HODOWE - Groundhog Day - "Two-Two"

[kitty4940.livejournal.com]

This is my first posted fic, and it is a drabble. Here goes!

"Hey, Illya…, know what today is?"

"Thursday.  Despite my recent head injury, I haven’t lost track of time…, yet."

"But do you know the date?"

"Yes…, I can read a calendar. Your point?"

"It’s Two-Two …, like you…, Section II, No. Two."

"And…?"

"I was thinking …"

"You shouldn’t overburden yourself so early in the day."

"'Groundhog' would make a great code name for you."

"Ah …, and shall I to go into hiding for the next six weeks, too?"

"Well…, no …"

"Then, no …"

"Spoilsport…"

"Yes …, it's one of the finer attributes of my beguiling personality."

I wanted to try keep different point of view, not directly related to the holiday, although it was pulled into the 'shadow' discussion. Guess thoughts can drift on a stake out, so the idea of the Groundhog seeing it's shadow was among many that they deal with. I could have gone crazy with the shadow quotes and I found soooo many cool ones!

Yes the realm of possibilities is an interesting place!

Oh, I understand about finding good quotes. I'm working on a non-fiction manuscript, and I'm choosing a small quote per chapter. I could sit and read quotes all day.

There's something about the character of Illya that lends itself and blends well into the world of shadow and fog. There are times, though, when Illya seemed more clearly defined (for a character that was intended to be undefinable) than Napoleon.

Absolutely about Illya. We have David Mc Callum to thank for that as he wanted to keep the character somewhat mysterious. Ah yes Illya Kuryakin, International Man of Mystery.

Yes agree the mysterious IK has become a very full character thanks to canon and fanon, yet as full as his characterization is, he's still ethereal like shadow and fog. Maybe it't the black turtle neck...heheheheee.

There's a wonderful black and white photo of DM that Dennis Hopper made in the 60's - shades of black, with shadows and fog - it is mesmerizing, compelling and ethereal.

No surprise, this 6000 Euro photo from the Hopper collection has been sold.
