Not A Pee Just A Bath

What are you scheming, Vello? asks David.

There will be a prize, says Vello. If Baby Pierre is willing.

To be bottled, says Gaius. Ha ha!

No way! says Baby Pierre. I can't be bottled!

Not you, says Vello. Your bath water. I assume you take baths.

I never take baths, says Baby Pierre.

Perhaps you ought to, says Vello. These days it's hard to make out your tulip.

It's NOT A TULIP! cries Baby Pierre. It's the Mark of the Claw!

We know, says Gaius. Vello is teasing.

I'm going! says Baby Pierre.

He speeds away on his tiny bicycle.  

So much for that idea, says David. It was daft anyway.

Not so daft, says Vello. Especially if Baby Pierre does well in the Tour Down Under.

He always does well, says Gaius. But no one notices.

This time we'll make sure they notice, says Vello. 

Simon Clarke rolls by, on his new Factor Ostro VAM.

Nice bike, says Vello.

Thanks, says Simon Clarke. It's a new one.

Heard about our hidden bicycle comp? asks Vello.

Nup, says Simon Clarke. Been too busy.

There's a special prize, says Vello. A bottle of water that Baby Pierre bathed in.

What do you do with it, drink it? asks Clarkey.

Whatever you like, says Vello.

Wash in it, says David. 

Or pour it away, says Gaius. And use the bottle for an alternative purpose.

Baby Pierre is kind of a legend, says Clarkey. 

Indeed, says Vello. And his talent is bound to rub off.

Cool concept, says Clarkey, riding off on his VAM.

Soon the Tour Village is buzzing with rumours.

You know that magazine velosophy? yeah for the olds, yeah but they've got this comp and the prize is kind of awesome a bottle of water that baby pierre took a bath in fuck that's like... yuck, why ... not a pee just a bath idiot ha ha, it's like you know, homeopathy. a little bit of baby in every drop like one molecule, that's enough, what's it called? velosophy, yeah you should take a squizz...

Vello's plan seems to be working.
