[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Holding Val's hand, April slinked down the sidewalk, which was quite a trick in 6-inch high heels and taking sips of wine from her bottle. Behind her a tired, but weirdly glowing with flickering lights, cat followed morosely behind her. "Quite a wind! But then houses tend to fall down when I leave, one way or another." She grinned at Val. Val rolled her eyes. She started to retort, but remembered in time the pistol in April's purse. A bit tentatively, she asked "shoot anyone lately?" April, slurring slightly, said "Only that robber trying to grab Kitty," looking back at the grim cat. Val, suspicious, said, "Why did you ask me to meet you at that house? There's blood everywhere!" "Oh that. The CIA shot Biff accidentally. They were following the Chinese spy who was after the memory stick with the plans for the satellite laser. Fox grabbed the stick and I went out the window." Val stopped walking and slowly pulled her hand away.

Government
Goose
Gamble
Grandiosity
Grappling

[Val]

April meowed to Val " I'm not "tired" and I've got this "bottle" and you've got your "high heels" so let's throw ourselves to the "wind" and see where we end up --hic!".

laughed
scurried
dark
pensive
hilarity

[T]

Val "laughed" at the "hilarity" of the once-missing-now-returned April, who "scurried" away into the "dark" in a "pensive" mood after being away for awhile and forgetting what a bunch of wackies there are posting to the GR games.

ribald
riposte
ridiculous
riddle
risque

[Val]

Meanwhile, the entire story told by April :

"Holding Val's hand, April slinked down the sidewalk, which was quite a trick in 6-inch high heels and taking sips of wine from her bottle. Behind her a tired, but weirdly glowing with flickering lights, cat followed morosely behind her. "Quite a wind! But then houses tend to fall down when I leave, one way or another." She grinned at Val. Val rolled her eyes. She started to retort, but remembered in time the pistol in April's purse. A bit tentatively, she asked "shoot anyone lately?" April, slurring slightly, said "Only that robber trying to grab Kitty," looking back at the grim cat. Val, suspicious, said, "Why did you ask me to meet you at that house? There's blood everywhere!" "Oh that. The CIA shot Biff accidentally. They were following the Chinese spy who was after the memory stick with the plans for the satellite laser. Fox grabbed the stick and I went out the window." Val stopped walking and slowly pulled her hand away"

-- turned out to be a "ridiculous" "riddle". What would Val do with the "risque" April and her "ribald" "ripostes"? Was crazy cat lady April telling the truth or had her secret past messed up her brain too much???

help
grocery
luck
society
freak

[T]

With "help" from the neighborhood "grocery" and a tad of "luck", we learn that our gal April who meows and scratches a lot was in fact a well known "society" "freak", outspoken in her yowling and not at all passive.

cough medicine
catastrophic
catatonic
catapult
cartilage

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Hacking convulsively away, April politely covered her mouth. Val reached into her purse and handed April a bottle of cough medicine. "Thanks," April hoarsely said. Tipping the bottle, she gulped it all down. "Holy cow!" exclaimed Val. "That will make you catatonic! This is catastrophic!" The morose cat following them sprang as if a catapult had thrown her into the air. "Meow!" she said. April caught her deftly, as if practiced. "She thinks it's whiskey, her favorite. Ow, I think I sprained cartilage catching her." April said. The cat sniffed the empty bottle.

Doggedly
Doghouse
Dogleg
Dogma
Dogwood

[T]

After inhaling the last vaporous dregs "doggedly", the cat then exhibited decidedly doggy behaviors as if whole-heartedly immersing herself in doggy "domga": leaping from April's arms to race down the "dogleg" in the path towards the "doghouse", stopping only to pee on the "dogwood" tree in boy doggy fashion, which wasn't easy for a 4-legged beastie who is genetically a female feline....

murderous
mortified
mangled
masticated
morose

[Val]

Val realizing that April had a dedicated ally in the cat and stifling her "murderous" imaginings of a "mangled" morose" feline lying at her feet, cleared her throat, picked up the cat and happy that April was not "mortified" by her drunkness nor morose, led the three of them into an adjacent alley where a car was awaiting them.

