Chapter 27. Noodle Incident

[thebestseller]

[[OOC: There's a smear of what looks suspiciously like maple syrup at the top of the page. Hmm. Also, Derrick is not affected by Mad Libs.]]

Here's a bit of free and sage advice, Sphere.

If someone offers to give you an Awful Waffle, DON'T TAKE IT.

It's not a food.

Let us leave it at that and never speak of it again.

Indeed? It sounds most intriguing to me.

Are you quite certain you cannot explain what it is more clearly?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

It's not so much that I can't and more like I don't wanna.

[burnt_orangesky]

Whyever not? I might accidentally receive one, and not know because you will not say.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Maple syrup and a tennis racket. If you see someone carrying both of those, flee in the other direction.

[burnt_orangesky]

...that does sound quite terrifying.

I shall remain vigilant against just such a thing.

[That syrup stain gets circled and a line drawn down to this comment]

Do I even what to know what this is?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Maple syrup. Get Chewie to lick it off.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Ew and his name is TRIBBLE for the last time!

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Look at them teeth. The name Chewie suits him better.

I [verb] it's pretty [adjective] to [verb] something called an awful [noun].

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

It's very, very adjective.



I reckon it's pretty swell to VERB something called an awful WE SHALL NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Aw, now you can't

[...just leave it at that SUDDENLY--she is writing something totally different. Derrick's right; there's absolutely no need to talk about it.]

What do you think of the weather?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Better than blowing about in a hurricane back upstairs.

[spandexisyouth]

Why would something that is named waffle not food? Or was it just a very awful tasting waffle?

...Why would you take something that is called awful in the first place?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

It wasn't so much I took it willingly and more like a group of people and mannequins cornerned me.

[spandexisyouth]

The mannequins attacked you?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Not so much attacked as LITERALLY cornered me- backed me into a corner, and, well-

don't wanna discuss it. There was maple syrup involved. That's all you need to know.

[remember_cephiro]

I am overcome with curiosity.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Maple syrup. That's bad enough.

/assumes tiny details like someone having introduced him to pancakes

[remember_cephiro]

But maple syrup is delicious.

Works for me

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

When used on pancakes and actual waffles, yes.

[live_ringer]

You do realize that putting it like this is only going to make the lot of us more curious, right?

It's cruel to say something like that and offer no more detail than "there was syrup involved".

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

But that's exactly my plan. I figure your imaginations will fill in the rest.

[live_ringer]

Yes, and once our imaginations take off, assuming the worst or most fantastic things, then start the rumours.

You know, it would almost make a good publicity stunt.

I AM a famous author, after all. I need to keep people on their toes and give rumors for the Sphere's tabloids.
