Dear Journal,
Yesterday I was up quite early, making my tea and breakfast and when I went upstairs to eat it who should I discover in my flower box but Pip!
Oh! It was good to see him, though the poor thing is hardly more than skin and bones. Pip was very straightforward with me as to his reasons for being there: he had been sent by Mr. Underby to spy. Granted, he told me that after he had asked me a very curious question about my other half, but I’m sure I didn’t give him anything too useful.
Of course, I shall take his warnings to heart (I wonder if the Underbys are quite aware of his little habit of undermining them? I shan’t ever tell.). Though, I cannot see, with Mr. Underby gone, how much trouble that wife of his could possibly be.
Never-the-less, I shall let Kaylee know what Pip has told me. It’ll only make her more nervous, I fear, but it’s better than letting something catch us off-guard.
~S. MacB.

((So are you two still body-switched? I can’t tell–though the tags seem to indicate you’re not.))

((ah, no. We un-switched some time ago, though it was only mentioned in passing, I’m afraid, as that was right about the time the lot of us were dragged away into the RL, that blasted purgatory))

((Ahhh. Well, I hope you can write more about that someday–the details must be fascinating! *grin*))

((It’s in the plans *chuckles* Perhaps I’ll do it as a series of shorts over the summer, I know some folks are quite interested in the full details))

And this is why I do not have a flowerbox! No good can come of them.
((Yes, please do write about the bodyswitch as time allows! That’s one of the RP’s I’ve enjoyed immesently and have been attempting to follow!))

Perhaps if I actually put flowers in the flower boxes they would attract less trouble *catches evil glance from Tenk* um…maybe not.
((Well, if Ceejay and Bookworm demand it, then I must do it :D ))

Among my people we are as close to egalitarian as makes no difference. Indeed many others sometimes find it difficult to discern the genders among us. Shortly after my first arrival in your lands I had the misfortune to encounter a ‘domestic argument’ that had turned violent. The husband or suitor or whatever he claimed, I forget, was beating the woman quite severely and so I intervened.
We’re known for strength, among other things, and I soon dispatched him to unconsciousness only to be assaulted from behind by the woman who was quite incensed that I had “Attacked them.”
My short experience with human women up to then had suggested that they were quite passive and essentially harmless.
I’d not had very much experience at that point and, embarrassing as it is to say, I knew no better.
I have learned better since then.
Don’t ever underestimate the female of the species.
