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!]

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

"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

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

Re: Pre-Contest

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

"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

"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

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"At the moment, very. Why do you ask?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's just that my boyfriend is a big fan of fashion, and you're about his size," Callisto said. "I figure a nice shirt like that would be just the thing to cheer him up."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I do not know," 'Herb' said, thoughtfully. "It is not every guy who can pull off color like I can."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"But I'm sure that even if he looks half as dashing as you do right now, it'd be worth it."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps later tonight when this shirt and I part ways, so that I may get into my comfortable PJs and enjoy a night of z's."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"But that might require being near you when you get changed."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You have pointed out quite the conundrum regarding this request."

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Well, I suppose what the boyfriend doesn't know won't hurt him."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Is that the sort of spirit that might lead a fellow like myself to suspect he has a shot and perhaps getting a kiss?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"It might," Callisto said. "For a shirt like that I might do more than kiss."
