itsmeagain Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) On the floor, in a mouldy, mildewed corner, was a dead rat and three dead moths. These were his breakfast. Edited August 9, 2014 by itsmeagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 An insubstantial meal as they were very dehydrated. However, he detected a most delectable aroma wafting in the air. It appeared to be coming from a trapdoor in the floor. Lifting the ring with his powerful jaws, he peered into the depths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeagain Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Inside it was Septimus Zero`s larder or pantry. He was of the opinion that Septimus really ought not be named Zero, what when his larder has chicken, beef, ham and lamb. He began to eat the ready cooked hock of roast ham...yummmm he purred.

poppy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 'That'll do for an appetiser, now chicken for an entrée I think, beef for main course and then lamb for afterdinner nibbles, should do nicely.' He'd just managed to work his way through the menu and was sniffing round for crumbs when Tintaglia came pounding down the stairs looking for him. 'BERTRAND!!' she gasped, ..............

dex Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 'What a treasure trove, you've discovered! If you purr any louder though, you'll wake Dex and you know what he'll do, don't you. He'll cut up the best bits for steaks and grind the rest down for burgers and sausages. He wouldn't care if you stood in his way, I can just picture him happily grinding the finest bits into Dex's Delicious Dogs, so just finish that side of beef you've started and leave the rest till everyone else has left' Bertrand grumbles, 'I like to fill up then curl up for a couple of days, I thought as Dex seemed to have become comatose,I could gorge myself!

poppy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 'Time to go!' said Itsme, clapping his hands loudly. Dex woke with start, Poppy tried to look alert and Bertrand looked sulky. Just when he'd found Aladdin's Cave, as it were. 'We'll come back later when it's dark,' whispered Tintaglia. 'Maybe we could bring Dex too and he could make some sausage sandwiches!'

itsmeagain Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 At that the entire merry band moved to the top of the dingy dirty stairs and opened the front door.Frankie was really not sure of what lay ahead in London. As Dex lived closest to Dickens' best known haunts, Dex was now able to declare himself expedition boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Itsme recognised him instantly and ushured him to the side of the street, where they had a hushed conversation. Despite Dex's determined attempts to overhear, the conversation was muted and must have been in some dialect only itsme could understand, there were a's e's R's all over the place. While itsme was engrossed in conversation, the rest of us formulated a plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, thought Poppy mischievously, if they'll have Fat Boy Slim's Rockerfeller Skank on the jukebox.

dex Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Itsme approached the bar and noticed that the pub had a beer festival on, He picked up a leaflet and started to read some of the descriptions. Satan'Tipple, A full bodied ale brewed specially on nights with full moons. Two Cooks, A pale and strong ale, with hints of oak. Itsme felt a feeling of de ja vu come over him. Memories of being a teenager, vague and misremembered (mmm, So long ago, mused itsme;) He ordered and asked for tray, He carried the drinks over to the table, where the others waited.
