That sudden return to full size was quite a surprise as was the ride on the large carpet. As soon as we got back, I did what I could to help with Grim before heading to see Buddy. Wickerbat and Cash wouldn’t leave Grim’s side once she was settled so I got them a bit of food and water. Then, I discreetly tossed the pills and headed outside and called Buddy.

He came as soon as I called him and we were both happy to see each other. He was all over me with excitement and kisses.

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the direction of the tea room. When I looked up, there were cats and dogs being ejected from there by a broom, correction, PTG’s broom. To shocked to react, all I could do was watch the cruelty taking place. I saw them herded to the pet enclosure and locked in.

Without thinking about it, I headed to the tea room to give PTG a piece of my mind. As I entered, Charlie was already at it so I stood next to the door and just watched what was going on as I seethed with anger. It was a pleasure to see PTG get scared, quickly clean up the mess he caused and retreat.

After he was gone, that was when I realized that there had been changes made. I liked the new look with the 2 bars and the mini dining area that must have been for the gnomes.

I had forgotten that Buddy was still with me and to my surprise, he sat nicely and quietly next to me until I turned and nearly stepped on him. Remembering that the guards were gone, I took Buddy to our room, it was time to get my belongings, find a tent and camp out.

HUMMM, I think BOTH PTG and CAP'N RANDY, although very welcome back, are in for a bit of a rude surprise upon their return.

It would be so sweet of PTG to gather his wits about himself, and prepare to give The Cap'n a report about all of the changes to the Tea House, it's new owner, and it's new occupants, not to say the least, the NEW menagerie of hoofs, paws, feathers, fur, and just about any other "animaly-type" creature that has taken refuge there, ESPECIALLY BIG KITTY. I do so love kitties, big and little, don't you

Since PTG could not continue to provide the protective barrier while assisting with unloading Grim, he knew they had to hurry with getting everyone safe inside ..... especially, since he heard a very LOUD rumbling in the direction of the Dark Tower ..... SOMEONE had noticed their escape!
Seeker burst into the Tea Room ... he had already become his enlarges size of 4 foot 8 inches, so everyone in the room had no problem seeing him......none of them had seen Seeker so frazzled, concerned, upset, and ..... frightened!

PTG heard the commotion and came out of Grim's room to investigate.

I'm so glad all of you made it back safely, but in the end, it will not matter. Adrian has become enraged at the rescue of Grim and he is throwing a MAJOR temper tantrum, the likes of which no one has ever seen...... The ground already breaks away from the Palace Square in the East; the Fairy Forest is seeing numerous signs of destruction; the Dark Tower itself has the ground in front of it in embers at Anabel's feet and the Iron Knight is faced with crumbling stairs up to the Guest Room.

The Chapel ceiling has fallen in......and the Tavern has even been hit (OH, what has happened to that Armored Bear should be punishable by death!) ..... The Castle is already crumbling on the outside ..... the floor in the Castle Entry is disintegrating...... even the Ice Rock is being destroyed.

And the Throne Hall...... the head has been returned to the Eagle and it is breathing fire ..... soon to break free from its statue nature and become a flying destroyer.

The Gnomes have packed and departed to other lands only the last few remain until I return ..... I urge each of you to do your best to gather your animals and belongings ...... see if someone can contact Captain Randy so his Dragon can open the portal for your escape.

You only have a few days left!


With that, Seeker quickly departed to join his remaining clan members as they left for a more secure land.

Just as Seeker flees out the door, PTG hears the familiar buzzing next to his ear .... His Fairy Godmother has come to his rescue! ..... but then she speaks:

My dear, dear Playingthegame......how I wish I could use my magic wand to do battle with Adrian, but he is far more powerful than even the Genie and I am when combined. There is nothing we can do to prevent this destruction. He has given an ultimatum that Grim must be returned to him .... and you have 2 weeks in which to comply. Yet, Grim must never be sacrificed because after he gets her, he will carry out his destruction anyway.

AND there is no way for us (the Genie and me) to leave through any magic portal that your Captain's dragon can provide for you.

So, please, please ..... take heed to Seeker's warning.....you have only 2 weeks to make your arrangements.

I shall miss you beyond words, my beloved god son!