[Cam]

Val must have fallen asleep again...she forgot to add the five words. (Words from April's message #1101 were not added into the story).

[Cam]

It must have been "Goose" liquor that the cat had been drinking. As usual, the "grandiosity" of the "government" made the decision to build a free-way where the demolished houses had been. "Grappling" the cat in hand, April took off her high heels and started running towards the car. She knew it was a "gamble" getting into a car with scar face driving.

[T]

< ok, cam, your turn for 5 more words.... lol, we're terrible at this game, aren't we.... >

[S.M.]

Jeopardy song in the background while we wait.

[Val]

Scar Face, looking hot with his scar on his face, greeted April and her cat by burping. April burped back and the cat peed on the seat. It was a great night for a caper.

cookie
money
hope
gun
threat

[T]

Taking the "money" from the "cookie" jar, April, Scarface & the peeing cat had "hope" that the gummy candy "gun" would look real enough to pose a viable "threat" to their lucky victim(s).

Sporty
Sporadic
Sprinkle
Special
Scotch

< we have such short attention spans! >

[Cam]

Sorry...head was foggy...not enough coffee that day.

"Sporadic" heavy rain began to "sprinkle" on Scar Face's "special" "scotch" and the candy gun. The cat was starving and began chewing the gummy candy "gun". Instead of being black, the gun turned a pale "sporty" gray.

fur
balls
stink
ran
bottle

[T]

The sugar rush called the cat "fur" "balls" to be regurgitated and the "stink" of wet fur balls had Scarface in serious need of a "bottle", so off he "ran" on a serious tear.

Tinkle
Tangle
Torpid
Tarantula
Timid

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

The tinkle of April's laugh put Scarface in a mood. Realizing the tangle of a torpid romance with this peculiar female who insisted on a glowing calico cat spewing hair balls, attractively colored as they might be, as a treasured companion, made him recall the tarantula of a wife waiting at home for him. Suddenly timid, he wondered if he made a mistake. On the other hand, she claimed to be behind the house demolitions he knew were linked to the CIA, FBI and mysterious blood stains, plus a dangerous character called Fox. A Biff had clued him into some of this while being treated for a gun wound in a secret room of his nightclub. They were parked in front of the club now. Dare he whisk her past the lined up customers and the bouncer, past the dance floor and up the stairs to the secret casino? Or should he lead her to the basement where even deeper dark secrets were - the alien space ship? The cat seemed to smile. He made up his mind.

Foreboding
Forehead
Forensic
Foozled
Forbidden

[Val]

Scarface, also called Scare Face, Careless Face, and Scar, looked at April and decided he could stand a little cat fur balls and so without thinking about it, opened the door of the car and escorted April into the house and up to the "forbidden" casino. If he was going to pull off this caper he needed to win big. He kissed April on the "forehead" and rolled the dice. Everyone at the table started clapping as they all won, except the house manager who looked at Scare Face with some "forboding" as he had heard about his luck in the past. They could never prove he cheated. Even though they used every "forensic" trick they knew, they always "foozled" in the end.

tuxedo
wine
thermometer
diamond
stuck

[S.M.]

Winning big, April wanted Scarface to get her a "diamond" and an expensive bottle of "wine". She also wanted to go to the fanciest restaurant in town but for that April knew he would need a "tuxedo".
They jumped in his new Corvette and discovered his "thermometer" was "stuck" and it was overheating.

Extra
Rooster
Other
Granite
Whittle

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

April and Scarface looked at each other sadly. "Well, my friend, I think I'll leave you to fixing up this otherwise lovely car. Other places to go, and all that..." She smiled while picking up the cat and getting out of the Corvette. Taking out her cellphone, she decided to whittle down her choices of rescue by calling only men with extra wide shoulders. Scarface's eyes turned granite. "If you call that rooster Fox, I'll shoot him." he grated. April's eyes went wide.

Enmity
Entertainment
Engorge
Enlarge
Enthrall

[Cam]

The "enmity" among the cat, April and Scarface became more evident as the night rolled on. After Scarface saw his car on fire, one of his body parts started to "engorge". April was "enthralled" by the mysterious stranger with the extra wide shoulders. That was enough "entertainment" for the night!

sneakers
water
happy
sunrise
money

[S.M.]

