Post subject:  Communal Drabble from the Gather

You will have to imagine the pretty little pictures which accompanied the original of this heartwarming tale of life on the Gornetz Platz.
Italics are used to show when a new poster started.


It was a cold and frosty afternoon on the Gornetz Platz. The girls of the Chalet School were rambling, as they often did, wandering in small groups along the scenic paths.

Len, Con and Margot Maynard were walking together, chatting about the new baby sibling that was on the way. Suddenly Con gave a startled exclamation and pointed...

Len walked into her from behind and Margot fell over them both. Unfortunately, they had tumbled into the only patch of quicksand in the Alps. It was a sticky situation and they were about to lose hope when a potential rescuer dashed into view, golden haired, handsome, panting wildly. He lept onto them and covered them with wet sloppy kisses. This had the unfortunate effect of making things much worse. It seemed that Con was made of SUGAR. And she disolved.

"Oh well, one less sibling to look after" thought Len, as she chopped second twins up to make stew for that evenings dinner...

Across the alm a goat approached, on the back of which rode a wild haired stranger.
"Argh!" Yelled Len, throwing the ladle into 2nd twin stew. "The Pim! Run..."


Pim threw her sharpened red beard at Len, killing her instantly after 13 agonising days. Joey on hearing the news reacted in an interesting fashion.
"Topping" she exclaimed as she loosened her hair.
"Wizard" she added as she plaited her hair into two skew whiff plaits.
"Smashing" was the epithet that accompanied her donning of a gymslip.
"Now I can take up my rightful place as the archetypal 'Chalet School Girl'" she pronounced as she dashed to the school and joined onto the end of a shocked lVb as they trailed into morning prayers.

Unfortunately for Jo, lVb contained a few forceful members, who couldn't stand Jo, and these bright sparks promptly seized her and bundled her into the nearest cupboard, along with a man eating shark and some lime green blancmange...


Joey, quick of mind on this occasion, realised that the shark, being out of water would be dead; made some quick sandwiches from the blancmange and then left to seek her revenge.

Unknown to Joey the blancmange itself was the real weapon and a quick acting poison. This poison though, rather than kill her, wiped her mind completely and, when Gaudenz found her, he realised that this was the perfect woman for him.

Poor Gaudenz - what he didn't know was that his cologne was the antidote to the poison. Joey came to her full senses and memory and Gaudenz would never recover from the 9 hour session that followed.

Joey, however, renewed with a new - well something - now strode out to continue upon her mission, leaving a dazed and confused Gaudenz gibbering senselessly in the corner.

Joey meanwhile strode down the corridor, hands in pockets trying to whistle and speak in all 3 official languages of the school at the same time. She dodged Matey who was looking meditativly at a jar of castor oil only to bump, literaly, into the Head girl.

Joey don't forget was trying to be a middle, hence the gymslip that confused the head girl for a second, but being made of sterner stuff and not a jellyfish she pulled herself together and said,

Joey pushed open the door smartly, the words of her complaint suddenly dying into silence as she saw Miss Annersley sitting at the desk... But she looked - odd.

Joey gasped.

"Hilda! You're wearing spectacles!"

"All the better to see you with," smiled Hilda, suddenly looking slightly hungry. Joey gaped at her, surprised.

"Oh, but I am," said Hilda quickly, a wicked twinkle in her eyes (which still didn't need the glasses she was wearing). "Seeing as so many of our Old Girls have become models, I've decided to take up photography. The school needs something to help pay for all the compensation people want from their near-death experiences now."

Joey, for once in her life, found herself speechless.
