 		Last night, i thought "Oh, I'll write the response in the morning". I woke up kinda late so I had about 10 minutes to write this. =_=

Quote:
Unsure what to do, I survey the situation. Ms Sepsis yells "No! You're working with her!" I look where she's pointing What?, I think. So Mr Garden is working with Mrs Swelter? But I thought Ms Sepsis was working with Mr Garden... hmm. But that could mean...

Ms Sepsis continues "We are in danger!" My eyes widen as the pieces fall together in my head. Danger. Ranged. Garden. Has it all been a trick from Mr Garden? Surely not. I think back on past events, and realise I can't exclude that as a possibility. I have to find out the truth.

I look back at the oven. That little boy needs to get out of there. I then glance over at Ms Sepsis, catching her eye. Winking surreptitiously, I turn away and watch the only other living person here run over to the cupboard and look for iron tongs. Hmm, Ms Sepsis can't touch iron? Perhaps that means they're all allergic to iron. I stare down at the can of whipped cream in my hands. These cans are made of steel and tin, and steel contains iron! I hold the potential weapon tightly in my hands and consider what to do...


And the (rather speedy) response:
Quote:
It's hot in that oven; you know first hand. The kid needs to get out, ghost or not.

You wink at Miss Sepsis, hoping she will calm down, but she doesn't. As your fellow traveler inspects the cabinets, Miss Sepsis screams, "He is lying to you! They are both lying to you!"

Mr. Garden laughs. "Oh, my dear Miss Sepsis. Did you bonk your head in that wrestling match with your sister again? We're here to help with the pie baking, that's all!"


You pull the can of whipped cream out and hold it close. Perhaps it has something in its materials that will ward off ghosts. You look at the side of the can: Infused With Frenghif Iron. What does Frenghif mean?

Mr. Garden, whose name you are starting to think of a bit differently now, has noticed. He whispers, "Hand that iron can to me. I can make all of our troubles go away." He has his eyes fixed on Miss Sepsis.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

EDIT: Oooooh! Didn't someone have an English-Ghost dictionary? Very Happy

 		Sorry guys, don't have time to read up, someone yell at me if this sounds familiar to any of you.

TV's Reply:
Quote:
Astonishingly, this kid doesn't seem to remember you – or the Festival from last year at all.

"I'm sorry," he says, his face reappearing. It hovers in mid air. "I am… new here." He looks down, as if quite sad about something.

You explain what you're looking for, though, and that changes his expression. "She sent you? Looking for m – looking for a servant boy? What for? Well, he says. I think I can help you find him… if you can help me and my girlfriend get out of here. We have to escape, you see." Then he narrows his eyes a little, and the face floats closer to you. He whispers, "They say there'll be a war soon. My girlfriend won't let me fight. She says we have to escape."



My reply:
Quote:
Something's not right with this one, and it's not just that he's a ghost...My gut tells me I can't trust him but I don't have a lot of options right now do I?

"Look kid, if you can help me find the servant I will help you and your girlfriend. I've fought in my fair share of wars and know a little bit about them, but one thing at a time, how can I find the servant ghost? No servant, no dice, comprede amigo?"

You got Frenghif iron as well? On the same turn! Smile The substitution decrypto doesn't give too many good decryptions, except for maybe "lightful".

TV's response:
Quote:
This is unacceptable! You are protecting that – ghost – child, and no – ghost – person is going to hurt him! End of conversation!

You must think logically. Mrs. Swelter clearly isn't going to let you through. Instead, you decide to follow orders for now, and you hope Billy will be safe.

You pull the horseshoe out of your belt and hold it close. It's very warm, and something is different about it. You inspect the side of it and see the words Infused With Frenghif Iron. You haven't a clue what Frenghif means.

There are actually no tongs at all up there. You search carefully and find only three items: a life bead, a worm (alive), and another worm (dead). You may take only one item per turn.

Behind you, Miss Sepsis screams, "He is lying to you! They are both lying to you!"

Mr. Garden laughs. "Oh, my dear Miss Sepsis. Did you bonk your head in that wrestling match with your sister again? We're here to help with the pie baking, that's all!"


I haven't responded to it yet.

I grab the goblet of blue liquid but hesitate to use this. "Hold on, Sammy!" I yell. I gotta figure out what Caterlice means. Good thing, I have a dictionary...

I open the dictionary and say "Caterlice" and wait for an answer, hoping Samuel's increasing bulk doesn't smother us both.


TV responded:

Quote:
Samuel reaches for the bottle, but you grab it and tell him to hang on! You're going to get to the bottom of this situation before anything happens to your friend.

You open the dictionary and say, "Caterlice." Samuel watches, eyes wide as the tiny ghost professor pops up on the pages of your book.

"Caterlice," he says, "is a noun. One, A very tall person with incredible magical abilities summoned by his or her diction. Two, A very large and dangerous person with evil abilities summoned by his or her diction. 'He's as big as a Caterlice!' 'Watch out for that Caterlice over there.'
The ghost vanishes, and you are left with Samuel, who seems to have stopped growing. He is too large to fit through the door.


I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

 		Ok, first of all, youse travelers that need translations need to find your way to the traveler carrying around the dictionary. Or that traveler needs to find their way to you!

Safely avoiding the "something very large" I have found myself in a bedroom:
Quote:
Luckily, in Transition Village, carrying several items at once seems to be much simpler than it is back home. Still, it can be difficult to keep track of everything at times. Best to pay close attention.

