Froggy is sat at her usual corner table, scribbling away with her usual frenetic energy at a bit of parchment, ink spattering from her quill all over everything within a two foot radius. Occasionally she crosses something out with such violence it's a wonder her quill doesn't snap.

She is so engrossed she misses the announcement, and the ensuing congratulations, until someone taps her on the shoulder. She looks up and scowls that the fool, slowly reaching for one of her geisha FrogMod hairpins. As the pins are with the rest of her geisha outfit, piled neatly on a chair beside her, the action takes time, giving the patron chance to quickly babble something about Ludens and The Shadow One being announced as the new AMs.

"Oh," she says. She smiles at both of the new incumbents. "Congratulations. I'm sure you will do well." Froggy moves to scratch her cheek with her right hand, nearly stabbing herself in the face with her quill. "Oh, I should warn you both that if you damage any of my books," she gestures to a series of massive, teetering piles of books taller than the frog herself, "while cleaning, you will pay to replace them."

Without waiting for a reply froggy returns to her writing, ink once more showering over table, floor, and the off-duty frog in her medieval outfit herself.

A round of ale for everyone to celebrate!

Thanks Mouzafphaerre and Froggy!

Do you mean we are not allowed to remove the dust and cobwebs there?

**AntiochusIII** · 10-02-2005, 20:04

Congratulations for both of you.

That, my good sir, is a dangerous proposition..

Froggy drops her quill; it bounces twice and rolls off onto the floor. "Gah!" she exclaims. "GAH!" Now she is as close as a quiet frog can get to shouting. "Dust and cobwebs on my books!? NEVER! They are pristine, perfect, flawless, scrupulously clean, sparkling even, and you can't tell that they have even been opened, let alone read many times over! Perfect!"

She blinks a couple of times, and shuffles in her seat. Rather nervously reaches for a fresh quill, something unwelcome having occurred to her a little too late. "Er ... you were joking, maybe?" The quill isn't to her liking, so she carefully whittles it into better shape with a small penknife, managing to cut herself just the once for a change.

Froggy considers the prospect of it being teasing as she works, and by the time the quill is completed she has found something more to say. "Humph," she declares.

People being rather too much effort, she returns to writing. Without paying much attention to anything but her work, froggy tells the two new AMs, "You may, however, clean up the mess this ink leaves everywhere ..."

Thanks AntiochusIII, drisos, edyzmedieval, kagemusha, ichi and Aetius the Last Roman. Have a pint of ale!

To The Shadow One: good luck with your photoshoot ordeal. It may seem little consolation now, but once your done you will enjoy your time off all the better.

To Monk: a life without danger is a life not worth living. That's a quote, but I don't know from whom.

I am glad to hear you are taking care of that corner of the Mead Hall. I'll put down a floor-cover to catch the ink. And when you are done writing, I hope you'll join us for some ale.
