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

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!]

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"How very fortuitous," 'Herb' said. "I may have to say this is my lucky shirt now, instead of my lucky hat."

"Darn, if it's your lucky shirt, how will I get you to part with it?"

"All alone? You might try to take advantage of me."

"Why now I am starting to think you are attempting to take advantage of me."

"I can't help it if that shirt makes me want to tear it off your body."

"The salesman was right," 'Herb' said. "Ladies love the Hawaiian."

"Oh, definitely," Callisto grinned. If 'Herb' had any sense, he'd start worrying about the future state of his wardrobe.

"I am so glad I came here tonight," 'Herb' said.

It might be pointed out that if he had any sense, he wouldn't have done any of this in the first place.
