A little deception, a lot of perfection.

"A devil in disguise? Not so much, perfection symbolised in a feat of deception, absolutely. This is far beyond what one could understand without probable ability." Rory Greyson | 19 | Xavier Samuel | Part of The-Manic-Heart

Fucking pop culture is getting more and more pathetic…

I'm guessing they're just trying to one-up themselves from vampires a couple years back. The odd sexualization happens no matter how dead the undead thing is, though.

I think it sounds like a zombie musical actually…

I don’t know if it’s the zombie part that makes it so popular…or the fact that it’s a satire. Perhaps a combination of both. Never liked pride and prejudice though, so the addition of the undead does absolutely nothing for me.

[greysonbytrade]

That actually might be entertaining. Zombies dancing and tossing body parts everywhere all while singing some song in their zombie talk. Only, maybe less Michael Jackson and a bit more theatre. 

I personally still think all the men in that story were arseholes, but then again, I suppose that's the same in most of these classic novels. Yet, people everywhere still want their own Mr. Wickham and all that. Rather sad, if my personal opinion is given. 

[thebutcherofstockholm]

hm I don’t know Rory I mean zombies are all the rage these days with the walking dead tv show and all that…. although having said that I have a few zombies as regulars at the butcher shop if you get what I mean lovely  

[greysonbytrade]

Generally speaking, if you give them a simple math problem, they tend to go away. But, zombies in the forms of these television zombies aren't exactly the most scientific of possibilities. 

[greysonbytrade]

And suddenly.. zombies.

Aka, apparently how to make a killing by rewriting an old literature piece. I can't believe how many times I've seen that rewrite of pride and prejudice around and on top buyers shelves just because they added zombies. Maybe it's 'cause of things like the walking dead.

Plots!

Tea Party;

It's around the time in which Greyson holds his oh so casual Tea Party, in which anyone is invited due to the public venue! Since it's so close to Halloween, he's decided to let people come along in costume this time round, and of course, he does enjoy having a little chit chat with his 'guests', no matter who they are. (Can be taken by multiple people, since it's basically a public party)

Times and many silly lightings;

While the floral shop gets repaired, Greyson's had to take up a good portion of his business at a friend's hut. Though the lighting is terrible, it is enough to get his job done. The real problem lies in how he has to keep his business down to just simple cards, as the blackout made security just that much tighter. The new question is, what happens when a client comes around wanting more?

On that little tidbit of news I told Virginia, I'm assuming she told you? If not, well, there's always time to learn. Let's face it, though. It's all based on your instinct on what your answer would be. Instinct plays such a vital part in everything, doesn't it? So many examples to choose from.. Let's say.. When you happen across someone on the street, they're crude, upsetting, just happen to rub you the wrong way. What stops you from killing them? What is to stop you from killing them? It's all instinct. That's the only reason we do or don't do anything at all.

[toddthepawnbroker-deactivated20]

Oh Really now? I’m sure They would just love to hear say that, You’re a loveable pain in our collective arses Rory, I know Caterina adores you but you know that’s your aunty talking with bias and all that loveable shit. You do realise Janie is allergic to longhaired dogs which explains why she comes out in a horrible rash every time she goes past Caterina’s apartment. But don’t tell aunt Janie I said that otherwise she will definitely throttle me to within an inch of my life.

[greysonbytrade]

All the more reason, isn't it? Well, I suppose I could collect an associate's cat and use her to get my way. Though, usually my charms are enough. Oh, wow, how hurt I must feel. I could almost cry hearing I'm a pain in the arse. Then again, most people seem to enjoy having some form of pain shoved into their arse on a regular basis. Hopefully they all use lube, wouldn't want to hear those hospital stories otherwise. Perhaps more martinis? They'll certainly get everyone in a very happy mood. Or make them start crying until they pass out, I've seen that a bit more often than I'd care to have. They certainly need to build up their tolerance. 

[toddthepawnbroker-deactivated20]

Well,that is good you think you do a good public service, I’m sure that they will give you a commendation for it and I’m sure aunt Janie will adore you for it… and curse me for even encouraging you to be that cheeky. And I don’t want to even speculate what Caterina is going to do to me when she finds out… Never mind talking to myself out loud again.

[greysonbytrade]

Please, I'm sure I can convince them to not do much of anything. After all, I am just that lovable. And if not, I'll convince my dog to start licking them. Nobody can say no to a doggy. And if they can... well, they don't count as people and probably need to reevaluate their life. Puppies are too adorable to say no to. Even more adorable than I am. Though, puppies are puppies, most people do call me a snake. Ironic, really. Snakes are known for eating other animals, and the closest I get to that are martinis. They're definitely not something that break my diet. 

[nicole--smith-deactivated201504]

Well, if we minus the pink champagne, I’m in. Christian Grey drinks that shit and I’m definitely not drinking anything that dick does, y’know? Penis cookie would be much more amusing, really. Though I do have a video on my phone of a time when Virginia drank, like, fifteen shots or so and then decided to sing karaoke… yeah, that was pretty damn funny. Never put that on the internet giving she’d literally kill me in my sleep, if even that, and I don’t even think she knows that I have it so yeah.

