Avoiding finishing a story for a contest and avoiding writing a new scene for my SciFi novel. Tell myself I am working on it subconsciously. I do that a lot. Gives procrastination a new look.

Runs into pub seeing many new faces. I gasp and say to Bryan "Introduction of my characters would take most of the afternoon. But let me introduce everyone to Peter Wisdom. Pete, just don't flirt too much with ladies. I don't want you to be thrown out of the Pub for bad behavior. By the way, brawling in the pub is unacceptable and check your weapons at the door. Pete placed several weapons in the bin before he sat down saying in a New Orlean's french accent. "Bonjour and I will have a Jack straight up." His sky blue eyes twinkled when he looked over at tiddlywinks, before the not so subtle smile showing his brilliant pearl white perfect teeth along with a wink of acknowledgement.
Sighing I shook my head, "He never listens." I poured him the drink and made mine a double. Happy Monday everyone.

Of course he doesn't, at least not if he's like any of my characters.
Howdy to all the new folks!
Wow. I'm glad that my characters aren't the only ones who don't listen. It gives me new appreciation of parents with their kids, and alcohol. But mostly cup cakes, just because one can never have to much appreciation for cup cakes.
Cupcakes, hmmm? Any particular flavor that helps you feel better when your characters are not listening to you?
*slides a plate with a variety of different cupcakes down the bar

*Dives in through the front window. Tucks his head and rolls as glass tinkles around him.*
*Comes out of the roll into a full sprint toward the bar. Swings his arm upward, and sends the tray flying. The cupcakes splatter against the back wall, now decorated with multi-colored frosting.*
*Panting, out of breath.*
Bryan!...*GASP*....Good thing....*GASP*....I got here....*GASP*....in time!
*Takes a second, composes himself.*
It was a trap! Any second now, those cupcakes are gonna explode and send glitter everywhere. Look!
*Ducks behind bar and points dramatically at the ruined cupcakes. A few seconds pass, the splattered remnants of the cupcakes remain motionless.*
Aaaaaaaany second now.....
*A glob of frosting detaches from the wall and plops on the counter. Cupcakes remain where they were tossed.*
Hang on....
*Half a minute, and nothing happens. Stands up, begins to realize he just ruined a tray of regular, non-booby-trapped cupcakes.*
Oh jeez. Um, I may have miscalculated some things a tiny bit. Ooooooh boy....
*Begins to feel the odd stares from the other patrons. Shrinks back toward the broken window, the crunch of every step on the glass-strewn floor compounding the awkwardness of the situation.*
I, uh, just remembered....I forgot something at the, uh, Jello store. I gotta go.
*Gingerly steps back out through the broken window onto the sidewalk. Walks away, making pained-sounding whistling noises.*
Hi
Who is he? Anyways, I am supposed to introduce myself.
"Hmm Hmm." I clear my throat.
"Hi, I am Sami."

You mean there are more flavors than Chocolate?
LOL. Well, those cupcakes *would* have been good.
*grabs a handful of cupcake remains off the floor, runs out the window and throws it after Kuranas
Wow.
I've always gone to the Jello store on horseback...
I usually run through the looking glass to get to the Jello store - It's faster.
What would you like RWrites? We have pretty much anything, see watch.
*walks over to the one of the beer coolers*. Give me a diet, caffeine free Coke from the "New Coke" debacle
The cooler spits out a bottle of water.
*sigh*. Sometimes the equipment thinks it's a comedian.
Sami! Buddy! Pal! Long time no see, It almost seems like its been forever! What's new? What have you been up to? What have your characters been doing? Getting you in trouble? IF I'm not careful, mine get me in trouble all the time.
Yup. Quite a few, actually, but if chocolate is what you prefer. . .
*a plate of chocolate cupcakes appears on the bar next to another plate of various other flavors
Mine cause me trouble all the time anyway.
*picks up a few cupcakes and starts doing tricks with them*
Watch as I make a cupcake disappear *munch munch* Ok that wasn't magic but it tasted good!
And what kinds of things do they do? -- mine like to hide my filters, so I am as surprised at what comes out of my mouth as everyone else!
*Sneaks into the pub.*
*Drops a small folded piece of paper on pk's favorite spot.*
*Places an order with the downstairs trolls to fix the window and mess behind the bar.*
*Sneaks back out.*

*sets up a Kuranes trap so that he can't sneak in without being noticed*
*baits it with exploding cupcakes*
Nope
those were *regular cupcakes* that didn't explode. At least if these get destroyed, there's a reason for it this time!
*trapdoor opens, without glitter this time...to be explained shortly*
*door catches on golden table leg*
Just...give me...a minute...to--*grunting and swearing sounds emit from the semi-darkness of the half-cracked trapdoor*
*golden table finally takes the hint and walks two paces to the left*
AH! Finally. Now, where's kuranes, as I have a bone to pick with--
ONA!
*leaps from darkness to tackle shineyyyyy squirrel and hug it and squeeze it and never ever ever let it get away again*
*pins tail to ceiling fan*
*leaves M&Ms for sustenance on top of the fan*
*eyes narrow at suspicious-looking romance hero type*
*points him in the direction of the shiny squirrel dangling from the ceiling*
AHEM. Ah yes, as I was saying, I have a bone to pick with you, sir. Next time, when you tell the trolls to clean up the "mess" behind the bar, make sure to tell them not to mess with the glitter abode under the trapdoor. Do you realize they took a VACUUM CLEANER to my sparkles?
AND THEY LEFT THE DUST!!

Were the words "coffee" and "M&Ms" actually used together? Whose brilliance doth blind this thread?... and right after I've sworn off sugar and caffeine for the rest of my life.
*Notices the glitter... LOTS of glitter*
*slides on tail, grabs hold of the ceiling fan, and pounces on Tidd*
Tiddypop!!
*falls through trap door in a fit of glitter and giggles*
ONA!

Put me down for 4 hours!
. I think Tiddleywinks did a pretty good job of securing that tail!
-ahem- I mean, Ona is going to be very cross with you.
Can we place bets in the form of coffee nut M&Ms?
-ahem- I mean, Ona is going to be very cross with you.
I dunno, I'm betting that she has a strong tail
Isn't that a compliment? Besides, I am sweet, innocent, naive and shy conveniently abbreviated SINS! Who could possibly be cross with a face as innocent as mine... I'm pretty much sunk aren't I?
Ooooh! Well, unfortunately, Coffee nut M&Ms haven't made it to my neck of the woods (I know, shocking that M&Ms would not want to be here)
So, I can offer up other types of M&Ms in lieu of coffee nut -- but if I win, I want Coffee NUT!

Sure. You betcha!
When the spun-crazy, cross-as-heck, squirrel comes down off the ceiling fan...
I'll hand you some nuts.
No prob.
