Okay, a little explanation first, this is a collection of drabbles (story tidbits about a hundred words) and thus can be read in any order. This is a contest for a livejoural community.
Title: Colorblind Frog-eaters!
Characters: Sir Percy
Prompt: Red
Word Count: 117
Rating: PG
Summary: The French dastards misinterpret the Scarlet Pimpernel's warning...
Sir Percy fumed. Red Pimpernel insignia, indeed! Can't the demmed frogs tell scarlet from red?
He let out a strangled cry of irritation. What in the demmed hell is a red pimpernel. Forget color recognition, how about the actual names of common flowers?
You can't move around here without hitting a scarlet pimpernel. The scent overwhelms you, should you hazard a stroll outdoors.
"IT'S SCARLET!" Sir Percy cried to the empty space in front of him. "Demmed colorblind frogs, no idea what they're talking about…"
He'd show them. If it took a hundred narrow escapes. Sir Percy was not a man to be trifled with, and the Scarlet Pimpernel would not concede to being mistaken for red!
