weekly drabble challenge

[momentarylapse8.livejournal.com]

Rules:

1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.

RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible. Thanks.

Inspired really by laeticiav 's frankly amazing post http://indeedsir.livejournal.com/1047082.html let's just go crazy. There are clearly ideas that should never really see the light of day (I refer again to the link) but that somehow make the world a better place. I can't say we won't be judgemental and proclaim you to be not, in fact, a genius but really a crazy madperson of the highest order. But hey - maybe we'll all get a laugh along the way. Dig deep people - dredge up that long surpressed idea - bring out into the light your crazy 4am dream (or nightmare), you'll find we're not easily shaken (of course don't let that stop you from trying).

I take no responsibility for the continued good mental health of anyone reading the following, I also absolve myself of any guilt for ongoing mental trauma suffered by the writers / artists as they give freedom and headspace to ideas that belong repressed for all eternity.

Drabble: Unreal Fashion

Tucked down into a corner and sipping tea from a Dewar bottle, I sat my vigil. After a long while, the mannequin by the window moved, stretching its long arms and lightly hopping off its stand. I nearly choked. It clucked in disapproval at the sober attire I had given it, and stiffly walked to one of the mirrors, studying itself with its painted blue eyes. Fearing for my sanity, I watched as it went over to the neckwear, chirping happily as it plucked up a garish, deeply regrettable pink tie that had wormed its disgusting way into the inventory.

Snort! Bertie's personality works perfectly here. Is the plot about to get all Jeeves and the Real Girl Bertie?

Look at you stealth drabbling here. I would have missed it, had I not been driftnetting for Jooster.

I missed it the first time, which is a damn shame what with my van full of crack that I roll up and down the block.

And this all really goes back to 'Jeeves and the Dress-Up Doll', in which Jeeves is more than slightly mad and thinks of Bertie as his doll. Because I am made of happy!crack, I immediately pictured another scenario, with Jeeves as a tailor with his own shop where one mannequin keeps being found in ridiculous outfits he'd never have dressed it in. Sitting up overnight, he discovers that it is, in fact, coming to life and dressing itself in these silly things.

It's the stealth drabble that fixed all the woe of Jeeves and the Dress Up Doll!

Well, not all, as that was very sad, but I had to use stealth drabble in a sentence. But... If you were to write this story, I'd read the fire out of it! =)

I'm delighted by this. I wonder if he'll ever be able to actually keep Bertie around as a non-manniquin... ;)
