first Scooby pizza sighting & a hedonistic Giles

[dragonyphoenix]

Okay,

I'm trying to work out when the first Scooby research party where they ordered in pizza happened. I've watched through "I Robot; You Jane" and haven't seen it yet. I'm wondering because for my Giles as the Big Bad story I'm making Giles hedonistic, one of the signs of which would be him not eating the pizza but ordering something for himself from one of the better local restaurants.

And while I'm on the subject, what other signs of Giles' hedonism can you think of? I've already got the idea of a killer car. He might dress slightly better but he also would feel the need to dress as well as the Council would expect him to so possibly not so much there. He's hitting on Jenny much more quickly. What else?

Thanks!

He could make a point of drinking only aged single malt whisky - twenty years old or more - or the very best cognac. Possibly imported biscuits too, from Fortnum and Mason. They send out hampers at ruinous cost, so he might rely on a monthly delivery of delicacies. Bath Oliver biscuits (cookies to you) and Gentleman's Relish, for example.

Excellent. I know exactly where to use the whiskey. Thanks so much for the help.

[gillo]

Check the spelling, though. 'Whisky' is scotch, 'whiskey' is irish. Scotch has many more layers of snootiness attached!

*laughs in delight* I never knew that!

[gillo]

Giles would. I suspect this Giles would be very scathing indeed about anyone who didn't!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yes, he likely would. *grin*

My only excuse is that I drink so rarely that even one glass of wine will go to my head.

Hmm, hedonism. Loving the cognac suggestion, so may I add in something silly like musky cologne or the occasional cigar?

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I could put in cologne without getting all giggly but a cigar I could do. Thanks.

I *did* say silly. I couldn't think of anything better, sorry.

(I now have worryingly Hugh Heffner-esque images of ASH in my head)

Eeeek! Now it's in my head too!

They haven't even had doughnuts yet. They don't seem to have had many late night Scooby research scenes in S1, or at least not yet, so I think I will have to make one up.

I could certainly work the Lothario idea in. Thanks.

As to clothing - leather jacket? Like something from that photo of young Giles. Besides, it's a time honored trope - if someone goes bad, he starts wearing leather)

it's a time honored trope - if someone goes bad, he starts wearing leather. *laughs* It is at that but Rupert, being a Watcher, would dress like one as a form of protective camouflage.

Well, he could settle on doeskin.
I don't know how it fits your image of Giles, but my day became complete when google search brought me THIS)))

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would work. Thanks. *huge grin*

Thanks. That's very helpful.

Nope, not too late. I'm listing out the scenes, to make sure I don't drop any threads, before starting in on my second draft.
