Out of the blue, Devil showed up. And can you believe it? He had Lizzie and Lil’Sculpture in tow. Phew, what a relief. But at the same time, everybody was very, very angry with Devil as he obviously knew all along where the two missing puppets had been hiding out.
Surprisingly, Sunny played totally cool now and said he knew all along they would not have met with an untimely end as the sturdy polystyrene man will outlast any Dede. But having observed him all week, I believe his change of mind only came after ArtistatExit0 pointed out that Lil’Sculpture’s distant cousin, the plain polystyrene coffee cup, will last for two hundred years. Right!
Everybody else stormed towards Devil and wanted to know what happend. Devil, back in a confident spokesperson mode announced he found himself a new job. From now on he will be the spokesperson of the trash puppets in the neighbourhood. Over the last two weeks the three of them had nutted out what they will to do in future. Life under the regime of Magician was too dangerous for trash puppets, so they had to set up their own union and run their own workshops. They have invited a very special guest to their next workshop and it will be on Saturday the 22 Feb in the studio…
“Hang on,” Magician interrupet at this point. “The Dedes have a workshop on the 22nd, the studio space is taken!”
“No it is not” Devil replied calmly and produced a booking sheet from under his robe “Here, see for yourself, we have made a booking for the space, where is your’s?”
At this point Mouse turned fire-engine red and said under her breath “I wondered where the booking sheet had got to.”
Union politics – vicious stuff. That Li’l Devil knows how to manipulate the situation. Tony
Yeah, I don’t know if he is aware what he got himself into. But you have to admit, he grabbed a chance that presented itself and created a new job. You have to admire that. And he helped the two trash puppets at the same time. That was very un-devellish, wasn’t it!
Spokesperson for the trash puppets! Sounds like it could get messy!
Why? He was just trying to find a niche for himself as being a spokesperson is all he knows and he definitely needed a new job. So you think he hasn’t thought it through?
As I keep hearing of late…”change is the only constant” and this seems to apply to the puppet world as well. I think Devil has found an area with promising growth potential as a representative of a larger more inclusive group.
Yes, I think it was a good move of Devil. He didn’t grieve too long for the lost of his old job and made good steps in the right direction :)
