The next player repeats the previous sentence and must add a B word. “I packed my grandmother’s trunk and in it I put an alligator and a banana.” In turn, each player has to remember what the past players have said and add an item that starts with the next letter of the alphabet.
Can we do this gang?!
Marlo: Sounds good!
Kylee Howells: Hello all! Please elect a representative from the bunch to call for the coin flip to see who will go first.
Marlo: Thierry will call.
Kylee Howells: Thierry, what do you call?
Serrah: Nerissa wants it from our side
Kylee Howells: Nerissa, please also call. First one to say it gets it
Nerissa: TAILS
Kylee Howells: *flipping*
Nerissa: I like tails. *giggle*
Kylee Howells: Of course you do Nerissa. *teehee*
Finn: Look, after what I've bloody just been through in this book, can we not make light of tails?
Thierry: I guess I take the side with the face.
Kylee: Heads is the winner. Marlo's team goes first. What would you pack in Grandma's trunk?
Julie: I packed my grandmother’s trunk and in it I put an airplane.
Kylee Howells: An airplane?
Julie: See, if it’d been in a trunk, it might not have crashed.
Finn: Wee bit of fairy magic could take care of that for ya, luv.
Kylee Howells: If it works, it works lol. Ok team Brantwijn, your turn.
Nerissa: I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put a -- wait a minute...I’m a changeling fairy princess, I don't think I have a grandmother.
Nineva: Tis a game, sweetness, simply choose something.
Nerissa: All right.... I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put an airplane and a…barghest!
Finn: That's a fairy hellhound for those playin' along at home.
Kylee Howells: Thank you for clarifying!
Thierry: I packed my grandmother’s trunk and in it I put a chest protector.
Finn: Oooh, good one...lotsa pretty ladies out there with chests worth protecting.
Nineva: *slaps his shoulder*
Finn: None moreso than you, my love. *innocent grin*
Kylee Howells: Everyone could use a chest protector. Finn, you should know this best!
Kylee Howells: Mr. FBI probably knows this too.
Thierry: I forgot Luke is also wearing one. Good catch!
Finn: According to Ms. Breslin—that'd be our editor—I seem to get stabbed in the bicep more often than the chest. *rubs bicep tenderly*
Kylee Howells: Thierry is a hockey player, he might know a few pieces to protect your arms!
Thierry: Yeah, the chest protector is equipped with arms protector.
Kylee Howells: Perfect Finn! I know those ladies love your arms.
Finn: Might be hittin' ya up after the game then, friend. Okey, I think it's our turn again, is it? 'I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it -- I also dinnae have a grandmother, mind ye, my mother's the Goddess of War and, well.... I wouldn't want to meet HER mother -- but in any case, in the bloody trunk I put an airplane, a barghest, a chest protector, and a—*claps a hand over Nerissa's mouth before she can pipe in with something totally inappropriate*—a dandelion bouquet.
Julie: Flowers? Why? I like mine in a vase.
Finn: Could be useful if we get poisoned. *rubs bicep again* TRUST me...
Kylee Howells: Pretty and useful—just like you!
Finn: *waggles eyebrows and winks*
Kylee Howells: Ok, Marlo's team, take it away with E!
Julie: Luke, it’s your turn.
Luke: You won’t like it, Julie, but I can’t resist. :) I packed my grandmother’s trunk and in it I put an explosive device.
Finn: My kinda man.
Kylee Howells: Well played Luke.
Julie: You’re right. I don’t like things that go boom!
Kylee Howells: I think we might have to stop our game short for the sake of time, but Brantwijn's team please end it strong with F!
Nineva: I packed my grandmother's trunk and in it I put Finn.
Finn:…Wait, wha?
Nerissa: She means the little Finn doll we keep under the pillow when you're off on a job.
Nineva: *primly puts the doll in the trunk*
Finn:…Why didn't I know about this? And why are you giving it up now?
Nineva: Because I have no intention of letting you leave the bed again anytime in the future.
Nerissa: *sneaks the doll out of the trunk when the others aren't looking and replaces it with a fish stick*
Kylee Howells: Good plan ladies. Him in bed is usually in my favorite parts of your books.
Finn, Nerissa, and Nineva: Ours too.
Thierry: Fish stick? What’s a fish stick? The only stick I use is a hockey stick.
Nerissa: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Kylee Howells: That would be fish fried in stick form. You could eat fish sticks before a game. That would be quite yummy. You don’t know what hockey is?
Thierry: if it’s something you eat, I’m good with the fish stick.
Nerissa: I know what hockey is, I just don't know what he meant about that... other thing. *Closes the trunk before anyone can look into it* All packed and ready to go!
Luke: Be careful, it may explode.
Finn: You armed the device?
Luke: Well…I found it in a hospital. Not sure if it’s been disarmed yet.
Finn: *positions himself firmly between his ladies and everyone else*
Luke: That’s why I put it in the trunk.
Finn: Ya know, there's a good point, lad, what exactly were we planning to do with this trunk?
Julie: Send it to Thierry’s grandmother. Thierry is my son in case you wonder, and I never got along with my mother-in-law.
Nerissa: But it's MY grandmother's trunk!
Nineva: You don't have a grandmother, remember, sweetness? We've been over this. You're a fairy princess.
Luke: If it explodes, the Bureau will buy you a new one.
Kylee Howells: Alrighty! Let's send this trunk on its way! Goodnight everyone, and don't forget to duck!
