So,it's my first fanfic,sorry if it sucks.
I don't own Mr. Tall,or any other characters in the DSS...YET...
Mr. Tall sat shut up in his trailer for the 4th day on end.
"Damned, short, quirky father." He thought a slight hint of anger in his usually calm thoughts. He found himself twirling a favorite pen of his in his grungy palm; it was a soothing dark turquoise color, he abruptly stopped himself thinking how his father does the same thing with his trademark heart-shaped watch.
He limped over to his mirror, to see what damage had been done. His eyes were an unusual gray, as if the life had been sucked from them by his father's most recent visit. He had dark lines under his eyes, a side affect from the sleepless nights. 4 day old stubble covered his chin, and his usual dark combed hair was a tame-less mop. He groaned. It would take hours to make himself look decent. The 1st smile in days lingered over his lips for he remembered what poor Larten would say if he heard that last thought. He always teased him when he said something about his appearance, but Larten was right, he did focus on his image quite much, maybe too much.
"No matter." He said these words aloud to make sure his voice worked properly.
He ambled over to his dresser and took out a suit with a vibrant green button-up shirt to go underneath it.
"Which tie shall I wear?" He said this louder now, while turning to a small cage hanging in the corner of the room.
"Angie. Angie." Attempting to lull the creature from the cage.
"Come on you stupid bird!" He exclaimed angrily grasping his pen and thrusting it at the cage.
The bird was a present from Truska, a performer in his circus. He loathed the bird with a passion, but in a way it was his most treasured possession. He chuckledin rememberance of how he came to get the bird.
It was his...213th birthday?And the day before he was speaking with Truska and another performer,Rahmus Twobellies,about how annoying birds were,especially the exotic ones.Truska being a foriegner didn't understand english well,and got confused.She ended up scaling the local zoo's aviary and snatching a yellow tailed mackaw for his birthday.He was too polite to turn her down, after all she went through to get a hold of it.So he took the bird and regretted it ever since.
Brushing the thought away he went back to his tie drawer and pulled out a black tie.
"Hmmm...A tad morose.Eh,oh well." He mumbled,debating wheather it was suitable,considering the occaision.
After his chin was cleanly shaven and his hair was unmangled he put on his suit and left the comfort zone of his trialer;that too he would regret.
Hmmm...that wasn't so smooth as I had planned...oh well, R&R please!!
