Top Dog took Norman T Newbie aside and whispered with great statisfaction: “Brilliant, everyone believes that we are truly concerned about Foxy Lady.” He rubbed his hands and added “but I can tell you, if she ever shows up again, I will make sure she goes straight to prison!”
“If she ever shows up again,” repeated Norman T Newbie with a sly smile.
Foxy Lady hasn’t been sighted since last Friday. Today Benevolent King decided to call on all available Dedes for a search party. All the ones that are not packed away showed up, including Norman T Newbie and Top Dog. Benevolent King shook their hand and thought it was nice to see that they ultimately do care for the Dede community and want to be part of it.
Benevolent King is concerned about Foxy Lady. He believes that she has a very bright future and has taken on the role of a mentor. Today he was looking for her everywhere, but couldn’t find her.
“I hope the silly girl didn’t go to the bike shed last night” he said to Alien, who happened to stand next to him at the door. “So many readers thought the note was a bit suspicious” he added.
“Yes,” said Alien, “at first I thought let the girl have some fun, but then @spa.hom pointed out how can a fox from far away know about the bike shed? That is strange, indeed.”
It looks like the gorgeous fox is an instagram reader and he obviously saw Foxy Lady’s post the other day. Today she found this message on the desk, she is sure it is addressed to her.
Benevolent King came to Foxy Lady’s aid. “Leave her alone” he said and pushed Devil away, “she has done more than any other Dede to rid us of Top Dog.”
Actually, King standing right next to Foxy Lady when she tried to push the narcissist of the shelf. In fact, he was the one who slammed the door, so Top Dog wouldn’t fall to his death. However, at the same time he protected Foxy Lady from becoming a murderer. Was it a good deed? Only history will tell.
“I am very disappointed in you,” said Devil, who somehow managed to make his way back onto the scene. Like most of the Dedes he had been packed away.
“But why?” asked Foxy Lady and pulled the picture of the dashing fox closer to her heart.
“I would have expected a girl of your intelligence to stand up and fight for her believes! Not run away and follow a mirage into some romantic dreamland.”
Of course Foxy Lady knows she is in trouble now. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that her attempt to assassinate Top Dog will have repercussions. It would be best if she could disappear. But how? How can she escape this little Dedeworld?
It happened that we received snail mail from @denise_m_oehl recently. Denise had sent us a pack of beautiful postcards of her work. Oh, postcards, greetings from the big wide world! Foxy Lady’s heart nearly stopped when she discovered this image of a gorgeous fox with golden fur. “I am going to find this man” she thought instantly “and I am going to marry him!” Problem solved!?
Oh dear, it is nearly a month since the dedes reported last. The reason? They were tidying up. If you have seen the studio before, you know this was a major.
Magician was happy with the result, but Esta Blished, who suffers from Alzheimers feels a bit disoriented in the empty space. Even worse. most of the Dedes got tidied up as well and are packed away for the time being. Only a few of them are still in the cupboard. Nobody really know what the artist was thinking, leaving Top Dog in the cupboard. After a weekend in the confined space, being forced to listen to the narcissistic Top Dog, Foxy Lady lost it and tried to push him off the shelf. Fortunately someone realised what she was up to and slammed the door shut just in time. Instead of falling off the shelf, Top Dog only bumped his head on the door and had to go to hospital with suspected concussion and a broken hand.
He came back this morning and the first thing he did was taking his bodyguard Norman T Newbie to the side and instructing him to go and to find the culprit and deal with it. I wonder what that means.
Top Dog figured out the Dedes won’t surrender unless he can unsettle the artist. He is adamant to find some dirt he can use. Luckily for him the artist is currently decluttering her house and had left a pile of ancient diaries on an otherwise empty shelf. Top Dog rubbed his hands and opened the first book. But luckily for the artist she had written her diaries in German and Top Dog doesn’t speak the language.
He took one of the books to Foreign Correspondent, who is looking after the Dede’s German blog. “Mhm,” the expert consultant said after he had evaluated a few pages. “Who do you think is interested in the drivel of a sad and lonely eighteen year old who is at odds with the world? In my opinion the books should be committed to the recycling bin!”
Top Dog didn’t like the answer, but Foreign Correspondent didn’t want to take another look. “Forget it! There is no artistic merit in these books” he said and continued with his own work.
We all know Top Dog is not one to give up easily. “Wrong consultant and wrong diary” he mumbled and grabbed another book. “Foreign Correspondent is simply too rational. I need someone who can emotionally connect with the story the artist recorded in her diaries.”
This time he went and asked Deutsch Fraulein for help. Surprisingly, when he mentioned the diaries, the old girl looked up from her mobile to which she usually is glued to and said: “leave the book with me. I will think about it.”
Of course Top Dog had to say something about the deal. He doesn’t particularly like the owl, as his charm doesn’t work on her. “Can we call you Indian Gift from now on?” he asked and added with a big smirk “I knew the artist can’t be trusted!”
“Oh, shut up you disingenuous old thing. It was all done amicably” replied Pinkpok obviously angry that he tried to spoil her joy.
“Oh, how I wish they had let you go!” said Top Dog and wandered off.
