In Memoriam

The Gazette notes the passing of Glacier Sundae, sold at the Starlight Auction to a bidder from Mossmire. It fetched a tidy sum and one gasp.

Steeped Scone vanished near the Mirror of Maybes. Sprinkles_Bun believes it is inside the glass, trying on colors.

Remembering Triple Decker Club, who fell down a well in Cogwhistle. It still sends up the occasional bubble.

Ask Stargazer Wren

Letters reach the Observatory by Pigeon Post. Wren reads each one with his eggshell helmet pushed back.

costume_crisis writes: “What should my Glimling dress as this year?”

A comet is easy: one tail and a lot of confidence. If it sulks, it can go as a very small black hole.

glubblelover2003 writes: “Is it true that Glubbles can breathe on land?”

Yes. They just choose to look worried about it. I have charted the worry; it peaks on Tuesdays.

soup_enthusiast writes: “What is the secret ingredient in the Kindly Kettle?”

I am sworn to secrecy. I will only say it glows in the dark, and that I can see it from up here.
