The girls could finally relax. Father William was still in a stupor and needed no attention except for the occasionally cleansing of the brightly colored hibiscus vomit from His shirt.
"We had a lot of customers."
Alice wasn't really inclined to conversation but the silence was deafening after the hullabaloo of a crowded carnival.
"Oodles."
Imogen was absentmindedly pinching her clitoris in a vague attempt to get its attention.
"WE ARE AGAINST THINGS!"
"WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY!"
The chanted slogans exploded through the tents open flaps and halting Imogen's self pandering and causing Daddy Bill to convulse frantically and blow more fresh chunks.
"What the fuck!"
"It's the tea-baggers."
"DOWN WITH EVERYTHING!"
"BACK TO THE STONE-AGE!"
Alice walked to the entrance and stuck her head outside just in time to be hit full in the eye by a baked Alaska. "Mmmmmm, nice."
The meringue and ice cream mixture was good, apart from the noticeably fishy aftertaste.
"NO FUTURE FOR ANYONE!"
"NO BURIALS FOR THE DEAD!"
Alice was confused. The small rather malignant looking crowd had gathered just outside the carnivals entrance but was in constant motion as if unsure exactly where they were going. Imogen appeared at Alice's side and licked what was left of the sweet mix from her chin. The metal tongue adornments tickled and Alice shivered with expectations of possible cunnilingual continuances.
"Here comes trouble!"
As Imogen spoke the crowd parted and a small squat female, dressed in what could best be described as an Eskimo Dominatrix costume forced her way through.
"SPEECH! SPEECH!"
"This will be lame. At least the lobotomy gives me a good excuse to be an imbecile!"
"We shall travel on the bridge to nowhere. We will poison the seas and oceans, we shall ignore with growing self absorption the increase of pollution in the air, we shall defend our backwardness, whatever the disaster resulting. We will ruin the beaches, we will desecrate up the burial grounds, we shall defecate in the fields and in the streets, we shall de-forest the hills, we shall never stop plundering, and if, which is quite possible, this country or indeed the whole earth was sick and starving, then our crass nature, armed and guarded by our self motivation, would still refuse to do anything but bitch and moan, until, at Gods glorious judgment, the Dark ages, with all their horrors and inequalities, return to oppress and subjugate all."
The Inuit Dominatrix stood proudly hands on hips reveling in the mobs approval.
Alice was fuming.
"That was disgustingly stark plagiarism!"
"Doesn't have an original thought in her head. Well in reality the very conception of an idea entering that vacant lot is quite the dichotomy."
Imogen staggered a little and Alice helped her back to her chair.
"Sorry, that last word quite pooped me out."
Mistress Paliqueen strode into the tent.
