Being a Koi, I was thrilled when our owner announced we were moving to Maraqua! She'd been thinking about it ever since the war, especially as the new city is so enchanting; but the advent of Underwater Fishing is what hooked her, so to speak. She was very taken with several of the underwater gardening items which, it seemed to her, would "feel" much better in a truly aquatic environment (Grey Garden - grnd.:0,0 and Halloween in Maraqua - grnd.:1,0). Besides, she adores me, and knows how I've longed for the pleasure of Swimming down Main Street (grnd.:3,4), which now I can do every day!
So the decision was made, planning and building began, and here we are at last. My owner told me and my siblings that she would build or buy whatever we wanted in our new home. And being an absolute pushover for the slightest whim of her beloved little "pixel piles" (she won't tell us what "pixels" are...hmm...), she gave us everything we asked for - a combination of cozy and fun, with a bit of elegance thrown in - and then some: the place has pretty well been taken over by snorkles, zomutts and larnikins. There is plenty of room for all, however (more critters = more fun) and we indulge her, as she thinks she is funny and we don't want to burst her bubble. There is one snorkle that I especially like, the one surrounded by spyders in the spooky room ("Tell me you're still behind me, Snork..."-fl.2:1,2). Do not misunderstand me, I laugh til I cry, but I do feel for the little critter. (Snork has fled, as you can see in Safe again in the play parlour!-fl.2:2,2).
We all love our own rooms (they "fit" us), which surround the Common Room: a chat before sleeping (fl.1:2,2), but we have several other favorites as well:
"Last basket for the sleigh!" (fl.1:4,0)
Santa's Little Sweat Shop (fl.1:3,0)
EVERYbody loves ghost stories! (grnd.:2,3)
Sandager and Friends (grnd.:1,4)
Got purple? (fl.2:2,1)
Circling the burgers! (grnd.:3,3)
I'd rather watch YOU than the movie! (fl.2:3,2)
"Feed me! Feed me! Feed me!" (grnd.:2,1)
Kitchen Lilac Garden (grnd.:2,0)
Back Porch Garden (grnd.:1,3)
One of my personal favourites, for obvious reasons, is "Surprise, kitty!" (grnd.:2,4)
We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do, and know you are welcome to visit any time...in fact, we're having a BIG birthday bash on the back porch (grnd.:1,2) right now, and YOU'RE invited!
