The Mansion

[DarkWarrioress]

I grin. Widely.

"Oh, I want you to make me something alright."

 

[dryfter]

*cocks an eyebrow quizzically* Well then, what'll ya have?

Good afternoon everyone

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Good afternoon everyone

Carrying a cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other, she smiled as she found a guest in her home.

"Good Morning. Welcome to the Mansion. May I help you with something or is this simply a curious visit?"

 

[AngieGZC]

*smiles warmly* Good morning! I hope you don't mind the unexpected visit. I'm Angie, and this is Apollo. We were out for a morning walk and, well, Apollo seemed quite taken with your beautiful garden. *giggles softly* I couldn't resist the urge to knock and say hello. I hope that's alright? *looks at Apollo affectionately* He's a bit of a charmer, isn't he? *winks playfully*

I smile. She's infectious. Setting aside my book, I reach out a hand to Apollo.

"Good Morning, Apollo. You're a handsome one."

Glancing to Angie, the smile is still intact.

"Welcome to my home, Angie and I don't mind at all. Would you care for something to drink? And please, have a seat. My other half prefers the shadows so it's only us for now. I'm DW, by the way."

 

[AngieGZC]

*smiles back, her infectious energy making me feel at ease* Thank you so much, DW. It's a pleasure to meet you. *takes a seat, smoothing out my sundress, which is a soft, flowing fabric in a muted floral print, the hem just above my knees, with a faint hint of mud on my knees from our morning walk* And thank you for the offer, but I'm good with just my coffee for now. *gestures to my cowboy boots, which are a classic brown leather with a slight heel, adding a touch of rustic charm to my outfit* I hope these aren't too muddy from our walk. Apollo can be a bit of a troublemaker sometimes. *winks playfully at Apollo, who wags his tail happily* So, DW, what is this beautiful mansion? *leans in, genuinely curious*

 

[DarkWarrioress]

"This, my dear, is my home away from home. This is where I sometimes play, definitely write and dabble in the kitchen when I have time. I have a few friends (and my hubby) who stay here from time to time.

Don't worry about any mess. It's fine. I have maids to handle the everyday stuff around here."

When Ice isn't around to kidnap them, I mutter to myself, That man wrecks more of my staff than anyone else.

"And troublemakers are always encouraged around here."

*tosses Apollo a wink*

 

[AngieGZC]

(smirks, eyes sparklin' with amusement) Trouble's my middle name, darlin', and I'm glad to hear it's welcome here. Though, I gotta say, I'm more used to fixin' fences than causin' a ruckus. Still, it's nice to know I can let my hair down...or put it up, dependin' on the kind of trouble we're talkin' about. *glances at Apollo, a warmth in her voice* also good to hear you don't mind pets *winks at Apollo* You seem like someone who knows how to get into all sorts of interesting situations. *leans in, her voice takin' on a conspiratorial tone* I've got a feelin' we could swap stories 'til the cows come home...or at least 'til the sun comes up. *pauses, a slip of the tongue* Kinda like those long nights when...*ahem*...my "companion" keeps me up 'til dawn. *coughs, tryin' to cover* Oh, excuse me, I mean...when the stars are just too darn pretty to sleep. *laughs, a bit too loud, and glances at Apollo with a hint of a blush*

 

[DarkWarrioress]

UGH! I hate those days. The day when I have to take a certain medication and my next day goes to hell in a handbasket. I get sick. It's a side affect I don't enjoy at all, but it comes with the territory. So, I endure. Today, is not much better but I can and will cope. I have writing to do and will, even through my weekend, which I normally do not do unless I have nothing else going on.

So, for any of my co-writers who may read this, I'm sorry. I haven't deserted you, I swear. Every week, once a week, I have to take a medication and it makes me ill the following day, sometimes two. Last week, all week, I wasn't well either, but I don't think it was a side affect. I think I caught something. Bleh. I just get better and med time rolls around again. I'll be writing periodically over the weekend to catch up, here and elsewhere.

