Title: The Day the Devil Has a Dinner Date Author: keppiehed Warnings: language Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 1788 Prompt: “dawn” A/N: Written for week #2 at brigits_flame. This is the continuing story of the Devil and his sidekick, Smee.
I could happily have joined these two for a decent chinese chow! and joined in the kvezing. BUT really... I loved the 'is this serious = AS a heart attack!' that slayed me!!! you wicked woman.
Sorry about the Styx overflowing.. and all the other miseries, and the minotaur with a corn allergy..you are the end, honestly Keps!!!
Only you could think up these... absolutely hilarious. again!
I only have one quibble. WHY should the Devil fall into bed with a full stomach and sleep happily having happy dreams. He should be... having 'eaten-too-much-nightmares'!!
You are always too sweet to me! I don't know if I am hilarious; I just know I have a soft spot for the poor old Devil. I am beginning to think he's my alter ego! Eeek! We both think we're a great deal cleverer and more suave than we really are: we both get by because of the help of more talented people surrounding us, we have the dumb luck to be loved despite our shortcomings and we both have a hankering for some yummy Chinese food! Heheee!
Aha! Chinese food is the food of the Devil. I knew there was a reason why the good quality souls such as myself can't stand the stuff. :) Along those lines, I would believe that the Devil is playing Twister in the afterlife. Perhaps he and Smee will get all tangled up some night and ... oh, I'm not supposed to encourage such things, am I?
“Fine, whatevs.” Grim coughed a word that sounded suspiciously like grudge, ... hee hee.
What’s the plural of genius? Is it like cacti and octopi? Genii? No, that can’t be right. It’s ridiculous, it sounds like smart people live in a brass lamp and wear harem pants ...” My kids love to make the plural of everything into Genii type words. I do mean everything.
And it didn't go unnoticed that just like I think Chinese food and the devil go hand in hand, you associate him with gardening. :)
Awesome first line. I just realized why I particularly enjoy your Devil and Smee stories so much: they are unique, to be sure, but they could slide right into Pratchett's Discworld and fit in perfectly. The nature of the relationships, the dialogue, the deep humanity of supernatural beings....it is all right on par with one of my favorite writers. :)
