Finally, I thought, those blasted Olympics are over. Now maybe I can get some peace. (LOL, I don't even bother to look around...if LOL by myself is the most obvious indicator of the stress I am under then I figure I am in good shape)
GC: (materializes) I have been working very hard lately Bard.
MM: (*you* have?)
GC: (arching an eyebrow) We are going on vacation.
MM: (we?!)
GC: Yes - WE. Where would you like to go?
MM: (blink)
GC: No.
MM: I didn't even say anything yet Goddess.
GC: Ooops, jumped the gun. Go ahead.
MM: (blank stare)
GC: Well?
MM: (sigh) Jama...
GC: NO! (LOL)
MM: (rolling my eyes)
GC: Oh bard, this is going to be so much fun!
MM: Where are we going?
GC: Las Vegas of course!
MM: But Goddess, I live in Las Vegas so it won't really be a va..... (sigh) when do we leave?
GC: That's the spirit! (hands me a list) You better get started there's lots to be done before we go.
MM: (I hate vacations)
GC: What was that?
MM: Why are we taking a plane Goddess, can't you just will us there?
GC: Of course I could just will us there. That's not the point. This allows quality time. Gene said that it's very important for a Goddess to spend quality time with her bard.
MM: (oh you're going to pay Smolko, you're going to pay)
GC: Actually, the trip is on me. But perhaps you are right, Gene should pay. It was his idea after-all.
MM: (blank stare) (looking over the list) uhm...you can't take your sword on the plane Goddess. They won't allow it.
GC: (blank stare)
MM: They'll think you're some kind of terrorist or something.
GC: (blank stare)
MM: Anyway, if this trip is for quality time, why is Hudson coming with us?
GC: (blank stare)
MM: (sigh) Will Hudson be the only one coming with us?
GC: (contemplating) You may bring one person.
MM: (blink)
GC: No! (lol) Oops jumped the gun again.
MM: Who may I bring Goddess? (it's just easier that way)
GC: (contemplating) Not matt.
MM: (pout)
GC: Look. This is a vacation. I don't have time to deal with YOUR insanity much less that of your twin...and the two of you together, forget about it. Why don't you bring that other one?
MM: What other one?
GC: You know that chick from Alaska.
MM: (blank stare) Chick, Goddess?
GC: I have been reading up on Las Vegas culture, didn't I use it right?
MM: Yes but I don't think Trancer would appreciate it.
GC: Why not?
MM: Because she is not a chicken.
GC: We'll see.
