This is a little thank-you to [info]geri_chan for giving this comm a year's paid time. *hugs*

Title: More Than Kin and Less Than Kind
Words: 100
Characters: Kaneko and Katou
Rating: G
Warning: Spoiler for Hamlet.


Kaneko had gone into the hall to answer his mobile phone. When he returned, he began, "Katou-san, word is that Ninagawa-kantoku wants you to play Hamlet in his new production."

"Wow, Katou-san!" one of his co-actors exclaimed. "What an honor!"

Taking in the expression in his longtime manager's eyes, Katou asked, "What's the catch, Kaneko-san?"

"He is casting Kikuchi Katsuya as Claudius. And the Ghost."

Katou froze. Then he said, "How very devious of him."

"It is a fourteen-month world tour, Katou-san."

Katou's smile was sharp. "I will get to kill Kikuchi at least three times every week of it."

Bwahahaha! I literally burst out laughing when I got to the part about "the catch"! And you threw in two of my favorite minor characters, Kaneko and Kikuchi! ^___^

Of course, you know you are spawning all sorts of plot bunnies about Kikuchi and Katou acting together!

I was considering the paid time a thank-you to all of you for the wonderful stories and discussion on this comm, but you're very welcome and thank *you* for the drabble!

P.S. I loved that you had a spoiler warning for "Hamlet"! Or am I just being all English-major snobby in assuming that everyone already knows the story? ~_^

Eh, I was thinking it was probably overkill on my part, but with various non-native-English / underage readers on my various f-lists, I've gotten into the habit of erring on the side of uber-caution. :-/

*sniggers* Go Katou!

And I agree with the spoilery. I mean... the play have been out there for 500 years. I think you are allowed to spoil the plot. *grins*

*grins* Thank you!

I s'pose. I'm hardly spoilerphobic myself, but I have to admit it was still pretty cool the first time I saw Cyrano de Bergerac, when I didn't know what was going to happen. ;-)

Cyrano... it is such a good story. Even with the spoilers.

Oh noes, I didn't read the spoiler warning. And now I'm ruined...
Yeah, I did - and I loved it - a spoiler for Hamlet - it wouldn't have occurred to me.

And how delicious - Katou's sharp smile (quite Remus-wolf-like) and his comeback line at the end - perfect!!

*chuckle* Thank you!

(P.S. I am almost over my latest bout of grunge, so I hope to get some more voiceposts to you next week.)

He's still way, way, WAY more forgiving than I. There are people in the BYM's past I'd still like to shove through a plate-glass window, but I digress.

*hugs back*
