Yes...







Uh? Fish?





Fish!

*Minotaur hears Hellboundforjoy's shout of distress from the pool*

Wot am dat is? Powla Bare in trubble? *Lumbers off*

Throws flowers onto amazing polar bear rescuing minotaur!

Sings a song of wonderment!

Hmmm. Yes your right gadarene, old bean. Love struck minotaurs are few and far between. Do you want to touch the thorn I took out of his foot?

sOK

I've never seen a minotaur before!

Let alone such a compassionate, sensitive half man/half bovine.

I think it's Trin. He seems to bring out the best in people/creatures - apart from walrusses - and my ferrets were a bit concerned - but otherwise he has them eating out of his hand. The creatures literally and the people figuratively that is.

Aw shucks And I have been meaning to work on my people-ferret skills.

Minotaur *hearing sound of Vestboy heaving at a rope to pull Yuvi and a fair few sandwiches up out of a very deep hole in the ground*: it am sownds like that Vestboi cud yooz sum help awlso *shambles off*

*Tidies about a bit picking up bits of fence and putting them in neat heaps for Shade to collect later.

*Carefully sets down the buck of growth agent. Carries all the broken fencing and branches off to the dumpster. Picks up bucket and steps over the first broken hedge then carefully pours a teaspoon of the agent on the hedge. the hedge quickly grows back to it's former size. Continues onto the next hedge....*

*Finally gets to last inside hedge. Tries to step over it, but foot gets stuck on a brach and he trips. Spills the whole bucket of Jack and the Beanstalk Miracle Hormone Growth Promoter all over the hedge and quickly rolls out of the way as it rockets upward. The hedge grows rapidly and doesn't even slow down until it reaches the height of 200 meters.*

* Gingerly pulls self up ground and stares up at the umm, hedge-stalk. Decides a might help and limps off to the bar*

Wow! Look at the size of that!

*Stops looking at the bump on Shade's head and notices hedge.*
Golly gumdrops that's a whopper and no mistake.
Shade did you use the Jack and the Beanstalk (etc.) stuff in small quantities as I told you?



But this is just terrific! Race you to the top.

*begins climbing*

*Wanders in with a book to read in case she should get lost*

*Peers down and sees a new face in the maze.*
Hello down there!

*Looks up* Hi!!!

*hangs by knees from branch of vine and beckons for Indiana to follow*
Hoik yourself up here if you wanna see what's at the top of this beanstalk.
*Plaits excess vest to make a rope which he lowers down for Indiana to grab.*

Thanks! *Grabs rope and starts climbing.*

*Reaches beanstalk and starts climbing*

Have you climbed a beanstalk before?

*Gets half-way up and thinks*..."Nope."*looks down* "Eep!"
