WW LXXV: It's Always Tea Time Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Alirin walked through the little blue door and found herself in a great garden. “What a wonderful place this is,” she said to herself.

As she began to walk up the path she could here all the flowers whispering, which despite its oddness did not seem to surprise her at all. After a few minutes she happened upon someone else looking around the garden. It was a woman all in red, who wore a crown atop her head.

“Where do you come from and where are you going?” the Red Queen said sternly when she spotted Alirin walking towards her, “Look up, speak nicely, and don’t twiddle your thumbs.”

Alirin quickly attended to all of these things as she explained that she was not all together sure where she was going and that she had lost her way.

“Well, I don’t know what you mean by Your way, seeing as all the ways are mine.” the Queen said, “But why did you come out here at all? Curtsey while you’re thinking of what to say, it’ll save time, and everything you say should end in Your Majesty.”

“I only wanted to see the garden your Majesty...” Alirin tried to answer.

“Well, when you say “garden”, I’ve seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness.” the Red Queen responded patting Alirin on the top of the head.

They walked on for a bit not saying anything, and Alirin was feeling quite uncomfortable in the silence. She remembered what her father would always say when having conversations.

“So, how about this weather?” Alirin asked timidly.

The Red Queen looked at her as if she had forgotten that she was there. “Well, we had such a thunderstorm on one of the last sets of Tuesdays.”

Alirin was quite confused by this. “Well, where I’m from we only have one day at a time.”

“That’s an odd way of doing things.” her Majesty responded, “Here we mostly have Days and Nights two or three at a time and sometimes during the winter we take 5 nights at once, for warmth; since that is 5 times as warm as only one night, you see.”

“Than wouldn’t it also be 5 times as cold?” Alirin asked.

“Just so!” The Queen responded, “Five times as cold, and five times as warm, just as I am five times as rich as you are, and five times as much a cobbler.”

“A cobbler! With peaches or berries?” Alirin asked, getting quite curious.

“Why, did I say that out loud?” The Red Queen said, quite alarmed by her admission. Suddenly thunder could be heard in the distance.

“Is today another Tues....” but the Queen could not finish her sentence for the sound of thunder drowned out her words. As the two ran for cover Alirin was sure that one of them would be struck down by a lightning bolt, and she was feeling quite afraid. As she reached the cover of a tree she turned to see where the Red Queen had run off too, but she was nowhere to be seen.

The storm ended as quickly as it started and so Alirin ventured out back into the garden. This is when she spotted something quite curious. In the middle of the path was a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, and underneath she could see a red crown mixed in with peaches and blueberries.

“Cobbler indeed” she said to herself as she walked around it, feeling as though this place may not be as wonderful as she had originally thought.

Alirin continued to walk down the path of the garden, looking around at all of the large gossiping flowers and shrubs shaped like giraffes, until she was suddenly surrounded by a strange blue smoke. As she walked through it, trying not to lose her way, she suddenly bumped into a very large mushroom. Sitting atop the mushroom was a large caterpillar smoking a hookah (well, large for her seeing as she was still only12 inches high).

“Whhooooooo are yoooooouuuuuu?” asked the Caterpillar in a languid and rather sleepy voice.

“Well, I hardly know. Atleast, I knew who I was before I arrived here, but I think I must have changed several times since then.” Alirin replied.

“Explain yooooouuuurself.” The Caterpillar replied sternly.

“But I can’t; being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.”

“Nooooooooo it isn’t. Stupid girl.”

“Well, maybe you’ll understand more when you’ve turned into a chrysalis and then a butterfly. I would think you’d feel a little queer then, won’t you?” Alirin replied, not at all liking that he called her stupid, seeing as how she does quite well in her lessons.

“Not a bit.” replied the Caterpillar.

“Well, it would feel very queer to ME.” said Alirin.

“You!” said the Caterpillar. “Whoooooo are yooooouuuu?”

“Who are you?” asked Alirin, getting quite annoyed with the strange creature.

“I!” said the Caterpillar. “I am a Shirriff!”

“A what?” Alirin replied, feeling quite confused seeing as how he was clearly a caterpillar and nothing else.

“Yoooouuuu heard meeeee.” the Caterpillar replied, turning away from her. “Tiime for mmeeee tooooo leave.”

With that something strange began to happen. In a matter of moments the Caterpillar was all wrapped up in a chrysalis. Only moments after that, a large blue butterfly emerged, that soon began to fly away. It was quite the pretty sight to behold.

But then something not so pretty, and quite strange happened. As Alirin watched the large butterfly fly away something even larger was flying in towards them. Pretty soon a tremendously humungous bird had gobbled up the butterfly and flown away.

“What a shame, I rather like butterflies,” Alirin said to herself as she sadly continued down the garden path.

So Feas was a cobbler yay us.

And Boro was a sherriff... which is kind of neutral Not good but he wasn't a seer or anything so that works.

going to look at votes and suspicions.

But maybe that's kneejerk

Lottie just lost the game.

Also, my internet's being rubbish so I'll have a look at stuff tomorrow or so and see if I can work out some more stuff. Well, until then I suppose I'm off. Later!

EDIT: x'd with Nienna.

Nienna · 04-09-2010, 09:31 PM

So I've stopped having any sort of idea what is going on. Sally what are you talking about? Maybe it is just because I need to sleep but I'm super confused. Whatever... it's fine.

Lottie, my dear, I would love some explanations. I'm going with my general feeling and say you aren't a wolf.

I'm going to sleep now and hope that when I get up there is a lot more clarity.

This is to say, yeah, I'm the other Shirriff...and I'm seriously ticked.
