Three men in a room...

  • Three men sat in a room, one rather void of features. Blank walls, no decorations on the floor, and seemingly no ceiling. In fact, though there was light, it seemed to simply be a part of the environment, the room itself having no fixtures. The only thing present other than the three themselves was two chairs.

     

    The first man was obviously of Gilnean origin, his hair a sandy, rusty blond, a heavy beard and rough features indicating an outdoors life. The second, a worgen. He seemed rather dapper, donning a fanciful suit, monocle and top-hat, and even a diamond-studded cain as he looked rather harshly at the third.... A cat, splayed out on the ground and staring at the two with a distracted interest.

     

    "I'm telling you, we should get her a mouse. I caught one the other day," the cat offers, "and it's what we do when we like someone. Isn't it?"

     

    The human shook his head. "That....would actually be disgusting. I know you mean well, but really? A mouse?"

     

    The cat frowned....then smiled since an upside-down frown was a smile. "But it's a mouse! What if I caught something bigger. Like a bear!"

     

    "NO!" Both the worgen and human blurted out simultaneously.

     

    "Look, it is rather obvious the problem here is lack of creativity on the part of you two," the worgen removed his monocle, cleaning it lightly on his sleeve. "If you will allow me, I shall see to it that only the finest wines, cheeses, and silks are used to provide an excellent gift worthy of nobility."

     

    "Yeah," the human couldn't help but scoff, "with what money?"

     

    "Touche`, good Sir." The worgen thought for a bit. "Very well, what is your idea?"

     

    The human let out a soft sigh. "Well, could just...I don't know, catch something, cook it, make dinner, and let that be that. See what the night brings."

     

    "I can catch a bear!" The cat beamed.

     

    "NO BEARS!" was the reply once more in unison.

     

    "So," the worgen eyed the man. "In essence, the most simplisticly plain idea that has undoubtedly been done a hundred times over in the last hour alone. Dinner and a playful romp? Your romantic side makes mine weep."

     

    "Says the wolf," the man retorted.

     

    "Says the cat!"

     

    Both eyes turned towards the cat, who just shrugged.

     

    "I just wanted to say something."

     

    The Worgen and Human sighed, looking once more at each other. "Fine. Since we have no money, and I /know/ you can't cook raw meat without burning it, it seems we're stuck with option C."

     

    The cat rolled upright and bounced to his feet. "Bear!?"

     

    The human and worgen both sighed. "Yes....catch a bear."

     

    The cat leapt up. "YAY BEAR!"

     

    The worgen sighed. "Maybe we can skin it and make a coat...."
