Twenty-Three: In Which 729 Anderson Gets a Pet. Sort of.

[myblimpisbigger]

[The first thing Klaus notices this morning is that there doesn't seem to be any more compulsory need to drink the milk, which is exceptionally good news, because it means no more murderous smiling drones wandering around.


The second thing he notices is that there is an unusual shadow on his lawn. A long, cylindrical shadow with... but no. Surely Mayfield didn't give him back his Castle? It's far, far too large to fit here, isn't it...?


Apparently Mayfield thought of that.


Anyone who wants to come by and remark at the new lawn ornament at 729 Anderson Lane is welcome. Klaus will be standing on the lawn, looking up in wonder at the 30 foot long miniature of his kilometer long airship. It floats gently on the morning breeze, though it stays at 729 courtesy of a chain securing it to a metal stake in the lawn.


It's like a big floating inanimate pet. And that's adorable.]

My, that is much bigger.

I wonder if that would be impossible even for them. It would have been interesting to see.

Not impossible, I suspect, just merely highly problematic. Thus them doing this instead. I find that those who run this town are more likely to take the easy way around a problem than actually fix it.

Given that sort of laziness it's frankly amazing that they have managed to stay in control for this long. You would think such corner-cutting would eventually be their downfall.

It seems that way. Perhaps that's what brought them into this mess in the first place.

You would think. Though it still might be.
