Ahhhhhh... this is better... ~Greebo grins to herself~... Hmmm... me hopes that Jinx reads the warning on the box of detergent...

*from Kitchen* Ummm....What warning???

It's printed on the box... ~grin~

I don't know. Someone is kind enough to wrap me up in a blanket and then the rest of you bugger off.

*leans over to Greebo, murmurs*
Greebo, what _was_ the warning on that box of detergent? It being so recently that we were visited upon by - let us call them "goo bombs" - I'm sure that none of us want another possible disaster. Especially since this is a brand new clean forum. So please, what was on that label!?! And is it too late to stop whatever it is?

Oh don't worry... New Improved Sudso is marvalous at cleaning anything... ~grin~... you see it uses a type of acid that eats through just about anything... removing the stain very nicely... ~grin~... Of course it also eats through whatever it was supposed to be cleaning... but the warning message is there for anyone to read... ~Grin~... Oh... and be careful not to get it on your skin... in your eyes... up your nose or into any other major hole on your body... ~Greebo shudders at the thought~...

*Gwennie arrived back, becomes aware of the situation...*

Oh no! Not again! Jinx - don't open the box! *Rushes into kitchen to find that Jink has filled the powder tray of the washing machine and switched it on. Strange grinding and crunching noises start to come from the machine which starts to dissolve.... A mass of evil looking foam starts to appear on the floor around the machine...*

Help!

Er..er..er.. *backs away nervously* Be with you in a minute Menz. Just being attacked by a mutant detergant... HeLp!!

*Jinx and Gwennie flee the rapidly dissolving kitchen.....*

Greebo! Help! There must be an antidote.......

*Gwennie tries in vain to shut the door which starts to dissolve...*

*pulss spell book from her bag and flicks through the contents*
Ah! "A recipe to reverse the effects of Sudso detergent" That looks like the one

~Greebo stares down at the commotion from the ceiling... grin~ Hmm these titanium tipped claws come in handy for so many things.... Me said to read the Warning... ~Greebo shakes her head in dismay~... Sudso seems to be eating away the whole party... oh deary me...

Um..Um... Menz, I'd get off the floor... *climbs onto the sofa*

soon we will be holding this party in a tent in greebos back garden..........which no doubt is filled with digeasted doughnuts.....
yuk........
look.......
its very easy to defeat detergent.......
see, if you have a wand and a special book, like any good fairy, then all you have to do is say a few words, wave your wand.....
~says something noone can quite make out and waves her wand at the evil detergent in a menicing fashion~
*the foam guggles before diving out of catflap for safety*

~picks up what looks like a moth eaten floor cloth#

erm, jinx, this belong to you?

Bless you, sparkley! You deserve a kiss for that timely and effective disaster-prevention.
*hands pink sparkley fairy a Hershey's kiss wrapped in silver foil*

*Gwennie flakes out on half a chair in relief...* Phew! That were a close 'un! I reckon this calls for doughnuts and pizza all round to celebrate.....

I second that motion!

~Greebo plops to the floor... ~ Me thirds that motion... ~grin~...

My towel! Thank you Sparky! *collapses onto sofa* Now. What is Mr. Menza requiring?

*Heard by everyone at the same time but no actual sound is made*

How about a new body, the old one doesn't seam to be, erm, here any more.

*Gwennie thinks about making a pun about going to "The Body Shop" in Durham City but thinks better of it....*

Actually Menza ...... being a disembodied voice sort of suits you... I mean, who wants a body - all that washing, feeding and watering?????
