Now that Hogmany's over, there's still a chance to see yours truly don tights and sing and dance at the Panto in Edinburg. Only till the 10th, though. Then it's back to the wild mane.

Alasdair Buchanan

It seems congratulations are in order, mate. Glad she said yes, though I don't think there was any doubt of that.

[Ainsley]

Got any muffins?

[Lorna & Owen]

If you need me to babysit, I'm available.

[Gregor]

So this charity match. Is the plan to still have us ref it in costume with absurd fouls?

	Yes! Everyone should go see it. I took my dad a few weeks ago, and you were so good! I'm telling you, stardom awaits, and I'll be able to say, "I knew him when..." [Tor] Not at the moment, but they can be arranged. Is this a muffin emergency? How many am I feeding? Is there a preference? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Careful now, you're going to make my head swell. And we'll see, can't exactly walk away from my job. [Ainsley] No preference. Just me. I'm not going to die without muffins.. just craving them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Put selfishly, I don't want you going anywhere anyway. But I'd never begrudge you a Big Break.

[Tor]
I dunno, a muffin craving is still pretty serious business. I have scones I could send by Floo, until I can make you proper muffins? Or you could come by for a proper visit. You still need to ~~be inflicted by~~ meet Cecil.

How were the hols? Things still going well with the show?

	Aye, well, we'll see what happens. Some more auditions coming up. Cecil? I was thinking more you coming by here. Too lazy to head out today. Show's going great. How were your hols? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Guess I'll just have to be your Laddie, then- cheer you on and such.

Ghost roommate. It's a whole thing with the new place. We're getting on all right ~~when I do b want to strangle him~~, but his poetry is awful. You really should meet him. I think he'd adore you. ~~then maybe he'll shut up about Ro~~

You're lucky you're cute, and that I love you. If you want, I can come by earlier and just make them at yours.

Mine were pretty great. Way busier than I've had in a very long time. I can tell you about it in a bit.

	Ainsley \| Tor laddiethelion 2018-01-02 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, well-- Well, I shall certainly have to come by and make his acquaintance then. Maybe later this week or next. How could you not love me? I wouldn't say no. Unless you're going to make a mess in my kitchen. You remember my flat's not that big, right? Aye. I want every last detail, love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'd thought about trying to shoehorn in some kind of housewarming party, but with everything piling up as it has I may just wait and do something for my birthday in May. Who knows. You know you're welcome anytime anyway.

Oh, my sweet, sweet, Tor. My mother raised me better than to come to someone else's kitchen and leave a mess. Merlin's beard, she won't even let me leave a mess in mine. I'll pop by in about an hour or so. ♥

	Ainsley \| Tor keptinreserve 2018-01-04 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	Don't put yourself out. It's really just an excuse to show off my ghost and garden. And, to a slightly lesser extent, see friends as well. Appreciate the sentiment, though. See you in a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Scrimmy: Scrimmaging
King: Lèse-majesté
Buchanan: Francophilia
Yaxley/Urquhart: Ownership, fouls cancel each other, play on...
Meaghan:
Lorna: Decrepitude (I'm gonna ask you to call that one).
Angus/Lennox: Twinning
Pip: Cunning
Georgi: Impersonating an Egyptian
Moonlight Flower: Blossoming

What have you got?

	[Tor] laddiethelion 2018-01-04 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'm happy to call on Lorna. She's got a soft spot. Could also slap her with dragoneering/draconian play / dragooning ? (Or Dragon Shite) Joy: Convicting Scrimmy: Beating Buchanan / Ada : Sleeping with the Enemy / Romeo & Juliet Meaghan: Rummaging? Niffling? Pip: Moosing? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Tor ecoutezmoi 2018-01-02 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	They certainly are. And I was quietly confident about her answer, but it’s still a relief that the proposal you plan out gets a yes... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I can imagine. We'll have to go for drinks some time when you're free and not celebrating with your lass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alasdair \| Tor ecoutezmoi 2018-01-02 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, that's a good shout for when you're free. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alasdair \| Tor laddiethelion 2018-01-02 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, well, evening's are booked till the tenth. Though we could always go for a pint over lunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as it's an off day for training, I'm good with that. I've just been doing light stuff in the morning then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna\Tor/Owen mrs_dragon 2018-01-03 03:31 am UTC (link)
	I do. It probably won't be till we're back at training we'll need sitters, but the kids need no excuse to have Laddie come and play. Or we can come to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lorna\Tor/Owen laddiethelion 2018-01-03 03:33 am UTC (link)
