Curse the Dawn (Cassandra Palmer #4)

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

Which one? Wait, don't answer. I already know it, you naughty lot.

[Lannister]

Hehe, I never said a word!

[Aileen]

Lol I have a feeling that you want Marlowe with only a ribbon...just a guess though!! LOL BUTTTT If you get him for Christmas I wouldn't mind Pritkin for Summer Solstice!! As long as his hair was it's typically CRAZY self!! Pritkin without it just isn't the same...

[Lannister]

LOL you could do a lot of fun things with a ribbon!!

Of course you can have Pritkin for the summer solstice Aileen. And there's a winter solstice too! I would totally make Pritkin grow his hair though. I like longer hair! :D

[Gypsi Babii]

Hey Hey hey .. NO fair. i want Pritkin for a day ...hhhmmmmm i have to think. Ok , I dont mind renting him out on the solstice day. But i may have to have Cassie shift me back to the same day and steal him. Ribbons Ribbons.
A naked Pritkin + Ribbon= a delicious gift

Mircea..Lannister you are right about Halloween , I can see (in my minds eye) him wearing all black leather with black wings , some chains and a whip and mounted to a wall.. yummy

I love the holidays.. dont you !,,hahaha

[Freya]

Someone needs to create a cloning machine that works so everyone can feel the love.
Man I could make billions. If only it was ethical.

[Gypsi Babii]

@Freya.. if i could clone Pritkin. The things that i would do>>>>> are beyond my dreams.

[Aileen]

*drools over image of Pritkin with only a ribbon on* YUMMMMM...though...we can't leave poor Mircea out in the cold now...Like on Christmas...he can come visit me...lol i wouldn't mind!!

[Cameo]

crazy good idea you guys had with the ribbons! I WANT PRITKIN TOO!!! pretty wrapped with a bow on top :D

[Lannister]

I like the idea of Pritkin in his big coat ... and nothing underneath!

[Cameo]

haha yeah just a pair of hairy legs sticking out strapped in a pair of military boots! Raauuww! ;)

Unless Cassie shaved his legs again, then he'd just look like a streaker having a bad day XD

[Lannister]

LMAO!! What a mental image I have right now!

[Cameo]

Yes! Finally I gave you one! *running in a circle with arms raised victoriously*

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

*enters thread*
*expects intellectual exchange about the philosophical aspects of the story*
*sees: ribbons, shaved legs, streakers*
*shocked face*

Soddom and Gomorrah! :-P

[Lannister]

Leodora, LMAO! Well thank you for that! I keep thinking of those streakers you occasionally get at football matches. Imagine Pritkin running naked up the park with 50,000 supporters cheering him on and the match stewards in hot pursuit LMAO!

Sarah, LMFAO!! Admit it, you're just disappointed that all the naked chat is about Pritkin and not Mircea!!

LMAO! YES! Who'd you think Pritkin would root for? Man U. or Chelsea? (Have in mind I know abslutely NOTHING about football - except Beckham is pretty hot and Messi is a dwarf)

Oh god, I probably know even less than you!! Wasn't Pritkin from Wales originally, back in his Druid days?? (Or am I getting confused?) He would probably support some little team with an unpronounceable name.

Actually, I think Pritkin would turn his nose up at popular sports like football. He'd like something more traditional like Hurling, which Wikipedia tells me they've been playing for 3000 years!! And it's still really popular in Southern Ireland as I found to my cost one time on holiday there!

[Cameo]

hmm interesting.. but yeah you're right, couldn't really see Pritkin as a footballer.. rugby perhaps... certainly not cricket XD

hahahahha couldn't you just see the look on Pritkins face if he had to wear that all-white getup XD

[Hedgehog]

Leodora wrote: "Who'd you think Pritkin would root for? Man U. or Chelsea?.."

I think Pritkin would support Arsenal...because it would remind him of guns.

