The Best Lemon Pie Ever

14 April 2015

00:45 Serilde trots through the market with a bag on one back. The brown formel with a cream colored face had everything she needed for her sweet treat she was making except for the most important part. How could one make a lemon custard pie without some lemons? Finally spotting a stand in the bustling market place she heads over to it and smiles at the green maned yellow pony at the stand, waving a talon. "I'd like about 10 of your finest lemons miss..."

00:45 < Serilde> (I've never been called amazing before >.< )

00:46 < LemonDrop> (how long did you have that prepared for :u)

00:46 < Serilde> (I typed it up when I tried to get you to RP, remember? I just grabbed it from the backlog)

00:46 < LemonDrop> (ooh)

00:47 < Serilde> (Seems it was march 28th)

00:50 LemonDrop looks down and carefully picks out ten lemons out of the stand in front of her, bringing each one up to make sure it met her quality standards before placing them aside for her customer. "Of course! What are you making might I ask" she says happily as she continues to select lemons for him.

00:51 < LemonDrop> (hope ya dont mind if I am a bit slow at typing response stuff, I tend to sit there and think about it for a bit)

00:53 Serilde takes a deep breath of the mare's scent, noting that she smelled just as her produce, a delicious citrusy scent. As she picks out the lemons, Serilde tosses the ones set aside into her bag and smiles with the tips of her beaks. "Oh, Just making a lemon marengue pie, and I do need the most important ingredient, which you've got right here."

00:53 < Serilde> (For her btw)

00:56 LemonDrop giggles and places the final lemon down, looking back up to him afterwards "Oh that sounds wonderful! Lemons are my favorite fruit if you havent noticed, and I think they make the best desserts! I'm happy to provide you with them, but of course that'll be two bits each. Wont find quality lemons like this anywhere else!"

00:56 < Serilde> (Serilde's a girl xP)

00:56 < LemonDrop> (oh rly)

00:57 < LemonDrop> (yeah I recall this, ignore that)

00:57 < LemonDrop> (I missed the s key about 50 times lets say)

00:59 Serilde giggles at the mare's comments and nods at her. "Ya, I kind of figured they were~ You even look and smell like a lemon. I just hope you dont have a sour personality, miss...?" She jests, counting out the 20 bits that she owed and setting them down on the table.

01:03 LemonDrop stares down at the tiny gold coins, countng them up in her head to make sure the griffon paid the correct amount before brushing them off the counter into a box of more coins "Oh no not at all! I'm quite sweet actually, but people think ask me that all the time hehe. Thany you for buying from me though, and have a nice day" she waves at the griffon, expecting her to move on her way afterwards

01:08 Serilde notices a placard with the filly's name, Lemon Drop, on the stand and becomes curious if her flavor is like lemons just like everything else about her. She might be the perfect thing to top off the pie. Serilde turns away from the stand and 'accidentally' bumps it, sending a bunch of lemons rolling off into the dirt. The griffon stops in her tracks and blushes, leaning down to pick some up, looking especially for an opportunity to 'mistakenly' grab a boof in her beak to taste it.

01:14 LemonDrop eeps assome of her shiny lemons roll off the stand and fall onto the ground, getting covered with dust in the process. She rushes over and kneels down, lifting one up and holding it up to her head to examine it "Oh dear..I'm going to have to wash these all again..I-Its okay though, accidents happen! You are free to leave miss if you want, I can clean these up" she begins to pick each lemon up, placing them on her counter to clean later

01:17 Serilde shakes her head and continues to pick up the lemons. "No really its my fault miss Lemon Drop, let me help you get everything picked up. Serilde uses her claws and beak to pick up one wave of lemons, depositing them onto the stand, and then in her second wave, grabs one in each of her claws, but 'accidentally' grabs a hoof in her beak and licks it over, trying to extract the flavors before pulling away with another fake blush. Soon, the pair gets all the knocked over fruit back on the stand. "Well...you should peel a lemon before eating it anyways right? THey'll be fine..."

01:22 LemonDrop continues to pick the lemons up one at a time, letting the griffon help her before suddenly gasping, feeling a slight wetness on one of her hooves, most likely picking up her sugary sweet yet slightly sour lemony flavor spread throughout her body. "O-oh um I think you.." she stands there motionless, trying to figure out what just happened, or perhaps why it happened. "Y-Yeah..I guess, but my lemons have to be the best quality!"

