Post by Nedward on Feb 21, 2006 21:42:10 GMT -5
Nedward T. Underhill was not a pretty gnome; he never had been. Even as a young sprite he had lacked the usual plumpness and cheeriness characteristic of gnomes, and had been too serious to make up for his own deficiencies in the looks department with charm. He had taken to accounting early, and had become quite an excellent accountant in his day. The fact was that he had always been more comfortable with his numbers than with society.
Still, as he looks into the mirror and regards himself, Nedward thinks that perhaps, notwithstanding all the careworn lines, perhaps there is something to find attractive. Perhaps there is a whiff of high seriousness in his appearance, a certain respectable-ness, a striking profile that a woman might find appealing. Is it so impossible?
The boys are, mercifully, out causing mischief somewhere else this evening, and Nedward has the small, plainly furnished, but perfectly ordered flat to himself. The mirror, like everything else in the room is old and small, but spotless. Upon the table beside the mirror is a bottle of cologne, brought out from hiding and placed there by the old gnome to bolster his courage this evening. He has already changed three times and stands brushing and adjusting the hair on the back of his head. His stomach growls.
Perhaps a bit of constitutional is what he needs? He shakes his head and scowls, no. It would not do to arrive with alcohol on his breath. In fact, he had better brush his teeth again, just for good measure…

Grannie bustled about the kitchen preparing a meal fit for a gnome. She had the menu all planned out ...
first she would serve the scorpid surprise, followed by the strider stew, then would come the Roasted Kodo meat and the runn tum tuber surprise and of course the crocolisk gumbo and crispy lizard tail and for dessert she had prepared some Gooey spider cakes to nibble on with the Thistle tea. Oh I do hope Mister Nedward is hungry! Perhaps I should make some cookies too just in case he is still hungry after dinner and dessert.
Oh I do hope Carigana still wants the job of watching the girls, it just wont do to have them under foot during dinner. Grannie walked outside for a moment to look for the Elf...where is that girl?

[glow=red,2,300]Daintily sniffs the fragrant air as she creeps into the kitchen[/glow]
Gooey spider cakes! YUM![glow=red,2,300]Just as she is about to grab a cake she hears Grannie coming back inside[/glow]
Hold it right there young lady!
[glow=red,2,300]Daintily immediately sprints out of the kitchen with a hot spider cake in her hands[/glow]
ouch! hot hot hot!

Carigana hesitates right outside the door of the kitchen, unsure of whether she ought to knock first or just go right in. She reaches for the door to open it when suddenly it flies open and she is knocked over by a sprinting gnome who appears to be saying “Hot! Hot! Hot!” Carigana picks herself up, frowns angrily at the rapidly retreating Daintily and enters Grannie’s wonderful-smelling kitchen.
“Grannie? Are you here? I’ve come to talk to you about watching the girls.”
She waits politely for an answer, and when none comes right away, considers shifting to cat form and sneaking back out of the kitchen. Cari loves gnomes, but is very unsure about being left alone with a small bunch of them, especially the unpredictable Annelwyn and Daintily. Hopefully she has enough cookies stashed in her pack to keep the little ones entertained.

[glow=red,2,300]Grannie comes in from the next room with a sigh looking a bit flustered[/glow]
Come on in Dear the door is open.[glow=red,2,300]Grannie smiles as she Greets the young Elf[/glow]
My goodness look at you Dearie! You grow lovelier every day![glow=red,2,300] Grannie pats Carigana's hand lightly[/glow]
So do you think your up to the task of watching the girls for a few hours? They can be quite the handful when they have a mind to.[glow=red,2,300]Grannie chuckles at the expression on the elfs face[/glow] now don't worry dear you will be fine! I'm sure you can catch up to Daintily if you hurry . She was headed towards the Defenders Hall with some ill gotten goods.

Sipping his morning cup of coffee, Sorrieenrei read through the recent bulletin board posts. One in particular caught his eye, it read:
“Young Energetic person willing to travel and help care for young Gnomes. Must be willing to bake cookies and tell bedtime stories.
please contact LilyBelle Tinkwell in Stormwind for more information”
The gnome smiled thinking about the two young gnomes, Annelwyn and Daintily. Never a cookie in the hall left when those two are around, he thought to himself.
He thought about the orphans that come to visit him from time to time now that he lived in the hall and not above the orphanage. Maybe the girls could play with them sometime? He would see Grannie and offer his assistance, He decided. The orphans could use some new friends and this old guild hall could use more children around.
Careful not to spill his coffee, Sorrieenrei knocked lightly on the door. “Helloooo? Grannie?”

Rosi looks up suspiciously as Daintily sneaks in the back door
Just what do you have there Tily?
oh this?
Daintily brings out the still warm cake from behind her back
Grannie made us a cake, and you know what else?! She is sending Cari to come play with us!

[glow=red,2,300]Grannie opens the door to see Sorrieenrei smiling and holding a cup of steaming coffee along with the note she had posted about the job[/glow]
Well 'ello there Sir! do come in! Have you met Carigana?
[glow=red,2,300] Grannie offers them both a plate of cookies[/glow]
Now what brings you here Sorrieenrei? Certainly you are not wanting to babysit? Although I am sure Carigana would love the help. [glow=red,2,300] leans in to whisper to the other gnome[/glow] I think she is feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment

Sorrieenrei’s eyes lit up as he picked a cookie from the plate. He chuckled at Grannie. “I think Carigana could handle some wee little gnomes.”
Looking to Carigana he smiled and gave her a nod of encouragement. “Just watch out for the one with the cookies, oh and the marshmallows!”
Taking a bite of cookie and a sip of coffee he turned his attention back to Grannie. “I am just offering my time to the both of you.” He said smiling. “I often invite the orphans from Stormwind over and they would be delighted to play with the young gnomes.” He looked to Carigana and gave her a wink. “I would also be around to help out if you needed me!”

[glow=red,2,300] Grannie glances at the cuckoo clock hanging on the wall[/glow] oh goodness! look at the time! If you two dears will excuse me now. I must be getting ready! Thank you both again so much!

Rosi takes the cake from Daintily and calls to Annewlyn and Gwendi as she cuts the cake into equal shares
Anne! Wendi! Grannie sent cake come get some!
Annelwyn comes skipping in pushing Belham in a little baby stroller . The Imp is dressed in a pink frilly dress wrapped in a baby blanket with a bottle shoved in his mouth and looking none too happy about it.
Lets play dress up!
Look I brought my baby!

Gwendi Peeks into the stroller and guffaws at the Imp
Thats not a baby! Thats just an ugly toad!
Annelwyn pouts and lifts Belham out of the stroller to cuddle him
Don't say that Wendi! you will hurt his poor little feelers!
Belham wiggles and squirms frantically in the little gnomes grasp
See? now he is all upset! My poor poor baby! I will make you feel better!
Annelwyn grabs the baby bottle and shoves it back into the Imps mouth
Belham sighs in defeat crossing his arms he glares at the giggling Gnomes
