A few days have passed, and there are no signs of any further traps. Perhaps the Big One has give up? I certainly hope so–I don’t want any more of us sacrificed to whatever he is doing.
Tonight was warmer than we’ve seen in a long time, and I felt relaxed enough to join another of the Folk in a night of mischief.

We annoyed–and were annoyed by–a talkative bird:

We chased some large rats–very fast things, no wonder they hadn’t been caught before, even in this hard winter. We were also chased by a dog, but we…convinced him to go elsewhere. (All right–he got bored and wandered away when he couldn’t reach our perch on the wall.) Then an even stranger creature found us–it seemed part-bird, part-lizard:

I tried to jump on it, but fell off, and it chased me. So I finally led it into one of the large M’an-nests. Let the Big Ones deal with it!
In back of the big M’an-nest, I found my companion in a garden, with a bowl of cream. A good way to end the evening.

[Strangely the idea of wandering around New-Babbage as a unicorn is no longer so strange as it once was. ^_^]
Except unicorns don’t exist :-)
Like Timelords? ;-)
Exactly.
That black rat was especially annoying.
I think it got into my cheese the other day.
This is why I became a peanut. The talking box of fries, meatwad, and Master Shake will be along, eventually.
Will the Fries costume have a lure ability? Is it worth opening a french fry vendor?
They will role 2d and have a magic missle. And sometimes they will be moon fairy pegasus unicorns fries, just like in the old days.
i can ride my Bovina?
Will your milkshake bring all the boys to the yard?
Two cats prowling the alleys and back streets of Babbage looking for adventure and/or trouble. How fitting that our fair city would attract cats in search of fun and food!
Note: that black rat was a fast runner!
Maybe the unicorn was somebody’s science experiment? If I was going to do Dr. Mureau type experiments, I’d be all over trying to make mythical creatures real. Imagine the potential for money making!
Plus, remember the goat with the implanted horn that Ringling Brothers tried to pass off as a unicorm awhile back?
Lancelot is stuffed and under glass at the Palace of Wonder, near to the Fiji Mermaids. A must stop beer stop whenever you are near Washington DC.
::clears his throat, throwing a few sheets over some of his old projects in their glass tubes including a mermaid, hippocampus and a zombie bear all in chemical induced stasis:: What’s all this about mythic creatures and science experiments now?
Zombie bears aren’t myths, just very very angry
They’ve got a “merman” mummy at a gator farm outside of Hot Spring, Arkansas (I miss betting on the horses, :( ) . I think it was a deformed alligator they had taxidermy done on. Still kind of creepy. Not as creepy as a pickled punk, but I love all that stuff.
This is a delightfully surreal and entertaining thread to read while half-awake and sleepy-eyed following a brief afternoon nap. *switches into her mermaid outfit and takes a dip in the port. Thank you to whomever bumped it back up on the board for a read.
those pesky bird-lizard things! hehe!
I concur ..It really is a wonderful thread , the photos are endearing and most clever :)

The unicorn is clockwork, just a bigger version of the technology used for my clockwork bunny. It even flies due to the smugg… legally imported at great expense Cavorite from Caledon with all due export taxes payed in full to Mr Shang’s office. *nods*
I rather miss the kittens visiting the power station, I keep leaving milk out but no kittens come round anymore… Maybe the new security clockwork are scaring them away?
nope…. i can tell you what’s happened to the kittens, they are all round my place playing with my lot!