01:27 Serilde flashes her a smile, the ends of her beak upturned and then turns to walk away from the stand once more, this time being more careful not to knock it. As she walks on, the formel smacks her beak and licks it, contemplating the flavors of the mare. Serilde heads home and gets the pie all baked and prepared. Outside it was begining to turn to evening and as she puls the pie out, she sticks a talon into it and decides it's missing something. That tasty little pony hung well in her mind. The griffon decides that she must have her and sets back out to the stand eager to catch the pony as she's traveling home and ambush her.

01:31 LemonDrop goes through the day, making more sales and finally cleaning up all the lemons that were dropped on the ground. As the sun begins to set, she closes up her stand, making sure to lock her precious lemons safely so nopony steals them in the night and heads off with her box of bits, walking torwards her home near the other side of the town as it begins to get darker.

01:34 Serilde catches up to the mare and waits for her to duck into an alley shortcut before coming up right behind her. "Oh...Hey Lemon Drop! I didnt expect to see you here." SHe begins, getting up close to her and resting a claw on her back. "Something was off about those lemons, the pie came out, but it didnt seem quite right."

01:41 LemonDrop jumps a bit as the griffon pops out suddenly behind her, looking back to see her previous customer behind her "O-Oh its you! You gave me quite a scare there hehe.." she becomes a bit more uneasy as the griffon lays her talons on her back, feeling their sharp ends on her soft body "Oh..that cant be right..my lemons are always the most carefully selected.."

01:45 Serilde wraps a claw around the pony's waste and shakes her head. "Well...you see, the lemons might be fine, but you see, I wanted the best lemons you had, and you certainly didnt sell them to me. You see, I have the best lemon at your stand right here~" The griffon leans down and tives the mare a lock lick up the small of her back, murring at her flavor.

01:46 < LemonDrop> (waste :p)

01:47 < Serilde> (Gah s/waste/waist)

01:51 LemonDrop squirms a bit as she holds on to her, obviously uncomfortable with what the griffon was doing, she just wanted to get home "Nonsense! I sold you the best lemons I had..I even looked at each o-on.." she gets cut off as the griffon licks across her back, shuddering in place from the feeling of the wet surface against her lemony coat "H-hey stop that!"

01:54 Serilde pulls her tighter against her chest as the mare begins to squirm, tasting the sweet lemony flavors as they wash over her tongue. "Not quite true, you tasty little pony. I think you might have left out the best lemon in your entire stash right here~" The griffon pokes her in the head between the ears with another claw and then combs it roughly through the mare's mane.

01:59 LemonDrop stopped squriming after feeling the griffon's leg wrap around her tighter, worried about the claws digging into her soft belly if she squeezed any tighter, making a slight whimper "L-let me go..t-tasty? What do you mean..I'm not a fruit.." she turns her head away as she is poked, trying to pull herself forwards with her forelegs

02:07 Serilde shakes her head pulls a little vial out of her pouch, pressing it to the lips of the mare and forcing her lips open to make her drink it. "Let you go? Just drink this and maybe I'll consider letting you leave. Its just, you know I really hate being cheated out of something I bought. You didnt give me the best afterall." The potion would cause the mare to begin to rapidly grow smaller soon after she drank it, bringing the pony down to about the size of a squirrel.

02:12 LemonDrop tries to resist drinking whatever strange liquid the griffion was trying to force her to drink, attempting to keep her lips shut but to not much avail as the griffion simply forces them open aswell. Hearing the griffon's offer, she decides to go along with it, perhaps she did make a mistake in her lemon selection and this is what she deserves. She quickly sucks down the contents of the small vial, shortly after starting to feel her body change.

02:16 Serilde smirks and gives a victorious laugh as the pony begins to shrink down to a much more managable size. keeping a claw on her, she forms a cage against the ground as she steadily shrinks down. The formel leans down to the ground and stares through the bars witha wicked grin. "Ah, good, now you're about the same scale of a lemon too~ Everything about you is lemony."

02:19 LemonDrop suddenly notices she is shrinking, and fast too. Before she knew it she was under the claw of the griffion, trying to squeeze her way out between the gaps, noticing her box of money on the ground next to where she was once standing "H-Hey! Lemme out..I need to get home..and my money! This isnt very nice of you.."

