Current mood: curious

Attn: Fred
Have you seen Mum? Dad just owled. Forgot question mark, made it look like Mum was coming here. Panicked and had to hide several unmentionables. Don't go in my room for a while. Or the cellar. Or the hall closet. Anyway. Seen Mum?

Of course, George. I'm keeping Mum in my back pocket. Didn't you notice the smell of scones? I dunno, I saw her leaving last night. Looked pretty cross. Figured it was because of you.

P.S. It's turning aquamarine.


percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:27 pm UTC

Because of ME? I'm not the one who-- Actually, I don't know what we did. Ha! Funny that Dad didn't know though. Maybe she went to pick up groceries?

PS: Aquamarine? Are you sure it's not teal?

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:30 pm UTC

Well I didn't do anything so I reckoned it had to be you. Do you think she's on a twenty four hour grocery run? The woman's a bit crazed, but that seems a little much. Still, maybe she's being really fussy. Wheat or rye? So many decisions.


P.S. If it was teal, I would say teal. More hair, do you think?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:36 pm UTC

Hmm. I reckon you've got a point there. Maybe she got mugged in the parking lot or something.

PS: More hair it is then.

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:38 pm UTC

Oh, good job of that. Now if Mum gets attacked it's going to look like you sent someone to do it. 'This is for George!' Insert gratuitous violence.

. . . Did you send someone to attack Mum?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:41 pm UTC

That's right. I hired someone to mug Mum and leave her cold, dead body on the cement in front of Greene's Grocers. Now that you've discovered my evil plan I must kill you too. Hold still while I find a shovel.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:43 pm UTC

You couldn't even do it yourself? You had to hire someone else to do it? That's cold, George. Mum deserves better.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:45 pm UTC

But not as cold as Mum's corpse.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:46 pm UTC

That was uncalled for. I'm sure even in death Mum is making sure to dress warmly. You underestimate her scarves.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:51 pm UTC

... No, really, where IS Mum?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:52 pm UTC

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:55 pm UTC

What are you trying to say, son? Mum's fine, George, perfectly fine. Just as soon as the deposit gets dropped off you'll have her back, same as she was more or less.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 08:59 pm UTC

I'm not paying. Owl Dad for that one. I learned my lesson from that time I sold Percy's kneazle to the circus.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:01 pm UTC

Oi! I never got my share of that, you dirty old man! Oh, whoops, hang on, have to go wax my handlebar moustache and practise tying women to train tracks, back in a jiffy.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:03 pm UTC

I'll be here cackling evilly and telling my enemies my ultimate plans. And moving all my stuffs out from the hall closet.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:05 pm UTC

Trying to steal my thunder, I see. Thanks for warning me, by the way. I'm sure you moved all my unmentionables while you were battening down the hatches. Right?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:06 pm UTC

Sure.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:08 pm UTC

Uh, George, I think it's moving.

Hold it, is Mum really missing?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:12 pm UTC

Moving? I don't think that's a good sign.

No, Mum isn't really missing. I just enjoy randomly freaking out and shoving everything into closets.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:14 pm UTC

False alarm! That was me.

I didn't know your first instinct about Mum being missing was to redecorate, you see. Any possibility she's swiftly stalking us through the merciless night? Standing in the hedges with an egg beater in one hand and clean shorts in the other?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:18 pm UTC

You never know, with that one. But if she IS standing outside I hope she has the decency to come in and make us tea and do our laundry.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:21 pm UTC

And clean up a bit! Oi! What good's a mum if she's not going to clean your house after you've grown and moved out? I mean really. This mantle won't clean itself.

Right. Something's happened to Mum. Where's the great Percifer? Trying to remove that 666 I put on him last night, no doubt. I reckon he's got her exact location pinpointed on a map somewhere, probably in the toilet.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:25 pm UTC

Don't forget the tail I added to complete the devil motif. Should we send out a search expedition then? I'll check Brazil, you head for Siberia, we'll meet somewhere in the middle.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 09:29 pm UTC

I thought I'd start small, you know, the kitchen, see if she's in the breadbox.

Oh god.

George, it just swallowed the bench.

OFF TO PERCY'S!

I am not even home. How did you get in?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:08 pm UTC

That's for us to know, and you to become paranoid over.

(parent)
perfectprefect @ 2003-08-03 10:13 pm UTC

I will have you know that my locking charms are first rate.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:15 pm UTC

You just keep telling yourself that, Percy my lad.

(parent)
perfectprefect @ 2003-08-03 10:17 pm UTC

Why are you in my flat? What have you done with Mother?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:20 pm UTC

I think the better question is, what has Mum done with us?

(parent)
perfectprefect @ 2003-08-03 10:27 pm UTC

Mother is missing and you are still making jokes. Do you have no concern for the situation?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:14 pm UTC

Percy, is this porn you've got bookmarked, here?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:15 pm UTC

Oh, never mind. World's best THESPIANS. Wow, the excitement.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:17 pm UTC

Oh, then I guess I shouldn't worry about this folder marked 'CUNNING LINGUISTICS.'

