Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Or she shows up naked on his doorstep one night after a car accident and a thunderstorm and he has to help her out... and then she gets pnuemonia and can’t leave because the ninja llamas will get her.
OOkay. You are now fired from my writing consultation team. ;-)
She was just channelling Rose, don’t hold it against her ;-)
Oh, right, Rosie, not Rose.
So she’s a good Catholic girl and even though she’s a wet blanket, her purity of heart wins him over. See, he’s been unchurched for ages and hasn’t even realized what he’s been missing but when he finds out that she volunteers with a soup kitchen - even though she really hates smelly people - he wants to know why and then starts going to church with her.
And then she gets appendicitis and he has to perform emergency surgery right on the floor of the homeless shelter. Yeah.
Rose = naked people
Rosie = nice people
Lil’Freeper = Scottish kilt people
Corin = drunk people
Jen = people whose lives get screwed up by magic
Talon = ninja llamas and explosives
That’s kind of a backhanded compliment, isn’t it? Isn’t “nice people” code for “wet blankets”? :-\
‘Sides, *I* want kilt guys. And drunks. And poison and prison breaks and floods and general mayhem.
I just draw the line at nekkid people from the sky showing up in one’s garden...
OK, I’m obviously side-tracked...and a lousy housekeeper.
I just ground coffee, and then forgot about putting it into the machine, so I made coffee by running hot water back through yesterday’s grounds.
It was...repulsive. Now I think I know how they make really, really bad hotel lobby coffee...
Just nice as opposed to naked or terrorists. More like people you could sort of vaguely see being neighbors with.
Hmmm... well I don’t have a plot all figured out but clearly I just need to put in more really nice naked drunk Scottish wizards.
“He seemed like such nice man — quiet, always kept to himself...”
Yeah, like that. I suppose that’s the poisoner?
...riding llamas.
Ninja llamas. From the future.
Heh...could be.
Maybe I’ll have him get caught because he does it a couple more times and gets sloppy. That’s the easy way to get the not-murderer off. Kind of a cop out; but this is NaNo, after all.
You know... maybe he killed somebody close to the chick and that’s why she’s drippy. Cuz her brother or fiance or someone died recently.
They’re a little too geographically separated for that.
Her main trouble is just that she isn’t very outgoing. If I can get ‘em introduced, things will go OK. But I’m not sure how she’s going to get noticed is all.
I think the volunteer bit or something like it will work, though.
Showing up naked would get her noticed.
But that’s sort of a Rose solution.
Nobody's drunk in my book.
...yet
