A light bulb goes on over KM's head...
In reply to: kenamom, contemplating bitchiness in her spacious office 's message, ""I have to come up with something extra bitchy now"" on 09:38:55 08/09/01 Thu

...and she has the glimmer of a plan...then the light bulb goes off and she loses her idea...then the light bulb goes on again and...then off...and then on...and then KM bellows

"For Heaven's sake IOT stop flipping that bloody switch off and on like that!" She says, "You know how annoying I find that particular habit of yo..."

BAM! The front legs of Mayor Kenamom's chair come crashing down as she vaults forward and gapes at the Tam-topped face peering around the edge of her office door frame.

"IOT!!!!" KM shouts with unsupressed glee as she rushes to embrace the gender bending office assistant, "You're back! Oh, how we have missed you!"

There is a flurry of back pounding and hugging and mutual mutterings of affection (The less said about that the better actually). All traces of Bitchiness are wiped from the mind of Shipperville's illustrious Mayor as she is instantaneously filled with gratitude and all manner of squishy feelings.

"I just couldn't stay away once I read this letter from Rabid." IOT says holding out a sheet of lacy stationary and then pressing it to his/her bosum(or whatever).

"Letter?" KM says losing just a smidgeon of her joie de vive, "What letter?"

IOT holds the letter up and begins to read it aloud:

"Dear IOT," The letter begins, "I know that you are occupied with personal missions at this moment but please find time to consider this urgent matter. Mayor Kenamom is falling apart without your guiding hand to steady her. She has become a stranger to herself. You would hardly recognize the strong-willed and self-sufficient woman of old in the current shell of a leader that she has become. We of Shipperville's elite are helpless to turn her from her self-destructive path. Our one hope is that your return might save her from herself. Please IOT the fate of the Mayor and of Shipperville itself rests on your nattily clad shoulders. If you could find it in your heart to return, just for a short time, maybe all would be set right once again. Sincerely, Rabid, Town Librarian and Concerned Shipper."

"Isn't that just so..." IOT say and overwhelmed with emotion s/he sniffs mightily before continuing, "I really had NO idea that you would be so affected by my leaving..."

"What a load of hogwash!" KM growls ripping the letter from IOT's hand to glare at it, "Do you know what this is?" She says tapping the paper with one finger as she rants, "This is a blatant attempt to sabotage my BITCHINESS. WHY that devious...underhanded...dublicitous...BITC...?"

KM stops herself just short of completing the word and takes several deep steadying breaths as she grips IOT's tartan clad shoulder in steel-like claws.

"Ar-are...uhmm...." IOT says trying to edge away but being held fast, "Uhm...are you okay there Ms. Mayor?"

"FINE!" KM snaps releasing IOT and glaring at him/her with icy determination, all traces of joy and bonhomie have left the building, "I am just fine! And very happy to have you back...NOW get your stenopad and pencil because I need you to take a memo."

Rabid
who was hoping to tip KM to the gentler, kinder side but may have had that plan blow up on me.
