Ohhh...fun! Okay, I promise I won't be too naughty here, and I'll even leave J in one piece for those listians who are more....appreciative of his....charms. ~Bamfy Be Mine RR "So many listians, so little time..." Jareth thought wistfully. He'd conjured up a brand new bunch of flowers, and was aiming to please. He'd had only marginal luck in his endeavors so far but with any luck.... He vanished from the throne room and let the magic take him where it would. He appeared with his usual spray of glitter, and was completely baffled for a moment. The room was completely dark save for the dim light from a few candles scattered around in empty bottles. From somewhere, soft music was playing. 'Seems someone was expecting me.' he thought with a smirk, 'word must be getting around.' It was then a giggle cut through the air. A giggle he recognized. Jareth went ridged, and mentally kicked himself. He'd thought letting the magic pick his point of arrival would prove fun. The anticipation of just which of his delectable listians was waiting for him....but in his moment of lust he'd forgotten that the magic would take him to *any* listian, even ones he didn't particularly *want* to visit. Caught in this revere, he didn't hear hushed voices whispering about something while trying hard not to be heard. Maybe he could slip away without being noticed..... "Hiya J!" Too late. He'd attracted their attention with his entrance. He was doomed. ----- There was a familiar noise behind me, and I tried to disentangle myself from Catch long enough to spy on Jareth from over the top of the couch. He was standing in the center off the room with a bunch of flowers, looking momentarily confused. I tried to suppress a giggle but failed miserably. Catch managed to sit up next to me and was peeking over the top of the couch as well. "What's he doing here?" He whispered. "I've got no idea, but I think he just realized where he is." I said as Jareth's expression suddenly became stricken. Catch laughed quietly. "Should we let him go?" "Where's the fun in that?" I stuck my head up over the top of the couch. "Hiya J!" Jareth's face contorted in panic. "Hi Bamfy......" "Hello Jareth." Catch had sat up to regard Jareth over the top of the couch as well. "Un....hello Catch." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I, that is....I brought these for your wife. A present." Jareth smiled nervously and walked over to hand me the flowers, then retreated back to where he'd previously been standing. "That's so sweet of you Jareth." I smiled and got up to put them in the vase that already held the flowers Catch had given me earlier. "Un...yeah." He cleared his throat. "Well, I really must be going now..." "All right." "Okay then..." He took one more glance at Catch to make sure the demon wasn't going to disembowel him on the spot and vanished from the room, sans glitter. After he vanished I started laughing uncontrollably. "Are you ever going to tell him.." I asked Catch between laughing fits "..that you don't have anything against him?" Catch gave me a sly smile. "Naw. It so much more fun to torment him! Now, where were we?" ---- When Jareth appeared back in the throne room and heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't believe he'd actually made it back in full possession of his assorted limbs. He got ready for his next visitation, reminding himself to be more careful this time. One close call was more than enough.