02:22 Serilde shakes her head and leans forward, lifting her claw just enough to snatch the pony up in her beak, and bites down to keep her held firm, digging the edges of the hard beak into her flesh. Still, Serilde was careful not to bite down hard enough on the mare to injure her as she takes flight back home. With such a tiny pony in her beak and as late as it is, nopony is any wiser to the foalnapping that had just taken place.

02:23 < LemonDrop> (shes not a young pone ya know)

02:23 < Serilde> (I know, but its also called kidnapping)

02:24 < LemonDrop> (heh true)

02:24 < Serilde> (Foal seemed the appropriate substitute)

02:27 LemonDrop yells out and squirms her legs as she is picked up in her beak, feeling its sharp edges push against her soft body, her voice however reduced only to a slight squeak barely audible from too far away. As the griffion took flight, she reached back, seeing her hard earned money get further and further away from her "Nooo you cant leave that..."

02:31 Serilde shakes her head as she soars through the air making her way back to the house as quickly as possible. She rolls here eyes at LemonDrop's cry's figuring she wouldnt need it where she's going anyways, though couldnt very well respond with a pony in her mouth. After a little bit more flying the griffon arrives home and pops open the door, letting the sweet smell of the pie rise up to both of their nostrils.

02:35 LemonDrop gets a bit dizzy from being so high up in the pony's beak, making it a bit high for her to breath. Eventually, she stopped struggling seeing that there was no escaping the griffion's beak, and even if she did, she would most likely plummet to her death. Before landing even, she picked up the signature smell of lemons, still curious to why the griffion had stolen her away like this.

02:41 Serilde closes the door behind her and takes the little pony to the kitchen where she sets Lemon Drop down finally on one of the high counters. The Griffon pulls out the pie from the oven, still warm from having been left on a low heat setting. THe lemony pie was topped with a beautiful white marangue with lightly toasted outsides. It looked wonderful and smelled amazing. LemonDrop would most certainly aprove of its quality. "See look, its missing something," she says, setting the tin down next to the pony.

02:45 LemonDrop quickly tries to scamper off as she is placed down on the counter before noticing how high up it was from her new size and quickly reconsiders her action and instead scoots away from where the scary griffion was. She couldnt help but drool a bit to herself as she smelled the wonderful scent of lemons in the air before nervously responding to her "I..It looks fine to me.."

02:48 Serilde grabs a bit of twine off of the counter and looks down at LemonDrop with an evil grin on her face. "Well...its missing the best lemon. The tastiest one you own." She explains, reaching a heavy claw down to pin the pony against the counter while she begins to tie up the mare's legs.

02:50 LemonDrop seems a bit confused before seeing the large claw decending upon her, trying to avoid its grasp but failing as it pushes her against the cold counter "W-What are you doing! You already dragged me out here to see how good your pie was..and now you're tying me up!"

02:56 Serilde shakes her head as she makes sure to secure both her front legs and back legs to her body. "No, I think you misunderstand me. I didnt bring you all the way out here to see how good the pie was. I brought you out here to make the pie perfect." Before she has much time to figure out exactly what the menacing griffon meant, Serilde already has her lifted up and the subsequently pressed through the marengue into the tart lemony layer below it. The sugary egg whites and goopy sticky lemon filling stick to her coat and warm her up from the latent heat of the delectible sweet.

03:02 LemonDrop thinks about it some more before she is lifted up once again "B-but how can I help yo-" she is cut off again as her legs are placed neatly in the pie, unable to move as the griffon pushes her further in "Nono! Dont put me in here, I cant help you I swear, you left all my lemons back at my stand anyways!" she continued squirming slightly in the tasty dessert, the smell of the pie all around her almost overwhelming her if not for the situation she was in

03:06 Serilde frowns at the hole the mare's bodly left in the once perfect white top and takes a spoon to smooth it over, hiding the poor pony from the light. From the outside, one couldnt tell that there even was a pony in there, except for the squeaky noise comfing rom the pie. The griffon sighs and thinks that she wished she'd gagged LemonDrop as well. "Just stay there and relax. I think you have just made this pie the most delectible treat I've ever made."

