Adventuring out using Jimmy's map to navigate myself around the grounds familiarising myself with my surroundings, wandering out into the thick long grass lining the forest to the open1 field where the camp is. Laying in the grass feeling the wind breeze flow through the grass surrounding me, picking strains of grass peeling the strains in to thinner strips. I'm not entirely sure why, I'm just enjoying the moment of quiet as I have a moment to myself. It's one of the strangest things now, having people around all the time. Before I spent most if not all of my time in a tiny room waiting for customers now it's people sitting around a table smoking, playing cards or eating and drinking. It's strange but lovely. But I still enjoy time alone, closing my eyes forgetting everything.
Just as I have this thought I hear a car's engine, sitting up my eyes peering over the tall grass, a car drives down towards the entrance. Elsa's returned. Scrambling to my feet, brushing my clothes removing any dirt and strips of grass beginning to walk across the field curious to see whether she's arrived with anyone. I see Elsa enter the tent however I don't see anyone with her, seeing Jimmy, Ma Petite, Eve and Paul standing talking amongst each other. "Elsa's back" I say announcing my presence to them as they turn to me "She's bought someone with her."Eve says her arms crossed, "Hopefully they can bring people in" Jimmy says holding Ma Petite leading us into tent.
Entering the tent my eyes meeting a new person, new people. "Everyone this is Dot and Bette Tattler" Elsa smiles as we greet the new arrivals. They were sisters sharing a body, identical twin sisters who share a body.
"I'm Bette and this is my sister Dot" The cheerier twin says excitedly referencing her bitter counterpart, I smile matching Bette's happiness whilst attempting to dissolve Dot's icy exterior, "Hi, I'm Anas-" "Her names Angel" Jimmy interrupts nudging my lightly in the side introducing me, "My name's Jimmy, Jimmy Darling" He says kindly finally introducing himself.
We begin walking to the meal tent as Elsa leads the twin to their room allowing them to settle in a little. Watching Meep skipping ahead chasing after Pepper as usual, taking a seat as Eve sits next to me lighting a cigarette offering me one, politely refusing her offer. Meep and Pepper playing around the tables as we eat.
My eyes meet Dot and Bette walking towards us, overlooking them step into the tent seeing them gasp in horror as Meep once again rips the head of a live chicken, they begin retreating as I'm about to reassure them Jimmy sweeps in like the guy he is, "It's okay, he does that when he gets excited." Jimmy assures them "It's not everyday he comes across two beauties in one body" Jimmy smiles winking at them as Bette giggles blushing lightly as her glaze drifts towards the ground whereas Dot smiles widely staring at Jimmy first time I've seen her smile since she arrived. Dot seems to be very happy in JImmy's presence.
Soon returning to my little haven in the long grass, clutching my tattered diary and a pen beginning to write.
Diary,
Today everything is going to change forever. Elsa returned introducing us to the twins, Bette and Dot Tattler. The girls are nothing like I have ever since before. Actually something I didn't even realise was possible, identical twin sister encased in one body. "New forms of body abnormality" the papers called them... I call them remarkable.
According to Elsa and hospital reports Dot and Bette each have a set of lungs and a heart each just pretty much one of everything else. They are a living marvel like the rest of but obviously more extraordinary then us. Although their past is a little concerning, I've got to be careful.
