In the "good news/bad news" department, subheading "disturbing mental images", my Characters have been agitating for the resumption of work lately, apparently deeming the return to service of the printer their cue that I'm almost in a frame of mind to indulge them again after the long bout of Moving Insanity.
Unfortunately for me, the tactic that my Narrator has chosen to get my attention has involved increasingly distracting OOC antics, beginning with threatening to dress up in a wedding gown and roll around on the floor singing "Like a Virgin". (Said Narrator, for the record, is built like Chief Tyrol and covered in a Robin-Williams-grade pelt.) When I proved resistant to this outrage, he downloaded "Holding Out For A Hero" while I wasn't looking, put it on repeat play, and hopped on a horse.
In the wedding gown.
Narrator has been warned that while he does have a legitimate grievance about the long period of preoccupation on my part, I can't actually type well enough to do much to relieve his boredom when I'm laughing that hard, and would he please at least take the dress off before we sit down to the negotiating table to hammer out a work schedule that will suit both of us for getting production back up to speed. One of his conditions, unfortunately for y'all, was that I at least record the stunt in writing somewhere before he'd let me concentrate again...
