I was shopping in Sainsbury's, looking for food I'm allowed to eat. I asked this guy a couple of time - I'd asked him how to find stuff on previous trips too. So then he starts asking me stuff, and it turns out he's a journalist. So, with some mates of mine, we go and have a chat. We're now in this huge manor house, with him and his two aunts.

We start to get the feeling something's up, so we decide to escape. The 'we' here is myself, the girl in charge (average height, shortish dark hair, strong cheekbones), her brother (tall, strong, fit, and called Jason) and another bloke (shorter, lighter, wetter than Jason, but the funny one). So we end up on this balcony, with no obvious way to climb down. Then we notice this rope hanging past us. Turns out, it's Rapunzel's hair, except Rapunzel is a bloke. And under some sort of love spell, because he falls for he not-Jason bloke very quickly.

We climb down his hair (he cuts it off, then jumps down) and sit on this bench at the bottom of the wall. Because, we figure, they're already looking for us in the wood. I worry we'll be found anyway, because there's CCTV aroundd the house, but the othes insist on staying.

We see the aunts coming out of the wood, and they spot us. It's a scrubby, sparse wood, mostly deciduous (sp?). So we leg it round to the other side of the house, but they catch up really quickly. We keep running, across this meadow, which is very uneven and wild. The aunts start using tranquiiser guns. I make it to the thicker pine woods on the other side of the meadow, barely, but of course they're still following us. They can follow us by smell because they're dogs (which /of course/ has been true all the way through, despite having only just changed this second). Jason has escaped too, and we're both wolves. We're currently separted. We both make it to the stream at different points, mark our territory on the near bank, cross over and run in huge semicircles, meeting each other in the middle. When we both reach the stream again, now where the other crossed it for the first time, we swim in it towards each other.

Having laid this confusing trail, we make our way back towards the house. Everybody's human now, and always has been. We circle the house. In each corner is a surveying device. that Jason bemoans he never learnt how to used. I show him, and on one of the devices there's the little dog that belongs to the aunts. We know it's going to give away that we were there, so we tie it up in the device and hoist it into the air. We somehow get a message to the aunts to let them know it's there.

We go back to the side of the house hnear the pine forest. The meadow is now a nice rolling lawn. We think about chucking grandmother (an urn full of ashes) across the lawn and telling them to fetch her, but she breaks on landing. So we decide that's a stupid plan, and it's not like we were ever had the urn anyway. So off we run across the lawn, following a nice even path. Back into hte wood, and across the stream.

Suddenly, one of the aunts is there! She knows where we've been all along! She shows us a wooden set of steps I hadn't noticed among the trees, and we climb it. It leads to a viewing platform over the stream, quite long, with lots of people on it. She explains this all happened because we're part of the family (which makes me wonder what journalist boy was at the beginning), it was a sort of test. It's a little disappointing, and rather confusing.



That was fun ^_^

... except it took so long to type up I missed Toast before he left for work :(
