NARRATIVE ENTRY, JABBATHEHUT
Meanwhile, Winc has graciously accepted Lt. Budge’s invitation to chat.
Online Host
*** You are in room “White Flag” ***
Winc:::standing outside the lion’s cage, peering in at the strong handsome lion wearing a badge:: Howdy!
Ms. Budge:Thank you so much for talking with me.
Winc:Any time, darling.
Ms. Budge:You don’t sound like a man.
Winc:Why *thank you*. I’m not being a man today. Are you?
Ms. Budge:I am a man.
Winc:Cute screen name. Get you many dates?
Ms. Budge:It was a mistake in Registration. I assure you I’m Lt. Budge, a man.
Winc:::purring:: Oh I doubt that, but we’ll let it ride. What do you want?
Ms. Budge:What do you mean you’re “not being a man today”?
Winc:::eyes sparkling:: You haven’t done your homework.
Ms. Budge:Ah, I see. But why *do* you change around so much?
Private Message to Ms. Budge
Winc:Please feel free to use your Private Messages, dear. They’re so much more intimate.
Ms. Budge:I’ll try, but this is still fairly new to me.
Winc:::slow smile:: How sweet!
Winc:Is *that* what you want to know? Why I change? ::laughing delightedly:: Try it yourself!
Ms. Budge:I’d rather hear it from you.
Winc:What is it you want to hear? What I’m wearing, right?
Ms. Budge:No, no, no. I wonder if you know that the law is after you?
Winc:::smiling softly, opening top buttons of my blouse:: The law? Whatever do they want?
Ms. Budge:Jesus, lady. That’s not what this is about. We’ve been talking with your friend Scratch.
