I remembered John saying she would only carry naked passengers and marveled at the <em>obvious ridiculousness of such a request<\/em>. But it was her plane and I really wanted off this damn island. I tried to keep my eyes on her face, but it was hard not to <em>contemplate how much hairstyles have changed<\/em> through the years in regards to intimate female grooming.<\/p>\n<p>Xylona peered through the goggles at John and myself and said, &#8220;Wipe all that greasepaint off. I don&#8217;t want it all over my plane.&#8221; She tossed us each a rag. John happily complied, while I kept throwing looks back to the temple hut. I thought about racing back in to Tessa and Jove, <em>breaking up their canoodling<\/em>, and making her get on the plane with us. I&#8217;d been searching for her for so long, it felt like madness to leave her behind now. But she&#8217;d made her choice. For all I knew she was on an official mission. I cleaned the greasepaint off my chest with angry swipes of the rag.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does anyone have refreshments for the flight?&#8221; Aunt Xylona asked.<\/p>\n<p>John glanced around the clearing. &#8220;<em>I can bring a Wild Duck<\/em>&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s called Wild Turkey,&#8221; I corrected. &#8220;But whatever you want to call it, bring at least two bottles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our trio made our naked way to the nearby airstrip. My aunt&#8217;s plane was an old fashioned biplane, with two cockpits. That meant John and I had to squeeze in together in the front seat, and made me miss Tessa all the more. I&#8217;m not sure there would have been room for all three of us, but it would have been fun to try.<\/p>\n<p>The weather since I emerged from the sewer had been <em>misty and foggy, and the rain started<\/em> as we began to taxi down the runway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why can&#8217;t we wear clothes,&#8221; I demanded, as John planted himself in my lap and started fumbling with the seatbelt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where we&#8217;re going we won&#8217;t need roads!&#8221; Xylona cried. &#8220;Or clothes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>bonus points for using them in order<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>obvious ridiculousness of such a request contemplate how much hairstyles have changed breaking up their canoodling I can bring a wild duck misty and foggy and the rain started Tune in next time part 313 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Click Here for Earlier Installments My aunt wore a leather aviators cap, and little else besides the goggles [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319,4],"tags":[356,91,341,403],"class_list":["post-5834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stichomancy-prompts","category-writing-prompts","tag-airplane","tag-bonus-points","tag-clothes","tag-tune-in-next-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5834"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5834\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5846,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5834\/revisions\/5846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
