"I'd Like to Have You Over for Dinner Sometime"

Creed sent the following report to TMN:

Hail, Para!

Your enterprising reporter has a couple of new items of interest for readers of TMN.

Strange doings continue in TC. Not long ago, I entered the social center of Puddleby to find everyone asleep or at least lying down. What happened? Did deadly poppies sprout unexpectedly? Had Tara been through with a plate of wuv muffins? Inquiring minds want to know.

The second report is much more serious.

Yosaku and Chance both report that the Grey Arachnoid guarding the upper/northeast chamber of the noids cavern has begun to speak on occasion. Chance provided several sketches. This creature does not always speak, but when it does, it repeats several phrases much like its counterpart in the main noids chamber.

If anyone else has heard this noid speak, or has any insight into this situation, please comment! Chance did notice that several of the phrases reminded her of the poem about the spider and the fly—i.e. "Come into my parlor . . . " Chance and Yosaku have speculated whether skeins of silk will finally have a use.

By the way, Chance would like to add that she was not yelling "Yes!" to the noid in the sketch below—she was answering another exile who asked if she was all right. :-)

Cheers!
