hmm, a one-word story...

it may be that I don't hear well enough to actually /do/ one of these, much as I'd like to.
Oh, and all I can say is that it refers to the rest of M&C, as has been the rather alarming tendency of the most recent ones. :) I believe the alternation is perfect, starting with landofnowhere and then silkspinner. At some points it actually flowed too well to keep track!

Person: This is the person the story is about.
Place: University
Thing: Chocolate Panda

Once upon a time there was a dragon named Bob and he liked to eat wildflowers. Also, people. This dragon named Bob was flying through the field one day and he spotted a particularly chocolate wildflower. "Aha!" said the dragon. "A dessert! But what'd I have for dinner?" This is a self-referential dragon, so he continued to question his meals. Meanwhile, back in Oz, there lived a chocolate panda. This panda desired wildflowers also. In Munchkinland, Bob was a dragon who liked wildflowers. Therefore, he and the panda decided to go faaaar away from the other wildflowers, because they were tired wanted to sleeeeep. They slept in a meadow of tame wildflowers.
But Oz is a dangerous place, and wildflowers are alive. Viciously, then suddenly, a gust of wind blew over the wildflowers, animating the above wildflowers. "Attack!" cried the wildflowers, and the dragon slept unknowingly, but the panda awoke and raced across the meadow to see if the forest was safer. However, unfortunately the forest was full of universities and these universities snared unsuspecting pandas in nets.
Meanwhile, the dragon, who was the target of the flowers' attacks, began to stir and notice that he was being attacked by wildflowers. Therefore, he smoked the meadow. The grass melted.
"Excellent!" said the dragon who liked(?) destruction. But the dragon regretted having destroyed the meadow and determined to restore it toward its former aliveness. So, he undertook a quest, but sadly he encountered a person, who was named "The Person About Which This Story Is." The Person About Which This Story Is stopped and confronted the dragon with a pointy chainsaw, but the dragon was angry and flamed The Person About Which This Story Is. Soon,(?) The Person About Which This Story Is exploded and wreaked destruction throughout the land of Oz.
The wizard of Oz wondered what was wrong. He asked a scholar what had become of the meadow and the person about which this story is. The scholar replied, "Weelll, it may be connected with the dragon and the panda."
"What?" said the wizard of Oz confusedly. "We don't have any pandas in Oz!"
"But," said the scholar, "we do have a dragon, and wildflowers. So it is possible that we have a panda."
Agreed the wizard, "That is possible. And what can we do about the dragon and the panda? Perhaps we could outlaw dragons or pandas or wildflowers."
The scholar pondered voluminously. "Sire," he finally declaimed, "I'm afraid it is quite out of the question."
"Well," replied the wizard, "in that case we might consider inviting the dragon and the panda and the wildflowers to tea."
"Sire!" said the scholar. "That is brilliant! Let's do that immediately."
So they did.
The end.
The moral of the story is: When you encounter wildflowers, don't smoke anything.
