Stupid muses... *kicks*


1. "I didn't know Pegasus had fairy tales."
"Fairy tales?"
"Like Jack and Beanstalk, or Snow White, you know, didn't Kinsey bring Disney movies back with her last trip?"
"Ah, those."
"Yeah, shoulda figured there'd be some here too but I never really thought about it."
"They aren't fairy tales."
"Huh?"
"Fairy tales aren't real."


2. "True love's kiss?"
"Yup."
"You're kidding me, right?"
"Sadly, no. They actually programmed the computer only to respond to a certain combination of nerochemicals."
"What possible scientific reason can the Ancients have for playing Snow White in the middle of a lab?"
"Dunno, maybe it was more of a practical joke."


3. "Wait, wait, we have to put on a play? I don't know any plays!"
"Yeah, I don't really see us getting through Hamlet either."
"They aren't looking for Shakespeare guys, they just want a simple story acted out. Like a mummer's play. It's just an exchange of folk tales."
"Folk tales?"
"Fairy tales, fables, that sort of thing."
"Ah, well then, the Three Little Pigs it is!"


4. Once in my Father's Father's time, once in my Mother's Mother's days, there lived a house that flew.


5. It was in the dead of winter
In among the dark of winter
Hidden in the birch tree gardens
Planted, tended, long ago...

Because no one can have to much trochee (trochees?) ^_~
