21 - Stop! Hey, what's that sound?

[seeya_next_life]

What's all the noise? I mean not just the weird The Sky Is Falling noise--what's this I hear about ants? We're packing everything up and moving to the great cotton candy trainwreck in the Wilderness? Did I sleep through something important again?

You better hurry and join the competition! I'm trashing everyone else! No cocoon is too heavy for the Nightlaser!

[seeya_next_life]

Competition? I'll relinquish the winner's circle volitionally this time, my friend. I'm not a fan of heavy lifting--bad back.

Scrawled hastily and with somewhat excessive force, with underlines for emphasis as shown.]

Board up the house! Batten the hatches!
We'll be meeting more than our matches
All round the Sphere now rings a warning
Twelve-foot ants coming a-swarming
Her concern's the market, seller and stall
Do mind the house, Rosalind and all
And find too somewhere to rest our heads
As we won't be sleeping in our own beds.

I hope you don't mean actually batten anything down--you know I'll just flatten my thumbs if you give me a hammer.

[seeya_next_life]

PS: Where should I meet you, and do you want me to grab anything from your room on the way? Far be it from me to run away in the face of danger (NOT), but I don't do giant insects. I don't remember if I'm anaphylactic but I'd rather not take chances.

[Gosh, Lea, stop being a ninny. XD]

I'm in the Bazaar, helping Crow with the evacuation! So just help Rosalind hide her microscopes and all that, I don't think she'd want them trampled. And then get to the Wilderness and find someplace for us to sleep, please?

And look after Rosalind.

Rosalind, if you read this, look after Lea.

I'll see you both later!

Disneyworld wilderness to a KH character...

From what I hear, these sounds herald a swarm of monstrous ants; tall as a man, with a taste for the same.

For your own sake, take shelter in the wilderness. There are many of us willing to assist you, should you require it.

worst deja-vu acid trip ever, or BEST deja-vu acid trip ever??

[seeya_next_life]

Sounds like a regular day at the zoo. I guess I'll risk living on cotton candy and going into a diabetic coma.

The offer is appreciated, but I think I'm good; I'm sure there are some folks who will be in greater need of some heroics.

[heretic_hamlet]

Very well. Take care, but risk not your life for the sake of your possessions.

[man_genius]

You know what? We're gonna have to tattoo a note on your forehead that reminds you to check the journals at least once a day so you'll stop missing all the drama. How else are you gonna keep up with the crazy, Lea-friend, unless you read the journal-nets?

[seeya_next_life]

Well clearly that's what I have you for! Everyone should have a good reliable Genius for a pal.

Obviously these ants didn't get the No Invasions While I'm Sleeping memo. I'll have to give them a stern talking-to.

[redhead_rabbit]

Ya don't read the journal much do ya?
I'd find a place in the Wilderness. Apparently these ants eat people.

[seeya_next_life]

But I do! Everything just seems to wait 'til I'm napping to happen!

[redhead_rabbit]

Ya either nap a lot or have really bad luck, yanno.
