Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

"Completely and utterly alone," Callisto confirmed.

More rocking. "Quite the pity, that is. You know I find myself without some form of companionship this evening as well."

Re: Pre-Contest

"Simply terrible," Callisto put on her most solemn expression. "After all, no one should be alone."

"I have heard tell that one is the lonliest number," 'Herb' said.

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"That's so deep. Poetic even."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I should write that down." 'Herb' patted himself down, as though looking for paper and pen.

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Here I've got some," Callisto dug a notepad and pen out of her bag.

"Thank you, beautiful," he said. "You know I do not believe I got the singular pleasure of learning your name."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, me? I'm Callisto."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Pleasure," he held his hand out again. "And what's your boyfriend's name?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Likewise," Callisto took the offered hand. "He's called Angel. Stupid name I know, but hey, he's a sweet guy."

Re: Pre-Contest

"Sounds like one of them girly names to me," 'Herb' said. "But I am not one to judge. He must be pretty special to earn a lady like you."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Very special," Callisto said. "Even though he can be complete doofus at times."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I've ever been one of those myself," 'Herb' said.

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"You should try it sometime," Callisto said. "Girls find it very endearing."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Do they?" 'Herb' wrote that down on the paper she provided. "Doofus is endearing. This is educational to know."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"But frustrating at times," Callisto clarified. "Like when they construct elaborate ruses, even when a simple request for help would probably have done the job."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

'Herb' wrote that down too. "Lucky me I never had to create an elaborate ruse."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Never?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nope."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Honest as the day is long, huh?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yes indeed, little lady."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"So if I were to ask you something, you'd answer completely truthfully?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I would do my very humble best to try."

Re: Pre-Contest

"Your shirt, how attached to it are you?"
