All quiet on the Dotland Front

Things are very, very quiet in Dotland. Purple is on the sea. Pink is out in a village. Navy is with the buses. Gold is gone (sigh). Without Navy there just isn't as much music although Sage boosts our spirits by dancing. Is the quiet because everyone is waiting for the Black Queen to drop the next shoe? How many shoes does the Black Queen have? Probably fewer pairs of shoes than Silver. But the real question is how many shoes can the Black Queen wear at one time? Is it 2... or is it 8? (Now you're just being catty. It's back in the box for you!)
