NSA4 Hunt - Forgotten Doll

She couldn’t recall the name of her owner any more. She remembered that the girl had worn nice frilly starched dresses, Nanny had carefully curled her blond hair every morning so that the corkscrew locks would tumble down on her shoulders, and she had had a pair of big blue innocent eyes. But her name....? Mabel? Victoria? Abigail? Gertrude? Maybe it was Mabel... or was it Maude? All this had happened more than a hundred years ago, after all.

Mabel-or-Maude was a rich and happy child and she used to adore her lovely doll. “She’s almost like a living girl! Look, Nanny! She can move her arms and legs, and her eyes open and close!” – and she gave the doll a hug, or she went to comb its soft, natural hair. All was so idyllic... until one day, when everything suddenly changed. Mabel-or-Maude and her nanny went for a walk but only Nanny came back and she was crying, then everybody in the house was crying, too... then they packed in big trunks everything Mabel-or-Maude had ever owned, including her beloved dolly.

Ever since that day her life had been silence. Now and then she could hear some rumbling noise or maybe some steps in the attic of the huge abandoned house... but soon everything became silent again and all she could do was remembering and waiting... and remembering again.

NSA4 Hunt - Prickly Rose

Twitty Pitt was tiny but determined... and that was why Mr Maybug, the owner of „Maybug’s Miracle Maggots” preferred her to any other employee. „Withering waterlilies? Drooping daffodils? Call Maybug’s Miracle Maggots, and we sort out your issue! No more undisciplined gardens, no more riotous hedgerows, no more weeds picknicking on your verandah! Our qualified personnel will see to your needs in an instant!” – ran the slogan of MMM, and Twitty Pitt embodied all the promises. She was a born gardener, after all. What else a Rose Fairy could be?

Then, one day, Mr Maybug waved Twitty into his office. “Miss Pitt, we have a problem here!” – said he and looked rather worried. “The owner of a huge junkyard has just called. He’s extremely wealthy and he’s extremely demanding... and he literally needs us to perform a miracle. That desert of waste and dirt must become a green field in 24 hours. Can we do that, Miss Pitt?” Twitty just nodded and flew out of the room, looking as determined as ever.

Mr Maybug felt those 24 hours would never end and Twitty Pitt would never show up again... but indeed she did, a bit dirty but very satisfied. “Mr Maybug, the mission is complete, but you forgot to tell me that the customer wasn’t only rich and demanding, but extremely rude as well! He ordered me around and shouted at me... and he got the green field he wanted... but I’d like to see his face when he finds out those green plants are nettle and poison ivy!” Twitty Pitt cackled, and for a second Mr Maybug couldn’t decide if he wanted to sack her or double her salary.

Outfit: ***Ambrosia*** “Rose Fairy” in Yellow – No Strings Attached 4 Hunt gift (0 L$). The hunt is on until May 31^st.
