If we're going to give it another go, I'd just like to also voice my reservations about this 'cloud' of butterflies. Are they grouped into the correct collective noun there?

A 'billow' of butterflies would be more impressive - clouds just sort sit of around looking like sheep or loom menacingly from afar and I just can't get into the hang of butterflies behaving like that. Moths? Yes - certainly! So if there's going to be a cloud of moths, carry right on; but butterflies, no.

(The double doors are also a bit of a safety concern if you're going to fling them around like that, so I've warned the waiters to use the revolving door instead)

So let me get this straight, what we have now is some coatless bloke sitting near a bottomless pit, but not falling in, surrounded by some toilet paper and a couple of moths?

I'm beginning to wonder what the point is.

It is on the stick we will use to force him into the bottomless pit.

Kitten: Would you like to do the honours?

I think the cloud of butterflies is rather overdoing it now.

I've got a box of pins. (Kitten: pins are a bit like very small pointy sticks made out of metal)

Perhaps a display case of butterflies, rather than a cloud?

Excellent idea and we'll have the tigers stuffed, mounted on wheels and dragged behind. I think the budget will stretch to it. Which reminds me - who was in charge of organising the catering? It seems a little late.

Soory, pies is off - they are being audited over at the treehouse

There was a 'splatter' of moths when I was driving the other night.

These pins intrigue me. I've had some interesting results with Nails, which seem to operate on a similar principle.

The double doors are out too, I'm afraid. The waiters' union have been on the phone and there won't be any catering at all if they can't use it for direct access to the slaughterhouse.

Perhaps the entrance can be made by emerging from the bottomless pit and/or toilet (I'm thinking about the spare rope ladder from the treehouse to facilitate this), and then pulling up on string: the stuffed, wheel mounted animals (can they just be stuffed 'toys' I wonder?) a display case of moths, and possibly some 'Hellraiser' business with pins. Coatless of course.

Well, it certainly works for me.

It may work, yes.

Switchums: Make it happen.

Righto!

~cracks knuckles~

~maniacle laughter emerges from the bottomless pit as a display case of moths are thrown out.~

So bottomless...

~more laughter~

~climbs out with a funny expression on his face and a squashed, stuffed tiger in hand~

So deep...
Infinitely deep...
I saw all the way!

~falls to floor screaming and thrashing, breaking the display case of moths~

Wow. Now THAT was an entrance.
Just continue the screaming and thrashing around while those inclined that way can add their bit with the pointy sticks, nails, pins and what-have-you and I'm sure that it will be a performance which will linger in everyone's memory for a least another post or two until the topic gets changed.

<steps over writhing body and smashed display case to get rope ladder to return it to tree-house: there's almighty brouhaha of an audit going on over there and its absence will probably be noted in triplicate by now>

Sorry everyone!

I am afraid that sapphires should not be worn with green cloak (bolero).

Please replace the sapphires with emeralds or peridots.

Do you think emeralds are wise now that he's turned that nasty blue colour?

Does anybody have a copy of the Script for Scene two? I seem to have dropped mine down the bottomless pit.

I have a similar entrance into my place of employment everyday - kicking and screaming. But unfortunately without the fabulous attire.

I would prefer to see contrasting gemstones - so maybe rubies instead. Also a natty cravat might add a little.

Well I was hoping to get something in gold because it goes ever so well with the green but it was rather last minute.

~stands watching himself thrash, scream and writhe on the floor a little longer~

I'll go see what I can do in the CGI department about touch ups to the outfit.

~climbs into bottomless pit, leaving his screaming and writhing self in the hall, to consult the CGI wizards~

Hmmm.... You should have been able to find peridots if the pit went down far enough....

~yells from bellow~

You're right! Got some!

~replaces sapphires with peridots and pockets the sapphires with an odd remark about cockcroaches~

Sapphire, Topaz, Emerald, Amethyst... these sorts of names all have a nice 'chunky', sparkling sound that conjure up electric, shivery Aladin's Cave sorts of images.

Does anyone else find the word 'peridot' slightly silly or is it just me.
