Boy was I getting sick of that maze. I thought I loved corn mazes, but after three days of row after row after row, I began to lose all sense of time and direction. If it hadn't been for the swarm of enormous winged ants burrowing up through the soil and breaking me out, I could have been trapped there forever.

This particular clan of enormous winged ants consider themselves revolutionaries, or at least pirates. They feel that imposing your will on the world (planting rows of corn, dividing days into hours and seasons into months) traps us within it, "like an old wasp nest" as they say. They feel it's their duty to ignore the rows and the rules and the straight lines, and swarm their way through the worlds as they see fit, wherever the spirit takes them.

That's how they found me, and that's how we (accidentally) found @Ava Elisabeth, trapped in a particularly nasty bit of the corn labyrinth. I was mounted on Chuk-ee, the leader of this squad of enormous winged ants, wearing a pair of chaps and spurs the ants pack with them for just such occaisions. We were tumbling around in their swarm when Chuk-ee sensed something through his antennae. He made some calculations, and suddenly we dove right into the closed time loop @Ava Elisabeth was circling in, smashing down rows and rows of corn in all directions. One of the other ants scooped her up and off we flew.

We've landed at the top of a desert mesa, high above the fields of corn. @Ava Elisabeth is trying on a pair of chaps and spurs, and Chuk-ee and the rest are conferring about what to do with us. They use the Mind-Speak with us, but with each other it's all mandible clacking and ant-dancing and we have no idea what they're saying. Can they return us to Psyhigh? Or catch up with the Sadie Hawkins? I'd be embarrassed to do either. But what other alternatives do we have? And I don't know what @Ava Elisabeth would like to do. But for now, we rest. And it's corn chowder over an open fire in the high desert bluffs for dinner.

Dear diary,

@Louis C. and a group of winged ants have freed me from my time loop. We have been traveling towards the Sadie Hawkins' next stop ,but I doubt we will make it in time.

But @Louis C., the ants, and I, have had a great time. We are roaming over the hills and valleys exploring the nooks and crannies of this beautiful land.

One the only downsides other then the obvious, is that I am missing Kaliningrad ( my carnivorous watermelon/Banana hybrid) . I haven't heard anything from the Sadie Hawkins about their location or if little In is ok. But I suppose that is to be expected, Captain Armando always said " The Sadie Hawkins' waits for no one "

Dear Diary,

Yesterday, the winged ant revolutionaries left @Louis C. and I . They said they had more corn mazes to run through and that they hoped we would find what we were looking for.

@Louis C. has been quite silent and has not talked to me much. Which hasn't been awkward so far, because we were in the company of the winged ants, but now that they are gone, I am sure this will be more awkward that Galactia Middle School 's Spawning Education Day.

We still have heard nothing from @The Sky Wolf , but we are very close to the Amethyst Mines.

I don't think we can catch up to the Sadie Hawkins.

Sincerely,
Ava Elisabeth

Send your demos as soon as you can !!!

Uh, me and demons don't really get along. Did I mention I have borderline demon anxiety disorder, @Miranda Ashdove? Mayan Mind Wrestling is supposed to be an outlet for it, but I haven't really had much time in the gym lately. If I run into one, my Chiye-Tanka form will emerge and take over pretty quickly.

But I don't want to hold @Ava Elisabeth back. You guys better take this chance. I'll wait for a bus or something out here on this deserted road. That brown shack with the deer skull on it looks like a bus stop. Or an outhouse. For a demon.

@Louis C.
If I reach the Sadie Hawkins I will postpone them for as long as possible.
I wish you luck.

Alright @Ava Elisabeth , I sent 6 demons. They look a bit like shadows but they have taken the form of flying spiders for some reason. Anyways just let them attach to you. One per arm and leg and two on your back. They should propel you forward at a much faster speed.
Best of luck!

Dear diary ,

We found the Amethyst Mines and as expected, the Sadie Hawkins is gone.


But there is still hope. We have received information, of another stop and it is not to far from here. They are going to Monkey-Pig territory. And luckily, I have connections with Monkey-Pigs.
You see my mother was a biochemist and she was searching for a new species of mushroom that had healing capabilities. But instead she wandered into Monkey-Pig territory. And while they usually attack people and eat their hair , they befriended my mother due to the plethora of snack she carried with her.
