Title: A Good Jest For Ever (1 H IV 2.2.94)
Author: lite_bright
Play: I + II Henry IV (plus hilariously inept quoting of Henry V, by Pistol)
Recipient: borusa
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Pistol, Bardolph and Poins.
Warnings: (if necessary) None. Well, drinking. Also Pistol trying to whore it up.
Rating: PG
Notes: Very silly. Not really much redeeming value. Like beer, in a way.
Summary: Pistol has a good time. This is not such a great time for everyone else. Everyone may play beer pong. Whatever, internal chronology; set in some nebulously pre-modern pubs. Hackneyed attempts at rhetoric and humor follow.

( It is an unseasonably warm evening for April, and the matted and rich-smelling rushes from winter have been turned, leaving their heavy stench in the air. The tavern-keeper and his mistress purposefully bustle, limiting their movement by foreknowledge, practice, and simple lethargy, as their lone patron sluggishly naps. )
