The mouse speaks

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 58459

"Uh, hello!" says the mouse in a female voice, bravely trying not to look like a side-dish. "You wouldn't happen to be Fred as well, would you?"

You pause, stunned. Didn't she realize what a danger you were to her? An instinct within reminds you that for cats, it's fun to play with your food, so, playing along, you say, "Fredaswell? What is that?" You find being able to speak with another species a little wierd, but disregard it.

"Uh, no," continues the mouse nervously. "I meant to ask you if your name was Fred."

"Fred?" you repeat. The name sounds vaguely familiar to you. "Isn't that a guy's name?"

"Uh, yeah."

"How can I be Fred then? I'm a female cat!"

"Well, given what I've been through lately, you can't really be sure."

You're getting bored, but feel there has to be something worth it with this mouse if she was willing (and able) to talk. You lay down and ask, "Okay, I'll bite. What have you been through?"

"Where should I start? I was a human and was killed. Then I was reincarnated as a fungus, and killed again. Then I was reincarnated as a moth, and killed again!"

"Ouch! And why, in the world, were you asking me for my name?"

"Because in all those cases, the person responsible for my death was Fred D'honaire!"

You feet a sudden surge of wisdom. Lord Fred D'honaire, Duchy of Suffex, Great Kindom of Allaria. How do you know all this?

  1. You tell the mouse what you just remembered
  2. You ask the mouse for her name
