I Resist the Muses

By cooking, presumably the question is referencing Crawford's miraculous ability to turn a number on a plastic card into food.

Honestly, I cannot cook anything without burning it. Even to boil water, I burn the pan.

Thankfully, Gabrielle cooks nearly all of our meals. I really look forward to the ones that she has time to prepare. It makes a long day of traveling almost worth it.

My favorite meal is this thing that she makes with rabbit. Mmmm.

Oh great, now I'm hungry and I can't find Gabrielle anywhere. I'll just have to wonder down to the hotel's restaurant and find something good.

09. What makes you laugh?

Well, there was this one time when Obi-Wan fell down the stairs...

10. My life would be easier if...

...I had a pulse?

11. What do you want?

To be heard.

12. Cooking?

Thank you, no. You see, nothing agrees with me anymore. Passes right through me.

Force. This is rather like shoving slender reeds under one's fingernails. I'm no longer sure what it worse--that I've become a comedian or that I'm telling the jokes to myself.

I recently, ah, convinced the bartender at the hotel to let me dabble a bit. Let me share with you one of my latest concoctions. Remember, it is meant for Knights and Masters only! No Padawans, and please fly responsibly.

The Tatooine Sunrise

- 2 oz vodka
- 2 oz 7-Up or Sprite
- 3 1/2 oz orange juice
- pomegranate juice or grenadine to taste

This should produce roughly an eight ounce drink. Also, three of these has me on the floor, professing my love to the barstool.

I am not a family man...

I'm many things to different people. It all depends on who you ask.

I'm the loving son of James and Evelyn Danvers. My father, is no longer with us.

I'm the best friend of Pogue Parry, Reid Garwin, and Tyler Simms, so close we are all in essence brothers. We've known each other since we were all kids, and our families go way back.

I'm one of the sons of Ipswitch. Something very few understand the full extent of.

When we are thirteen we get this taste if you will of power. Oh it's fun don't get me wrong. It's out test though, we get teased, our will tested. The power is our life, use too much of it you pay a price. Your body ages quicker then it should. When we are eighteen we ascend and we get out full powers then.

Me and the boys we are close but we do fight, well that would be me mainly with Reid because he loves to use a bit more then he should. I'm hard on him I know but he's like my brother and I don't want him to meet the same fate my father did.

I've been a boyfriend.

I've been a pain in the ass to Aaron and his boys.

I've been the enemy to Chase Collins. He hurt people around me I cared about. Kate. Pogue. Sarah. He wanted my power, my life. He was addicted to using it, growing up not knowing the same things we did. I tried telling him but he was too greedy and I had to fight to protect my family.

So who am I? I'm a son of Ipswitch, and I am a Danvers.

Prompt #2: Family
muse: Sgt. George Carter
fandom: The Sweeney

Family. I've got loads. There's mum and me sisters, dad's passed on. There's gran, my aunties, cousins and the neices. Sunday lunch gets busy.

Sadly, I don't see Alison's parents much. Nice folks but they weren't too happy I'd married her in the first place, and I know they blame me for her death. All the coppers doing. Well, I'm only just starting to not blame me and I know I didn't have anything to do with it. I'm not sure if they'll ever reach a point where they accept it.

Still I'm lucky my family is big and forgiving. They took good care of me after she died and I can't thank them enough.

Then there's Jack. He's like family too. I think mum has a bit of a thing for him. He's got no one of his own, him being divorced and all, so we've taken him into our family. I know he appreciates it, even if he does complain.

As a man whose career is as dangerous as my own, one would expect fear as his constant companion. However, my investigative methods leave little in question, thus I am assured its outcome insofar as I am capable before confronting the criminal of his crime.

However, there is something I am loathe to admit that I fear most in the world.
