The following is based on a journal entry which I later found out belonged
to a friend of mine. He was a Quiggle. He went missing a couple months ago and
I'm hoping this can shed some light on his disappearance. I am Mr_J_Gorbo antiques
hunter and amateur journalist.
It was the 9th of Hiding, Year 3. I had just said good-bye to my friend
Gorbo, who was on his way home. I was staying in the Neolodge because my owner
had just started building my NeoHome yesterday.
Anyway, I got back to the Neolodge and my owner told me someone had dropped
off a package for me and that they were wearing a cloak so you couldn't see
their face... or if they were a pet or an owner. I thought that was a little
odd but since I was tired I decided I'd sleep on it. So forgetting about The
Package for now I turned on the TV hoping to catch the last few minutes of Better
Than You. I was watching that and then suddenly... It said this program
is interrupted for a news bulletin or somethin' like that. It said that one
a' Sloth's top guys (a mean lookin' Lenny) had just escaped from Lupsa Prison
in the Haunted Woods and fought his way out with a Sparkshooter stolen from
one the guards. I didn't think much of it so I changed the channel.
The next mornin' I woke up and had some breakfast (if you can call an Ummagine
and half a can of Neocola breakfast). After that, my owner and the other pet
my owner owns (a Chia by the name of Skotzy_67) went to The Marketplace ta see
if they could get their hands on a Faerie Paint Brush (I don't know why anyone
would want one though...). And since I really didn't wanna be seen shopping
for a Faerie Paint Brush, I hung back. I watched TV a little more. I was watchin'
a historic thingy on the Battle of Sakhmet when...
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
"OPEN UP! CHIA POLICE!!"
I was jarred from the bed and nearly fell on to the floor. I ran to the door
and was immediately cuffed.
"Let's see that package you got, huh?" one of the cops said to me.
I waddled over, grabbed it with my teeth and brought it to them slightly confused
and annoyed.
"HA! Just as I thought! Arrest him boys!!" one Chia yelled after looking at
the package for about three seconds.
"What? You can't do that I didn't do nuthin'!!" I yelled back.
"We'll ask the questions," another Chia said (I don't think he heard me right).
After a lengthy drive I was brought to Chia Police Headquarters. They took
me inside and patted me down. Unfortunately they found my hidden Zaptwig (A
gift from the Hidden Tower lady if you must know...) And they took my only weapon.
And broke it.
"AHHHHH!!!!! WHY DID YOU HAFTA DO THAT?? I ALREADY SURRENDERED!!" I bellowed
after them extremely mad that the most valuable thing I owned was just destroyed.
"Security measures," one of the Chias said without a care. I was surrounded
by highly trained 'soldiers for justice' as the commercials call them. I was
in no mood to argue.
They brought the package into a special sealed room where they could investigate
it (or so I was told) and they brought me into an interrogation place. Where
they could ask me stuff. I figured they'd try the old 'good cop', 'bad cop'
routine so I wasn't TOO worried.
To make a long story short here's what went down during the interrogation:
I was right about the 'good cop' 'bad cop' thing. They tried that a couple
of times and when they realised I wasn't hidin' anything, they told me straight
up what the deal with the package was:
Okay, hold on a sec my wrist hurts from writing.... AHHHH, there we go. All
better... Ahem, like I was saying...
It turns out that guy that escaped from Lupsa was hiding something in his cell
the whole darn time he was there. It was the package (They still won't tell
me what's in it though...) The night he escaped was the night I got the package.
So, obviously HE must of brought it to me. Apparently that thing in the package
is something REAL important and Sloth really wants it. But, the thing is, the
guy who escaped from jail was gonna bury the package so no one would ever find
it. But Sloth wants it BAD so the guy decides he'll just drop it off at some
chumps house then... BAM!! Run off to Mystery Island.
So now that yer up to date I'll tell ya what happened after the interrogation.
The coppers said they'll buy me another Zaptwig (not an easy task) if I help
'em out with somethin'...
The plan is that we'll go to Sloth's headquarters, drop off our own mystery
package and then WHAM!! As soon as the poor fella opens it he's covered
in goo... so the cops can arrest him. Cool eh??
*Author's note: That was the last thing written in the journal. The Chia
police have so far refused to tell me what happened on the night of Sloth's
ambush. But I'm still on my way to solving the mystery...
