Silver was back today looking somewhat tired and bedraggled. "Bad night?" asked Purple. "I caught Fuschia trying to turn my cat into a needlepoint wallhanging. Said she was practicing to turn the Black Queen into a footstool.. Or may it was a toadstool..* Anyway I had to throw her out. And she left such a mess, glitter and pink feathers all over everything!"
Later Silver and Sage went to a meeting with the new IDEA, the Lime Green Knight, and some librarians. GoG was also there which precluded festivities like burning GoG in effigy. The purpose was to discuss Destiny, which Fuschia calls Fate, but Silver sometimes thinks should be called Doom. Silver was dubious about whether the Duchy was really prepared to deal with Doom. She was worried about the ability of the Duchy's many older pigeons to carry all the messages Doom would require. The Lime Green Knight assured everyone that the Duchy's pigeons were in fine form, ready to triumph in the Senior Pigeon Olympics, and more than adequate to the task of dealing with Doom. Fuschia, who had crept back and was hiding in a corner, eavesdropping, muttered "I think the Lime Green Knight has been drinking too much Lime Green Limacol**." The meeting concluded with a lively discussion of censorship and sex among vampires, werewolves, and wererats. (Bet you wish you'd signed up for THAT committee now!!)
