#SimsbyNight - Episode 20 (Part II): "The Pale Queen's Wrath & Jeanette's Kitten"
← PREVIOUS | TABLE OF CONTENTS| BEGINNING | NEXT →
The coterie enters the Paranormal Museum of Copperdale:
Amy inspects a menacing lineup of garden gnomes.
Suzana observes portraits of Claude René Duplantier Guidry, silently analyzing his death aura.
Rebecca finds a display labeled “Specter in a Jar”.
Leslie stares at a gilded frame of Vlad Straud, eyes narrowing.
Amy (again) finds haunted dolls.
"Of course she does."
Suzana stands before an ominous collection of ceramic jars.
Rebecca examines haunted clay hands, one twitching in her direction.
Leslie lingers at a portrait of vampire lovers, looking thoughtful.
(At last, they find it: the Necklace of the Pale Queen)
(Rebecca reaches out and lifts it gently.)
(She emerges)
"Who dares disturb my rest?”
"Okay! We are quoting Skyrim now"
“That which is mine cannot be stolen... not without price!"
"We came seeking knowledge, not conquest. Let us speak before we fight."
"Or fight then flirt. I’m open-minded."
"Please don’t let this be another blood-vomiting banshee."
"If it is, I call first punch."
(Suzana and the Pale Queen prepare for an epic fight)
"You tremble with borrowed power. You think you understand me, witchling?"
But instead of casting, Suzana breathes deeply, and teaches the Queen something forgotten: how to breathe again.
The tension dissolves. The Pale Queen listens. Then laughs. Then remembers.
A peace is struck. The necklace is released. A secret is shared.
Back to the Asylum, the Coterie meets with Jeanette, instead of Therese:
"How odd, I was just having naughty thoughts about you. You made quite an impression earlier. Did you come up just to cheer lonely, little me?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
"Really? Do I often pogostick through your thoughts wearing nothing but a smile? Be honest... or don't."
"All the time, Jeanette. What do I do in your thoughts?"
"What all suede kittens do... on hands and knees, you lap up the milk of me... and we purr, kitten, like dragonflies buzzing around frog bellies."
"Kinky."
"So... Therese told me you might be back with something for her. Do you have it with you?"
"This will make her happy, but... I’m not done with you."
"My darling cat, Cheshire, has gone missing. I’ve looked everywhere—under beds, on rooftops, in other people’s memories. Nothing."
"He was last seen prowling around the Pet Cemetery on Deadgrass Isle, in Brindleton Bay. Such a spooky, deliciously cursed place. Would you be a bunch of dears and fetch him for me? You’ll know him. He's got glowing eyes, a smile, and the personality of a doomed poet."
Next Episode: "Cheshire's Capers & Pisha's Proposal" – One feline, one graveyard, endless chaos.
Is Cheshire really a cat—or something worse?
Will Jeanette reward them with gratitude—or further unholy flirtation?
Can Rebecca resist adopting all the ghost pets?
Answers tomorrow! Same Bat-time, same Bat-Tumblr acCount!🧛 (pun intended)
