Hopefully it doesn't carry any diseases. I don't think a case of bogey fever would go over too well around here.
I'm sure bogeymen have natural predators that'd love nothing more than to get their bogey down... :wink:

Okay, while Quentyn seems to be handling the bogey, he had a couple of moments there when its resemblance to green jelly caused him to have some rather ungraceful reactions.

We also know that Nessie is en route to Sanctuary, and Oggy seems to be tagging along. If and when she meets her Questor hero, her little bog dragon could make the encounter rather awkward for a moment or two.

I see what you mean, but I don't think Quentyn would get upset with a creature such a Oggy the kyoot widdle boggy-fwoggy. :P

Ungraceful maybe....but HIGHLY effective!! :lol: Getting slammed into the wall at just below Mach 1 (a phobic-reaction adrenalin dump helped here) difinetely got the bogey's attention. :o It seems to have also taken most of the fight out of him as well. It also shows what a tough little sucker he is!! I don't see any holes in him from Quentyn's sword either. :-?

Bog-dragons aren't shape-shifters, though, so it's unlikely that Oggy will trigger any phobic reactions in Quentyn by suddenly turning shapeless and Jello-like in his hands. :) The bogeyman undoubtedly tried that trick assuming that Quentyn would simply yelp and drop him like a hot rock (or a swamp jelly :D ), not hurl him into the nearest wall.

That, and the bogeyman probably now realizes that the jig is up, as it were -- both Quentyn and Colin now know exactly what he is, so any further attempts to shape-shift aren't going to scare them, and will probably just get him hurled into the wall again. :D

One of the best parts of chuckin' sumpin up agin' the wall is that it's REAL HARD to miss.....even in a panic reaction......sorta like "can't fall off the floor".

I would think some kind of outline or "splat-mark" on the wall would not only convey the velocity (ferocity?) of Quentyn's reaction... :o ..it'd also be pretty funny.

But then, tha's just me, an' I've allus been a bit on the weird side. :lol:

Recently on the Nip and Tuck forum, several of us have gotten in a conversation about our favorite classic movies. This got me thinking about Quentyn's fear of gelatenous creatures, and...

When I checked out this video from the library, I made sure to make myself a batch of cherry-flavored Jello to eat during the movie.

What surprises me is that the monster showed up as some horrifying mutant ugly . . . considering that the poor kit said he was seeing rats. Why the change? Did the bogeyman simply figure the kit wasn't scared of rats anymore? Or did he adjust because Quentyn was there too?

Possibly it was Quentin being there, causing a change in his tactics.
It could be that Colin wasn't responding to the rats as much as they had expected so they stepped things up a bit.

And maybe, just maybe, the bogeyman's appearance is purely coincidental, or a diversion meant to throw Quentin off the track.

Good evening.

That reminds me of the trailer to the 198? version:


...If it had a body, you would kill it...
...If it had a mind, you would reason with it...
...If it had a face, you would look at it straight in the eye...

THE BLOB

An interesting development...
I wonder how squidge would feel about rat hunting for a living?
Sort of a hunting dog for the gnomes? Not actually making the kills (too weak, it would take him forever, even if he is pretty invulnerable) but driveing out the rats(like they did for the kit). OTOH Squidge might not be all that invulerable to rat teeth, the shearing effect might do what a mono-directional force couldn't.

Ok, so did Squidge decide that terrorizing the gnomes would get him his 'closet cred' back? Or is this a red herring as far as that goes?

Good evening.


Et tu, Jar-jar?


So Quentyn can't chop that thing's head off?




And in all this, is Colin finally cured of night terrors?

Possibly it may be a red herring. It could be that the "rats" and bogeymen are either related or have societies that interact with each other. Even as an outcast, Squidge would be a traitor to both if he didn't make an attempt to scare Colin and Quentin.

He would be useful to Quentin though.

Hmmmmm....

Colin said that rat-like critters were coming out of his closet. Quentyn couldn't find any trace of actual rats. If Colin had been "keeping" Squidge for a while, wouldn't he be able to recognize a bogey? Even in shapeshifted form? After all, he found Squidges attempts to scare him as funny and obviously highly entertaining.....much to Squidges discombobulation.

And what of his manifestations penetrating the floor? What effect are these having? What dream was Colin having that triggered it?
