005 [Four and Twenty Blackbirds]

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye...

[Drusilla is lying on her back, and, although she is gazing up at the 'ceiling', she doesn't seem to be looking at it.]

I don't have any rye in my pockets. I gave it to little Anne, so she could sow it in the garden. Stitching the soil until we had a full crop. I can't eat it. It sticks in my throat, stealing all my words.

They're all I have left now. Words and words. They chase me around, and I try to catch them. I can't remember which ones belong to me.

You can't bake blackbirds into pies. It's wicked. You'd have to clip their wings first, and isn't fair to stop people from flying.

[She spreads out her arms.]

I used to fly. I've lost all my pinfeathers, and my tummy is rumbling. There's nothing left to fill it.

OOC: Drusilla is hungry. Unfortunately, her experiment is still underway, so she is finding it rather hard to feed.

You could try some burritos. Those can get pretty filling.

Burritos?

[She lifts her head off the ground to give him a quizzical glance.]

[mercwamouth]

Burritos.

Where can I find them?

[mercwamouth]

Mexico.

I don't think Spike would be very happy if I ran all the way to Mexico to get my dinner.

[mercwamouth]

Then Taco Bell is fine too.

I'll go on an adventure, and find it.

Will I have to swim?

[mercwamouth]

Depends on the path you take I guess.

Adventure ho!

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

I like adventures. They're like fairy tales.

[mercwamouth]

Then go! Go for the good of mankind! Er-- Vampirekind!

Mmmmmm. I will. I can bring back presents, and give them to the stars.
