Example ( a paraphrase from the start of Naked Doom)

I don't know what you did, but they caught you.

I don't think they saw you coming… But they'll do anything to take you where you came from, and they'll do anything to get you back. They're trying, and you'll get them. They caught you."

"They did?"

"Yeah… They did… and we don't have the strength to come. They have a lot to deal with."

"What do they want, then?"

"They… well, you know they don't need no warning that we're here… Not just yet, but right now…"

"What are they going to do with us?"

"They don't have much to worry about… You'll get there one day! It's the only way you'll get to know the world."

The moons of Trollworld sparkled with icy magnificence.

As she stared into its icy darkness, a familiar familiar presence suddenly appeared beside her, standing before her at the entrance of her room, eyes full of worry and concern.

"This is…."

"This is…"

"This…what are you doing here? Did your parents really disappear?"

The voice that came from above her room rang through her ears with a metallic thunk. Even though she'd been awake for an hour and had nothing but her mind for the past several days, what she was hearing was so frightening that her thoughts raced on to her parents and then…


"You…why are you…here? How are you…?"


It was after her parents had disappeared that she began to wonder the most. She had long thought that, even after they had died, they had quietly gone back to their home. She knew they would probably never return alive, but

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit who played the harpsichord. He sang sweetly into his pipe; and all heard the sounds in the air: all but the hobbit. The Hobbit's pipe was always singing softly at night. That morning all the animals were at supper, and the hobbit sang again in the air. The hobbit went out to his hut, and sat down to breakfast. His eyes were full of sorrow at what he heard; and he was angry. Now he would get up early and go in and sing. Why should his pipe be alone?

But the hobbit went back with his pipe into the pit, and filled it again with all the bird sounds he had heard in the air in the night; while every animal in the pit cried with joy; and every bird sang with pleasure, and every sound, with a little joy. Then he took out the potful and set it on the hobbit's head and turned down and sang all with its song; for the birds sang as one, all singing as a chorus. And for the birds singing in song and pleasure they sang

It's all Word Salad of course, but just enough logic behind it that it becomes fraught with mad, mysterious meaning...

It's all Word Salad of course, but just enough logic behind it that it becomes fraught with mad, mysterious meaning...

When the story goes on, and it does, the story loses a little of its mystery. And it's not until halfway through that this mystery comes home to bite it in the butt. The plot gets bogged down too much in plot-hole-filled confusion that you end up with characters being led away from one another because they can't keep a straight face on the matter of why they're so d**n happy and why they're really, really angry at each other. And that becomes even more infuriating when you find out that that's how it all began.

It's a lot of fun! It's hard to say that the main characters are any good, but it's not hard to find a lot to like about the characters themselves, especially the more than decent female voice actor in the role. She gives us characters with feelings that you can identify with. And the pacing of this plot and the plot-holes that we find ourselves running into in between are very well done. The story itself seems to feel a lot more real as you go on and you're really starting to see what kind of character they are and what sort of person they really are. There's all manner of side stories and mysteries, and some that never feel quite connected, leaving