[Aileen]

LOL I think that he would think that Rugby players complain too much and are wimpy. Same goes for footballers. Though if he loves the Queen like many English so (and even some Americans!!) He may be a Queen's Park Rangers fan!! You never know!! Also...I sadly think that Pritkin is MUCH to "Im so serious" to play sports. Ooh ooh ooh!! Nevermind!! I thought of one!!!! COMPETITIVE SHOOTING!!!! He'd LOVE THAT!!!!!

[Kathy]

You guys crack me up...!!

[Cameo]

I actually think Pritkin would enjoy a good game of Rugby, he gets to physically hurt other guys and gets a workout at the same time.

And OMG how in the world could I forget about the scene between Cassie and Pritkin in the security room Dee pushes them in.. Ohhh when Cassie licks the scars on his back and he tells her no, you sooooo wanna know more about those damn scars!

[Lannister]

Yeah, that scene was quite delicious! Poor Pritkin. When you read it again knowing what we know now about his 'arrangement' with his father, it must have been so difficult for him to keep control.

[Cameo]

Arrangement? Drawing a blank on that one.. If it's from HtM I just started it today, so I'm getting there... again!

Incredible how I read the books different this time then on the first read.. I love it when you get something new from a re-read!

[Lannister]

Ooops! Just ignore everything I said Leodora! I didn't realise that you hadn't read Hunt the Moon. Sorry! Come back when you've finished. :D

[Gypsi Babii]

OOOHH.. Lannister are you spilling the beans .. :)

[Lannister]

LMAO! Yup, I am! I just can't keep my big mouth shut! :D

[Cameo]

No no you can tell me, I've alredy read it once. Just a little fuzzy on the details ;)

Mmmm I wouldn't mind lickin' those scars... Rauw!
nd FYI it's NOT good to be stuck at the cashier on a slow day... ones mind tend to wonder. Caught myself actually drooling a little bit over a very naughty daydream involving Pritkin yesterday! XD Thank God my Boss wasn't in.

[Jax]

**enters thread**

LOL... you guys are all terrible!! :-)
(going back to "gift wrapped" characters... I definitely want Pritkin in more than a ribbon... that way I could savor 'unwrapping' him... hehehe)

Leodora - you're not alone... :-) (just get your boss to read the books... understanding will follow... LOL)

[Lannister]

Well, I was talking about the deal between Rosier and Pritkin, where if Pritkin had sex (and an exchange of energy counted as demon sex), then Pritkin was going back to hell. Though I suppose he was only taking energy to save his life in that little room, which was allowed. But I think Pritkin was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop and would kill Cassie, and I also wonder if Rosier would say that Pritkin had taken more than he needed to save himself therefore he had broken the agreement.

Imagine realising that a) You'd killed the woman you'd come to care for, and b) You've gotta go back to hell and be Daddy's stud because of it! Man, no wonder Pritkin has ISSUES!! :D

I'm still convinced that Pritkin had wings at some point and that's what the scars are. Maybe he had them ripped out, like a fallen angel or something.

PS Loling at your naughty daydreams at work. I may have been guilty of that a time or two as well. You can only take so much of databases and IT problems, before you need to escape. I think it's good for motivation (and my sanity) to take a time-out every day! We need a Pritkin-sponsored break every couple of hours!

[Cameo]

@Jax - I think that might not go over well considering my boss is a man and not really into books. He's more of a football (Soccer) kinda guy.

Ahh that agreement! Totally forgot about that. Damn not having sex for centuries... I'd have issues too! Especially if there were man-candy all around like in Cassies world. So not fair!

I'm a little confused here, doesn't Pritkin only have those scars on one shoulder? not both? 'Cause I'm thinking torn out wings as well, but that doesn't make sense if it's only on the one shoulder.

Yes!!! Pritkin-Power-Pause! I vote AYE!!! That would cheer my workdays up considerably. Mmmmm *Drooling like Homer Simpsons eyeing a donut!*

Oh shoot. Dam you for your logical thinking, Leodora!! :D

I looked up the passage in A Family Affair ...