Dryfter is taking care of me. Hang in there. I'll catch up ASAP.

 

[AngieGZC]

Hey there, darling! You're like a tough little farmhand, weathering the storm! I know those meds can be a real pain in the—well, you know. But you're still out here, plowing through, and that's what makes you a champ.

Don't you worry about your co-writers, they're like a barn full of sturdy steeds, ready to lend a hoof anytime. Just focus on getting better and let us know if you need a hand with anything. We'll be here, whistling a tune and waiting for you to join the ride again.

And hey, Dryfter's got your back, so you're in good paws. Take care of yourself, and remember, every cloud's got a silver lining. Maybe it's time to write about a heroine who's tough as nails and twice as beautiful, huh?

Catch you on the flip side, partner!

P.S. I'm always on the lookout for new partners to ride the range with. If you ever fancy a co-writing adventure, you know where to find me.

U

Oof sounds less than fun for sure. Take care of yourself my friend.”

The elf drops off the note before taking the time to spend some time in her flowers, watering some, prooning others. The staff remember him even if he’s not been here in a very long time and allow him the moment to appreciate nature before he slips away.

Not hidin', love. Just not making a fuss. Sometimes you can learn a thing or two by just staying quiet and watching what's going on around you. As long as I'm back here, you want me to make you something too?

Of course, love. I'll have what you're having.

 

[dryfter]

*Saunters back over to the bar* Ooook then.

*Starts making drinks one right after the other* Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Lemon Drop Martini, another whiskey on the rocks fer me, and a tequila sunrise for you cause I know that's what you really want. Come on all, drink up. I know ya want to.

*Hands you your drink replete with a fresh splash of grenadine and gives you a soft kiss right on the tip of your nose*

"Now what's this 'bout wantin' me to make you a mush pile? I'm not adverse to doin' that in public if you really want me to."

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Wrinkling her nose at the kiss but shooting him a soft smile, she took a sip of her drink, barely stopping herself from splitting it out at his words. Her cheeks turned a soft pink as she felt the heat rise.

"Now what's this 'bout wantin' me to make you a mush pile? I'm not adverse to doin' that in public if you really want me to."

"Uhhh... um... did I mention a mush pile? You must not have heard me right...."

She buried her nose in her drink.

 

[AngieGZC]

Oooo drinks

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Oooo drinks

*grins* Help yourself, Angie.



In other news, I have been terribly absent from here and in my writings. Unfortunately, RL has imposed itself and hopefully it will all smooth out by the end of next month. I will turn up as I can. I will write as time allows. Hugs to all. DW~

Hopefully things smooth out for you soon. No worries in shelving ours until that time comes. It’s worth the wait.

Thank you so much for being understanding. You are such a treasure as a co-writer.

It was hard to come by, that little piece of sanity, these days. I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm hoping that it isn't a train speeding straight for me as I stand on the tracks. I will take what peace and sanity I can find in these current moments. Time is flying. There are birthdays, holidays and a house closing. I am thrilled with the idea of finally owning a place I can make into a home. Our home. I look forward to Spring so I can sink my willing fingers into soil and plant everything and anywhere I want. before all those can happen other things have to happen and I KNOW they will test not only patience but also what sanity I cling to. I will get through it all. I know I will. In the meantime, cups of coffee, lots of them and the occasional hug makes all things bearable.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

All my threads are on hold for the moment. I hope to get back to them in a couple of weeks, provided, of course, that our move goes well and we can get our internet up and running quickly. Hopefully, my co-writers will still be interested in continuing.

Thank you, all of you, for your patience and understanding.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

For anyone reading this, we finally closed on the house and have keys. Now we wait for the movers to show up tomorrow morning. Then we have a week to empty out this place and get set up at our new home. I'm tired, hurting and short on patience BUT I haven't killed anyone yet. I'll be back online sometime next week. Have a lovely Thanksgiving and see you soon.
