Hi Gargoyles!

The four vampires, plus the red-head woman, had been looking outside from their various bedrooms as they craned up to see the chateau; then they rushed up all those stairs and over the roof, as the hot air balloon came closer and closer…

‘Drop us down, please,’ said the two gargoyles who were grinning at the captain, ‘we need to get out precisely… now,’ and they jumped – ‘that was alright, wasn’t it,’ as they each turned around to brush themselves down on the roof of the wonderful chateau – ‘how lovely to see you.’

‘Come on, let’s all go back down and meet in the salon,’ said the Old Vampire, ‘time for lunch.’

Later, Scatty and the two gargoyles declined to play inside, and instead they were back to the roof; Scatty would practise walking on the very high and narrow part, while the two gargoyles took out their phones, ‘look, that’s very good reception here.’

Meanwhile, Joan and Francis perused the library, opening long and old tomes, ‘these are so precious, aren’t they,’ said Francis, ‘look at this, its “The Concise Encyclopaedic Guide to Shakespeare” and of course we both know him, don’t we.’

‘You seemed a little bored,’ said the Old Vampire to the red-head woman, ‘but how about a film?’ as he opened a large screen – ‘this one cracks me every time: ‘Bond, James Bond’ – classic!’ – come sit down; Joan looked over – ‘not this again… oh but later we’ll all watch Casablanca – now that is a good one!

  6. Great job weaving this tale with all those prompts, Chris. I liked how the gargoyles got a hot air balloon to the Chateau. The Concise Encyclopediac guide to Shakespeare cracked me up 🤣

    • Ah ha, not so fast… is this the Raconteuse? Mmm, I don’t think so. At the moment, this is the made up woman, the one who’s running around with the vampires and stuff. You know, I’m not sure where the Raconteuse is, maybe back in the SSC&B? Maybe?

      (yup, two women, very similar, but definitely different)
