"Gah!" The rogue spluttered.

The barbarian set the empty bucket down. "Glad you're awake."

"But, we were at the fair?"

"I carted you off."

The rogue's eyes narrowed. "We were drugged?"

"YOU were. I mistrust wandering traders offering odd-#flavoured sweets for free."

The rogue checked his coin pouch. Empty. His laugh was #hollow. "I #suspect I'm not the first."

"Yeah." The barbarian gently patted his own purse. It was heavier than a few minutes ago.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

Dear Friends of shopping, :ablobdancer:

My #humble #apologies. :abloblurk:

We went out to get some #soap. Came back with a #Peace #Lily, cut daffodils and a heavy bag of "essentials", including soap, hand wash, a book on #Astronomy, #chamomile tea and ... oops ... :ablobpats:

As a #penance I had a #cold #shower ... well the brrrr shower lasted about ten seconds. Most of it was warm and I smell like a #Lynx. My brother-in-law gave me a shower gel, #flavoured with #coconut and #black #pepper, to wash away my capitalist suckering ...

I have not washed my hair for several months and that continues. The #hair and #scalp do #adjust but it is a hard call ... Marketing has producted our hair ... :netkitty:

:lobster: Dear Elephants and friends,
#Favoured, #flavoured and #fragrant.
As a heretical [insert beliefs and opinions of choice] #FAQs advocate, I like to:
- #Find the Impassable #Transmission :ablobblastoff:
- #Meditate on my #Excellencies :ablobtonguewink:
- Act the #Play
- Baste as well as roast
For example, here are some lesser FAQs about #Buddhism #Lite:
- The #Buddha liked to wear death saris/shrouds, probably dyed with #turmeric
- He said people should erect a #statue of the tree he gained #enlightenment under, rather than of hymn/her
