Mist's Diary: Eve of the River King Festival
I can't sleep, even with a few pints of the taverns good cider in me. Note to self: never order the special! Dress rehearsal for the River King festivities went off without a hitch. Chitter lent us her houseboat for stage. We're thinking of repainting it as a thank you.
Sozria was so showing off, wearing a brand-new cream blouse over her rehearsal costume when we went to the tavern. As if it wouldn't get all over sweaty and stained. She ended up losing one of the buttons too. Shame, really.
She was snarky as always, coming up with malicious reasons for me getting the lead solo. She even tied in Vardaga, as if we were best buds! He helped me once, and I didn't even ask for it. I can't stand the thief.
But tomorrow's performances aren't what's keeping me awake. A Tortle came in. Sobi, I think was his name. He'd brought a stranger from the Wilderness, a full-grown adult! Not like any creature we'd ever seen, either. Prof. Klauss said he must have just appeared, like babies do, and Sobi is now responsible for him (poor Sobi!).
I'm not sure the stranger, Hi, is quite right in the head. He calls himself a king, as if he were a fey god, and insists we all must have heard of him. He talks to his lizard, too. Maybe he's a wizard or something, and it is his familiar.
It's got me thinking, though. We've never had an adult appear here in Bunny Grotto before. And this Hi speaks of a village, of others like him. How could there be another village? There's nothing but the Wilderness, right? Can even the Wilderness go on forever, though? Maybe we aren't the only village.
It makes me wonder what things might be like, outside. I mean, I love dancing, and I'm already the best soloist in Velvet Mists Troupe. But then what? What if there is more? What could I be then?
Quill's letter is sitting on my dressing table, still waiting for an answer. I could ask him about the Wilderness, if he thinks there might be a Beyond. But then, he'd think I was interested. Am I? He's so strange, devoting himself to the nature spirits, as if they couldn't take care of themselves! And he's so scruffy! Still, he is kind, and funny, and maybe a haircut would suit him.
Too much for me to think about, frankly. I should try to get some sleep before the big day!
P.S.: My newest button in my collection is gold, with a design of intertwining vines. I quite like it.