As "water" was sprayed on the burning car, the "sunrise" brightened up the sky. Everyone was "happy" that Scarface hadn't left all his "money" in the glove compartment, but his new $500 "sneakers" were in the trunk.


Energy
Jaguar
Mutual
Brother
Bathroom

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

April sighed. "Oh, brother!" She pulled out her cell and began talking with energy. Like a jaguar, the cat jumped onto her shoulder. They exchanged an apparent mutual look, and they began walking away from the bereft Scarface. "Where are you going?" he called. "Looking for a bathroom," April carelessly replied. "I think there was one a few miles back. Don't worry. I'm into marathons." She took off her red heels began sprinting down the road. The cat seemed to grin.

Clangor
Rendezvous
Scabrous
Sisyphean
Gobbet

[Val]

"Good thing I've brought my pocket dictionary" the cat purred, looking up gobbet. "oooh, joy -- it is : A piece or chunk, especially of raw meat!! I have to get me one of those. Maybe I can talk April into a "rendezvous" at the pub down the street, I hear a "clangor" emanating from there and possibly they'll have a gobbet for me."
April, unaware of the cat's wishes, turned the other way and went into a "scabrous" hole in the wall. "Sir" she said to the clerk, "do you have any duck food?". The clerk stared at her with hatred, knowing the "sisyphean" game.


turnabout
martini
kiss
danger
dynamite

[S.M.]

"Turnabout" is fair play. He gave her a "kiss" and a "martini" and told her to get out of the pub ASAP.
Just then she recognized the "danger" as she saw the "dynamite" bomb.



Halftime
China
Offensive
Custom
Dysfunction

[Cam]

With all the excitement during "halftime", the cat and April ran from the pub leaving a trail of broken "china" dishes behind. There wasn't any "custom" to follow as they were all "dysfunctional" anyway. The bomb emitted a horrible "offensive" odor throughout the town.

rescue
thought
anger
fire
car

[T]

Val to the "rescue", the mere "thought" of April & Cat's "car" catching on "fire" brought waves of "anger" to our gal Val's good heart.

trip
trap
traipse
trail
trigger

[S.M.]

Val and April had no choice but to "traipse" through the overgrown "trail" to continue the "trip". The cat started rubbing against a strange looking branch. "Look out! I think that is a "trigger" for some sort of "trap", yelled Val.

Pleasure
Plastic
Playoff
Purpose
Pointless

[T]

It was "pointless" to attempt to dissuade Cat of it's "pleasure", "plastic" tree branch or not it served its "purpose" in the "playoff" of humans vs Cat's determination.

Spindle
Spinnaker
Spurn
Sporadic
Spumoni

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

A huge man wearing a hockey face mask (oddly colored in a design reminiscent of Spumoni ice cream rushed out of the forest. "You look delicious!" slurred April, pitching forward slightly. Val gulped. "You need to spurn this one, I think." she advised. The masked man, holding a chainsaw, made sporadic moves, slowly moving towards them. "Meow?" Said Cat. April picked up the calico kitty. Val grabbed April. "We need to run as if a Spinnaker is blowing us away!" April hiccuped. "Sorry. I feel more like a spindle."

Cost-benefit
Inventory
Liability
Borrow
Patent

[Val]

Val, remembering her MBA training decided to evaluate the "cost-benefit" of taking out the masked man. ""The"" Company that they worked for wouldn't like it if they over-spent and wasted ammunition. "Cheap Bastards" she murmured under her breath. I should take out a "patent" on my method of escaping harm. The "liability" might be high but if I "borrow" from my brother's CIA experience I should come out okay. So taking "inventory", one sorry cat, April her co-conspirator, and only her high heels she flipped a dip and spun her heels into the disgusting man and they were able to dash away, kitty meowing to the tune of the theme for CatWoman.

[T]

< val was so excited, she forgot the next 5 words...but that's okay with me cuz y'all have got so many words in your entries that i'm mightily intimidated at the moment! >

[Val]

oops, here they come April.

subway
cage
successful
love
recognition

[S.M.]

