Who: Orsino, Gideon, Merton, & Heath
What: You are cordially invited to the Weird Sisters Dinner Party
Where: Casa de Gid/Merton/Heath
When: Thursday, 14 January, 1998. Evening-ish.
Rating/Warning: TBA, probably medium

Orsino had decided by noon that he should just give up on the cooking thing entirely for the day. Completing a successful meal was just not in his cards. It had occurred to him that perhaps he'd done something to incur this misfortune, especially since he thought he was fairly decent in the kitchen. No gourmet chef, and not as good or enthusiastic as Merton. Still, he'd never been as much of a disaster as he felt today. He'd left the message in his journal on a whim, half-jokingly (although the part about missing his bandmates was entirely true, and much more candid than usual), but as the sun began to set and the time for dinner rolled around, the idea seemed much better.

He apparated to the house in Ireland, arriving a few steps from the door and thinking that it looked much different in the waning light than it had last time he'd visited at full dark. Wondering belatedly if he ought to have brought something, Orsino got his bearings and knocked. Takeaway would be a very nice change from eating cereal all day.

"Can they get at you in the cages?" Heath turned his attention to the telly for about two seconds before he took the cold beer off of his stomach and sat up properly beside Merton so he could drink it. "I'm not sure you can though, mate. They don't let vampires go down in those cages, though. Sharks and scenting blood or something, wouldn't want to make the thing sick."

Mostly, Heath just didn't want to get dragged to go and pet a shark, and that was generally where Merton's little obsessions lead if he didn't forget about them completely in the next few days.

	"No shark baiting. We'll save that for overeager fans who stalk us into dark corners or something." Gideon didn't even like swimming, much less the idea of being put under water in a cage where huge man-eating sharks could make attempts at snapping off your limbs. "Why don't you ever want to do something SAFE like, feeding baby chickens or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Orsino's eyebrows had slowly been creeping up his forehead; Merton certainly did have the strangest desires sometimes. He couldn't imagine why anyone would put themselves in that sort of situation. Deciding it unwise to press the subject further, Orsino turned his thoughts elsewhere.

"Dessert thing?" he blurted out, not even attempting to make the change of subject subtle. "It wasn't tira misu, was it?"

"I don't know. It was a thing. There was strawberries. Or maybe cherries," Merton answered vaguely. Gideon always figured out what he meant, or Heath did.

He looked at Gideon and pouted a little. "I like baby chickens too. But I want to go in a shark cage. Or one of those shark tunnel things." Merton's fascinations usually faded quickly, as he was easily distracted. But he tended to remember longer when he was told that he couldn't do something.

	"Is the shark in the tunnel with you? Because I don't know if you can swim that fast. Can you swim?" Heath could play along as long as he could figure out a way to distract him later. He looked away from Merton to Orisno though, grin a little more wicked. "So, Thrusty, how's that girl of yours? Figure out her last name yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
