One can only hope that there will be much more to this. In a Pinhead meets Glee kind of way. :twisted:

Tara was outwardly centered almost the entire adventure, seeking the voice calling for help and upon finding the teddy bear immediately picking it up to look for its owner. Jordan was self-centered most of the adventure, looking out for #1. Since Tara was already a halfway decent person she did not have nor need the epiphany that Jordan got.

I, too, wonder what happened to the teddy bear. Was it just a sign that nothing bad would happen to Tara because she was proving to be a nice person? Or will there be some follow up where we find out that the mantis-demon-thingy piggybacked a ride out with her? It's very sweet that she's concerned about the bear though. :)

I find it interesting that neither of them seem to remember anything except how they "felt" . . .or how their actions made Devyn feel--same thing.

and I noticed that both Tara and Jordan were given the same situation in Devyns magical world, but their actions/in-actions caused them to take different paths. I can't help but wonder what would have happened to Jordan if she had been nicer to the "kid" and had offered help and comfort instead of calling her stupid.

I doubt the teddy bear left the magical world as it wasn't real to begin with.

Jordan seems to be in a hurry to go make amends by apologizing to Devyn, or jumping off a bridge--not sure which.

I'm hoping it is apologizing because I can just see her running up to Devyn and Atsali and babbling on about how sorry she is, etc. and Atsali asking Devyn "What did you do to her" the response (too easy) "Do? I didn't "DO" anything . . ."

I'm thinking that Tara redeemed herself by following the call for help with the intention to actually help instead of trying to find Jordan right away... showing that inside she is really a good person, just a follower. Perhaps losing the bear and giving her that bit of sadness is a point that she is still missing or hasn't really had the time to realize yet.

We're too late, Doctor- the disease has metasisized throughout the body! I'm even getting positive signs from the far-flung Ilses of Langderham! We'll need a full body purge- get... the BARNEY TAPES!!!

PS- Mindscrubbers won't survive the autoclave- we use a 12 minute soak in gluteradehyde with a sterile water rinse.

But the lyrics are altered to fit the characters and setting(s). It's ALL filked with the exception of one or two songs taken hilarious out of context.

Mind I'd argue that looking for your friend is more important than some random voice but hey, this is a fantasy story.

http://twolumps.net/d/20081008.html - or, how having a purple monkey dishwasher as a guide can lead to an epic adventure into Otherwhere that's a bit like what Tara and Jordan have just experienced.

Let's not drag Clint Eastwood into this one...

But I would rather listen to Paint Your Wagon ANY day over the purple pseudo-Dino thing. Thank the deities that my daughter was not a fan.

i don't remember exactly where my roommates younger son heard her talking about how she REALLY hated Spongebob, and that she was glad that the older son (by two years) had not acquired the taste for that show, but the words "Devil" in combination with "Spongebob Squarepants is the:" were uttered.... TIME SKIP... a few years later, he's in kindergarten and the class was going to be watching an episode of a show for a rainy-day recess or something (i forget exactly why) but when the show that they were going to watch was said to be that one, he stood up and claimed that he wasn't allowed to watch that show because "Spongebob Was The Devil"... Heather got a phone call AT WORK shortly after that from the school staff about that one... when she came home that night and told us about it, we all cracked up... at the time she was talking to the staff, she was embarrassed as all get out, but afterwards she laughed with the rest of us...

I once put a LARGE stuffed Barney out on the long (pfff! LONG? only 200 yards...) range and told everyone it was an 'open target'. Red flag went up, RM called 'OPEN' and told us we 'may engage your targets'.

The opening volley sounded like full auto fire- and most of the rifles were turnbolts. In less than ten seconds, there was nothing but fluff and bits of purple. Twelve shooters with a determined hatred of Barney- you had to be there to appreciate it
