Madame Zelda popped into this timeline Saturday to visit with myself and Sybil Berclay Merchant. As we all know madame Zelda is the purveyor of inconvenient truths. She also trains komodo dragons and raises the finest of circus rabbits. However after an unfortunate accident with escaped rabbits and the dragons, (Don't ask. Just be assured that a new breed called drabbits now exists.) she felt in need of a little vacation. We enjoyed a musical evening and the finest of libations.
Madame Zelda sees the inconvenient truth that she is highly unphotogenic! That aside, all are encouraged to feast their eyes on Madame Zelda's lovely costume, thanks to the superior needlework and haberdashery skills of Ms. Felicity Cogsworth!
ReplyDeleteAnother not so inconvenient truth is that we, the crew of the Luscious Bounty, owe our unabashed gratitude to one Admiral of the War Fleet, who (although he usually prefers to remain in the background) has contacted Madame Zelda to inform the ladies of the Guild that many more adventures will be coming their way in the near future.. perhaps involving other airships or conveyances - you never know with these admirals. Suffice it to say that the Admiral lives close to Madame Zelda and his Day of Reckoning will come (or something like that)! The Admiral may even have met certain Luscious Bounty crew members while disguised as a common drunkard in order to assess their pirating skills. With a little coaxing, he may yet reveal his true identity!
Madame Zelda adds that she much enjoyed her visit with Felicity Cogsworth and Sybil Barclay Merchant, wherein there was much reminiscing about the "good old days" when we weren't good and we weren't old! There was some indulging in the Guild's signature libation, the Purple Hooter, which resulted in much mirth and dizziness. Currently she is putting finishing touches on rebuilding the rabbit and komodo dragon quarters with gnaw-proof Unobtanium, and consulting local alchemists for the best flame-proof material for the drabbits. Madame Zelda looks forward with great anticipation to the Sept. 8 steampunk invasion of Salem, MA!
ReplyDeleteAh, take care with those pens. I too look forward to the crew being together. This summer has seen everyone in far flung adventures with few meetings of the "minds" so to speak. We will make the Salem steampunkers take notice of the Guild. MWHAHA. Oh dear, I seem to have spent to much time with the evil professor this season.
ReplyDeleteBest,
