crossover_chickAnd the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
-HD: *pouring tea* I prefer the lost song "I'm Odd." Of course, that may be because I've heard "'Twas Brillig" about fifteen times now.-
Heh, yeah, I do think "I'm Odd" is a bit catchier. But they wanted their Jabberwocky reference, and the actual "Beware the Jabberwock" song wasn't all that great.
-MHG: Too jazzy for the movie, yes. And that "Beautiful Soup!" They butchered it!-
I know. ANY other tune but the "Blue Danube" would have worked!
-D: *sipping his tea* This is what we get for letting you watch your Alice In Wonderland DVD all day.-
You knew what you were getting into. At least this should propell me forwards with "Marty In Wonderland."
-VD: *picking up one of the specially-marked teapots that contains a tea/blood mix for him and VampDoc2* What about my story?-
Don't worry, I have your drabbles88:
22. Dinner
“So what are you having for dinner?”
“A half a pint of cow. You?”
“Diet Pepsi and a beef sandwich. You think it came from the same animal?”
“Heh, perhaps. Mystie and I don’t ask which cow the blood came from when we buy the stuff.”
“Yeah, that might look kind of weird.”
“Not to mention being a little on the snooty side. Mmm, that sandwich smells good.”
“I know. Can’t say the same about your dinner, though.”
“You’re not a vampire. You can’t appreciate the scent it gives off.”
“Guess not. Does it taste anything like human?”
“Sort of. There’s a definite difference in the flavor. Cow blood is more – tangy.”
“Tangy?”
“I don’t know what other word to use. It has a different bite to it.”
“Huh. How about chicken blood?”
“That tastes sweeter. And since I know you’ll ask, vampire blood tastes much the same as human –it just has a thicker, fuller taste.”
“Interesting. Never really thought that much about how blood tastes before.”
“I’d be a little concerned if you had.”
“Same here, Doc. Anyway, cheers.”
“Cheers.”
-VD: *chuckle* I like it.-
Yay, I'm glad. I did get the blood tastes right, didn't I?
-VD2: *nods* They're fine. Just don't ask us to explain why they taste the way they do.-
-DW: I'd imagine it has something to do with the different species. Maybe diet as well -- chicken eating sweet corn while cow has grass and hay.-
-VD2: That's a good point. It's definitely a factor to consider.-
No special story behind this drabble88 -- it just popped into my head while scanning the prompts. Don't ask me where Mystie and/or Jennifer is.
-J2: Maybe we're having a girls night out, and they're having a boys night in.-
-M2: Sounds about right to me.-
Okey-dokey then. :)
-RPD: *corporal so he can participate in the party* How about things on the Sims front?-

revison_doc: Harriet gets her first kiss from Jihoon at the Shaws; Holly scores a Bronze Flower-Arranging badge and the twins make best friends at the Mortes.
eurekasims: Allison gets a nice promotion at work.
-RPD: Not bad. Nice to see Harriet got her first kiss.-
Yeah, despite my computer acting up again. *pokes it in annoyance* Next weekend, I think I might be paying Best Buy a little visit.
-RPD: *consuming a scone* Probably a good idea. That way, you don't have to make a huge production out of getting Seasons once it comes out.-
-HD: CLEAN CUP! Clean cup, clean cup, move down, move down!-
*everyone shifts*
-OD: As long as you're inspired, how about some more work on "Marty In Wonderland" drawings as well?-
I should, shouldn't I? Let's see what the shocker is for "Girl Genius" first. We have mystery people coming on-stage, everyone.
-TD: Ten zlotnies on the Jaegers!-
-H: Five on the circus folk!-
Twenty on some form of Heterodyne Boys!
-TD: Do you really think they'd do that?-
Maybe. Who knows. This is the Foglios we're talking about.
-TD: Fair enough. They'll probably use this to take a short break.-
Oh, don't say it!
-VD: How about you try and distract yourself with writing?-
-HD: "Marty In Wonderland" calls! And you should pretend to write something on either "V.D." or "Boy Genius," for the other muses' sakes.-
Aren't you generous?
-HD: I'm riding high, I can afford to be.-
-D: The sugar caddy's trying to escape again.-
Oh, damn it. . . .
