Did you know that Sophie, the snail in the Labyrinth in Henford-on-Bagley, looks east to greet the rising sun? That's so adorable! 🐌💞

Edvard and Marina go for a walk in the park in Henford on Bagley. When they reach the statue of Sophie the Snail, Evard confesses to Marina that Henford is starting to get a bit boring for him. He would like to change scenario, but would also like to have her at his side. Marina is ecstatic! After the death of grendmother and her father, everything had become a little stale for her taste. Yes, she has a job, and yes, she has her lovely foxes; but Marina feels like she needs a change of pace! They decide to travel together.

Dear future Henfordians,

I am simply delighted to be welcoming you all to this fine institution.

Formerly a stately home, Henford Ladies’ College has stood empty for years and now she will finally be restored to her former glory. I long for days where her halls will echo with the laughter of friendship and the joys of success. My only advice is that you give your best to her and take all that she can give to you as well.

Enclosed is a copy of the college prospectus. A supply list and train ticket will follow shortly.

Yours faithfully,

Headmistress Crumplebottom M.A

And so it was off to Isle Of Volpe National Park in the Bramblewood, so everyone could rest and relax and enjoy themselves in the sunshine! Alice, who was starting to feel the Fury a little bit, decided this place was a great spot to have some Zoomies and ran off, while Victor and Smiler hung out with the pets, flirting and being silly together. :) It soon became apparent that there wasn't much they could DO with the pets -- there's not that many options for playing with a cat anyway, and Shadow couldn't do much of anything with her cone on -- so Smiler flew off to search Sophie for goodies. They found a couple of plantains in the shrubbery near her base, and left behind in return that talking llamacorn toy that's been in their inventory for AGES. Look, it was a gift from Clement Frost at Winterfest one year, so I felt weird about selling it or recycling it -- but leaving it for a kid to find? That's GOTTA be acceptable!

Anyway -- with that sorted, Smiler began looking for someone to make friends with and maybe get a drink from while Victor did a little cloudgazing, then splashed around in the little fishing pond nearby. They ran into one Brian Pimental near the log bridge, whom they had a little relationship with -- but apparently had never properly met, as I had to introduce them when they flew over. O.o Asking about Brian's career solved that mystery pretty quickly, though -- apparently Brian is an Eco Inspector, which means he must be the guy who shows up periodically to make sure the gang are continuing to use clean energy and maintain a garden of decent size. Anyway, they got along well, and Smiler was able to both get a drink and use their vampiric powers to learn all their traits, while Alice returned from her run to play laser pointer with Kelly and Victor stopped soaking his shoes and pants in the pond to talk with a rabbit --

And then I got the pop-up that FINALLY clued me in as to what was going on with Kelly. Telling me that she was in labor.

Cue me stopping DEAD and yelling at my screen "WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU GET PREGNANT?!" XD Yeah, so, as it turns out, Kelly was in the family way all this time! And while I certainly didn't tell her to breed with anyone, I think I know how it happened -- namely, Kelly is one of those cats who will periodically wander off-lot on their own adventures. I think she must have come back pregnant from one of THOSE, as I believe that is a risk with an unspayed cat! Which is why you have to spay and neuter your pets AS SOON AS POSSIBLE people.

Anyway -- with me reeling from that revelation, and with kittens on the way, I figured it was best for the gang to head home. Alice finished up playing with Kelly; Smiler finished up with Brian; and Victor finished up teaching Shadow how to lie down (as you can apparently teach pets to do things while they have cones, which feels -- a little wrong?), and with a final Van Alton kiss to mark the occasion --

Hi, fellow Radiohead enjoyer! If it's not too late for an album ask, then I'm sending you 'In Rainbows', 'Ok Computer' and 'Hail to the Thief'. Btw, feel free to ask me about Radiohead too if you want, I love them so much!

Hey there! No, it’s not too late to ask, so thanks for doing so! I LOVE rambling about music and whatnot, so thanks for the excuse!

IN RAINBOWS

Fave song: alrighty, so In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album so picking a favorite is a bit difficult. I’d probably have to go with either Bodysnatchers or Jigsaw Falling Into Place, it tends to fluctuate between the two.

Favorite lyric: I’d probably have to give it to “I’m alive” in Bodysnatchers, which is boring when I write it down, but the way he screams it is just *mwah* chefs kiss. The line in Weird Fishes “why should I stay, no why should I stay” is also delivered really well

Song that makes me cry: Videotapes and Nude. I don’t feel like I have to elaborate on that.

Song that’s a bop: also Bodysnatchers, but 15 Step in particular also makes me do a little boogie.

Song I like the least: probably House of Cards? Idk, there’s not too much there to talk about, but it’s still a sweet song.

OK COMPUTER

Favorite Song: Paranoid Android, not even a question. Maybe it’s the sound, maybe it’s how it describes a chaotic mind that won’t shut up that I relate to a lot, or maybe it’s my deep love for Ergo Proxy. Either way, it’s a 10,

Favorite Lyric: easily “everywhere you turn, I’ll be there, open up your skull, I’ll be there, climbing up the walls,” from Climbing Up The Walls. God, it’s such an accurate way of describing anxiety - your whole brain feels like a haunted house, and there’s something inside. Honorable mention goes to “hey man, slow down!” From The Tourist, the delivery is amazing.

Song that makes me cry: Take a fucking guess, it’s No Surprises. Genuinely one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. If I’m ever super emotional and need a good cry, that’s the song I turn on, specifically the acoustic cover.

Song that’s a bop: tbh I wouldn’t really describe any songs from OK Computer as a bop? I guess the closest we have is Electroneering (super underrated btw)

least favorite: ok, this is gonna get me crucified by some people, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of Karma Police. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good song, but it just kinda feels a lot more drab and boring then everything else on the album. I’ve always just kinda found it a lesser version of Paranoid Android.

Unfortunately, The King Of Limbs is the album I have not listened to the whole way through yet. So far, the songs I’ve heard out of order have been alright, but I’ll have to see how I feel about it as a whole when I finally sit down and listen to it.

anyhow, thanks for asking!

kotlc characters as shit I've done while driving that rose my dad's blood pressure

Sophie - nearly fell asleep at the wheel and sped into a turn way too quickly and white knuckled the steering wheel for the rest of the drive

Keefe - missed the signs for speed bumps ahead, forgot to slow down, and went over them at like 40mph. The impact was felt

Fitz - got super pissed off at the guy in front of me going way too slowly and almost crashed into him twice

Biana - kept going over the yellow line between the two lanes, or drove way too close to the curb

Dex - didn't slow down in time for the red light, wound up halfway into the intersection by the time I finally stopped, and just drove because everyone was honking at me

Tam - accelerated way too quickly and jerkily and stopped exactly the same way, slamming myself and my dad against the seats

Linh - kept forgetting to indicate when I was switching lanes and then forgot how to turn off the indicator when I finally managed to, so I just switched between indicating left then right then left until my dad finally turned it off

Marella - kept slowing down and then speeding up because i got distracted and didn't hold the accelerator properly

Maruca - refused to go down driveways or narrow roads quickly, instead crawling through them at a snail's pace so it took longer to reach the end of a driveway than that of a highway

Stina - slowed down randomly whenever anyone was walking past me even if they were on the other side of the road and got into an argument with my dad about it that distracted me from driving

Jensi - kept forgetting to read the speed limit signs and so whenever my dad asked me what the speed limit was I just made shit up and hoped I was right

Wylie - unable to recognize any roads or directions ever even when we had already gone through them like 3 times