They ran for the "subway", avoided the ticket "cage" and jumped the turnstile. April's "recognition" of the subway stops made their escape "successful". "Love" when a plan comes together.


Unused
Bushel
Instead
Team
Hospital

[T]

Tucked under the subway bench was an "unused" "bushel" of medical marijuana, so "instead" of rushing slurry April to the "hospital", they thought a "team" effort of judicious distribution of the bounty might be more cosmically more worthwhile.

Fandango
Frango
Furry
Flippant
Filbert

[S.M.]

They discovered that good marijuana tasted a lot like a "Frango". It also brought out the "flippant" side of Val. She decided it would be better to do the "Fandango" and wear a "furry" hat with a "filbert" displayed on her chest than it was to get April to the hospital.

White
Walnut
Watery
Wishbone
West

[Carmen]

While sitting on my front porch, eating a "walnut" and looking off to the "west", something caught my eye. There, through the "watery" haze coming off the pavement, came a man with a "wishbone" on his head. Well, that's something you don't see everyday, I thought to myself. "Hey mister", I yelled. I gotta ask...what's with the wishbone on your head? He stood there for a second, looking at me like I was the nutty one and said, " I don't have a wishbone on my head. That's my pet bird. His names "White", ya know, cause he's white. Get it!?)" Oookay, I said. He smiled, smacked me in the back, causing me to nearly choke on my walnut and went in his merry way.


Magician
Lizard
Terror
Childhood
Vision

[Val]

Val, after doing her infamous Mae" West" imitation, talked April into drinking a "watery" concoction that consisted of stewed "walnut" shells and a chicken "wishbone". Obediently, April downed the cocktail and immediately turned "white" as honky in Harlem.


downright
indignant
flirting
desperate
bandito

[Val]

oooohhhhhhh, double trouble!

[T]

So, T, in her infinite masochism, attempted to merge the two parties: the "magician" and "lizard" started "flirting", much to Val's "indignant" "terror" as she'd had a "childhood" "vision" of a "bandito" that looked like a magical gila monster who was "downright" "desperate" to get to know her better, if ya get my drift....

whippoorwill (how do you spell that?)
willow
wanton
wonton
whiskey

[Carmen]

Ooo!!! Impressive!! ( just had to say that)

Carry on!! :D

[Val]

The mary-jane they'd been smoking made Val mistake Whitey for a "wonton". Thankfully, April sobered up enough to stop Val from ingesting the bird. She cut a "willow" switch and with a "wanton" scream she attacked Val like a banshee. Val laughed and offered the lizard a drink of her "whiskey". "April, I won't eat the little "whipporwill" now that I've got my friend Larry the Lizard to entertain me" she said kissing Larry on his lizard lips.


silly
fair
double
profound
destiny

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

O _ o

April wanted a rest because her head was feeling like a willow tree in a wind, so she sat down. Unfortunately, it was not on the bench. Val screamed, "Get off me!", thinking a Gila monster was in her lap trying to have its way with her and it was not a good thing. April, confused at Val's slaps, realized she was beginning to feel a bit wanton at the sudden S and M (she wasn't seeing good) began to whoop like a whippoorwill. T, shocked at the turn this tale was taking, said "No more whiskey for you!" Carmen, who perhaps feeling a little amazed by the scene she inadvertently contributed to with double trouble, offered "Wonton soup is available over there, I think". The vendor who was selling soup, cringed and began to pack up his cart.

Weeping
Epicenter
Smoldering
Crackdown
Curfew

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Oops. Poor Val. Should I delete mine? Nah. T can fix it! ; D

Or I can delete.

[T]

< FREEZE! Give me 15 more minutes to meld the two again! LOL >

[T]

Our "silly" group, wanting to be "profound", yet "smoldering" in their "destiny" with their new soulmates, decided that "weeping" would not be "fair" to capture the hearts (literally) of their new friends. And so our "double" trouble duo of Val & April decided to make Lizard and Magicke the "epicenter" of their lives, while new mate Carmen attempted to "crackdown" on the 8pm "curfew" that Larry Lizard was under.

Stressed
Strained
Strong
String
Stagnant

< heyyyyyyy i worked so hard on that entry! >

Damn!! I bow to your greatness!!
