It's very disappointing for a six year old boy to be told off for looking up his mama's guests' skirts, especially when the only other ladies he'd ever met happened to be mermaids and therefore he only wanted to find out how they walked on the great big tails he was convinced they had instead of legs ( Read more... )

[There isn't really much to hear except for the humdrum noises of every day life in the City - and then something not all that unusual for the City either, a loud resounding splash.]

This isn't the king's [sputters some water blah] ---- and where has [ew more water, sound of someone sopping standing up in the fountain]

[Christopher has been warier than usual in his expeditions around the City ever since the slug infestation, and it's quite a relief to not have to worry about that any more ( Read more... )

Has anyone else noticed that our...hmm, hosts have been making their presence felt a great deal more than usual lately ( Read more... )

Most exasperating. I clearly told the tailor a red waistcoat, but he's gone and made up a black one. You'd think I was going to a funeral. This not-hearing business is even worse than the constant floating ( Read more... )

[Someone is sitting cross-legged, looking rather put out.

By my count, this house is currently sheltering the three of us, a griffin, a pig, and a horse. Not to mention the frog I found hiding in one of my shoes this morning.

We'll be able to compete with the zoo soon at this rate.

So, I see I'm not the only one who's finding this uncomfortably familiar. Hands up anyone who can guess where exactly this curse might be going.

[Enchanted private to Cat and Grant]As much as I hate to say it, I don't think we should leave that horse in the stables. It looks like all this is going to be getting worse before it gets better ( Read more... )

[the backdrop: THE GRAVEYARD]

It's worse than being back in Stallery! I've never been bossed around so much in my life. A guide, he said. Who holds their guide at swordpoint? And that sword felt ( Read more... )
