thought he was... Nevermind...

[indyhat]

*not intended for American audiences* ;)

Hee, I couldn't think what the word was in American! varcinie set me straight though, and I've fixed it to stop people from giggling ;)

Oh... I thought he was... Nevermind...

*checks diary* No, unless I'm missing something, I'm pretty sure today isn't the LJ Perverts Anonymous meeting - can you guys come back again tomorrow? I'll bake cookies ...

[c_quinn]

can you guys come back again tomorrow?

We can come anytime you want. ;)

I'll bake cookies ...

Cream filled ones?

[indyhat]

We can come anytime you want. ;)

... that's my little Filth Parade member :)

Cream filled ones?

Are you being depraved again?

[entangled_now]

I love Bennet being sensible and Claude being bored. Also look at all the prompting you managed to put in!

leaving Claude to stare out of the window at signs for places with names like Hooker and Beaver and Ulysses.

For some reason this was hilarious!

I totally thought Claude was being filthy too! I did, I thought he was doing something obscene next to Bennet...or possibly to Bennet *eyebrow but yes, i could absolutely see Bennet telling him off for being unnecessarily invisible.

[indyhat]

look at all the prompting you managed to put in!

Honestly, I just let the prompts dictate what happened! I'm so very lazy ;P Seriously though, thanks for the prompts! I had fun.

places with names like Hooker and Beaver and Ulysses.

For some reason this was hilarious!

Oh good, I'm glad it's not just me! I was just noodling around on google maps and this bit caught my eye ... there's the sublime and the ridiculous and different stuff again!

I totally thought Claude was being filthy too! I did, I thought he was doing something obscene next to Bennet

*giggle* You're all filthy! It's a G-rated fic! XD

but yes, i could absolutely see Bennet telling him off for being unnecessarily invisible.

*is relieved*

Okay, it's Guymon, Hooker, Liberal all in a row...I think I've found the perfect area to hold the Democratic National Convention in 2010.

[indyhat]

*HOWLS*

I was amused that there's a place there called Canadian. I found that rather cute :)

[veetvoojagig]

Very lovely. *Grins*

Annnnd I suck at constructive feedback.

[indyhat]

Oh, goodness, don't worry about it. I'll be satisfied with adulation, no worries ;o)

[veetvoojagig]

Oh, good. *adulates*

[fool_of_ships]

Okay, so...I'm apparently the only person who didn't immediately catapult her mind farther into the gutter with the "Don't do that in the car." At first I was looking up to see what I'd missed--smoking? farting? something that'd make Bennet cough?--and eventually when I gave up and read on, I just thought, "Oh. Okay."

Also I don't mind "bonnet" in my car terminology; I have friends who say it because they think it sounds cooler. (Plus I spent a good two years in Harry Potter fandom, so "jumper" and "trainers" and such don't faze me either.)

Disruption of mental math FTW! And the obscurity idea sounds like it'd work better than Elisabet in Safe. Fun stuff! :)

[indyhat]

Eheeee, I'm glad it wasn't just me! I mean, obviously I thought it could have been dirty, but ... nah. Too easy ;)

Heh, good to know there's some English English out there ;) (Although I spent probably far too long yesterday considering that "bonnet" and "hood" are, from a sartorial point of view, largely synonymous anyway ...)

And the obscurity idea sounds like it'd work better than Elisabet in Safe.

Hee! Yes. I guess what this is is basically like a "somebody else's problem" field, as suggested elsethread. Poor Elisabet, if only she'd had that :-/

Thanks for reading! :)

[fool_of_ships]

I was really amazed that my mind didn't go all dirty. Usually it does, given the chance.

"bonnet" and "hood" are, from a sartorial point of view, largely synonymous anyway ...

The thought crossed my mind while making dinner tonight. I wonder what that says about rear-engine models.

[indyhat]

I wonder what that says about rear-engine models.

Given the general tone of the comments here, I'm afraid that I find myself completely unable to read the phrase "rear-engine models" without giggling.

Torpedo me, please. It's the kindest thing.
