As we have a few consecutive days with no sign-ups, it seems a good time to play first line/last line drabble challenge.

The Rules are:
1. Open to everyone from now until end of June 8th. After that, no more please as we will be back to regular posting days.
2. Drabbles only of 100 word length exactly (though I'm not going to count).
3. Your drabble must begin by using the last line of a previous drabble. One long chain of drabbles is good, but you are free to pick up any last line. A last line can be used more than once.
4. Create a new post each time (keeps it easier to track).

I get to go first! My thanks to [personal profile] quaggy for this prompt. Also my apologies for using it in only a drabble. Hope you don't mind too much.

Title: Shooty Dog Blues

Author: il-mio-capitano

length: 100

 

 "<<Exterminate! Exterminate!>>"

 

Joyfully, Giles worked the control paddle and his model Dalek patrolled officiously around his office and then out into the corridor. It was highly unprofessional but clearly the best Christmas present ever he'd ever had.

 

"<<K-9 will engage!>>"

 

From out of Xander's office, another Dr Who toy appeared and, much to the disapproval of the rest of the staff, the two locked in deadly laser battle. Giles fired but Xander was quicker and the Dalek lost power on a direct hit.

 

"Bad dog," snarled Giles.

 

The dog's antenna ears wiggled proudly.

 

"<<Affirmative>>."

 

"I wasn't talking to you."
