Who: Neil McLaughlin (the Caterpillar); Rupert Knaves (the Knave of Hearts) What: Introductions Where: Neil's NYC apartment When: Wednesday, January 14 - 7:40 pm Rating: PG-ish?
For Neil, Wednesdays were usually relaxed and spent at home. His only plans were to watch the new special on Comedy in America, on PBS. He was in th middle of watching Access Hollywood and what Michelle Obama would wear at the inauguration, when the doorbell to his apartment rang. Who could that be? He wasn't expecting anybody, but some times the most interesting guests where those who were unannounced.
Hitting the 'mute' button on the remote as he rose from his chair, he removed the cigarette from his mouth and set it in the ashtray to answer the door. A peek through the peep-hole revealed that Neil did not recognize the man on the other side. Neil paused to wonder who it could be for just a moment, before opening the door, keeping his body poised in such a way as to block the stranger from entering, if his intentions were not pure.
"Hello," he said with a smile, then asked in his Caterpillar fashion, "Who are you?"
