“Why get stuck in mud when you shine like the sun?”
A rumbling Thunderstorm at the Inn. The Keeper introduces us to Arlyn, the laundress for the Inn. She takes us up to the Grand Ballroom, tucked away in the broom closet on the 4th floor, reserved for guests from the Irrational Realms. We meet the visiting ghost of the Ballroom, the Duchess von Dallion. She tells us the story of how Brer Rabbit tricked the Family with the race he set up between Cousin Dust and Cousin Rain. We are reminded that it’s always a good idea to prepare, no matter the weather. The Duchess gently reminds us of our worth and helps us fill out a dance card with our own destiny.

Dedicated with love to my Auntie Cynthia: thank you for showing the way and always saving room for the old tales.
