Hounding After Hours

No sparkles in the bar - or the downstairs labs.

They interfere with the nets for the noobs.

What?

But... but... why not?

No painting the barbecue pit gold "'cause it's pretty"
No hanging drapes in the bar's windows "'cuase they're pretty" - Bloody rags do just fine
No pasting sheep wool to the chandeliers unless the sheep is with them
No covering the bar in Haggis hair "'cause it's soft(er)" well, unless the undead doggie is with it
No spattering glitter across the floor to cover up the ceremonial sigils "'cause it's shiney" (those sigils are there for a reason)
No setting a disco ball on top of the ancient Aztek temple
No setting a disco ball in the center of the bar
No painting "Free Ice Cream!" on Bob the BOLO's sdes
No adding tin foil to the porch roof leading into the bar (the aliens are gonna' know where we've gone as soon as Ted tells 'em anyway)
No blocking the doors to the downstairs with a wall of glitter-bricks
No coating the zombies with glitter (it just makes 'em confused)
Absolutely no, no setting up a colorful merry-go-round and caliope on the bar's, ahem, dance floor

If I told you, I'd have to ki..., well, cause it gets all sticky and the nets don't stick to the noobs what with the superglue and giant spider webs and all...

*pouts*

Take away all the fun...

Besides, confusing zombies is a good thing... and they look so cute trying to wipe the glitter from their eyes only to make them sparkle even more...

Now what am I going to do with all my sparkles? Huh?

Shoot...

In between threatening me, Katherine has agreed you can decorate her room. She requests no pink, or purple.

I knew I liked Katherine.




Now... I know the silvery sparkles are here, somewhere... not in the box with the ones laced with shards... or the ones with little poison stings... or the ones that burst into rainbows when you step on them... ugh... where are they?

I like caliopes.



They can be quite creepy.


*decides just to ignore most of the rules. What's the worst that can happen?*

*itches inside of elbows*

You know, if you have some um...extra sparkles around someplace, I could help you with them.

*picks at skin*

I've always loved your sparkles

*shuffles feet*

*scratches at imaginary bugs on face*

You should give me some sparkles.

Ted, I think you've had enough.

Of whatever it is you've had enough of.

No such thing, man

When you're scratching at imaginary bugs, then yes, yes there is.

When you're on sparkles, lots of stuff can happen. It's fun like that.

Now if Sara would just get here so I don't have to come visit her, everything would be grand.

The van doesn't cross oceans, eh?



Figured you'd have it rigged with floats or something.

I'm working on a transporter. I've been testing it on volunteers I find at the local bar after closing time.

And that news story in the Portuguese newspaper about people's legs just falling from the sky is horse****!

Um....


What if we have a way to get sparkles? Can I deal them to Ted? 'Cause I need a source of additional revenue.

Bos, you're not going to pimp me out to Qw, are you? I mean, you'll be nice to me n' stuff, right?

We're buds, you and I.

You're a writer. Make them up.

Yes, but I think I could get more dealing sparkles than I could from other sources. It has been my impression that trade in narcotic-like substances can be a lucrative venture.


There isn't some sort of sparkle cartel I'd need to be concerned about, is there?

Even if we weren't, I wouldn't do that to you.



No one deserves that.

Yay! I was worried there for a sec. Not having sparkles around can really damage a person's self-worth and emotional base. Good thing I don't normally feel stuff or I'd be a wreck!

*pops in*

*backreads*



I'm hurt, guys. Hurt.

*fixes Ted up with a fresh new supply, now with added soothing properties*

Bos, I will have you know, being a purveyor of sparkles is not for anyone. It takes a never-ending dose of smiles, naïvité, faith in mankind and willingness to make others feel good. It's hard work. Sorry, man, I just don't think you've got it in you.

I understand the disappointment, but if it helps, the revenue, while wonderful, isn't really monetary.

And Haggis?

*hugs SaraP*

*goes off to shoot up*

Okay, all packed up and ready to go. Now we're just waiting for the field trip to start I take it?
