In seconds I had swapped clothes with him, managing it despite the complexity of my own outfit. Small Dennis still seemed dazed, but he put on the horse&#8217;s head and lined up for me to join on behind him. Just in time, because Titania blundered out of the bathroom just then.<\/p>\n<p>And only then, when it was too late, did I discover that Small Dennis wasn&#8217;t wearing pants. I&#8217;ll happily stick my nose where it doesn&#8217;t belong, but usually <em>I draw the line at butt cracks<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happened to him?&#8221; I heard the Crystal Clown inquire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was so shocking, I could <em>never say it to your face<\/em>,&#8221; Small Dennis replied. I wanted to thank him for not blowing my cover, but couldn&#8217;t risk being heard. He seemed to understand, because he reached back inside the horse costume and I <em>shook the appendage<\/em> gratefully.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll just have to bring him along,&#8221; she said. Suddenly a weight fell across my back as she hefted Big Dennis onto the space behind our saddle. Then she mounted up, and I had to wonder if she&#8217;d put any clothes on first or if she was pulling a full-on Godiva routine aboard an airship. We cantered out into the hallway, beast and rider <em>wedded in a three-way ceremony<\/em> and carrying excess baggage that might wake up at any moment and give me away.<\/p>\n<p>It was not the first three-way wedding ceremony I&#8217;d taken part in, <em>which feels sinister<\/em> to think about, but fortunately my mind was busy thinking about how to accidentally on purpose let Big Dennis slide off this horse&#8217;s rump.<\/p>\n<p>bonus points for using them in order<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I draw the line at butt cracks never say it to your face shook the appendage wedded in a three-way ceremony which feels sinister Tune in next time part 852 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Click Here for Earlier Installments &#8220;How about being the front of the horse?&#8221; I asked Small Dennis. &#8220;Would that be something fun?&#8221;\u00a0He simply [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319,4],"tags":[91,403],"class_list":["post-9755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stichomancy-prompts","category-writing-prompts","tag-bonus-points","tag-tune-in-next-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9755","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9755"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9759,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9755\/revisions\/9759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
