Oh the weather outside is frightful~ No, seriously, it's starting to snow seriously around here I believe. It's been sugar-dusting almost all day, but now we're getting some seriously build-up. Help should be on the way past midnight, though -- apparently there's a warm front that will be changing this to rain coming up. So tomorrow will be in the 40s, but very very wet. But then it's supposed to get extra-cold again on Monday, so that might be a problem. Brrr.

Not much to report on today -- I wrote up a few more drabbles for this series, watched more of Helloween's "Metro 2033" LP, and chatted with a few friends. One of said friends even made me fanart! Behold: Victor In Hysteria Mode!

. . .Yes, you're allowed to feel weird. I sure as hell did. XD But it's a great picture, and it really helps bring my vision of Wonderland!Victor to life. :D

Anyway, before I go fawn over that some more, I owe you a humorous-but-with-a-touch-of-creepy drabble!

Day Fourteen:
“Now what is that doing there?”
“Oh, Dr. Bumby hung that up earlier,” Abigail reported.
“Dr. Bumby?” Alice narrowed her eyes at the sprig of mistletoe over the door. “He never struck me as the type to want this around. I was almost convinced we wouldn’t have a tree. Why would he bother with mistletoe?”
“Maybe he’s hoping you’ll get stuck under it and have to kiss him,” Reggie put forth with a snicker.
Alice made a face. “Ugh. If he tries that, the only part of my body that will be meeting his will be my knee between his legs.”

-TTV: Ah. Yes, I believe your previous description summed that up perfectly.-
Indeed. I may have been inspired by a comic or two where Dr. Bumby tries to act perverted, only for Alice to lay an intense smackdown on him. This is sort of in that same vein. It's funny enough, at least in my opinion, but it does also highlight just how creepy he can be. BTW, this is supposed to be Alice's first Christmas at Houndsditch, shortly after she arrives (since she goes to work for Bumby in November 1874, according to all reports). By her second Christmas there, Bumby's gone and she's found someone she wouldn't mind going under the mistletoe with. :)


Okay, that takes care of that. Night all, and hopefully by tomorrow we won't either be buried in snow or washed away by rain!