With tears in her eyes..... Playingthegame's Godmother flew toward the East to at least be with the Genie when the end arrived.

Surprisingly, Buddy and I made it to my room unbothered. While he nosed around, I pile my stuff on the bed and get out the travel bag I used to bring my stuff. I packed it all in there and closed it up. Then, I gathered the few things that I have for Buddy and packed them in the extra spaces. Taking a last look around, I say goodbye to my room.

“Come on, Buddy, lets go.” We head back down to the tea room and arrive just in time to hear Seeker’s announcement/warning. With Buddy sticking close to me, I head to an empty chair and sit down. Looking around the room, I spot the carpet bag where I left it and get up and retrieve it. Now, all I need is a place to go and a plan to get there, but first, I need a snack and a drink.

Getting up again, I head to the coffee bar and order a caramel latte and grab a pastry and a serving of the pavlova. When I nearly drop my snack getting the coffee, the cup appears to rise on it’s own. “Okay, follow me” I say and go back to my chair. The ghost gives me the coffee after I set the snack down on the light table next to the chair, “Thank you,” I say but because I can’t see or hear them, I have no idea if there is a response or if the ghost is still there. Enjoying my needed food and drink, I try thinking about what I am going to do but just can’t bring myself to even consider permanently leaving.

If PTG got so bent out of shape seeing all the furry inhabitants of the castle in the tea room, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their human friends, what on earth is he going to say/do when he discovers the pride of lions basking in their new home.

Lexandre Lion, the leader is already pacing up and down at the outrage committed by what he called "That bunch of Sticks tied together" brushing his new pals out of the tea room.

He has arranged for Pollylinguista Parrot from the Summer Garden to come and teach all the animals the "Safe" word to use when the meet one of the lions on patrol.

Now we have more devastating news regard our castle and our game friends. "What Next?" I ask myself. If we must vacate this area however will I find the map of tunnels, and how will I ever be able to deliver it to PTG,

I received a message from Sebastien.

"The inmates of the Special Room are in danger.

Annaleise is furious."

I asked Sebastien to transport me back …

.. and was immediately bowled over by Big Kitty.

Sebastien helped me up and led me over to a chair. Blackie and Chris jumped up in my lap (not you, Big Kitty) and soon all three were purring. Becki came over and handed me a cup of coffee.

Sebastien pulled up a chair and sat down facing me. He then calmly filled me in on the situation with Adrian. But that was the least of his concerns.

Annaleise in her zeal to help me and the other inmates had pushed the management of MC too far. In order to recapture the inmates, and rid themselves once and for all of Annaleise and her “glitches;” they have decided to shut down all the access portals to the Castle. No longer would a player be able to immerse themselves in the world of MC. They would open the game, play, may spend some money, and leave. Midnight Castle would then become a simple game. Just like any other.

Or as Annaleise would say, boring.

And of the inmates of the Special Room? Even if they defeated Adrian, they would become frozen in time as the last portal closed. Their exploits will be there for future generations of MC players to read (if they are interested).

But unlike Sebastien, Becki and the other ghostly deleted players, there will be no one to come by to wake them up and bring them back to life.

There will be only oblivion. And Sebastien, for one, was having none of that.

“I can always send you back to the Real World. However, neither I, Big Kitty, the kittens nor the others can come with you. I have been practicing with the mirror, seeing if I can find a portal to a plane of alternate reality where our story can continue. The ghost players have been packing up the Secret Library in readiness to move on. And maybe Annaleise has one final major glitch up her sleeve.”

Annaleise appeared and smiled.

I looked at the three ghosts before me. I then looked around at the other inmates and wondered what they were going to do.

Where am I?

Who am I?

And what ON EARTH AM I WEARING?


The last thing I remember is a red cloak.

And a bunny.

I need answers. I need a place to find them. Also a sandwich.

Wait, no, it appears I am a ghost. I have no need for sandwiches.

But I still want to find that bunny.

And a better outfit.

Something tragic is happening. The world is at stake. I have to do something.

"OOH! I know! I'll write a poem!"

Something about awaiting the dawn...

