How so
very long ago she meant to do this... Why, oh, why was the wait so very long? Well... As a matter-of-fact, she just so happened to be a tad bit busy... Suddenly being in charge of the Motley Palace, making sure everything ran smoothly...yanno, keeping the canniable garden gnomes in check, finding new critters, catching evil leprechauns, keeping all the teapot cats clean and well-fed, watering the gardern, soothing the moody door... There was quite a bit to do, every. single.day. Plus some! New adventures were always just around the corner!
But today...today was set aside for something special. By all means, Metha was no longer "the new one on the block," but... she still didn't really know any of her neighbors. Besides, that pesky little Meji was always bothering her about going and visiting the others nearest by. Really, the Meji wasn't
always so bad. She was
fun, but she
always nagged about this in her subtle, little way.
With an odd, springy lurch in her step, Metha ventured down the pathway and up the stairs of the mansion owned by the one-and-only Xidel. She was decked out in some of her best brightly colored attire- the tank top, fingerless gloves, skirt, stockings and boots... all made her stand out like a multi-faceted neon light in utter darkness.
Within her gloved hands was a plate. A very large plate. A plate of black with neon green vines and purple and blue flowers. Upon this plate, was a jiggily mound of jello. Lime flavored, of course. And it was expertly carved in the shape of a castle. That's right, a castle. Why a castle?
Cause she felt like it.Coming to a stop at the door, the young Lucain-woman was marching in place. She shuffled the plate over in one hand, balancing it better than even a well weathered waitress. She knocked on the door, hard and loud. "Hello, hello!? Anyone hoooome!?"