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:20 pm UTC

Don't bother with 'The Cry of the Cock', it's a nonfiction page about ROOSTERS. Honestly, Perce.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:23 pm UTC

I'm offended you would think I'd be interested in chickens.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:25 pm UTC

Cheers! There's an email in his inbox titled 'Holidays Down Under' but it's just a free vacation to Australia. This is dull, even for Percy.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:29 pm UTC

I checked under his mattress. All he has is a Russian dictionary and a history on Mer people. Percy, Percy, Percy. This is sad.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:31 pm UTC

Nothing in his sock drawer but socks. And if you pay attention, they're alphabetised by colour name. George, I'm scared.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:32 pm UTC

I tremble at the thought of his closet.

(parent)

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:33 pm UTC

Perish the thought!!

Well now we have to do it. It's our brotherly duty.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:34 pm UTC

PERCY IGNATIUS WEASLEY. GET HOME RIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN. YOU HAVE A TIE RACK. A TIE RACK. WE NEED A WORD.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:43 pm UTC

There are no words to describe my horror.

Well, there is a word. But it's not really a word so much as a sound.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:44 pm UTC

There's a picture of the Minister in the bedroom. Except he's just standing there looking really vague like he doesn't understand what he's doing there. I can't take this. It breaks my heart.

(parent)

perfectprefect @ 2003-08-03 10:45 pm UTC

It was a gift!

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:48 pm UTC

Sure, Perce. The Minister's giving out photos for the Ministry Christmas party, is that it?

Actually, it's Fudge, so that sounds about right. Consider yourself lucky this time.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:45 pm UTC

We should do Percy a favour and redecorate.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:46 pm UTC

I can really see his kitchen in polka dots. Spice it up a bit.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:48 pm UTC

And pink frills for his windows. I have a vision!

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:49 pm UTC

Ooh. Avant-garde. I think Percy'd really like to go MINIMAL.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:51 pm UTC

Less is more.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:52 pm UTC

I think we could do something with the couch to really make it pop.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:56 pm UTC

It's all yours, brother.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:57 pm UTC

See if you can add some pizzazz to the bedroom.

(parent)

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:59 pm UTC

Already done. Now for the kitchen.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:24 pm UTC

George: The couch has popped. I repeat, the couch has popped.

Who knew Percy had a down feather couch?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:26 pm UTC

Oh, that's what that sound was? Interesting.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:26 pm UTC

George, there's feathers up to my ankles.

Feather swimming!

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 10:04 pm UTC

I forgot the question mark? I was thinking about it in my head but I guess I just didn't write it down so it should have been "Mum's there?" not just "Mum's there" so sorry about that, lads, but she isn't there??


percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:10 pm UTC

Did you try the grocery store?

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 10:26 pm UTC

She's not at the bleeding grocery store at this time of bleeding night

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:29 pm UTC

Well that was a bit shirty, Dad. Is Percy our new mummy?

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 10:30 pm UTC

See if he's got any pages bookmarked and if he's been looking up child-rearing, you two could do with a bit more while you're there

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:33 pm UTC

Trust me, I've already looked up spanking. Nothing there.

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 10:34 pm UTC

There's your answer, now find your mother for me!!!!!1

(parent)

Find her where? Is she at Percy's house too?

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:05 pm UTC

IS SHE!?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 10:37 pm UTC

Well, where did you have her last? It's always the last place you look, you know. Checked Ron's room?

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:05 pm UTC

She's not at the Burrow, for sod's sake

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:08 pm UTC

Language, there! Where did you have her last? Pull yourself together, man!

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:13 pm UTC

She was there before I turned around and then when I turned back she wasn't!!!! At Dogear!!! I thought she might have just left early but I got home and she's not here anywhere

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:17 pm UTC

Oh, that! She stormed out when you were chatting to that Parkinson witch. Blew all sorts of debris around when she Apparated. She must've been pretty angry.

So Dad, do you know anything about reassembling couches? Percy's just kind of popped.

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:26 pm UTC

She what when? Why? I was thanking Miss Parkinson for cracking my neck and then she was asking about the latest toaster raids and it was the first decent conversation I'd had with anyone all night and bleeding hell.

I'll get Mundungus onto the couch thing if you want?

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:30 pm UTC

Mundungus Fletcher? DAD IT'S A COUCH, WE DON'T HAVE TO GET DRASTIC.

I dunno, Dad, can't see why Mum would get cranky about you calling some pretty girl 'petal' and meeting her for lunch massages.

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:36 pm UTC

She's on bloody work experience and I call Ginny petal all the time too and she got the sodding crick out of my neck is all! Your mother's a right old bat and she'd better be home soon or I'm going to attempt to cook >:O

percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:40 pm UTC

DAD. If you call Mum an old bat at home no wonder she ran away.

(parent)
wehaveseven @ 2003-08-03 11:41 pm UTC

I only call her that when she sends me out to the shed, otherwise it's all Mollykins and Molly-bear and sweetheart and precious and I'm sure I'm oversharing, son.

(parent)
percyneedsalife @ 2003-08-03 11:55 pm UTC

Yeah, Dad. And this time she hasn't even sent you out to the shed.
