Would that His Words Come True~ for the HOWDOWE Challenge:United Nations Day

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

"And we must look unto the depths of our souls." ~Haile Sellassie

“Would That His Words Come True”


Though it was a sunny afternoon both Napoleon and Illya were glad to make their exit from the overcrowded cemetery, filled with Spanish moss and the smell of musky, aged decay

The last time they had been there, it had been in the dead of night; dealing with a priestess named Mama Luc, a voodoo doll and a demon called Sousson-Pannan. It was an experience neither of them wanted to repeat.*

"That reminds me, you still owe me forty dollars from the last time we were here to rid you of that voodoo curse." *

Napoleon's face flushed with embarrassment, having forgotten about the debt; he quickly looked at his wristwatch, changing the subject.

"Gee will you look at the time? We need to hustle if we're going to make our flight...you never know with New Orleans traffic."

Illya flashed his evasive partner a smirk. "I thought as much."

That Voodoo That You Do So Well

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

A little pre-Halloween fic that ties in with the HOWDOWE Challenge for United Nations day
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Napoleon and Illya have to deal with an unusual complication while on a visit to the ‘Big Easy.’
A pre-saga story.



“That Voodoo that you do so well.”

“Oh  Napoleon it is all superstitious nonsense that preys upon the weak willed and weak minded. It offers them answers to their concerns of family, love, money and happiness as well as their fears...all things that people wish for themselves or to wish away, when in reality they need to work for everything they want.  A voodoo priestess is not going to give them these things as they think she will.”

“You have to admit though that there’s a power there somewhere behind it,” Solo answered his partner’s challenge.” and don’t you dare insinuate that I am weak minded.”

“Perish the thought,” Illya teased his friend. “Please, you have to admit that there is trickery, fooling the mind and the eyes into believing what they want to believe? There is no mystical power.” Illya insisted.

“I suppose some of it is, but you know from our past experiences that somethings can’t just be rationalized away.

“I suppose, “ His stubborn partner finally admitted.

Bandy 4:9

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

"There are ten players and a goalkeeper on each team. The primary rule is that the players other than the goalkeepers may not intentionally touch the ball with their hands or arms during play. Heading the ball will result in five minutes in the sin-bin.

"The what?"

"Sin-bin is penalty box."

"So there are rules to the confusion I'm seeing on the field down there," Napoleon said with a smile. He could tell his surprise had the desired effect of bringing some pleasure to his normally serious partner.

Eyes twinkling, he turned smiling back, "Yes we have rules, Napoleon."
