^ Isn't that genius?? That's what I'm gonna do all the time now when I choose an idea. So if your idea gets picked, you get your name like that!
Anyway, reason why I chose this is cause it was one of the only ideas and cause I liked the idea of a Horror having a crush on Howard [AND it might cross out a mystery kisser, who knows!]. Plus, Josh breaking something by accident is so Josh! Even though it wasn't detailed as hell, I very seriously got some good ideas out of it and I love that, so thanks Smoky!!
I want more ideas next time though, guys! I like reading them. ![]()
Oh yes, for people still unaware of who The Horrors are or what they look like/what they're like, this is them: http://emmadennis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/horrors.jpg [from left to right: Joe, Rhys, Faris, Tom, Josh]
And if you really want to know what they're like, you don't have to but I'd check out a couple of their tour diaries from this post I did several posts back.
And if you honestly can't be arsed to watch [which would be silly because honestly, they're funny, even if you've not heard of them], here's what I think they're like in my own words:
Faris = the dad/older brother
Tom = the uncle
Rhys and Joe = the slightly younger immature brothers
Josh = the youngest brother with ADD
This is all to get a better idea of their characters, really, cause the Boosh fans know about Vince and Howard and what they're like, it makes it easier for them when they're in stories.
Anyhow, onwards:
Boosh/Horrors story Pt. 2
"Yeah, we were the late-comers," the one with the bowl-cut said with a smile.
"He's not been trying to sell you things has he?" he asked, looking at Howard with a smile. "He can't sell things, a small child came in here once, a chocoholic, yeah? Howard couldn't even sell him a chocolate fountain half price."
The others laughed, the one with The Hair laughing loudest and the most hysterically.
As Vince looked at them all from his place on the stairs, he wondered which one it was who had kissed him. It had to be one of them, right? They all had black hair and all wore eyeliner. But, hang on...the tallest one actually had brown hair. But there wasn't much light in the house at the time, could Vince have mistaken it for black? He examined them all carefully, paying special attention to their lips. Bowl-cut looked up at him.
"These capes, are they your stock?" he asked, holding the ends of a couple up from the rack.
"Yeah!" Vince said, beaming and coming down the stairs. "You're into capes, then?"
"Of course," he said simply. "They're great onstage, I can creep about behind the keyboard while I play," he explained, moving his head from side to side and sticking his hands out slightly as if to demonstrate.
Vince nodded his head impressively. "Cool."
"I'm Rhys by the way, I don't think we ever got properly introduced at the party," he said, holding a hand out for Vince to shake. "That's Josh," he said, pointing at the one with the massive hair who had just started a play fight with one of the others, "and Faris, Tom and Joe," he said, gesturing at the tallest one, the quiet one next to him and the one that was fighting Josh.
"Hey," they all nodded and said in sync, freaking Vince out a bit.
Vince nodded back and wondered how he was going to go about asking them if they had kissed him the night before. But how? He didn't want to just blurt it out, especially in front of Howard. Plus, he barely knew them, and what if they actually didn't remember? This was going to be more difficult than Vince thought.
"Fuck off, you're pushing too hard!" Josh laughed, pushing Joe back and watching as he nearly stumbled and fell.
"You dick!" Joe shouted back with a smile, pushing himself into Josh, making Josh fall backwards as he tried to grab onto something to stop him from falling. His hand came into contact with the edge of a table and he pushed down on it, taking it with him as he fell.
"NOOOO!!!" Howard screamed, leaping up from his chair and running towards the table that Josh had knocked over. "Not Stationary Village!" he cried, getting down on his knees and pulling a face of disappointment while he shook his head repetitively with his eyes open as wide as they could go.
"Joe!" Tom shouted.
"What??" Joe replied. "It was Josh that fell on it!" he said, still not taking the situation seriously and trying to hide a smile as Josh looked just like a child: shocked at Howard's reaction and blushing slightly from falling over in front of everyone.
"Sorry," Josh apologised as he looked at Howard and then down at the mess that he had made by accident.
"Come on, I'll help you up," Faris said, putting back another coat that he had gotten out and bending down to help Josh.
"Blu Tack lake....Pencil Town!!" Howard exclaimed. "I knew I should have taken a picture of the layout, or at least marked it on the table!" Howard said, cursing himself for not thinking of the idea before.
"Hey, it's not your fault," Faris said. "Josh does this all the time..."
"It was an accident!" Josh whimpered.
"It's always an accident, Josh," Rhys said with a smile, turning back towards the capes and trying a dark purple one on.
"...and I can help you put it back together if you want," Faris continued.
Howard looked up at Faris from his crumpled heap on the floor and a flash of hope glinted in his eyes. "Really?"
"Yeah," Faris said, smiling softly before he heaved Josh up and shook his head at him, laughing slightly through his nose. "We need to put you on a leash, Joshua."
Josh growled and went towards the counter again to look at the bear.
"Wow," Vince said, looking at Josh and his hair, "you have...amazing hair!"
"Thanks," Josh smiled, baring his teeth and looking genuinly pleased with himself.
"I'm serious, wow," Vince said, walking towards him to get a better look at it in its entirety. "How do you get it like that?"
"Just get some hairspray, mess it about a bit, backcomb, and there you go, works every time," he smiled as if he were reading the explanation from a script embedded in his head.
Meanwhile, Faris was still helping Howard with Stationary Village and picking up each object as if it were foreign to him.
"How does one man need so much stationary?" Faris said, picking up a rubber in the shape of a car and examining it closely before putting it back on the table.
"You've always got to be prepared," Howard said as if he were explaining his motives to a small child brought to him to learn about the wonders of stationary. "What if something goes missing? There's always something to replace it. Lost a pen? You'll never need to ask for a spare again."
Faris nodded as he stared at Howard. "I've never met someone so passionate about stationary," he said, grinning under his fringe as he realised how strange that would have sounded if someone were to walk in and hear that line.
"Well that's me, Howard Moon. ...I'm a passionate man," Howard said, picking up more things from the floor.
"How passionate?" Faris asked, stopping the tidying and turning himself more to Howard.
"What?" Howard asked as he turned towards Faris.
"How passionate?" Faris repeated. "I mean, if you really are as passionate as you say you are, you wouldn't mind public displays of affection, would you?"
"Well, I--"
Faris then took Howard's face in his hands and kissed him full on the lips.
"....And so I only really use Root Booster and...oh my sweet lord," Vince said with his mouth wide open, nudging Josh as his brain took a while to register what he was seeing while he looked at Faris and Howard.
The first thing that Vince thought was: How had Faris ended up on Howard's lips when just now they had only been innocently picking up fallen bits of stationary? The second thing was if Howard could maybe tell him what it felt like so he could compare it to what happened last night as Vince still had no idea.

What happens next?
* Anyone can join in
* Don't write out what you want me to type - that's my job - just give me ideas
* Too much detail is better than a vague answer
* Feedback is welcome, like a Cornetto on a hot summer's day
* Have fun, this isn't a competition!
The idea I pick will be written on the 12th of May, with credit to the person whose idea it was.
