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!]

Blair tried to nod seriously but ended up giggling. "You, Herb, are a very funny person."

"Why thank you my young friend," 'Herb' said. "My cousin Bobby, he says to me I should try my hand at the stand-up comedy. But I says to him Bobby, I am content in sales."

Blair laughed and leaned against the wall. "You might listen to Bobby. You've got a future in comedy."

"Bird in the hand," 'Herb' said. "Do not lose sight of what you have under the supposition that the grass o' yonder is greener. This is what I say."

"Yonder." Blair slid down the wall to the floor and laughed. "You said yonder! Is someone taping all of this? Because they really, really should."

'Herb' looked around. "I am not aware of any recording devices, though there is often a suspicious bush."

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen the bush around, but I guess by nature, it's supposed to be sneaky." Blair peered around the room. "Like spies or mimes."

"Couldn't have a mime team," 'Herb' said, thinking of the earlier part of the conversation. "No cheers."

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That's true. The cheerleaders would just wander around stuck in a box or walking against the wind all the time. Very boring."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Plus scaring the local populace."

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I've never really understood the whole fear of mimes things. Although I think Fandom mimes could probably trap people in boxes with them or something. That would be scary."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Could be demons too. Hard to tell under the makeup."

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair blinked. "Now the next time I see a mime I'm going to think it's a demon and probably run away before I get to see him climbing an imaginary rope."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Many would deem that a wise course of action regardless," 'Herb' said.

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair leaned back slightly. "I once wanted to be a mime, but I couldn't handle the silent part of the job. Watch"

He stopped talking and held his breath for about 30 seconds.

"For some reason when I try to stop talking I always hold my breath. So mime=death for me."

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I have heard that about silence," 'Herb' nodded sagely.

Re: Pre-Contest

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"So any advice for me in the competition?"

Re: Pre-Contest

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Choose your animal wisely, and mind the teamwork," 'Herb' said. He clapped Blair on the shoulder. "I'm sure you'll do great."

[ooc: Going to bed. Night!]

"Thanks, man!" Blair bounced over to start the contest.

[g'night!]
