The news that they'd been set up by Helen didn't surprise James, not considering her apparent pathological need to play games with people's lives. He'd started to enquire for more details when he found himself knocked down, the reek of rotting meat in his nostrils. Sharp claws dug into his back before he heard a heavy thud.

James gasped as hands pressed against his back and he heard Jon cry out, “Helen!”

Helen - it must be her tending to his wounds - spoke calmly. “Sit down before you fall down, Jon. It's just a few scratches, he'll be fine. Sit, Jon!”

Helen is horrific in this setting, despite her aid! Poor Jon, and poor James!

Helen is eerily detached from emotions, isn't she? Quite scary!
You do the greatest drabble-serieses! *G* Is that a word?

What is the plural of series, anyway? Aw, sad, I just looked it up and the plural of series is series. How pedestrian. I think I'll keep mine...

Sorry, I'm being mean to the boys.

Thanks for reading.

Helen is writing herself, and is quite happy to be considered scary.

*bows* Hee, I like serieses, you should keep it *nods*

Thanks for reading.

Sorry, but it isn't my fault. I blame the prompt and the boys would like a nice prompt, please ;)

Thanks for reading.

Don't worry, Helen wants James... ponders, that might not actually be reassuring.

Thanks for reading.

AARRRGH Helen. Nice one.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

But... Helen's helping... OK, she's got an agenda but still ;)


Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

What? No! Helen's 'help' is certainly coming at a cost. Poor guys.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I blame the prompt ;) *nods* It certainly seems to come at a high price to the boys I might have to make it up to them ;)

Thanks for reading

Helen is very scary in this!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Helen is looking confused that you'd think she was scary ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Helen has very little patience with anything but the pragmatic, doesn't she!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* She does seem to and is writing herself.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, noes! Poor Jon and poor James! *glares at Helen*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm being mean to the boys. *Helen is unaffected by your glare* ;)

Thanks for reading.
