You guys really better get the wolf toMorrow because I'm feeling awfully pessimistic right now. Last time this happened to me, the village lost.

And btw Nerwen, if I were alive toMorrow and made the wrong lynch decision, I would've taken the blame, fair enough. But this will be the rest of your decisions, and I will have no influence on it whatsoever...so if you guys make the wrong one, it's on you.

One of the reasons I didn't drop my suspicion of you is because I had no suspicion of anyone else...which I really couldn't help because I simply didn't have time to look for anything suspicious in recent Days...just from what I remember in the early game.

You came within a hair's-breadth of saving Legate, remember?
Don't forget, I was never trying to save him...only lynch you.

Alirin walked in the direction that she saw Tweedledee go, hoping to catch up to him. After a few moments she could see him standing by a tree holding an umbrella.

“Do you think it’s going to rain?” Alirin asked, looking up at the sky, which was bright and clear with not a cloud in sight.

“No, I don't think it is,” he said: “at least -- not under here.”

“But it may rain outside?”

"It may, if it chooses” Tweedledee answered, “I’m no objection. Contrariwise.”

He stood there for a moment looking very sad, constantly looking back up at the sky; perhaps hoping that Tweedledum would come falling back down.

“Would you like to hear a poem?” he asked her.

“Alright. But is it very long?” she asked, not really wanting to stay around for longer than necessary.

“Yes, the longest!” he said, and so he began.

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright --
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done --
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying over head --
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.


Tweedledee took a deep sigh as he stopped reciting and shed a tear as he looked back up at the sky hopefully. Alirin was about to ask him to continue, hoping that finishing the poem would help him keep his mind off Tweedledum’s absence, when a familiar black bird appeared again in the sky. Begore either of them could react the crow had swooped down and snatched up Tweedledee and flown away.

Alirin stared up at the sky sadly, feeling terrible about losing the strange little men, and continued walking, hoping that the two were together now and that she could soon find a way to return home.

Alirin found the path again and soon found herself in the garden, and she knew that she was getting closer to that little blue door again. She soon came upon a woman who was nicely dressed and who introduced herself as a Duchess. The two walked together for a while, but Alirin didn’t think to say anything since she was so distracted about the idea of getting home.

“You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.” the Duchess said.

“Perhaps it hasn't one” Alirin ventured to remark.

“Tut, tut, child!” said the Duchess. “Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.”

“This garden is rather lovely!” Alirin said, trying to stir up some sort of conversation.

''Tis so,” said the Duchess: “and the moral of that is—"Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"'

“Somebody said,” Alirin whispered, “that it's done by everybody minding their own business!”

“Ah, well! It means much the same thing,” said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alirin's shoulder as she added, “and the moral of that is—"Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves."'

There was a few moments of silence before the Duchess decided to speak again. “there's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is—"The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours."'

“A mustard mine? But I don’t think mustard is something that can be mined.” Alirin said, quite confused.

“I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess; “and the moral of that is—"Be what you would seem to be"—or if you'd like it put more simply—"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."'

Alirin just stood there extremely confused by this, and didn’t even react at first when the Duchess kept walking and walked right over a cliff. After a moment Alirin walked up to the edge and looked down, but couldn’t even see the bottom.

“Oh my...” she said, as she turned the other way and returned to the garden path, being sure to watch were she walked.
