Drink Count: 2 | He Put the Fear of Crowley Into Them

[eyesofaserpent]

A. [Action: Jonathon's Tools]

[Crowley can be seen in the gardening department holding a green plastic plant mister. He has an evil little glint in his eye and a smile on his lips. He is looking forward to menacing some house plants.]

B. [Action: Bilko Boulevard, heading to house number 915]

[Now he's walking down the street whistling and with a cheerful bounce in his step. Those house plants don't know what they'll be in for.]

C. [Action: 915 Bilko Boulevard]

[Crowley starts to talk to the house plants as he spritzes them with the plant mister. He puts the fear of God into them. Or more accurately, the fear of Crowley.]

[There is a sinister little man carrying a garden hoe in his hands.

He's got an evil little glint in his eye too...

... Just before giving it a test swing into the back of a drone employee's head!]

[eyesofaserpent]

[Okay, that made Crowley start. He looked a little queasy.]

What.... What are you doing?

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

[Put's his foot on his victim's back and wiggles the hoe out of the skull with a sickening, wet sound.]

Shopping, what are you doing?

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh, bloody hell can you do that somewhere I'm not?

[He needs a drink. Or fifty.]

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

It's a free country, I can buy my stuff here if I want to.

[eyesofaserpent]

Buying's fine. But this whole [Gestures vaguely in BM's direction.] method of testing out the products... I'd really rather not witness.

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

Oh, that. I forgot my wallet.

[They are no where near a register.]

[eyesofaserpent]

....... Right....

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

And I totally just did you a favor.

Now you get whatever you want for free!

[eyesofaserpent]

I can't say I agree with your methods, but I'll take a free mister.

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit. All you got to do is turn a blind eye.

Pretend like this isn't going to keep happening and reap the benefits.

[eyesofaserpent]

I.... I think I need a drink.

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, go have a drink. It'll all be better then.

Just remember, I thank you for your support.

[eyesofaserpent]

Support... Er... Right...

[He starts to head away, far away from the gore before him...]

[inthenertz.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and waves as the guy walks off.]

[April just... blinks at him as he talks to the plants, looking slightly confused.] ... Um, what're you doing?

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh, back in the seventies I heard on the radio the benefit of talking to your plants to help them grow. [spritz, spritz]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? That's pretty amazing... [Watches the spritzing.] Though, um, why're you using that bottle thing instead of a watering can?

[eyesofaserpent]

These kinds of plants do better with a good misting. It helps keep the air around them moist and their leaves clean and green.

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Eh, really? None of the gardening books I've read here mentioned that... [She makes a mental not to give it a try later.] Then again, most of the books here are kinda crap.

[eyesofaserpent]

Plants with leaves like these... [He touched one of the leaves to show the glossy greenness of it and the deep vein down the center of the leaf.] Are generally tropical plants. They're used to collecting water from very moist air. It's a rather too dry for them here without using a mister.

((ooc: This is the plant in question. It's a Ficus elastica.))
