[Destiny]

Good grief!!! Looks like I missed another fun evening. I'm so fed up with behaving myself.

Why do you? Grins

 

[Asa]

Slips in curls up in my old hiding place with a sigh. Curious who all is around.

*laughs* Strange, why are you? Don't you want to join in the bedlam and laughter?

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Slips in curls up in my old hiding place with a sigh. Curious who all is around.

Afternoon Asa. Welcome back.

 

[katalynn]

Kat and Cait I see you have things well in hand. I might feel sorry for Mo.........But then again I feel he may deserve it. After all what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I smile as Kat settles on my lap, I do so enjoy her company.

Umm Nice to have you back Kat. Doing any writing?

I haven't written anything in quite some time. I'm afraid I will be a bit rusty in the writing department. Not sure what to write either, my emotions have been at an all time high and extremely unbalanced. Writing dark like I used to might be a bit much these days. A challenge for sure considering majority of my stories go dark. So yea, I'm on the fence about writing again.

 

[cgraven]

I listen to Kat as she explains her lack of writing. I remember her sweet dark writing with pleasure. I hug her closer to me.

Kat you were such a sensual and seductive writer I so enjoyed.

Strange you can always behave, but you do not have to behave well with so many delightful other choices to behave.

Is that correct Cait?

Asa how goes your day?

 

[Asa]

Hello DW greetings CG today is much better now that I am.off work

 

[cgraven]

Asa it is always good when the day's work is done and there is time for more pleasant and naughty activities.

 

[Asa]

Absolutely CG.

 

[cgraven]

So Asa what naughty activities are you perusing?

 

[Asa]

Nothing really just getting caught up in crafting a few things and getting ready for work tomorrow

 

[DarkSmith]

The Smith came in late in the evening, knocking on the kitchen door, before entering.

Phoo Ming looked up, and exclaimed, "Nǐ duì zìjǐ zuòle shénme, nǐ zhège báichī niú?" seeing the left sleeve of Smith's shirt gone, and an angry red welt running from shoulder to mid-forearm, atop a rapidly blackening bruise.

"Well, obviously, I had it someplace I should not have. The Miller is no longer a hearty and hale man. I cannot rely on his help doing the maintenance and repairs the mill needs."
"
Tā mā de shǎguā!" Phoo Ming said reproachfully.

"Yes. And that is why I am late returning. I had to go to town and hire the big lad from the feed store. To help lift, and hold things, while work on them."
Phoo Ming shook his head, disgusted.
Smith walked into the barroom and filched a clean glass. Waving to those present, he wearily said, "Evening all! Hope you are enjoying the end of the day. I am dog tired. I bid you all a Good Night!"
He went upstairs, and secured clean clothes, while filling the tub with the hottest possible water.
Pouring himself a half full glass of whiskey from last night's bottle. Stripping down, he settled in, feeling every knot and ache.

"I will sleep well tonight, that is for certain."

[cgraven]

Asa you seem to be very busy and getting ready to head back to work.

 

[Asa]

Work is not till tomorrow morning but still seems like I am so easily swayed and distracted lately. Forgive old friend.

 

[cgraven]

Your are forgiven Asa. I am often distracted by the daily events.

 

[katalynn]

*Gives CG a light kiss..*

Apologies for disappearing.. been picking at chores and prepping for the bombs tomorrow. Won't be around much tomorrow, not sure what kind of internet I will have. Gotta do a few extra things tonight, but it's an early start tomorrow for sure.

 

[cgraven]

Kat it is alright as I have been picking at chores all day myself.
My lips brush Kat's and turn into a sensual kiss.

So I will have to mis you Kat again? Well at least it will be for a day.

 

[Asa]

Trying to focus on here I begin pondering what thread ideas I want to write.

 

[cgraven]

So what did you come up with Asa?

 

[DarkSmith]

Climbing out of the bath, Smith staggered to his room. Pain ran rampant, everywhere. He pulled out his liniment.

"I will have to pay CG for new sheets. Oh, well. Needs must, when the devil drives, as Auntie used to say."

When he touched his arm, he knew he was in trouble. The pain was almost debilitating where the beam had slid down his arm.

"Shit. No good choices, Son."

He reached inside the satchel he had drawn the liniment from, and came out with a leather case. Opened, there was a stash of vials. He uncorked one that had very small pills. Shaking one out, he trembled. He detested using this drug. Ever. But it was positively necessary if he was to do what the Miller wanted, nay needed, to survive. Swallowing the pill, he said a silent prayer.

He laid his head on his pillow, and knew nothing 'till morning.

[rlaflamme]

Heads to the bar and grabs a coffee. Looking around the room he smiles, "No big mess this morning. I hope you are all okay."

 

[katalynn]

Hey RL, How's this morning treating you? Yea, I think they cleaned up their own messes this time.. Cept, there's a bucket of water floating around somewhere.. think it's above Mo's room now. *Giggles*

 

[rlaflamme]

It is a decent morning, I can't complain, nobody would hear anyway lol. Can I get you anything?

 

[katalynn]

I would listen. *Smiles.* ... A fruit smoothie would be awesome thank you.

 

[rlaflamme]

I would listen. *Smiles.* ... A fruit smoothie would be awesome thank you.

Chuckles, prepares her smoothie and brings it to her, "Thank you, I will have to remember that. I am really good about staying quiet and staying behind my bar here."
