His figure loomed over their fallen bodies. His foes writhed and twitched, their beaten faces contorted in a mask of bloodied anguish. A snarl came from his curled lips and his tentacles rubbed gleefully against the velvet suit of his host body.
“The calendar will forev’r be stained in the blood of the non-believers,” he roared, heaving the blood stained wrench in the air.
“For I,” he boomed, and his red pupils seemed to glow in the turqoise pool of his eyes, “AM WAITERBOT!”

You both entertain me and scare the hell out of me.

Dan, flatterer!

You do have a way with writing though. Do you write in your spare time or is it just a gift?
Chestnuts roasted by kittymao @ 12/18/2007 6:58 PM
and I’m out!
have a good night, y’all!

That was great! I love how the blood even carried over into the text! You too are truly gifted! Bravo!
Chestnuts roasted by Dan H @ 12/18/2007 7:01 PM
Dan, heh, wouldn’t go as far as a gift…I just tend to run with ideas a tad too far. Over-active imagination, poor self-control.
Kitty, mm, gruesome.

Wow, great jobs Kittymao, on redoing the Waiterbot scnee, and great job on the description, Guise.

wow kitty,thats an awsome idea, go through and edit advent calendar days, that would be be so fun/ny
and guise, same, i can see it now, “Advent Calendar 2007, The Book”
I’d buy that. Especially since the only books I’ve bought recently have been textbooks. It would be nice to have something entertaining, rather than educational. Or maybe… edutaining?
Well, one last one before I go to bed, and this one is partially Dio’s fault for an inspiring picture…
As the rabbit read the words quietly to himself, Kuse fidgetted in his seat. He’d been quite proud of the collage he’d put together for the cover of his card, but was less confident on his message. He’d spent so long trying to get the right tone and find the right words, that now it felt like a heavy weight placed upon his chest.
Hssxxlllo looked down to his newfound friend, whose eyes and smile tried to display a confidence both knew wasn’t there. As the rabbit sighed, Kuse’s body sagged slightly.
“Kuse, what the hell?” Hssxxlllo asked, shaking his head softly, “Roses are red….violets are blue. If you forgive me…I’ll stop being a Jew. Are you joking? Your wife doesn’t want you to convert…she just wants to know that you care about her!”
“So you don’t think that one works?” Kuse looked despondent, and he looked to the pile of other messages, “I wrote a few others…see if you like those any better?”
He handed the pile to the rabbit, who flicked through them, again shaking his smooth, furry head at everyone until he exasperratedly reached the final one.
“Roses are red…violets are blue. I’ll switch to Catholicism…to prove I-love-you.” Kuse, this is almost exactly the same as the last one!”
Kuse looked down at his hands and then back to Hssxxlllo’s warm brown eyes, “I thought I showed a little more talent for turning a phrase in this version, though.”
Hssxxlllo smiled slightly, he felt bad for the man before him and there was a tugging at his heart that made him bond to this young man.
“I just don’t think this is the right kind of vibe you want.” Hssxxlllo said, his voice calm and soft as he tried to explain to Kuse, “She’s not looking for you to compensate by giving her things…just tell the woman you love her!”
Kuse looked at the discarded messages and to the picture of Mare in the frame he’d bought especially for her photograph, one of the few purchases he’d made with his earnings that was just for him. “I don’t know how,” Kuse said, his voice was sad and carried a tinge of hopeless desperation, “I can’t seem to rhyme and be romantic at the same time.”
Hssxxlllo looked at his friend. He knew that this was a risky bond given their seperate pasts and their likely shadowy future, but nevertheless a bond had been made. A small smile twitched on Hssxxlllo’s face, his ears sagged slightly as if in mock defeat and he gave a sigh, “Ugh, get me a damn pen. I’ll help you.”

Now I would definitely buy the book. Heck, I’ll edit the thing for you (I am a bit of a grammar Nazi ). Guise, go get the rights and let’s get to work!
Oh my god, Guiseare you trying to imply something about Hssxxllo and his feelings towards Kuse?
:-O
Chestnuts roasted by Tresjolie9 @ 12/18/2007 7:56 PM
Tres, sure am, I think it’s obvious that Hssxxlllo is a friendly and sympathetic/empathic person, who in a short space of time developed a rather good working relation with a colleague and, despite problems with their personal goals outside of work, do have more of a kinship.
And, to bed I go…
Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 12/18/2007 8:03 PM
i hope matt reads this
but still, awesome, now for a title
“Advent Calendar 5/ Waiter, Their’s a Hare in My Soup”
chapter 1 New Year, New Fear
If there’s a scene where a Mare comes out of the Knight calendar, there needs to be a “Knight Mare on Elm Street” pun.
Guise and kittymao – great work! There needs to be an illustrated book, eh?
Chestnuts roasted by Frakkyfire @ 12/18/2007 9:32 PM
oh my god, frakky, that would be so funny
but this book totally needs to happen
we did the same thing in class, our teacher was/is sick, so we made a giant story, and different illustrations for each chapter
i’d work on more drawings, but i don’t have much time, my school isn’t out yet, and i have a bunch of tests
Ahh. I see we have a new thread. I looked at the website that solves the clues and the Playmobil links. Well it seems that this is gonna get really wierd now. If anyone needs me to help with anything ask away.

Hey everyone, I forgot to post this, but due to the demand, I made 2 desktop wallpapers out of the “we do what we must” image. I’ve never made them before so I made a 1280×768 and a 1600×1024. I’m not sure how much artwork I will be doing over the holidays (traveling and such) but if you need a different size or want the other image, drop me an e-mail (flickr account name and add @yahoo
Goodnight all, thanks for another entertaining evening! On a side note, I sold a $200 dollar Playmobil set at work today. She lugged it up to my cash and I just went “Playmobil? HA!” and she must have thought I was nuts.
I vote for a graphic novel myself.
