Still plotting her escape, huh?  The Home Depot reference had me genuinely LOL!  And Lucky's "yeah, right, now pull the other one" look.  Great stuff Tirama!

She's only been there 4 days.  Not ready to concede that there's no way back to Beechwood Cove.  Not ready to foresake all creature comforts to be wth Captain Greg.

I can totally understand her not wanting to give up creature comforts!  I can play outside in the mud all day but I want an indoor bathroom, a comfy bed and central heat  and AC when I'm finished playing (or hiking, or whatever).

The kingdom doesn't need AC, the temperature is very temperate.  The beds are comfy enough, Berengaria usually falls asleep right away, she's so tired.  I did a quick check on wikipedia regarding toilets, and since AK seems to be a curious blend of time periods (baseball bats, vinyl records, Seth has a pocket watch but Greg walks around in chain mail and trousers and boots resembling those worn by peasants working in Czarist Russia), I've decided that one of their more creative Goblins has invented indoor plumbing.

What Berengaria is missing is her iPad, laptop and Smart Phone.  And that big honking truck she drove back in Beechwood Cove which gave her more energy and allowed her to carry more stuff.  Not to mention Mac and Cheese, Pizza and Lasagna.
 

You outdid yourself with this one Tirama.  Brava!!  I laughed (really, I did) I got slightly anxious, I volunteered to haul Quinn and Mr Vanderkins down to that dungeon....  Loved it!

Early on it sounded as though B had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.  But everything came out at the end.  Just a guess but was creepy guy by any chance dissing B?

lol  No.  I meant that B and Captain Greg were, ahem, "friends" again!   (a proper kiss)
