Ladies' Sewing Circle and Social Gathering - 13 Griffin Way, Wednesday Evening

[memberslonely]

There were no harpies. There was no cereal falling from the sky. There was no sign of peas and clover being in any kind of cabinet anywhere

"Good evening, sir," Mina greeted Minsc. "I trust you are well?"

"Lady Wilhelmina!" Minsc greeted her back with a smile. "Good evening! I am! It is nice to see you, too, at the Stitch'n'Bitch. Not to say that I mind bringing Boo, or anything, of course."

Because, yes, he was only there because Boo wanted to be. Really.

[[ sorry about the double ping *will take this ooone* ]]

Mina's face instantly contorted in mild disgust. "The what, sir?"

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

"The Stitch'n'Bitch!" Minsc repeated merrily. "Because, you know, that is what we do! We...stitch. And sometimes we bitch! And sometimes we eat food and fight harpies and such, but that did not quite as well be fitting with the rhyme scheme."

"I... hardly think such a name is appropriate," Mina said, still aghast.

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

"But why not?" asked Minsc, looking rather befuddled. "It says what it is! Exactly! And, no offense to the fine lady intended, but it's much snappier than Lady Elizabeth's windblown title."

"And," he added importantly, "more fitting. There are both gentlemen and hamsters present, not only ladies!"

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

"Then perhaps we should amend the ladies part of the title," Mina said. "But I happen to think Miss Bennet's choice of title is far more appropriate and proper."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

"Oh, sure," said Minsc, "amend it and make it even longer than it already is."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[funnyways]

"Society Sewing Circle and Social Gathering is hardly longer. Barely a letter's difference," Mina said.

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

Minsc did, at least, take a moment to consider it.

And then he shook his head.

"Nope," he decided. "Still like Stitch'n'Bitch much better."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[funnyways]

"And to think, they entrust you with impressionable minds," Mina said, slightly annoyed.

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

Minsc arched an eyebrow. "My lady," he said. "Out of all the things to take offense to, I think the mere casual retitling of a group is a bit silly."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[funnyways]

"It is when the retitling is improper, sir," Mina said. "I find the second half of your new title rather displeasing. There are no female canines involved in this venture, and I hazard there rarely shall be."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

"There also," muttered Minsc, "seems to be a lack in humour in the room as well."

Which was a lot better than the other thing he was thinking to say, which might have involved a stick located somewhere most inappropriate if Lady Wilhelmina was finding the use of the word bitch offensive.

"Besides," he added, a bit primly himself, "it is being used as a verb, not a noun and not intended to describe any participants, simply what they are doing."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[funnyways]

"It is an unseemly word, then," Mina said. "And confusing."

Re: Mingling and Refreshments

[berserkerminsc]

"Or perhaps you are thinking too much on something that is meant in fun, my dear lady."
