I'd expect this to go...poorly. A guard who decides, on a whim, to help a prisoner escape, one personally condemned by the princess, just because that prisoner showed her some sexual attraction, does not seem like a guard smart enough to successfully engineer such an escape.

I was today years old when I learned that there are indeed zoos that will let you feed the full-size hippopotamuses, typically for separate fees, and booked months in advance. Seems kind of dangerous as-depicted, though. Real zoos seem to be more of a "throw it in from behind the barrier"...

And in the book The Lost World, a character says something like "Grant was wrong, the T-Rex had just eaten, and was just basically toying with them." when a different character tries the freeze trick and it goes...poorly.

Never heard of them. Far more familiar with the Dijon mustard commercials.

Dinosaur: "Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?"

"I feel you should buy me a new blouse."

It seems like something is missing between 9.1 and 9.2? 9.1 ends with the MC flying high above the ground experiencing killing intent, and 9.2 has them returning to the town and not talking to anyone about it? Edit: I guess I stand corrected, the giant hand was always in the town. Objection...

Don't try it, Rinslet! He has the high ground!

The May 6, 2023 Lunar Eclipse was penumbral, the Moon dimming only slightly as it passed into the outer ring of the Earth's shadow. That said, I have no objection if artistic license is taken to make it a total lunar eclipse in this setting.

This is the first chapter where she has any sort glint in her eyes; she's had the cold, dead eye thing going since her introduction.

Ah, time to discover what the Official Story of their disappearance has been. I suspect the mustachioed guy probably blamed them for tripping the trap, and claimed they were immediately slain before he could use the return timer.

"It is very rude to put your eggs in humans heads at a crosswalk. It distracts them, and they could be hit by trucks and sent to cliche pastiche fantasy worlds. Find a more appropriate location, like a remote village with a foreboding atmosphere, or a Wendy's."

And the sledgehammer is in the air.... Where will it land, I wonder?

"It's great that you feel comfortable enough to show me this...but one small request. There's a Wendy's just across the street, so could we go in there and do this whole scene again? I just want to hear them say it."

The rumored Longman, you say?
