MAKE ME CHOOSE: Mansfield or Mallory

"Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister, and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, arse-covering prigs? They don't care what we do, they care what we get photographed doing."

Oop, got caught talking smack. Listen, we get it! We know you all have to get your kicks somewhere since us Double 0′s keep spoiling all your big, bad plans. Finding a mole? Please. That’s just another Monday at the office.

Did you think you were spared?

This year, we are robbed of team days, a shame because we had so much fun watching you frantically trying to solve our codes. 

But you know what.

We are villains. We do what we want.

We have kidnapped one member of each team. And to get them back, each team would have to complete a task to retrieve their valued member.

@teamdoubleoh​: We have kidnapped @prismatic-bell​. And the task is to write a fic about how one of the members of Mi6 is actually a mole. Fic must be 500-700 words.

@teamqbranch​: We have kidnapped @kitten-kin . And the task is to make a photo-manip or art of how one of Q-branch’s inventions will end the world. 

@teamcivilian​: We have kidnapped @00qsillyfanturtle​. And your task is to create a list of food and drinks for an “end of the world” party. Minimum, 5 food/drinks; recipe is not required but preferred.

The above tasks must be completed before EST 00:00, 21st July, or, well, who knows what will happen to your dear members. Tag us when you post it, or else we will pretend that we didn’t see it and never let your precious members go.

We wish you good luck with your tasks. You wouldn’t want your dearest team members/captain to meet their demise, would you?

Hey! Have a little faith in your fellow agents! This challenge is a walk in the park. Villains are getting sloppy.

Best Regards

Drabble, Q, Nomi, Bond

"What's he like, the famed 007?"

"You're 007, Nomi," Q replies, taking the bait with an indulgent glance over his glasses.

She grins. "Not the famed one."

"Most of us in secret intelligence prefer it that way." Q considers the question and finds his lips twitch up of their own accord. "Well. When we first met, I likened him to an old warship ready to be hauled for scrap."

Nomi laughs deeply. "And your opinion improved?"

"A tad."

"A tad. Oh good." Finally satisfied, she collects her documentation and kit from the desk. "I'll send him your regards."

"Please don't."

Miss Moneypenny’s Martini

(A Nine Kinds of Liquor Headcanon & Scavenger Hunt #30)

Q created Eve’s cocktail early in their friendship, and she loves it, she really does.  It’s light and refreshing and can still be dangerous when they need to let loose a bit.

But sometimes a girl just needs chocolate.  Dark chocolate.  And any alcohol that could be incorporated is just a bonus. really. 

So Q developed a new drink for her, for when she needs something rich and sweet to help her forget about a long day.  Something decadent.  And because Q knows her tastes, he put a little twist on it.  An orange twist, to be exact.  

Q explained the recipe to her like this:

The dark Godiva Chocolate liqueur is almost smooth enough to drink neat, but it’s a bit too rich.  And a bit… uncomplicated (obviously nothing like Eve herself).   The Creme de Cacao and Half-and Half lighten and smooth the texture, while  the Vanilla Vodka adds some much-needed lighter notes.  But the orange is the kicker.  Warm and bright and a little bit of a surprise… just like Eve.

All she knows is that it’s delicious.  And if her favorite Boffin says this is emblematic of her personality, well, who is she to argue?

For the MI6 Cafe Prompt Exchange prompt of, "Q bans the term 'tits-up' to describe missions which take a poor turn. What other descriptors do the agents and minions come up with? Which ones make Q laugh the most?"

007 Fest 2023 - soapmaking day 6/6

Three more batches of soap today, and that's the end of the character prompts for this fest :D

From @foxsoulcourt I got a prompt for Mallory (sage, mahogany, cedarwood + whisper of neroli). @prismatic-bell gave me a blend for Paloma (After The Rain, Orchid, Sea Salt, Sweet Orange, and the teeniest smidge of Lemongrass). And @samanthahirr picked scents for Jenny Flex (campfire, hickory and suede, lilac … and maybe a touch of sweetgrass). They'll come out of the molds and be cut into bars tomorrow, but for now ...

007 Fest - Food Day Cocktail

Mr. Hinx Fizzy

2 oz. champagne 1 oz. blended lightly aged (white) rum 1 oz. dry gin  1 oz. rye 1 1/2 oz. pineapple juice 1/2 oz. lime juice 1/2 oz. passion fruit syrup 1/2 oz. apricot liqueur mint sprig

Combine all ingredients except champagne and mint sprig in a blender with crushed ice. Flash blend and open pour into a large snifter or wine glass with the two ounces of champagne already in it. Garnish with mint. 

The Mr. Hinx Fizzy is a massive drink for a mountain of a man! The titular Mr. Hinx is an intelligent and sophisticated assassin who enjoys the finer things in life—like this take on the popular Hinky Dinks Fizzy. The delightful citrus-and-sweet-fruit bubbly concoction tickles his (admittedly subtle) funny bone, but it needs a little extra oomph to impress a man of refined taste. Choosing champagne over a generic sparkling wine gives this drink an optional clout, but it’s the extra ounce of rye that provides depth of flavor while toning down the sweetness of the passion fruit syrup. 

Note: Don’t be fooled by the sound of this fruity champagne cocktail. This isn’t your average brunch drink; this is a drink designed to take you out! To avoid getting severely fucked up by this deceptively boozy cocktail, I suggest sharing this drink with a friend…or cutting the recipe in half for a serving size suitable for a regular-sized human.