03:13 LemonDrop squeaks out again as she is covered with the pie topping, squirming around under her new sticky blanket of sugary goodness to try and escape, making a slight moving spot under the pie's top. She sqallows some of the pie that had gotten into her mouth, yelling out to the griffion again "Leet me out pleassee..I'm sorry I didnt give you my best lemons..h-how about I give you some more for free!"

03:18 Serilde giggles and grabs a knife, cutting two cuts into the pie, both passing lengthwise to the mare, coming within a half inch of her extremities. What was left was a center portion just under the width of her beak where the pony was presently squirming. "Just relax and have some pie. I made it for you, though I didnt know it at the time. I forgive you for not knowing /you/ were the best lemon," She says, lifting out the rather large center of pie.

03:23 LemonDrop whines as the griffon cuts into the pie "I dont w-want your pie..I just want to go home...I'm not a lemon, I'm a pony and you cant do this!" she feels the peice of pie she resided in being lifted up, not exactly sure what was happening from the barely illuminated pie core "W-What are you doing.."

03:27 Serilde brings the large pie to her beak and opens wide, slowly sinking her beak down around a portion of it. Her beak bruses against the mare's squriming hindlegs, but she's careful not to harm the pony accidentally. Serildemmms as the rich flavor fo the lemon pie hits her tongue, just the right mixture of sweet and sour to make everything just perfect. She eats her bit loudly, smacking her beak and humming, giving the mare a better idea of what's going on, despite the lack of an explanation. Finished with her bite, the griffon swallows with a loud wet gulp, sending it plunging down to her belly.

03:32 LemonDrop freezes as she feels the griffion's beak move past herslicing off a large peice of the pie she was resting in. After hearing the griffon's loud eating noises, she realized that she was in the pie the griffion was eating and let out a scream "P-please dont eat me..I'll do a-anything". She whimpers after hearing her gulp, knowing that she was closer to taking her next bite out of the pie.

03:41 Serilde laughs darkly at the mare's desperate pleas and responds, "Oh you'd do anything? Well then, lie still and be a good pie and you might only make it as far as my crop before I change my mind and spit you out." The griffon licks her beak as she raises the slice back up to her face and leans forward, taking another large portin of pie into her beak and then breaks it off in her mouth. Lemon Drops top bottom half is surounded in the griffons beak along with a large portion of pie, but her top half dangles precariously from her beak, caoted in lemon filling and whte marengue. She can fee the sharp beak once again pressing into her back as the griffon holds her there. Serilde begins to suck on the pie and muses it to the roof of her mouth, forcing the contintes to squeeze into every crevice of Lemon drop, including some rather intimate ones. Drool pools around the bottom of her mouth as the sour flavor causes her to salivate even more, pulling off the delicious flavors inside her beak.

03:51 LemonDrop completely ignore's the griffon's request for her to lie still, too horrified with the realization of her situation to comply with her request. All she wanted to do was sell lemons, and now she ended up where all the fruit she was selling was acutally going. As the griffion takes another bite, she prepares for the worst, surprised to see that her head was pulled out of the gloomy pie so she could actually see again. She struggles as much as she can as the beak clamped down against her again, trying to escape her terrible situation. As the griffion's saliva mixes with the pie and is mushed around her mouth and pressed up against the lemon mare, she starts to cry quietly "I-I dont want to be food.."

03:58 Serilde sucks a bit longer on the pony's rear, getting as much flavor out of it as she could stand. This piece was certainly better off for having the lemony mare inside of it and she would have it no other way. The griffon tilts her head straight up and opens her beak slightly, swallowling around the pony. The griffons tight throat pulls the pie out of her mouth and moves half of the pony down her throat, causing a rather large bulge in her neck. With the mare now drawn fully inside, the griffon closes her beak, sealing her away in darkness once more, separated from the world by the hard keratian beak. The formel rund her tongue over the mare's form, pulling off the coating that had been mashed into her fur and matting her down with a sickly sweet saliva that tasted of the dessert she'd been inserted into. THe griffons breath smelled mostly of the lemon pie with just a hint of a sour fishyness to it.

04:10 LemonDrop felt so helpless not being able to move her legs, frantically pulling at the tiny thread binding her hooves together as the griffion's head tilted back slowly, wishing she could grab on to the outer edge of her beak. She begins to scream again as she was suddenly sucked down into the griffion's beak with the peice of pie she was attached to, quickly being muffled by the inside of her mouth. She watches in horror as his slimy throat muscles sucked the mushy pie on the lower half of her body away, pulling her closer to the pitch black abyss leading down deepr into the griffion. As her beak closed, she surely thought that this was the end for her, but instead found herself being covered in thick globs of salivia from the griffion's tongue, the smell of fish getting more prominent as she cleaned all the lemony pie off of her.

