Bunny's Choice in Clothes

[eirinstiva]

Parallel playtime

[arrives late and eating pineapple] Bunny Manders sent a letter with the first part of The Rest Cure. My poor Bunny is alone and penniless. Where are thou, Raffles?

"I've taken a house near here for the holidays, where I'm going in for a Rest Cure of my own description. Why? Oh, for lots of reasons, my dear Bunny; (...)

Raffles is hiding from Mackenzie, I guess. After reading Mr Justice Raffles and Clustering Around Young Bingo I'm very familiar with a rest cure, so I think it's a good idea to run away for a short time.

Raffles could be as full of himself as many a worse man, and I did not like his society the less for these human outpourings. They had rather the effect of putting me on better terms with myself, through bringing him down to my level for the time being. But his egoism was not even skin-deep; it was rather a cloak, which Raffles could cast off quicker than any man I ever knew, as he did not fail to show me now.

Yeah, Raffles, yeah! This is a good oppotunity to spend time together doing something different from eating at clubs and less criminal than... the usual, u know~

"So this is how you have taken the house," said I in his own undertone. "'Taken' is good; 'taken' is beautiful!"

So Raffles and Bunny are now squatters? I prefer the word in Spanish okupas (from ocupar: to occupy, to use. Written with K because is associated with punks).

[ID: Front of an old building with a white sheet with black and red letters hanging as a poster. It says in Spanish "¡¡¡Somos artistas no terroristas!!! Kasa ockupa aki". Translation: "We are artists no terrorists!!! Okupa house here" /end ID]

So they are in a house with many books to read, but they can't make noise, use electric lights or have a decent bath. Just reading, sleeping and eating.

"My dear, good Bunny," said Raffles, "I've told you already that I didn't come in here on business. I came in for the Cure. Not a penny will these people be the worse, except for their washing and their electric light, and I mean to leave enough to cover both items."

AJ lies like he's trying to convince himself, and he's failing. And Bunny? He went from "I was no longer to be alarmed by this sort of thing; it was all so like the Raffles I loved least" at the beginning to:

His neglect of me seemed wanton at the time. I have long realized that he was only wise to maintain silence at the expense of perilous amenities, and as fully justified in those secret and solitary sorties which made bad blood in my veins.

Raffles wants solitude. Bunny wants parallel playtime. Raffles doesn't give the attention Manders desire, so it's time for revenge!

The second German raffles edition not including out of Paradise or The Rest cure shows that those stories were too gay for them eventually

A shame, I would have loved to read them again in a more modern translated version. *shrugs* I will always have you, first German edition from 1900

I do think it'd been hilarious to have a truth-serumed or spelled Dean around Cas, just start spilling his guts and flirting worse. But also genuinely think Cas would get so overwhelmed from going zero to eighty on this that he'd duct tape Dean's mouth shut after attempts to tell him to stop confessing romantic feelings kept failing. Final resort, Cas would whoosh away to some glacier and sit there until he'd collected himself.
