Housepets!

NHWestoN

My cat died last week. Andre was fifteen and had been winding down relentlessly so it was expected, and we got to sit under the autumn maple one last time. Over the years, we've had many animals in the house but all of them really belonged to one of the kids. Andre, however, as cats will, decided I ...

NHWestoN

Oh no! Quick ... Amble, Sophie, amble !!

NHWestoN

The ditzy dog did it again !!

NHWestoN

TUAM takes a very positive view of site colleagues...

NHWestoN

I tie strings around your wrists and ankles, fly flattened you up like a kite, and off you go, chum....

Bye-bye...

I win.

NHWestoN

Think of what that health restoring potion could do for all world's suffering creatures !!!!!!

Oh...

Right...

You're THOMAS ......

sigh .........

NHWestoN

Well, it has been a while since Peanut woke Grape up to announce "Grape, I love you!" If there are certain threads in the Gardens, one of them is that love pairings shift and relations reshape. At some level, the pairings of Grape and Max and of Peanut and Tarot are very genuine, but still...

NHWestoN

Oh, gosh, King has so many wonderfully endearing neurosis, I don't know how to separate them all out. I guess my favorite is....whoa, excuse me...Rook, DON'T CHEW THAT!!! Trinket - what felonious caper are you and Colantro plotting or are you guys just opportunists? (SORRY ABOOUT THE REPEAT QUESTION...

NHWestoN

It's a kefiyyeh, technically, but it works as well as a hat except what power it confers eludes me. It does obscure Thomas's identity (although Fox previously spotted him and Sophie earlier), and maybe helps Sophie feel a bit more secure.

NHWestoN

Agreed. It may not be canon, but it's certainly Apocryphia .... !

NHWestoN

Too bad Geraldo didn't have Sophie around to advise him. Ah, well, greed is almost a force of nature.
Dumb Question #248 - is Sophie a "pet" or, like the horses and cows at the Linburg farm, a work animal? Would that give her an aura in the temple than our Cat-Dog warriors?

NHWestoN

Enchanting... Lyrical, really.

NHWestoN

"I have no idea where he (Keene Milton) falls on the good/evil scale..." King Milton.

And just in times for two family-fan birthdays !! TUBM is planning to travel outside their home country... [Legotron123, I'm saddened to hear that your pet has left you; my tabby of fifteen years took his leave two weeks ago. I work at a shelter so I'm surrounded by critters but Andre was unique and...

NHWestoN

Snob? I'd be a snob if I thought I was better than everyone else and I wasn't! But, SINCE I AM BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, I can't be a snob... Right, Duchee-poo?

So, Res, what's next when you finish Pridelands?

NHWestoN

I blundered into your story and very much enjoyed it. For what it's worth, part of the charms of Housepets! Is that darker subcurrents exist that can only be intimated or briefly exposed, given the generally ebullient, PG, and upbeat parameters of the Babylon Gardens community. But it's also true th...

NHWestoN

Ectoplasm. I left out the ) 'cause I can't spell it.

NHWestoN

Sasha does seem to have a "genius" for being underestimated; sort of a stealth strategy...

NHWestoN

The temple is reacting to Thomas's "greed" aura, mebbee?

NHWestoN

Question (I'm not much s Survivor viewer).
Fox has immunity - so assume Peanut and Tarot vote off Sasha.
BUT
Fox and Sasha to cast two votes together...say, against Peanut.

RESULT .......... ?

Say, if you're stayin' up all night, kin I have your pillow?

NHWestoN

Well, that's not me because... A:HHHHHHHHHHH! COFFEE!!!!

UM...okay....TUBM wishes it was snowing out.

NHWestoN

Yeah, Cilantro is kind of a stinker, ain't he?

NHWestoN

You mean I was wrong all those times I told my kids not to drink bottles, cups, and glasses you find around the house with mysterious unfinished liquids that slightly resemble kool-aid ???? Sigh. Poor gentle, wise, humble Sophie ... It's tough working for an obsessive who's also a dim-bulb greedhead...

NHWestoN

Diff'rent views ... Just part of the "Fun" of visiting Babylon Gardens. ...And backstories are always intriguing.

NHWestoN

Jess? A feral on the force?? Oh, that's got a whole galaxy of narrative possibilities !!!

NHWestoN

Buster, Mungo keeps his power and attempts to carry out Spot adventure, but Sergeant Ralph grounds him for numerous infractions of disciplinary and aviation regulations. Grape sleeps through the whole episode. Regards. WYR A. Duchess challenges Keene Milton for control of the Baby!on Gardens canine ...

NHWestoN

... a catty little payback from the "Sorcerer's Apprentice", eh, Sabrina? Just saying thanks for ordering me to jump in front of Mungo the Mongrel Mountain, Tarot, while you smack the sauce out of Sasha...

NHWestoN

Okay ... New perdikshun... Fox and Sasha both target Tarot... Tarot votes off Fox because he's a threat and has two Celestial girl friends. Peanut votes off Sasha because he thinks she's stressing out and worries about her. RESULT: Tarot's in the crosshairs! or Fox, Sasha, AND Tarot vote Peanut off....

NHWestoN

The Sandwiches stand together !!
But........ Fox still crushes on Sasha, Tarot resents Grape because Peanut still loves her.....
So, unless Sasha gets confused and goes wack-a-doodle and votes herself off..... GRAPE'S DOOMED !!

Hmmmm ... Need to work on my timing.

NHWestoN

Again...Tarot's head may be the third cranial detonation! Sorry, Dallas, technology is treacherous...

NHWestoN

Tarot, among her other charms, does have a puritanical streak. Grape, on the other hand, has a robust and varied range of cardinality. Jata for raw Eros; Peanut for her deeper, more mutual spiritual agape side, Res for her intellectual and cultural passions, and Maxwell appealing to a mix of adolesc...

NHWestoN

..... And now we know why Maxwell took the jingler out of his collar bell. It's harder to escape when you're a ding-a-ling.

NHWestoN

Two quick thoughts, mates.... Rick is REALLY GOOD at going back into his histories and turning them into story threads ... Like Tarot's warning to Sabrina about nearly drowning, a throw away line that becomes a prophecy when she's knocked into the swimming pool at her wedding and Fido has to rescue ...

NHWestoN

.... And, although "the game" officially ended and Pete and Dragon made mortal as penalty for failure to control their chess pieces, the reverberations continue. Do celestial talk to each other - has Kitsune coordinated with Breel, Ralph, Summer and Spring or is there a whole maelstrom of ...

NHWestoN

Looking at her facial expression, the next head to explode just may be Tarot's.....

NHWestoN

Hey, John-056. Having celestials involved (Breel..sweetheart that he may be) along with Ralph, Spring, and Summer reminds us this quest is still pretty cosmic and potentially dire...

...And I always worry about Sasha, too.

NHWestoN

It is interesting that Mungo is spooked by Tarot since he sure walked through Peanut and Sabrina easily enough when he was in pursuit of Fox and Sasha. On the other hand...well...Tarot's kinda spooky even with the green lights off. (NO Great Gatsby reference intended. Regards.

NHWestoN

Wow! Besides a neat contest, that's the best disclaimer I ever read !! .... And I'm old !
