Summary: The annual Harvest Festival is always the same – more or less.
The harvest festival was in an uproar when Torchwood arrived. Fruit and vegetables bouncing between pews like rubber balls, tins rolling down the aisle, loaves of bread stacking themselves like building blocks.
The entire congregation was sprawled haphazardly about, laughing their heads off, and the vicar had a black eye from being hit in the face by a wayward bunch of celery.
The cause of the chaos sat blinking innocently beside the font.
Harmless. A Rigolian party favour.
Ianto switched it off; everything stopped moving except the giggling congregation.
“Chemical spill causes hallucinations?”
“Again?”
“They believe it every year.”
“True.”
The End

Date: 2012-09-19 04:35 pm (UTC)We could use some of those "party favors" around here. The last few street festivals I've been to have been pretty staid.

Date: 2012-09-19 05:25 pm (UTC)Maybe it's a permanent once-a-year link to the same place, I haven't quite decided, but everyone's happy to go along with the Chemical Spill explanation and it saves retconning everyone.
I'm sure your street festivals would be very merry indeed with a little help from a certain kind of party favour!
Thank you =D

Date: 2012-09-20 02:06 pm (UTC)I think the congregation WANT to believe what Ianto tells them - it's an acceptable explanation and it means they can enjoy the festival each year without feeling guilty. It's a chemical spill, not their fault at all, just one of those things. Might as well enjoy the effects while they last since there are no after effects. They've been assured it's not at all dangerous...

I seem to stuck on animated objects, don't I? It was the first thing that came to mind from the prompt and I had to work a bit to have it make sense in 100 words, but I got there. I have no idea if I'll manage a drabble every week, but it's quite fun.

Date: 2012-09-19 09:22 pm (UTC)Torchwood is used to it by now - it's the most popular harvest festival in Cardiff.
Glad you enjoyed it. Drabbles are fun!

Date: 2012-09-19 11:44 pm (UTC)The festival sounds like fun! Although the congregation can't be all that clever if they believe the same cover story every year!

Date: 2012-09-20 10:43 am (UTC)Two weeks in a row! Don't know if I'll manage EVERY week - I might not always get an idea - but we'll see what happens.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