After a long time, one small hand moved, slowly, tentatively, tracing the feathers falling around her, stroking the black slashes along one huge wing. She didn’t ask where he’d gotten them, didn’t ask why they mimicked the marks on his shoulder. She didn’t ask anything, just kept running those soft fingers through the down, along the spines…
“How long will they last?”
“A few hours,” he said hoarsely. He should tell her, he thought, that the feathers weren’t just a projection. That for the moment, for however long the Irin’s essence held out, they were an innate, physical part of him. And that her fingers stroking along the marks felt just like they once had, moving over his scars.

OK, it definitely says shoulder in the singular. Is it possible that he lost one wing? (I'm trying hard not to think of Pritkin flying in ever-decreasing circles while frantically flapping one arm!!)

It just seems too much of a coincidence that the scar is exactly where the wing is.

This has been my officially sponsored Pritkin break! Over and out!

[Jax]

@ Leodora - My condolences!
At least when I did work in an office, none of my bosses minded me walking around with my nose stuck in a book.... just so long as the work got done... :-)

In fact 2 of those (male) bosses suggested authors, which are now favorites!!
I count myself a VERY lucky lady!!

:-)

[Cameo]

Hmmm nice research Lannister :) Well maybe we can conclude that Rosier only ripped the one wing off - to humiliate and ultimately making sure that he will never fly again. Seems cruel enough for a demonlord XD And it kinda makes sense :) Damn I hope KC will tell us in the next book.

Thanks Jax! I work in a store, so I've only got readingtime during my lunchbreak :( FML you ARE a very lucky lady! May I ask which authors they recommended you? :)

[Aileen]

I feel your pain with the day dreaming...I was sitting in CLASS the other day when this happened!! And it MAYYYY have involved Pritkin...and Mircea...buttttt thankfully no one caught me zoning out to a much happier/more entertaining subject than Death of a Salesman...much rather debate the merits of Karen Chance...she's more interesting anyways.

Leodora . Gurl i too have been known to daydream pritkin sitting in on my desk like a computer.. oh yeah .. the fun me and him could have

[Cameo]

LMAO I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one having dirty DIRTY thoughts of our favorite dirty sexy war mage :D

[Lannister]

Dirty sexy war mage thoughts should always be encouraged!

[Gypsi Babii]

filthy dirty sexy hot war mage.. DREAM DREAMS.. Man i need more work ..

[Aileen]

I love all of you people right now. Just so you know, you make my life happy. Mainly because you make it alright to day dream about a fictional character...or two.

[Gypsi Babii]

@ Aileen , Two or Three. or a whole Harlem of men characters.. Man i am doing it again..

[Lannister]

LOL, why limit your options to just one guy!! I don't want to describe the fantasies I've had about Curran and Marlowe. It would melt my keyboard!! ;)

[Jax]

Leodora wrote: May I ask which authors they recommended you? :) ..."

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, and I think it was Trudi Canavan... I can't remember... the reason it stuck out was because I hardly ever dealt with him at work...
But he has damn good taste in authors! LOL

[Jax]

Sorry, its been years since then, and I now have way too many authors and book favorites to remember who recommended them... :-)

[Jax]

Leodora wrote: "LMAO I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one having dirty DIRTY thoughts of our favorite dirty sexy war mage :D"

Now, Now.... DIRTY implies BAD, and any thoughts that make us feel happy are most definitely NOT bad!! LOL
if not erotic, lets rather go with exotic...

[Lannister]

Well, there's dirty and there's DIRTY, and frankly I don't mind a bit of both! Yes Curran, you can throw me on to the ground in this muddy forest and TAKE ME NOW YOU ANIMAL .... !

Oops sorry, got a little carried away there. I'll be alright in a minute! :D

Should I be a little freaked out that I just had the exact same thought about Pritkin?! XD Mmm all covered in sweat and dirt and me!