04:16 Serilde purrs as the wonderful flavors of the mare, but decides that the wiggling form is still best complimented by that of the delectible pie the fruits of her labors had wrout. She picks up the pie once more and opens her beak, biting off another large portion and squishing the mare's upper half into the filling. The lemony flavor was pressed into lemondrops mouth, making her taste the treat that she'd been placed into. The goop sticks to her mane and fur, displacing some of the saliva as Serilde sucks on the new piece of pie. Finally, the griffon swallows again, at which point the mare can feel the powerful throat muslces gripping her tight and dragging her into the depths of the formel's gut. A large bulge forms on the outside of her throat, which Serilde massages and feels as it travels down out of site to land in her crop.

04:29 LemonDrop struggles again to break her bindings, seeing the light from the griffion's open mouth however her hope is quickly crushed by another peice of the pie falling into her mouth and landing on lemon's head. Her entire body was a mess of lemon pie ingredients and the griffion's slimy liquids sloshing around in her beak, causing some of the pie to constantly get shoved into her mouth. To the griffon's credit, she did do an amazing job cooking the pie and she probably would enjoy eating it a lot more if she was not part of it. She feels the griffon's throat muscles tightening up around her rear end, whimpering loudly as she was finally gulped down along with that peice of pie into the griffon. Her strong throat muscles push the large glob of pony and food down until she reachs her crop, coming slowly to a stop in the gooey chamber.

04:33 Serilde 's heart beat loud and fast, the rapid thumping sounding more like white noise in the mare's ear, though the gurgling, squelching gut and her deep breathing would be much more dicernable. The crop itself was a fairly roomy slimy sack that was presntly full of bits of pie, which the muscles of the crop felt nesseary to knead and smush into Lemon drop. Serilde, however, doesnt pay much attention to the mare now, instead focusing on downing more of the pie, occasionally raining globs down on and burying her poor occupant as she continued to munch on what remains, intent on polishing it off.

04:40 LemonDrop listened to all the sounds around her, mainly focused on the sound of her digestive system working which scared the poor mare even more. She couldnt do much more then let the mush of pie around her along with the new fluids from her crop mix in to her coat, squirming constantly to stay on top of the pie raining down on her body. The thought of becoming the griffon's food made her start crying once again, taking this chance to try to reason with her "C-can you let me out now p-please? I am s-scared.."

04:46 Serilde places a claw on her belly where she feels her crop begining to bulge and massages it, trying to feel the tiny mare squirm and struggle within her. "Let you out?" her voice booms loudly, "I Sure, I promise to let you out once I'm done. Just sit tight, squirm and make me happy." She kept to herself about the condition she'd be letting the pony out in though, just a cute little ball of fur. Serilde resumes eating her pie, finishing the rest off. Her crop convulses for a second beofre a loud burp echoes around her. "Hmm, that pie was pretty good, but I probably should actually have dinner now..."

04:51 LemonDrop sighs with releif at the griffon's promise to let her out, she knew that nothing could be that cruel. She tried her best to continue squirming for the griffon, staying on top of the gooey pile of pie when suddenly the burp let out most of the air inside with her, causing its gooey pulsating walls to wrap around the tiny pony.

04:55 Serilde makes her way over to the icebox and pulls it open inspecting the contents. Sure enough, she finds her favorite dinner, smoked fish, and pulls a couple of them out of the device before closing them down. She swallows down the fish in quick succession, rumbling in pleasure as they slide down to her crop to plop upon the poor pony and cover her in their fish slime. THe stink would be powerful enough to compete the the better smelling things within her crop and being teh last things to be eaten, they would be squished the most into lemon's body.

05:01 LemonDrop suddenly feels something slimy slide down next to her from above, not able to identify it for a while until she feels the scaley texture of the fish next to her. As the next few fish plop down in a similar manner, she ends up completely surrounded with them, completely soaked in their smelly slime, causing her to gag. The only air left in the griffion's crop now with the fish in it not offering her much releif as with each breath she only inhaled more of the smell of fish and less of the sweet lemon pie mush below her.

