[The portal opens with the video function. A small, pixie-ish face behind a multi-coloured mask. is squinting into the screen. It pulls back a little to reveal a thatch of pink hair in messy spikes.]Look, I'm not completely sure why I've been dragged here suddenly. I'm sure it's for something totally important, too! But I kinda sorta thought that I ( Read more... )

[Have a rather disappointed housewife who is shaking her head like you really ought to know better.]

Really now, jelly beans? If you were serious about wanting help, you should be offering real treats, like cabbage tarts!

Nevertheless, I think I might be able to help you. The important thing to know is that this is some sort of dream.

dulcisnuntius August 8 2011, 02:19:27 UTC

Yeah, I've heard about the dream thing! Apparently. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me yet.

I've never had a cabbage tart! Are they good?

I've found the best way to look at it is that this is a sort of vacation, and we are all having it together, whether we want to or not. It's upsetting that one can't leave, of course - but it would be terrible not to take advantage of such a wonderful place nonetheless!

It does get terribly complicated once you start learning the rules, however. So disappointing.

And I simply have to make you some cabbage tarts! Jelly beans are just garbage in comparison!

My name is Morticia Addams, my dear. It's nice to meet you!

I guess you could think of it like that. But that mirror...

Do we just keep on going back home? I mean, there are kind of things I need to be doing. Back home.

I'm Dulcie. I'd like that, yeah.

The mirror is worrying, yes. [Morticia puts a hand to her cheek and considers the glass beside her for a moment, before turning back to the Portal.]

I've decided I'm glad it's here to show me the children are well. Perhaps it's only an aspect of this dream as well, but I'd like to hope that it's true when I see them happy.

Miss Effy did explain that she returned home, once, but did not understand how it happened or how she came to return here I'm afraid. You may have to ask her for more details; I've only been here for a day myself.

And as soon as I find my way to a kitchen, Miss Dulcie, I'll bake some for you! I'd discovered that simply dreaming up foodstuffs doesn't have the right taste here.

You have kids back home?

[Morticia's expression softens. Dulcie's the first person to really ask about the children, and she misses them terribly.

She manages a smile, small but proud after a moment's wavering.]

Yes. Two lovely children, dear Pugsley is eight, and darling Wednesday is five. They're our pride and joy.

Re: video dulcisnuntius August 10 2011, 21:30:13 UTC

You must miss them a lot.

Video hemlock_garden August 11 2011, 02:22:24 UTC

I do. Even with how enjoyable this dream world is, I think I need to find something to truly focus on to distract me properly or I may just pine away.

[A short pause and then mMrticia manages to find the words to add]

Miss Dulcie... on your back.... are those...?
