WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands

[Rikae]

Durelin was out of fireworks for the party scene. In desperation, she broke into the local Pyrotechnics-R-Us after closing time and "borrowed" the requisite supplies. Sadly, she hadn't kept informed about the latest recalls...

...an hour later, the Downers were greeted by a spectacular sight.

"It's a bird!"

"It's a dragon!"

....Durelin circled over the heads of the prostrate cast and crew three times, then turned a somersault and burst over "Bywater" with a deafening explosion.

"That's the signal for supper!" quipped SPM.

Later that night, Lommy prepared to leaver for her night job. She put on her attractive ill-fitting polyester uniform, but left her knife in the trailer. Some other night perhaps she would use it, but tonight she would protect, not kill, one of her fellow downers. The security guard punched in and took up her post in front of one of the trailers...but ere long, she heard a rustling in the bushes behind her.

One balrog may be a match for four Peter Jackson style wargs, but one security guard isn't. While two held her down, the others stitched a pair of tattered batlike wings to her back. Ignoring her shrieks and curses, they dragged the newly winged Lommy to the cliff behind the studio and cast her over the edge.

The wings, though quite lovely, were not terribly effective.

When the 13 remaining members of the cast and crew discovered the wolves' handiwork in the morning, all of them wept openly...but five were gloating in their hearts.

Night 3 is over. Day 3 has begun! Wolves, stop PMing. Everybody talk.

Good luck!
