Entry 4
Wow. Been a bit since I wrote . . . naturally. The book got misplaced. Anyhow, new Abhorsen arrived today. Nasty thing, all wet and shivering. And she called me puss. Puss! I told her she was late. And she fainted. Excellent! I haven't had that much of a shock value in, well, a while!
Tried to convince her to take off my collar. She wouldn't. She got all jumpy when the charter servants came in to serve. Nasty things, they always burn the milk. But anyway, it's like her father taught her too well, or not well enough. Ugh. She got all huffy about the Hot Springs. Really! I love them. So long as I'm 10 feet away on a cushion, however.
The sending tried to give her a bath. She seemed quite annoyed, however it was rather amusing. Called the sending a name, who got all huffy and flicked water at my precious pelt! So I hid under the bed until dinner, which was, incidentally, about 4 seconds later.
Girl - I think her name's Mirael? Sabriel? Whatever - Sabriel got all weird at dinner. Wouldn't sit down. I told her to park it, cuz we wouldn't get served otherwise. I'm very glad she came, because I would have still been eating in the kitchen. Sabriel asked me how I knew she was coming. Resisted the urge to say, "Duh!" really loudly. Hurrah! Told her that since I've been here pretty much for forever, I could tell when an Abhorsen dies. She choked and spilled her drink, and asked me what I meant. I said, "Duh! He's not in the 9th gate yet, but he sure is pretty durn dead." She got all sobbity. Whatever. Told her that she was Abhorsen now, because he sent all his pretty bells and swords to her. I don't think she realized that.
Then she did a stupid thing. She tried to go into death. Scratched her - man, did that feel good! - then told her she was being an idiot. If she went into death, dead things could come in the house! No! I did some role modeling and told her that she was only supposed to set the dead to rest, not bring them back. She said that I should fork off. I'm not sure what that means, but I laughed anyway. Told her that I didn't care what happened to some snot-nosed brat who decided to die. Heh.
Then she went all, "Help me, Mogget!" and scratched under my collar. Ah, one of the perks of being a cat. I'll add that to my list.
PROS
1. Tuna
2. Milk . . . never told any of my demon friends that I liked milk . . . have a feeling they'd think I was a wimp . . . or a cat.
3. Being petted / scratched / left out in the sun
Right. Anyhow. Told her she was tragically ignorant, but I don't think she got the insult. Hee! Then told her to eat her fish, cuz we'd talk later. Went down into the Hot Springs to get steam therapy. I need it, after taking care of this brat. Went back to study to find her looking at book of the dead. She was all, "Yeah, I know ALL about this book, yeah, uh-huh." I laughed at her and she threw a book at me. At me!
Asked me for help. I said, "I don't know, why don't you read his diary?" and then she got all huffy when I said I didn't know where it was. Threatened to throw another book at me, so I told her that he had sally- forthed to the capital. And Sabriel acted all shocked when I said there wasn't a king, queen, or kingdom for over 200 years. Duh. Tried to tell her something, but got all tongue-tied. I hate my bloody curse.
Sending came down, told us, Ahem, gestured to us to come to the roof to see something. Or a piece of cheese. Not sure. Mordicant was still there, being evil and whatnot. Enslaving humans, which I think is quite a laugh. Sabriel acted like a girl when I said they'd be here in, oh, about 36 hours. You would not BELIEVE the panicking. At least she didn't scream. Asked me who Ker - ker - ig - Honestly. I can't even write his name. I'll call him Terry! Asked me who Terry was because some dead thing threatened Sabriel and said, I'm paraphrasing, that he was gonna sick Terry on her. Obviously, this is not good.
So I said to start a 3 week long flood. And I quote, "We can't wait that long! My father could be dead!" Major Duh, he's already dead. Told her we had a paperwing. She gave me a blank look. A paperwing! Flying! I waved my arms a couple times to emphasize this. Quote, "Do you always do this to the new Abhorsens?" And I said, only to the not-as-bright ones. Then she tried to strangle me. Damn! This always happens! Told her that if we wanted the flood to work, we had to start it now. So she goes, okay! And traipses down into the basement.
So we get to a block of ice and ask it for a flood. Sabriel was a tad bit skeptical, but hey, who's been here longer? Me! Duh. Told Abhorsen to stop sightseeing the damage being done, because her getting all sobbity is just so aggravating. Asked her if she was going to Belisaere. Yes, she was. Asked her if she knew where it was. Ha! She didn't. Laugh, laugh. Asked me if I had a map. Ooh, that was priceless. I almost fell off the tower. No doubt I would've landed on my feet. So then she picked me up and said, "Okay. You know where it is, right?" Said, yes, am now berating myself. I have to go to Belisaere with her. What have I gotten myself into NOW?

Huzzah! Okay, since it's been a while since Mogget last wrote, assume he got a whole lot better. Time does that you know. Next chappie soon, I promise!

Some notes to reviewers, whom I love, and here! *waves Girl Scout cookies* the cookies I promised!
Akiri: Yes! Let's burn them all!
The Loon: Good. People who don't like Mogget should burn in Hell. I'm glad you love this!
Brook and Summer: I feel no need to make Mogget pee on someone, because I've read your story. ("Wonder if there's a liquor cabinet?" LATER: "Found cabinet!" That's like the best line.)
Rosethorn: Duh. Of course I'm writing more. :-)
Headless Fruit Bat: Assume that since he's a demon in the first chapter, he's kinda whatever about being articulate. Which is the point of this chappie. He's so much better at writing.
Bluedaizy4: Thank you. I understand you weren't fully awake, but thank you.
Farren: Well, it mighta changed a bit, but still trying to make Mogget snarky and sarcastic. Note the 'duh' in every other sentence. Duh.
