Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for January 20, 2021

Whose skull is Olwen holding? Is that one of Pilot’s rat friends? So tiny it fits in the palm of her hand.

Ah, so that’s what that thing is! I wondered about it, but apparently not enough to actually type the question. Handy little thing, I expect. Of course, Past Olwen probably knows what it is too, and therefore who is under it, but will know not to ask any questions.

Unless, of course, it makes the wearer invisible in the past. That would be cool too!

— inferior screen…

Olwen: “Who was that masked stranger?, I asked myself.”

Oh! Poor Pilot. He lost his pets! He should have left them with Salem but of course too much was happening right then.

Olwen’s body isn’t exactly unrecognizable with a mask on. The vortex hood better have more going for it than a face covering.

Olwen is such a softie under than exterior. Love her.

JABBERWOCKY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A vortex hood is the third most massively useful thing in the universe.

I hope she can salvage Pilot’s glasses while she’s there rescuing Jabberwocky.

I’m guessing the old and small one was Olwen herself. Who else could it have been? No, I haven’t been smoking anything. They escaped to a world with walking houses after all.
