Chapter 15: TIBBAR
Alice did not notice anything after she took the pill, besides the fact that the music began again. She looked around, and noticed a light blink on in the distance. She walked towards it, and as the light got larger, the music got louder.
As she got there, her eyes began to comprehend shapes, not quite human, moving around, silhouetted against a light, shining through a tent. They appeared to have wooden limbs and body parts, with ropes trailing from every moving part, a squeak of a pulley every time their limbs moved.
As Alice got closer, she noticed an old-school phonograph that was playing the pill song over and over again. As she neared the tent, the phonograph scratched over to a new record, one with dialogue, with the creepy music playing in the background.
“Ah! Hello!” The first figure said in an exaggerated, scripted tone. “I am Ecila.”
“And I am Tibbar.” Said the other, in an equally overdone voice.
“Is it not amazing,”Tibbar said. “That any person who is so fortunate, or unfortunate, as to be near us when we have these conversations, can have their future and ultimate end foretold by us?”
“T’is indeed, Tibbar!”
"I'm sure this knowledge will greatly help any nearby people." Tibbar said.
"I estimate that the person in question is destined to be a great leader, in a land they know nothing about, but have always lived here. They will rise to the peak of their life, but then will be smiten to the ground."
"This land is dangerous, it's backwards, an anagram, in an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, with a side dish of murder and sorrow."
"I'm afraid, Tibbar."
"As am I, Ecila, as am I."