I have just listened to and tried to digest what my Fairy Godmother has been telling me.
I am be.... be..... be.... (rf. Pal Joey and Frank Sinatra!)
I had thought that the crumbling castle around our ears were forces of evil but not of such a diabolical kid as Adrian.
Even with Cap'n Bob and his troops in our sister Realm are insufficient to combat him in full combat mode.
I need to think!
AND I need to rescue a certain rabbit who I deposited last Spring for safe keeping with her brothers and sisters in my Spring Room!
So with a heavy heart as I sip my hong cha (so beautifully made by our new tea lady) I change my Spring Rooms to number one and call gently to the hidden bunny.
"Hoppyy, Hoppy wherever you are please come out now and let me take you to the Castle
"But first there is somewhere I would like us to visit before we go there"
A very shy but extremely intelligent smll hop-a-long emerges from behind her friends and leaps into my arms and smothers me with kisses. It is a year since we last met and our feelings are mutual.

Gently I gather her up and tell my magical broom to take us to the Fairy Forest and the HOS site of the Red and White Roses.

There in the background amid all the flotsam and jetsam of HOS inventory is a small stone in the ground.

It is a highly polished tombstone, which the gnomes had made for me and is a beautiful piece of carved Carrera marble.



~~~~~~~~~~In Memory of Jenny Wren ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Free Spirit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Beloved Lunatic~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Fashionista~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~Demolition Enthusiast~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~Militant Critter Lover~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AND Poet~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~We will never see her kind again~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~And no one should~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we look down on the stone wetting it with our tears, I get the impression of breezes swirling aound us that are not from this world.

"Time to return to the Tea Room
"And to prepare for the last battle!"

AM BREEZE THAT IS NOT TRUE. HAVE YOU GHOSTLY FRIENDS COME TO ME I MAY HAVE A WAY FOR THEM TO LEAVE HERE AND CONTINUE AS THEY ARE. BUT I WILL HAVE TO TELL THEM MY PLAN. IT WILL WORK. I KNOW IT WILL. I CAN FEEL IT WILL. I ALWAYS TRUST MY FEELINGS IN THESE THINGS.

SEBASTIEN, BECKI, ANNALEISE, AND MAYBE EVEN BIG KITTY I AM QUITE FOND OF HER.

NOW TELL ME IF YOU THINK THIS WILL NOT WORK. WE ALL GO TO THE ENCLOSURE WHERE THE PETS ARE. ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS FROM AMONG THE LARGER PETS. IF THE PET AGREE THEN ALL THE GHOSTS HAVE TO DO IS ENTER THEM DO NOT TAKE OVER BUT JUST STAY QUIET. WHEN WE LEAVE THE PETS GO WITH US. AND THUS THE GHOSTS. THE THINGS THEY HAVE PACKED IN THE LIBRARY CAN BE SENT AHEAD ONCE WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING.

OH ANNALEISE I HOPE YOU CAN FIT INTO EGOR. YOU AND HE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. HE LIKES TO CAUSE AS MUCH TROUBLE AS POSSIBLE.

I KNOW HE IS NOT VERY LARGE BUT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN I MIGHT JUST BRING HIM TO THE TEA ROOM. MAYBE NOT SINCE WE NEED PTG TO GET US OUT OF HERE. HE IS ABOUT OUR ONLY HOPE OF STAYING TOGETHER.

PLEASE IF YOU DO WANT TO JOIN WITH EGOR TRY TO CONTAIN YOURSELF TILL WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME. I HAVE AN ELEPHANT, A MAMOTH, AND A PONY HERE. BECKI I THINK BABY THE MAMMOTH WILL BE A MATCH FOR YOU SHE HAS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ALL OVER HER. SEBASTIEN, BEAU THE BABY ELEPHANT MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU. BIG KITTY, I DO NOT HAVE A LARGE CAT BUT I KNOW YOU CAN BE WITHOUT FORM AS CAN BREEZE. SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO JOIN WITH GRIFF. THE GRIFFON,

SO BREEZE WHAT DO YOU THINK. I KNOW MY ANIMALS WILL VOLUNTEER,

I AM SURE IF THE GHOSTS PROMISE NOT TO TAKE THEM OVER OTHERS WILL VOLUNTEER TO HELP THEM.
