Muses Thalia and Erato arrived at Parlour to a small gathering of guests. As they passed the time chatting with their guests, while waiting for more to arrive, Muse Erato came to learn of a new perfectly pink Pan, Sunrise, who has just arrived in Kymer! Sister Thalia made a note to carry smelling salts with her at all times, in case Erato should cross paths with this handsome new Pan!

Once all the guests had arrived, Muse Erato told the guests about her upcoming retreat to the mountains for two weeks, so she could get caught up creating poems and also updating her journal entries.

Muse Erato asked her guests for some help as to what she could pack in her picnic basket to take away with her on retreat. As usual the players were very creative and offered the following suggestions - champagne for two, strawberries, dark molten chocolate to dip the berries in, momma's tea and tea cups, minty green bonbons (prepared espeically for Erato from her loving Sister Thalia), nuts and fruit, lots of well water and juniper berries, pomogranate meat, caviar, dreamberry wine, olives, and pizza. That will surely fill Erato's basket to the brim and keep her well nourished for the trip to the mountains.

Then Muse Erato decided to keep her basket well hidden from the Jesters who could possibly play pranks and put the following items into her basket instead. Her guests warned Erato to beware of finding fun snakes that would "boing" out when the basket lid was raised, silly toys, a dribble glass, an umbrella, an empty bread bowl, some of their famous sok soup, shocker dream cards, joke ice cubes with flies inside, rotten anchovies, a hand buzzer, bug spray in a cologne bottle,jalapeno popcorn, sour milk, chocolate exlax brownies and whoopee cushions.

Please join the Muses every Tuesday at 4pm WA in the Morpheus Rose Garden East for Parlour Games - an hour packed with surprises, and fun games!