05:08 Serilde begins to purr happily as she now has a full crop and a squirming pony inside of her. "How are you enjoying yourself? Because I'm enjoying you qute a bit." THe strange rumbling vibrates the entire crop as the griffon makes her way over to the couch. The formel lays down and closes her eyes, allowing her belly to begin to move the food to her stomach. The crop clenches and squeezes, slowly pressing a fish into another tight hole and soon after, sticking Llemon's head down it as well. The muscular ring contracts, drawing the mare ever deeper into the griffons gut until she comes to rest in a fowl sour smelling chamber with little breathable air.

05:16 LemonDrop manages to get some words out despite the smell of fish surrounding her to reply to the griffion "I-I could be better...when are you going to let me out though.." she feels her lay down, thinking that the griffon was going to uphold her promise but instead one of the fish crammed against her body slides down futher into her body. Her heart starts racing as she feels another tug at her body, pulling her through another slime coated musclar tube into the griffon's belly, immidately coughing at the smell of fish and digesting food "H-hey I thought you were letting me out.."

05:22 Serilde strokes a claw gently over her belly as she feels the mare's noticable bulk in her and laughs, closing her eyes and laying back. "I certainly am letting you out. Sometime tomorrow morning~" She responds cheerfully, "I just didnt tell you in what sort of state you'd be in. I hope the pellet you leave isnt too messy~" The mare can feel the tingling of acid as the caustic liquid pools around her and the fish. Rythymic contractions, harder than those in the crop squeeze around the mare, pushing the juices inot her fur. Fortunatly for her, there wasnt much breathable air in the chamber and so wount have to suffer through the worst of what's to come.

05:29 LemonDrop continues to cough trying to breathe, using up the small amount of existing air in her belly combined with the muscular contractions around her squeezing her lungs. Still being tied up, she was absolutely helpless in the griffon's belly, not even being able to move as the acid soaked into her body. She decided the only thing left to do was hope the griffon had any tiny amount of mercy in her as she started to speak "P-please...dont k-kill me.."

05:33 Serilde ignores the calls of the tiny mare, instead stroking her belly as it churns the pony away into becoming a bourishing soup. The griffon soon begins to drift off to sleep, as efident by her deepening and slowing breathing and slight snores. Before LemonDrop passes out, the acids would eat away at the twine enough to allow her to snap it, albeit a little to late to actually do anything. Her flesh was starting to burn as fur began to come loose, floating, suspended in the mixture.

05:39 LemonDrop whines inside her belly after not hearing a response, finallly breaking through the thin string tied around her hooves. Desperate for some shred of hope, she crawled on top of one of the slimy fish and proceeded to attempt to squeeze herself out of the tight closed off entrance which she came in. Eventually, after wearing out all of her energy, she slowly slumps down on top of the fish, hearing the griffon's digestive system gurgle around her as she accepts her fate and passes out right before the acid started to break into her skin.

05:42 Serilde 's belly churns around the mare as she passes out, soon bringing with it the other two fishes to be digested as well. Over the course of the night, Serilde turns everything that had been in her crop to a nutritious mush that nourishes her body, absorbing most of it. The mare's bones and hair, as well as the bones and scales of the fish were caught in her crop and compacted into a neat ball. In the morning, when Serilde wakes up, she feels a pressure in her chest and quickly makes her way over to the bathroom where she coughs hard, standing over the toilet for a bit. Eventually a slimey foul tasting ball of mostly green fur and scales with a coupe yellow bits falls from her mouth into the water with a splash. Bits of bone from her meals could be seen poking out of it, including a very prominent skull from the micro pony. The griffon makes a face and gulps a couple mouthful of water. "Bleh, you may have tasted good going down, but you certainly were terrible coming back up," she grumbles at the ball. Feeling a bit of pressure in her rump as well, the griffon squats down and lets loos a couple of wet farts before addint to the ball the brown formless remains that hadnt been fortunate enough to get caught in her gizzard. The griffon gives one last look at the remains of her meal and smirks to herself. "Thanks for being a good dessert LemonDrop," she whispers, flushing it along on its merry way and returning to her daily tasks.

05:42 < Serilde> (That was fun~ I hope you enjoyed it as well! Though that was way longer than I'd intended. SHoulda gon to sleep hours ago. XP )
