Chapter 12 - Nellie
Odd fact, Jeannette and I never formalized our
love. It may have had something to do with that restraining
order? Who knows? Nellie and I -- on the other hand and
subsequent to this writing of this production -- did in fact become
something of an item. Of course, you would never have suspected
as much from the way I abuse her during this story. Me? I
figure Pixies must live by the motto: keep your friends close and
enemies closer. ‘Cause we be plenty close about now.
Anyway, if you want to learn more about Nellie, read the chapter.
It’s all about her, and me, and her boyfriend at the time, and the cops
that finally come in response to Jeannette’s emergency call to the
police that she placed a few thousand words back.
Chapter 13 - Hu’at!
Just in case you’re curious, Hu’at is the Goblin
word for anything that is edible that is not also a Goblin. So
basically, if you’re not a Goblin, you’re a Hu’at. That’s the
first point. The second is that there are not very many Goblins
working for the Rigor Pass Police Department. Not very many, at
all. Actually, only the one. And the good folks down at the
RPPD are doing everything they can to get rid of that one. So,
it’s like either a testament to his dedication or a testament to the
Rigor Pass PD’s general ineptitude that he’s still on the force.
I hear he made Captain, recently. Of course, that doesn’t change
the fact that he’s still a Goblin or that his Goblin brethren consider
him a Hu’at. But then, in truth, Hank (the aforementioned Goblin
Police Officer) is a bit character of no lasting importance. And
most of this chapter takes place out on patrol with Larry Magma --
dedicated police officer and fanatic toy collector. Oh, and just
by-the-by, that last will figure prominently in the story later
on. But for now, best to simply enjoy the ride.