You sneak down the hallway until you are certain you have passed the creaking sound – though it is difficult to tell which room contains the very large thing. Your best bet is to go all the way down the hall to the farthest room, and so you do.

You enter an elaborate bedroom. It is dark and palatial and smells of tobacco from a pipe. There are many cabinets lining the walls: some as high as the ceiling, some as low as the floor. Near the bed (an enormous four-poster) you see a small cabinet with a lock on it. On the bed are a book, a letter, and a pair of reading glasses. You may take only one item per turn.

My reply:
Quote:
Exhaling a sigh of relief at not encountering "something very large" I first notice a ton of cabinets. Now why would a bedroom have so many cabinets? And why in such odd sizes? I wonder as my eye travels over a city skyline of storage containers. Then I notice the large luxurious looking bed and the items at rest upon it. I scan the locked cabinet and dismiss it as I see no obvious key laying about the room and am not willing to attempt vandalizing such a beautiful piece of handiwork.

Stepping toward the bed I consider the items it holds. I have no interest in carrying around yet another book unless the title proves to be attention getting. Reading glasses? Unless they are an artifact that once belonged to Timothy Leary my own eyeglasses will suffice. I pick up the letter and inspect it...

 		Transition Village's Reply

Quote:
Bustling about the room as the ghost shifts his gaze from your decoration to your craftsmanship, you pick up the stale cookies. They're half eaten already, but not by a human. There are itty bitty bite marks on the edges of nearly every cookie. The side of the box displays a series of numbers: 78151920 45205181851420



"Mmm?" The ghost looks up from the mace, realizing you asked him a question. "Oh, my name. It's Yaddle. Everyone calls me Yad. I, uh," he pauses, eyeing you again. "Have you served any other, eh, customers since you arrived in our village?"


The top half of the text was blue this time, first time anything has been colored.

On a side note the name Yaddle is an Anagram for Deadly..

Anyone got a translation on the numbers? Doesn't strike me as anything.. yet.

My Response

Quote:
"Yaddle?" I ask, "That's an interesting name." I say.

I pause a moment at Yad's next question
'She did tell me that the flower might attract attention'

Before answering him directly I take a moment to examine him for any flower he may be wearing.

"Oh, well I did have another visitor briefly, didn't happen to catch the name, terrible at that as I'm guessing you've surmised."

I string the bow and begin to examine it as an excuse for studying the returned ghost, curious as to his nature.

"I was not completely certain that was what you wanted with the items you brought me, was I correct in my assumption about your request Yad?"

I watch the ghost for his response, a polite inquiring look on my face.

Also, I've had the colored stuff happen to me occasionally. I think it's them putting the block of text in a hyperlink to nowhere for some reason.

 		 Has Anyone Applied...
decisions, decisions
Although I'm in the queue for a spot, I'm wondering if I should try to apply for the reptile wrangler position? I'd have to get in touch with my innner bad girl for it. Hmm!

My horoscope this week also makes me wonder if I'm closer to the top of the line as Nuri tells me, "Short of a non-astrological disaster, things are looking up for you!"

Take Care,
Kendra

Hey Diz, Pat Skard is an anagram of Dark Past.

Kendra, go for it. Past TVs have used classified ads to get other players into the game.

 		well, the well...

Quote:
You shot a greeting to the other traveler, but he doesn't seem to notice you. In fact, he looks quite distracted, and he doesn't move a muscle.

Glad that you have your sweater with you to keep you warm, you head over to the well for a look. This village holds a lot of memories for you!

The well looks dusty and unused. It's covered in cobwebs. In fact, you notice that there is an enormous spider sitting on the bucket of the well. It looks like it's looking at you. Yes, it is definitely staring at you.

"Hello," it says. "I don't suppose you'd be willing to help me with something?"


Quote:
I'm a little startled as the spider starts talking. "Oh hello, sorry for looking that surprised I haven't talked to a spider for a while - or rather never in my life."
Glancing around if someone is seeing me I lean a lil forward to the spider and whisper : "Tell me, how can I help you?"


who was the one I was yelling at? Confused

 		Well, things are looking up for me (at least, for now)

Transition Village wrote:
"Well, it sounds to me like you passed the test. I think you are deserving of the manliest shower scrub that anyone has ever put on his OR her body. As a reward, I give you this bottle of Sticky Itchers Shower Scrub, free of charge."

The ghost hands you a bottle of the scrub he mentioned and then looks at you very seriously. "Please remember to help me out, too," he says. Then he disappears.

Your clothes are clean. You have a bottle of Sticky Itchers Shower Scrub in your hand.


My reply:

Quote:
"Hey, thanks..." I trail off, as I see Earl fade away. I'm a bit disappointed at my apparent loss of a new transparent friend, but I resolve to find him again and give aid once I do. I take a moment to revel in the fact that my clothing no longer stinks to high heaven, and carefully examine the manliest bottle of shower scrub that I've ever had the pleasure to witness.

"Sticky Itchers, eh? Sounds familiar, somehow." Reviewing my mental list of people to find (of which, there are currently two,) I decide that I had better continue searching for this servant girl. After all, she might have been assaulted by horrible smelling laundry as well, and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone!

Taking stock of my surroundings, I decide to see what's behind door #1- or rather, the door closest to me on the right side of the hallway.
