Things still can change dramatically in the 2/3 of this month left. Do we go up? Do we sink down? There's only one way to influence the outcome. Vote, fellow Readers!

Badger? Dead branch? Kids en route to makeout spot? Freddie Krueger? Any one of those movie franchise zombies in dodgy masks, en route to the makeout spot where the kids are? A policeman checking reports of a man carrying a longsword? A policeman en route to the makeout spot where the kids are?
Another hypothesis is that it’s Mom. She’ll become part of the story and understand when it comes time for Alex to relinquish the throne, that he find a way to transfer himself to Dreamland.
Oh Noes! Mr. Tinkles was Nic’s loyal 32nd in command who has sworn revenge, and Dan and Nicole have led him right to the Chicken of the Sea lady! YOU FOOLS!
Methinks Daniel is about to demonstrate beyond a shadow (pun intended) of a doubt that he does not know how to defend himself properly and does not have the necessary physical skills and prowess to back up his intellect and wisdom. However, I think any wraiths that might be about will grab Nicole as a hostage, since Nivienne will defend Daniel from them.
Then the question becomes, “Will Daniel want to play hero and go rescue his ‘damsel-in-distress’ or will he realize he is neither prepared nor physically apt enough to do the job and have his brother do the heavy lifting while he plans and advises?”
He is a geek. He is one that would try at least swinging it a little. He is one that almost slayed a mighty feline adversary. Also, holding it like that is considerably harder, cause, you know, no balance and too much weight.
No don’t go in the woods, that’s how the chainsaw guy gets you!
Aaaaaand he is holding the sword the wrong way. He is liable to hurt himself before he does damage to anything or anyone else…
PS. If they kidnap Nicole, I will be mightily annoyed.
They should kidnap Niviene, that would be an interesting arc!
That would be interesting! We’d need at least one character to say something like “Go rescue her? Do we have to?”

Good thing it’s a magic sword!
I wonder if the fish portion of her could even survive out of water?
Cats? Evil? There’s a surprise…
Yah my bet is on mom about to get the shock of her life…
I’d think it might be a wraith–except as spirits I wouldn’t think they’d make any sounds.

I’m reminded of Mr. Butterpaws from Luci Phurr’s Imps. see here: http://luciphurrsimps.com/

Well, considering Excalibur seems to turning blue again, may otherwise…
It said ‘crick’. Oh noes, it’s the evil Dr. Crickles! From.. from … well, probably from another story.
I was going to say, Daniel turns suddenly and decapitates Nivienne by accident.
Slapstick comedy is never inappropriate.
I wish there was a ‘like’ button. this made me laugh. 🙂
*crosses fingers* actual danger, please let it be actual danger, not some kitty or badger or raccoon. I want to see the stalker shadows!
Yeah, but we saw those monster thingys on the roof before…they could make noise. Oh noes!
Ooh, danger please! 😀
OMG, I hadn’t even thought of that! Mom sneaking around to keep an eye on her baby boy. That would be priceless.
Does Niviene have cat eyes?
Oh Noes! Mr. Tinkles was Nic’s loyal 32nd in command who has sworn revenge, and Dan and Nicole have led him right to the Chicken of the Sea lady! YOU FOOLS!
Something in the trees. I don’t know why I suddenly wanted to see a smoke monster come out. Would be cool though… 😉
LOST reference FTW! 🙂
Look Out!
What?! What is it?
There!
Behind the rabbit?
No! It Is the rabbit!
Did Niviene give Dan a Holy Hand Grenade as well? That would be Awesome [Sauce]!
Hmmmm, maybe crickets. If we hear horns as well we’ll know who/what it is……………………………………………………………………………….. The smoke monster from LOST!!! whoa
Oh now .. we all know it’s just a cricket .. after all, it said “crick” … just like frogs say “frog .. frog .. ” and stuff …
Edutcation never fails.
I knew it was a matter of time until those shadow beings found them! 😉
Yes, almost as if an American teeneager from the suburbs was no idea how to handle a medieval weapon. Fancy that.

Oh, yay, now they get to be the idiots in horror movies that go to see whats making that noise.
