What I did on my Summer Vacation (a sketch-journal entry) Part 1

[bldy_cute_molly]

Having been back in the city for a while now, Molly has finally had a chance to unpack her bags from her vacation trip to Sunny, Sunny Sukho. Among the things unpacked was a sand-gritted, salt-crusted leatherbound journal, containing, amongst others, the following pages...

Of course Begmans wear socks at the beach! Our feet get cold! Even on the beach!

[glanworth_rta]

Also, the bloody sand gets everywhere without them.

[bldy_cute_molly]

I want to mention the sand actually being quite hot, but then you'd have yet another reason for the sock wearing. And I refuse to give you another reason!!

Ooops.

[glanworth_rta]

Was it? I didn't notice, what with the insulating power of my socks and all.

This is what happens when you visit a beach from the wrong side! Socks and blasted parrots everywhere.

The adoration of the monkey god seems quite interesting, though.

[bldy_cute_molly]

You know, I never thought of there being another side to a beach before. Interesting perspective, that.

The monkeys were ADORABLE! It's amazing the kinds of things you can teach them to do by manipulating, with unseen hands, their chosen god!

Personally, I like to think that we left them technologically advanced, what with the devices we had to leave behind on the island. In reality, I reckon they're back to sitting around flinging poo at each other.

Um.

Might have left one or two of the artillery pieces behind.

Don't much want to think about what they're using for ammunition now.

[rta_mostyn]

Just imagine what that band of monkeys might be doing now if they were orderly monkeys you were training via the distant manipulation of their chosen god! Why, by this point they might be filing the coconuts properly, and declaring war on less orderly tribes.

FABULOUS!

I don't want to know why wind-powered tools were needed on a vacation, do I?

Also, I seem to remember monkeys like you and tend to follow you around. Do we have to worry about a monkey infestation over by the Lift?

[bldy_cute_molly]

Begman-style vacation, sir. Had to have all the comforts of home, you see.

I was...erm...encouraged to not bring the monkeys home, unfortunately. If there's an infestation, it ain't my fault.
