A portal opens and a platter of fresh cinnamon roll are left on the bar's countertop. A fresh cup of coffee was started as well before the portal closes back up and all is as was before.

A portal opens and a platter of fresh cinnamon roll are left on the bar's countertop. A fresh cup of coffee was started as well before the portal closes back up and all is as was before.

Hesitantly looks at the magic cinnominimonimmon roll things... muttering, "I bet she laced them with some kind of anti-ether magic dust or something...." Eyes the empty ether... determined to find a way in....

 

[Tio_Narratore]

It's the ether, Man! You can't get in looking for a way in. Look for the way and and turn around quickly while sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon into the air and then step forward on your left foot.

Another week has slipped away. Extreme heat has given way to nightly rains and cooler and more enjoyable temps. Yet through all this a mug of hot coffee calls to me.

G'day to any who may be about and to those that hide in the shadows. Come on in a stay for a moment.

 

[Destiny]

Plucked a cinnamon roll off the platter pooped into the microwave for 20 seconds plucks it back out and hisses as the hot cream singes her fingers quickly changing hands she sucks on the injured digit and heads to her bean bag chair. taking a large bite of said delicacy she mumbles past the mouthful,"fanks"

:: sees you burn your finger and quickly scrambles for my latest invention.:: I say, "It is a device that uses water... to put out fires... it's call... wait for it... a Fire Extinguisher!! It shoots water out this nozzle onto anything that is on fire... like your finger Destiny. Look... it really works too!" :: Aims it at Destiny's finger and sprays a bit of the water.... preparing to put out any spontaneous combustion events that may occur! :: I am going to make a fortune on this concept!!! Watch out Jack... I may get enough money from this invention to pay to remove all that concrete from my old lab and shove it into that Ether DW is so proud of....

*growls* Don't even THINK about it, I'll take it and shove it up your... *ahem*

*stalks off deeper into the ether, grumbling about mad scientists or wannabes*

 

[Tio_Narratore]

That is some intriguing invention ERed! You should get it patented right away, before some sees it here and copies it before you're protected. But I would be careful of where you deposit that concrete detritus; Cait keeps a pretty neat ether, and she does have a very sharp sword.

*pokes her head out and gestures toward Tio with her thumb*

He gets me.

Oh I see... that is what you are going to run with.... my invention called a fire Extinguisher is brilliant... despite all those nay sayers.... LOL

 

[ERedBoyd]

:: sneaks into the bar and glances about looking as innocent as I can... before sliding a new ether ghost trap in place under there the ether pops open. With any luck, when DW slips out of the ether, it will suck away all the ether leaving her no place to run off too. Covers it up with some old peanut shells already on the floor. Slips to the bar, pours up a OJ and vodka, then sits at the bar looking innocent while watching to see what happens. ::

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Her portal swirled into existence on her rafter in the Pearl just before she manifested herself. Once clear, the portal winked out of existence again. Sitting down on the rafter, she glanced around.

"Damn, how long has it been since I teleported up here? There's dust everywhere."

Stares at the rafter flabberghasted.... the portal opened in a different spot. Crap... now I have to buy a dozen more an hope one catches the Ether. I am pretty sure it is the cause of spontaneous combustion and hemorrhoids too...

"What you doing up there.... ?" I say..

I grinned down at him with a shrug of my shoulders.

"You can ask CG. This, up here, is home."

I stick my tongue out at him and start dusting the rafter.

Your dusting stirs up the air and sets off ERed's ether trap. All the dust is disposed of. Good job, Mr. Boyd!

Right! Exactly according to plan! That was what I planned on... yep... sure... smiles innocently... picks up the trap and dumps the contents into the trashcan.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

She rolled her eyes at him.

"Nobody believes you, scientist."

She was going to have to her drawing board and start plotting about the returning disturbance.

 

[ERedBoyd]

Is it just me... or is lit basically dead now days... I keep track of a few threads and see very little movement on any on them... including this one.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Well now, I've been sitting in my window chair trying to balance work and writing. Destiny seems to have weighed anchor and sailed off into the dark woods. Cait has likely been Dryfting off somewhere. Cg, our gracious host, apparently has been busy with his RPs. Jack is probably off building another railroad town. And it would appear that yourself has been lying low and lurking.

 

[ERedBoyd]

Yup. I have been finding myself more and more on another social media site where there is activity lately... so... :: shrugs ::

 

[Tio_Narratore]

One must go where the action is. Have fun.

Yep. Yep. Dryfter and I looking at houses in our area and it's been taking up much of my time.

I don't apologise even a little for monopolising CG in our thread, seems our readers agree with me
And personally, I lurk most of the time at the present. Although if one wants my attention then they'd have to PM me or post in a thread I have an email alert for - I check my email probably a dozen times a day, keeps me busy sometimes. I did just catch a cold so woe is me!

 

[Tio_Narratore]

My classic advice for a cold, Monique: Drink plenty of fluids (champagne is a good choice) and stay in bed for a few days (preferably with a warm friend). Doesn't cure the cold, but makes having it less burdensome.

Oh if only! We leave for a holiday on Saturday so I have a paediatrician appointment, a psychologist appointment (both child related - separate kids though) and a car to service and a caravan to make ready. Last week of the school term so throw a smattering of school events in there too!

If I'm gonna get sick, I absolutely do it at the busiest possible moments in my life (not actually sure if the not busy moments exist for me though haha)
