indeedsir_backupRules:
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.

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.

“Have you, sir?” Jeeves queried from the top of the stone stairs.
“YES! Reanimated dead tissue, Jeeves. I…” the last of the Woosters paused for effect, and to slide his goggles down to hang around his neck, “am a genius, old thing!”
“Indeed, sir.” Moving down the stairs at a sedate pace, Jeeves eventually shimmered to a halt near the large table at the centre of a wild variety of strange, still sparking equipment. He lifted one eyebrow a fraction of a millimetre. “Is that a goldfish, sir?”

Date: 2012-05-19 08:33 am (UTC)"Sir? Are you sure this is appropriate attire to receive guests?"
He checked make-up, stockings and corset in the mirror.
"I'm attractive enough, I hope!"
Crimson spread on his valet's cheeks.
"Undoubtedly, Sir. I'll lead them here and I'll prepare the rooms. I dare say they'll be staying the night."
There was just the lightest trace of innuendo, but he immediately caught it, and moved closer.
"I hope so and if not, there's still my new young man." The heels made it easy to whisper in the valet's ear. "Remember, you're the one I'm going back to Transylvania with."

Date: 2012-05-19 10:11 pm (UTC)“What... are those things?” Jeeves asked.
“Daleks, enemies of the entire universe, dashed unpleasant blighters if you must know.” The other gentleman replied, using the odd instrument shaped like a screwdriver to do... something to a hanging basket.
“They just... destroyed people. I...”
Strong hands suddenly seized his shoulders and Jeeves found himself staring into bright, fathomless, blue eyes.
“I know. And I’m sorry. But we will stop them.”
Jeeves nodded, oddly reassured.
The Gentleman grinned. “Jolly good!”
When it was over The Gentleman asked Jeeves to travel with him. Jeeves agreed, as long as The Gentleman changed his tie.

Date: 2012-05-19 10:37 pm (UTC)Drabble: Metaphor
Date: 2012-05-19 10:42 pm (UTC)I fired three shots but it shrugged off the bullets as though they were gnats. It crouched, then leapt, and I threw myself on Bertram as he entered the room.
"Jeeves, what-" We hit the ground and rolled; he kicked the door closed and I heard the beast crash into it.
"Sir, it's a werewolf!"
"Dash it, Jeeves, that's Aunt Agatha! I told you she was a werewolf."
"I thought it a metaphor, sir."

"It does seem inevitable, sir."
"Jeeves! Tentacles! (http://ohidosay.livejournal.com/277.html?thread=89109#t89109)"
"Most disturbing, sir."
(Yes, they're looking at this week's prompt. We are now in metacrack or possibly crack-inception).
