Strangetown, HWC: The Magic Show

[strangetomato]

"So how did you enjoy the show?"

"It was... what it was."

"Oh, here we go again. What was wrong with it THIS time?"

"Nothing. It was just a magic show. What else is there to say about it?











"Don't tell me you don't like magic! Everyone loves magic, Fran."

"Yes, like pirates. There's just no accounting for taste."

"Oh, please. What's wrong with magic? That stuff was really impressive."




"It's moronic. There's an obvious trick to it all, but people still ooh and ahh like it's amazing."

"It IS amazing."

"Well, they don't have to play it up as some sort of spiritual thing. The power of attraction - what a crock."




"Oh boohooHOO, Franny. Just because someone actually believes in something instead of crying about how God is dead all day..."

"Are you making fun of me?!"

"What do you think?"

"I think you've had too much sugar. It's past your bedtime."

"Yeah, sure. Get snotty with me."

"And for your information, I don't cry about it. I just don't believe in fairytales... or magic."




"Okay, fine. So you didn't like it. But why not just say that instead of insulting everyone that does like it?"

"You asked me for my opinion, Beau. And my opinion is that magic is for -"

"What's that? I didn't catch it."

"Oh, nothing."

"Rubes. You were going to say rubes, weren't you? I can read your lips."




"Oh, can you? Then bring your lips over here and read this."

"You want to kiss a rube?"

"Are you a rube?"

"I'm a lot of things."

"You said it."

"I'm an magician too, you know. I can make your pants disappear."

"We'll see about that."

"Kiss me."






A/N: I worked a magic (no, sorry, illusionist) show tonight at the arts centre and it inspired me to send Frances and Beau to the same show.

Oh no. Fran is like my MOM!!!

She despises magic. Almost as much as she hates monkeys.

*snort*

(I'm with you, Fran. Maybe the illusionists could make all the ninjas and pirates disappear!)

Wow, I never really noticed, but Fran's got a pretty bumpy profile! He makes the greatest faces.

With enough sleep deprivation, anyone can see magical things! :D Or are those hallucinations? *shrug*

I just love Frances and Beau. :) They compliment each other so well!

Heh, Frances thinks magic is like pirates.

This was a cute little snippet. Especially the pants bit. PANTS. (Okay, I haven't had enough sleep recently.)

*SQUEE!!!* I missed these two so much.

And yet again, I think Franny and I would get along quite well. :P

Hehe.. I'm of the same opinion really, about magic shows. I'm a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to things like that - I'm the same with fireworks :P

That was pretty funny and cute, though :D I've got so used to Frankie in lime it feels a little weird seeing him in a normal set-up (Why yes, I did bring him into my rainbow legacy, why do you ask? ^_^), but it was refreshing too.

TeeHee @ "I can make your Pants Dissapear"
:D


Nice little Interlude :)

I'm so disillusioned, now. How can Francis, or so many people commenting, hate magic/illusions?! We all know it's fake, but it's still fun to watch. Like movies. They're actors, and we all know it, but it's still a good thing to experience.

This was great as usual :D

Frances and Beau are adorable :D
