Title : At The Sign Of The Fighting Cock

Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Ryan
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 389, In The Pub

Ryan glanced around the dark interior of The Fighting Cock, relieved that Abby was still supervising the transfer of a tranquillised creature back to its own time.

The numerous beady-eyed, moth-eared trophies of past hunting activities staring miserably down at him would have gone down like a turd in a swimming pool with her.

As the equally grim-looking locals gave him some exceedingly bland looks, Ryan acquired the pub’s entire stock of pies, sandwiches and crisps.

As he left, the sharp eyes of a painted raptor stared malevolently down at him from the faded old inn sign above the door.

Brilliant! I think I've drunk in that Forest of Dean pub!

It's a good thing Ryan was assigned to pub duty instead of Abby. Nice.

Oh, nice.
Methinks that anomaly has opened more than once...

Now that is a pub I'd like to visit (... not).
But leave it to Ryan to deal with it properly.

The inn sign! Brilliant!

LOL - nothing quite so dangerous as the locals by the looks of things!

I think the locals were lucky it was Ryan not Abby. Sounds like this isn't the first time an anomaly's opened there. Nicely done.

Lovely use of the swimming pool *g*
Hmm... but consider what sort of meat might be in those pies? The locals are scarier than the raptors, perhaps they're doing a roaring trade in dino dining? *g*

Oh yes, I can picture Abby's reaction... And perhaps there is a stuffed raptor head somewhere on the wall too ;)

Great drabble, and go, Ryan!

It's definitely that creepy kind of pub where everyone looks up when a stranger walks in...*g* Ryan is lucky he's not joining the trophies.