[greysonbytrade]

Christian Grey, Christian Grey, nope, can't seem to place that name with much other than ruining everything good in life. No worries, there's fancier champagne that's not pink. Though, isn't that the name of that little prick from that book people like too much? Strange, I usually find anyone named Christian to be a heavily stereotypical gay boy, usually annoying instead of charming, yet I hear he's the romantic lead for a woman. I sense some writer might have been a bit prejudice. 

Virginia singing karaoke? Now, this is something I have to see. She's always so serious and charming, can't seem to imagine her singing. Maybe I should slip some alcohol into her drinks, just to enjoy all the amusement. Then again, then I'd have to watch her and keep her safe from all those creeps who would try to take advantage of her sexually. Too bad they didn't burn up in the fires during the black out. They're truly despicable, aren't they? 

[david-aslanov]

Are you sure? Because I think there are people who have other plans and ideas how to make this city look like London again, and I am kind of happy you won’t be in charge.

[greysonbytrade]

And my plans get the people who would interfere out of the way. Think about it, when the common folk are busy with martinis and being too drunk to think about their actions, usually passing out in a ditch somewhere, they're too busy to complain to small businesses trying to rebuild. Granted, they also can't argue with the government trying to fix things, but it's usually not the bright ones who start drinking in the first place. So, not losing much by keeping them from opening their mouths. 

[thebutcherofstockholm]

Aww Bless you Rory, I would love to see if she and Amos my pit bull get a long you know he’s a soft brush with Chaz my latest foster dog from the local animal shelter I foster for and he’s not scared of the five cocktiels in the indoor aviary . Do you have a name for her yet? 

Do not get me started on the animal organs, I’ve had to throw out over two hundred thousand quids worth rotted meat because the blackout took out the power, and no I’m not even feeding it to Amos and Chaz because they will get sick guaranteed and I know there will be a fight with the insurance company because it will be called an “act of god” and act of god my fucking arse and I’ve not made a claim until now, it’s gonna cost me twenty percent more when my renewal comes next year damn it.

[greysonbytrade]

I'm stuck somewhere between Abigail and Violet. Found her eating a bunch of Violet's during the blackout, so that would be a good one, but Abigail is a pretty smart name. At least I think so. 

I didn't actually want to know about all the animal organs, I only asked to be kind. Though, I suppose it would cost a lot, considering how much animal product tends to be. Sometimes it makes me think Mrs. Lovett had the right idea, what with having Sweeney Todd murder people and feed them to other people. I'm not condoning the behaviour or anything, but it would be quite a bit cheaper, and considering people tend to be far less considerate than animals, I can't say anyone loses much of anything. But, again, martinis are still a better deal.

"I think there are several situations in this world that giant cocktails and penis cookies can’t fix, and this very well may be one of them."

"It could actually be counter-productive as seeing most people don’t respond too kindly when they find out you took a pic of them eating said dick cookie." 

[greysonbytrade]

"Well, it might not solve the problem, but it will give plenty of amusement that makes most people forget the problem. In some cases, that can be a start. And getting the public under control might help the government fix the issues caused for them, as well as small business owners who might have lost data. I'm sure you know how it is, when people focus on something else entirely, they don't bug the people who need to keep calm."

[wontbeforgiven-deactivated20150]

Yep and I have some news for you as wll. But, first thing first—all of those people that were on that list you gave me… well, the police will have a fun time trying to figure out where their bodies went. A blackout? Well, that explains why there’s so much chaos… and why Nicole seemed so happy and prideful. Sorry about the flower shop, though. Awwwww, she’s adorable! Do you have name picked out for her yet?

[greysonbytrade]

That certainly will let me sleep better at night. Knowing those arseholes aren't causing any further trouble with anyone else nice enough to help them. Yeah, well, not entirely a bad thing. Wouldn't have happened if they didn't install an electric lock and refused to have candles around for lighting up the place. I could have just picked the lock otherwise. I was thinking of Abigail, or maybe Violet? I did find her eating a bunch of Violets, so it wouldn't be too far of a stretch as a good name. 

[toddthepawnbroker-deactivated20]

Greyson, Seriously a penis cookie? What would your aunt Caterina think of you sucking a cock? Even if it is a cookie? I doubt anything will calm London down after the shit storm of the blackout…

[greysonbytrade]

I didn't say I eat them, I said I get other people drunk and watch them eat them. It's funnier that way. Besides, then nobody tries to kidnap them because they're too weird for the effort. I think I do a good service to the public. 

[greysonbytrade]

What this town needs is a giant cocktail. Maybe a few martinis and some pink champagne. Not the most expensive things, but certainly would calm down the nerves. Plus, if they drink too much, you can have your phone handy for recording them. All too amusing to see their reactions once a video of them downing twenty or a picture of them eating a penis cookie like an actual penis goes viral.

So, I hear everything got crazed for absolutely everyone. Certainly hope the shop of eternal animal organs isn't in too much of a husk. I think we could all use some lovely martinis, the pink kind with the little umbrella. So adorable. Also, I found this adorable little doggy during the black out. I think she's a poodle of some sort, super cute. I'm keeping her.
