Space for Whatchamacallits

[TechnoGeek]

-returns with Pretty, dressed now but with wild hair and a dreamy gaze- Sorry, all... Just... Had to say goodnight to Pretty

 

[Essie1]

Smiles happily

Oh good. I've never been a coffee drinker myself. Love the smell of freshly ground coffee, love coffee ice cream, but the drink shudders.

Ted waves shyly, very sleepy after safeguarding a fair amount of the cake in his tum

Don't care if anyone thinks I'm silly for having Ted in here. In a space for whatchamacallits, I think he fits it splendidly. Plus he's good for emergency hugs if anyone needs them.

Sips tea reflectively

It's a nice place this. I'm glad Pretty let me know about it. It's very... nice. I can't think of another word, sorry, I'm trying to finish off some work at nearly 2am on a Sunday morning. Tiny cross growl I know, Ted, I know I said I wasn't going to do it anymore.

I love you.

Looks like you've goodnighted the stuffing out of her. Well done, sir

 

[Niceandbrutal]

Huh. I love the smell of ground coffee and brewing coffee, but the taste is just too bitter. Even in ice cream.

Maybe there's room for an impertinent rubber duck as well? Bubblequack his name is, an old old childhood friend.

Brandishes worn and tattered faded yellow rubber duck with its head firmly perched under its wing. It's asleep.

He can sleep through almost anything.

 

[Essie1]

Taking glasses off, polishing them thoroughly

Oh dear, I read that wrong. I thought you said it was an incontinent rubber duck... I'm tired, this is my excuse.

Giving Bubblequack a gentle stroke

What a fine name. I think Ted would be more than happy to share his chair with Bubblequack. Though negotiations may have to be entered re sharing of baked goods...

 

[Britwitch]

flops down with a happy but tired smile

I think...we're ready. Well, as ready as my little family ever is when we're about to hit the road.

giggles

How's everyone here...?

 

[Essie1]

Well, Starry is cake-drunk so you may not get anything much out of her.

Pretty and Techno are.... saying goodnight.... a lot....

Me and Nice are enjoying a peaceful mug of tea. Different mugs, I mean, not the same one.

Ted and his new friend Bubblequack are bonding.

 

[Britwitch]

All sounds just as it should.

nods with a smile

I might sneak a cup of tea myself before trying to squeeze in some writing before our bedtime arrives! Stupidly early start in the morning.

 

[StarryEyed665]

*Crawls out from beneath the chair, wiping frosting from her mouth*

Okay, I've had my fix, you can stop averting your eyes. I know, that wasn't a pretty sight. -sigh-

Ooooh, where you headed, Brit? I'm trying to settle down to do some writing this evening. May have to get out some wine first. =/

 

[Britwitch]

We're heading to the UK, a fortnight catching up with family and so on.

Bit of a road trip first to get to the airport and then another up from London to Yorkshire and our first stop.

Sadly we'll miss the start of the Tour De France, it will go by my parents' house! All very exciting!

 

[Essie1]

I'm all writed out. Just getting back into it. I know, should probably be trying to write something each day but... shrugs it'll happen when it happens, I suppose.

Hope you have a wonderful time away, Brit. Will you be away from here while you're on hols?

 

[Britwitch]

I'll peek in most days.

winks with a wicked smile

And will seek refuge here for most of our time with the dreaded in laws!

 

[StarryEyed665]

Ooooh have fun! Yeah think it goes past my sister's house in Sheffield, was thinking of heading there this weekend . . . but I was there like two days ago so I just want to stay inside =P

 

[Essie1]

Wraps gently snoring Ted in little blanket

Ted and I are falling asleep so we're going to take off.

Brit, have a wonderful holiday, safe journey and try not to dent any cyclists

Starry, please wipe any frosting smears or crumby fingerprints off Ted's chair...

 

[Britwitch]

Good night, lovely! Sweetest of dreams to you and Ted!

Watches with a smile as Ted and Bubblequack snuggle up to each other in their sleep.

Good night Essie! We have some further points to discuss before we start writing. Looking forward to it.

 

[prettyserpentine]

You guys are going to be writing together?

smiles

Good luck. I'll have to look out for it.

 

[Angeleyz]

*peeks in*

I had some dessert I was going to share with you and your visitors, ps, but unfortunately my guests wiped me out of it. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks it just might be better than sex...

 

[prettyserpentine]

I haven't had chocolate in ages, I'd give anything right now for a nice big slice of Fudge Cake or something.

Stupid diet.

But dessert with guests is always far more fun than sex with guests.

grins

 

[Angeleyz]

Doh! I didn't realize you were on a diet or I would never have planned on visiting with ooey, gooey Better than Sex (chocolate based). I was lucky enough to lick out, I mean lick up the trifle bowl.

 

[prettyserpentine]

Oh god...

tries to keep head from exploding

Sounds divine!! And to think, when I go to work tonight the nearest thing I have to chocolate is watching other people eat it via CCTV!!

 

[Niceandbrutal]

grins

Depends on the guests, now doesn't it?

 

[StarryEyed665]

oH GOD THIS MATCH.

Tennis cake pop, anyone?

 

[Essie1]

Wish I could stay awake to watch it but must go sleep.

Um, could I please have a couple of tennis cake pops, please, Starry?

One for me and one for Ted
