Don't Let the Isopod Drive the Train

Hi! I'm the train driver! Listen, I've got to leave for a little while, so can you watch things for me until I get back?

Thanks!

Oh, and Remember, Don't Let the Isopod Drive the Train

We thought he'd never leave.

Hey.

Can I drive the train?

Pleeaasee?

We'll be careful.

We'll tell you what, we'll just steer.

Our cousin drives a train almost every day! (Note, no, none of their cousins do)

True story.

VROOM VROOM VROOOM, Isopod at the wheel!

No?

We never get to do *Anything*

Hey! We have an idea! Let's play 'Drive the Train!' We'll go first!

C'mon, just once around the block!

I'll be your best friend

How 'bout I give you five bucks?

..... No fair.

What's the big deal?

I bet your mom would let me. (Note: She did not. Yes that is my mom they are asking)

I have dreams you know!

Fine.

(Wait, that's not right)

Ha fixed.

(Note: They're moping)

Heeeyyy I'm back! You didn't let the isopod drive the train, did you?

Great! Thanks a lot.

Bye!

Heyyyy would you look at that....

Three mice drinking from the same puddle

[svenson777]

Imagine the despair of the magician when he awoke and the bronze ring was nowhere to be found! But by that time our three mice had set sail with their prize. A favoring breeze was carrying them toward the island where the queen of the mice was awaiting them. Naturally they began to talk about the bronze ring. "Which of us deserves the most credit?" they cried all at once. "I do," said the blind mouse, "for without my watchfulness our boat would have drifted away to the open sea." "No, indeed," cried the mouse with the cropped ears; "the credit is mine. Did I not cause the ring to jump out of the man's mouth?" "No, it is mine," cried the lame one, "for I ran off with the ring." And from high words they soon came to blows, and, alas! when the quarrel was fiercest the bronze ring fell into the sea. "How are we to face our queen," said the three mice "when by our folly we have lost the talisman and condemned our people to be utterly exterminated? We cannot go back to our country; let us land on this desert island and there end our miserable lives." No sooner said than done. The boat reached the island, and the mice landed. The blind mouse was speedily deserted by her two sisters, who went off to hunt flies, but as she wandered sadly along the shore she found a dead fish, and was eating it, when she felt something very hard. At her cries the other two mice ran up. "It is the bronze ring! It is the talisman!" they cried joyfully, and, getting into their boat again, they soon reached the mouse island. It was time they did, for the captain was just going to land his cargo of cats, when a deputation of mice brought him the precious bronze ring. ~ An illustration by H.J. Ford for the story "The Bronze Ring" from the 1889 edition of 'The Blue Fairy Book'. Edited by Andrew Lang. "The Bronze Ring" is the first story in 'The Blue Fairy Book' by Andrew Lang. According to Lang's preface, this version of this fairy tale from the Middle East or Central Asia was translated and adapted from 'Traditions Populaires de l'Asie Mineure' by Carnoy & Nicolaides (Paris: Maison-neuve, 1889).

How to keep mice out of my room

[isopodshenanigans]

Part two of our meeting some other stuffed animals, now meeting the three mice my mom made and using some of their cool playsets! Expect to see at least one more of these at some point. Excuse the day late-ness, I fully forgot to do this yesterday.

First off, we got some little guys on a super neat plane, the white mouse(they don't have names yet, I'll update this when they do) standing off to the side. Axo is on the bottom of the left side of the wings, Cosmic looks like they're trying to get up onto the right side of the wing, Isolotl and Ace are ontop of the wings, and Squishy is just visible on the back of the plane near the tailfin.

Extra shots of the plane, one of the plane from the top, showing that Kitsune is in the little cockpit, and then one directly from the front, with all isopods in the same position and the mouse just moved slightly forward to stay in frame.

Some individual little camping activities, Cosmic trying to roast a tiny marshmallow on a stick over an equally itty bitty fire, and then Squishy and Kitsune in a little canoe, and Ace peeping out of the window of the tent.

Looks like we got another little mouse joining us! A little grey mouse to go with the white one! It's a little scene around the campfire, the white mouse with a guitar, Squishy with the marshmallow stick, and everyone else just hanging out around the fire. Next to the white mouse is Kitsune, then Axo, Cosmic, Isolotl, Ace, then Squishy and the grey mouse, then back to white. A sleeping bag is just visible in the corner, with the tent and the canoe in the background.

All the isopods hiding out in the tent for the night! They're a little scared of things coming along to eat them, they are awfully small after all.

Looks like Isolotl and Axo are being little weirdos, with Isolotl sitting ontop of the poor mouse just trying to sleep in their sleeping bag. Axo is propped up against the side, maybe they want up too? Too bad they can't both fit up there.

Isolotl once more being a little weirdo and watching the grey mouse sleep in their little suitcase, while Axo, Ace, and Cosmic hang out in the pocket actually meant for clothes.
