Gwennie

*Gwennie ambles up to Kumabear's shack, ties her three dogs up outside and knocks on the door. She is carrying an enormous piece of honeycomb*

Yoohoo! Is anyone home?

Yes, dear? smiley - smiley

*Phillipa, Mari-rae's useful niece, arrives just behind Gwennie. She is carrying a huge basket overflowing with baked goods, jams and honeys, useful coupons for the Village Shops, a six pack of cold Heineken's, and a note that says "Welcome" in shaky, but legible handwriting.*

Kumabear! smiley - smiley Hi! Please come down off that roof and greet your guests, but be careful not to fall!

Hi Phillipa! Gosh! Well your basket certainly puts my bit of honeycomb to shame! smiley - winkeye

*Embarassed*
Its just the standard Welcome basket that everyone gets. Do you know this person, Gwennie? He has a nice beard.

Gwennie

*Glares up at Kumabear through a soggy mass of hair and fish tails*

Thanks! Is this some kind of new hair treatment or are you always this hospitable to your visitors? smiley - tongueout

*Philippa stifles a giggle as she gingerly removes a large fish from the front of Gwennie shirt at the same time pinching her nose with her free hand*

Phew! You could have been using fresh fish, Kumabear! I smell as if I've been using Eau de Poisson Mort!

*A swarm of wasps decide they like the smell of fish emanating from Gwennie and converge on her*

OWWW! GERROFF!

*Leaps around trying to avoid the attentions of the wasps*

*Shrieks and jumps to the side, upsetting the ladder that Kumbear was climbing down on. He spills to the ground and rolls onto fish parts and the honeycomb. The wasps descend on him. Phillipa shrieks, drops the welcome basket and the jam jar breaks, throwing jam up all over her. The wasps like the jam too, and attack! The three figures run in circles, swatting at the wasps and yelping.*

Eeek! Eeek! Eeek!

Gwennie

*Relaxes as the last of the wasps converge on the rapidly retreating figure of Philippa and casually picks a fish tail from her hair*

Wow! Olympics or bust, hey? smiley - tongueout

So...Kumabear, how are we going to reassemble you this time? At the moment, I've got us searching for a plant lady with magic powers (reference to Lyeka in "Lexx" and how she restored Xev). What do you think? Perhaps you would like me to resort to the reliable old staple gun and glue again! smiley - winkeye
