Hmm, plunnie dreams....

ladybug_archiveSomehow I don't think I'll have the fic done for Richard's birthday tomorrow. I'm throwing in a lot of deliberate noir cliches and the plot doesn't seem close to being done yet. Now I'm even considering the cliche of the vengeful hero and have Sergeant Brice get hurt and Steve make the case personal. Then again, I might not do that, since the story has a bit of a lighter nature. But I don't know how long the story will be overall and if I want to break it into several parts for posting, so more than likely, none of it will go up tomorrow, but we'll see.
And earlier I had some trippy dreams. One could be plunnie-inducing. It involved a ballet class that I was apparently taking (nooot happening in real-life, even though I enjoy ballet; the dancers have to keep to a much-too-strict regimen for me). Ginger and Lou were also attending (which would also never happen, although curiously enough, Christopher Cary did attend dance classes with his sisters when they were kids). They had gone missing and the ballet teacher was up in arms.
Apparently he held the classes in his house, a huge four-story mansion. Ginger and Lou were somewhere on a higher floor, having gotten into trouble. Suddenly Ginger fell down some of the stairs, maybe a flight or so, and crashed at the bottom. I don't think he was badly hurt, but he was knocked out, and then Columbo randomly wandered in to examine him.
I could definitely do something with that plot, although Ginger and Lou most certainly would not be taking dance classes. **headdesk.** Maybe the little girl Amanda would be and they'd be investigating weird things happening in the house. And I don't know if I'd have Columbo in there, as I'm not sure I can write for him very well. I've only tried once, and I couldn't ever find a place in the ficlet to insert his classic "One more thing" line.
