*sneaks up on the ing Flamedancer with a basin of warm water and a spare bottle of 'Miss Batty's Virtual Aminool Destinker'*

*watches with interest*

*opens one eye*

*puts a noseplug on, grabs Flamedancer and starts scrubbing with reckless abandon*

YELP!

*wriggles free from Batty's clutches--mostly*



*Batty still has hold of the tail--not the HT, just Flamedancer's tail*

*pulls Flamedancer back by the tail* oh no you don't! you're going to get destinked!

*turns just in time to get a faceful of dirty basinwater at the han.. paws of Flamedancer*

*while Batty , she s again*

*skids in the water*

*CRASH*

*looks down at her now soaked blouse* well that certainly wasn't the brightest idea I've had in a while...

*trudges off to take a shower*

*Looks around...pools of knows what all over the floor*

What`s all this then, somebody been taken, erm, ill?

*emerges from the shower still dripping and wrapped in a turkish bathrobe* I was trying to uh... well... Flamedancer rolled in something mind-numbing out on the course...

*goes to the bar for a couple McLurchers and hands one to wolfie* hello dear..

*a whimper comes from under an overturned table in the corner*

Bats Oops..sorry about the robe

Now then Flamedancer, out you come, let uncle Lurcher dry you off with this beer-mat. It won`t hurt at all

*reties her robe* no problem, wolfie. hope you don't mind my using your shower. I kind of got hosed.

*comes out, shakily*

*fur is all spiky from the water, and dirt from paws has spread itself all over, leaving her once gleaming golden coat looking like a moth eaten rug from the 70's*

No problems there, I look like that most of the time

*hides behind Lurcher*

*joins Amy*

Geez Flamedancer, if you would have let me finish you wouldn't look like a drowned hyena...

*heads to the bar mumbling* next time I'll just get the firehose...

*didn't need a bath*

You can`t beat a good hosin`, me old grandpappy used to say.

I try it regularly, generally use Bowel Clencher though.
