HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE KITTIES!telepwenApril 16 2006, 05:14:05 UTC
Recipient: finsmagik Prompt: A drabble containing the phrase: "Cheer up Emo squid." It can be about anything just use that phrase Word count: 161 words, just to make sure that the cat knows that there's at least a hundred Rating: G, with a warning for bad tea
"But I was the mission officer. I should have known better!" Dawlish was having a hard time calming down no matter how much tea Moody poured for him. Not that the tea helped. Everyone knew that Moody’s tea closely resembled gnat's piss, though no one quite dared mention the fact.
"Can't always be helped, Squid. You learn that. You had a success overall, and that's what you have to count." The young Auror winced at his mentor's odd nickname for him, and winced further as Moody picked up the kettle again, pouring two more cups to overflowing.
"But..."
"But nothing, boy. I'll be recommending you to be the elite of the squad next mission."
"Elite?!" Now he could only squeak. "I can't be the elite mission officer

. . . wow. I had no idea how anyone could possibly make this prompt work, but clearly I had not reckoned with your snarkity power. Wonderful job--I hope Moody never, ever attempts to comfort me. =)

Well, it was either that, or a Fairly Large Squid being depressed at his lack of Giant status.
And when picking between one that has Moody's inability to make something so simple as tea, and one that lacks Moody's inability to make something so simple as tea, well. The choice becomes simple then, doesn't it.
As for the last bit, Moody says, "What does she mean by that?"

Just letting you know that I wrote for your prompt as well, finmagik. ;)
Incredibly clever take on it, telepwen - I love EMO being an acronym! And I'm pleased that our responses are so different. :D (I don't think I read yours before I wrote mine, though I knew you'd done it.)

*beams and beams some more* Thank youuuuu.
But what do I get to rule? I mean, do I get a kingdom? Or just a closet or something? If I just get Moody's teapot, for example, I'm not sure I want to rule.
