Amy the Ant - High Manzanilla of the Church of the Stuffed Olive Posted May 26, 2003
Yes a swan!
Gingerbread House
Buttercup the Pantomime Cow Posted May 26, 2003
[Front] and [Back] in harmony:
A very fine swan indeeeeeed!
Gingerbread House
The Swan Posted May 27, 2003
*stretches his neck, looks around*
Qua-honk? [A swan? Where? Where?]
*clears his throat as there seems to be something wrong with his voice*
Gingerbread House
Amy the Ant - High Manzanilla of the Church of the Stuffed Olive Posted May 27, 2003
Come into the house and look in the mirror.

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 27, 2003
*sitting on the lawn, holding a chunk of fungus in her hand*
One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all...

Amy the Ant - High Manzanilla of the Church of the Stuffed Olive Posted May 27, 2003
*something strange about Lil's tone of voice stops the ant in her tracks*
[to The Swan]: I'll be with you in a moment. Try to jup up onto the table.
*walks back down the path*
Lil, have you been for a walk in the forest? The HAUNTED forest?
Gingerbread House
Mysterious Stranger Posted May 27, 2003
*feels that the play's candy floss feeling has been going on long enough, possibly due to the current surroundings*
*except possibly for the odd behaviour of one of the ordeance*
*decides to play his part as the villain, as was his intention from the beginning, long ago*
*crosses arms, frowns, glares at 
*
Stay? That creature? No - absolutely not - no way José!
*turns to Mary, takes her hands, looks deep into her eyes*
Chérie - face it - no man will ever want you if that comes as part of the bargain - you will have to choose who you want to spend the rest of your life with!
*gives Mary a dazzling smile that somehow ends up looking like a sneer*
Gingerbread House
Titania (gone for lunch) Posted May 27, 2003
*admires the swan*
*looks around for a 
to throw at the Stranger, but there's only candy-like stuff in sight*
Hmmmm...

Amy the Ant - High Manzanilla of the Church of the Stuffed Olive Posted May 27, 2003
I think she's been at the funny fungus.
Gingerbread House
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 27, 2003
Amy? You should see the sparks coming off your antennae, like, wow, that is flip city, man.
*considers*
Yeah, I went into the forest. Nice trees. NICE trees.
*bursts out giggling*
Gingerbread House
Robyn Bankes Posted May 27, 2003
*enters the Gingerbread House*
Looks just as nice inside as out.
Gingerbread House
Amy the Ant - High Manzanilla of the Church of the Stuffed Olive Posted May 27, 2003
Lil, how many antennae am I holding up?
Gingerbread House
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 27, 2003
With which hand?
Ooh, pretty house. I have the munchies! Gingerbread, yeah, man!
*staggers to her feet, dropping the piece of mushroom*
Hey. I'm not 5 foot 10 any more. I'm not even two foot ten. Bummer!
Gingerbread House
Humpty Dumpty (and Chicken Little, his chicken) Posted May 27, 2003
* Rushes in *
Did someone say José? José Dumpty? Is he here? Did anyone tell him about Humphrey? He'll be crushed! Is he inside the house?
* Staggers, and grabs his head 
*
Oh my, I think that ride was too much for me. I've a splitting headache!
* Enters the Gingerbread House. *

Mary and her full-grown <sheep> Posted May 29, 2003
But...but...Stranger, he's no trouble at all. And...and...he'll keep the lawn trimmed! And...and...I can knit things with his wool. Yeah, I'm sure I could learn how to do that. He's really nice when you get to know him, but he is very protective. He'd protect our property - he'd make a great watch, er, sheep. And I'm sure he'll get over his previous, er, feelings toward you. Won't you, now, sheep?
<-- wags tail and gives Stranger's hand a reluctant lick.
Gingerbread House
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted May 29, 2003
Ohhh. I think I've crashed. I think I'm the right size again. I think sheep don't have pointed teeth. I think I'll go inside and get out of the sun.

Mysterious Stranger Posted May 29, 2003
*pulls away his hand, wiping it off ostentatiously*
No I said! *eyes blazing*

You're very lucky Lil. Most people who eat the mushrooms find themselves away with the fairies.
Own up! Who ended up back at the lake in the tour?
