The Hamster Question

I must say my visit to the fantastic chaps in the prophecy translation team has really piqued my interest in the Otterman Prophecy. I have been having some superb chats with Simon Swifttail and Seska Fleetfoot over the last few days.

We even talked about the prophecy once or twice, it wasn’t all fish and the best way to store your top hat in a watery environment you know! This is very important information you know, and it is vital that you don’t get your fish and your top hats mixed up! Let me tell you a top hat does not make a good midnight snack.

Anyway, in the course of these chats I convinced them to let me have some copies of their translations to have a ponder over. After all the more brains thinking about what all this means the better, and after Simon said some some things such as “vital to the fabric of reality” and “imperative to consider the implications to otter kind” I gave him the slip and took them to my office to have a good nose!

My writing adviser Lucy Littlepaws, suggested that you all might be interested in some of the passages. So here they are along with some of my thoughts.

I hate it when you don’t think of me
I have just noticed the otter
It seems that there is no such thing as Tuesday

Bravo!! Bravo!! I have always hated Tuesdays, so the sooner all of otter kind realise they don’t exist the better! They can all stop trying to have Tuesdays and get on with  glorious Wednesdays. Perhaps two Wednesdays, that would be fine!

During that moment you can tell me how you feel
Yes it was meant for you but I am not
Soon I will be honest with the otter

Hmmm I am not sure about this one, seems a little waffley. I do wonder who has been lying to decent otters mind you and what about? I wonder if it is about the existence of Tuesday.

I don’t know what you are
Otters and I have gin and tonic
I am just so ready for a new wildcat

My word! A wildcat, this is is mighty intriguing, explains a thing or two though, the otter didn’t know about the new wildcat. Everyone seems to have gin and tonic though so I think the honesty went well. I am not so sure about the wildcat however

The otter is definitely the best sort of dragon
We need a better wildcat
Don’t forget to check out the other angry bears

I have no idea what to make of this… I think the otter should lay off the gin!
I see that wildcat didn’t work out, probably him who made those bears angry, that doesn’t do at all. My word no!

This prophecy malarky is quite fascinating, new passages are being translated every day, the most recent has references to otter with black and pink shirts, they sound very dapper!

I think that is just about all the deciphering I can do for now, difficult business this holding together the fabric of space and time I can tell you!

I think some real insights will be emerging any day now, there is some extremely clever stuff going on down there. Come to think of it, I have still yet to see a report about all that whirring and binging I saw during my visit. I am extremely keen to get to the bottom of all of that. If there is nothing forthcoming I will have to pay them another visit!

Before I bring this to a close, I must mention the hamster, the one I thought appeared and ate a seed, well there was something very familiar about him at the time. I have been wracking my brain since last week to work out where I have seen him before. It was a conundrum but I finally figured it out, he was part of the volunteer rodent crew the chaps recruited to help with some of the experiments a year or so ago. He wandered off over lunch one day and was never seen again. There was a good deal of searching at the time if I remember rightly!

The strangest thing is yesterday I saw him again, along with a second hamster who looked incredibly similar to him. They were chattering away in hamster from separate sides of a table. Debbie Shorttail from the temporal research team was with them looking extremely concerned!

  1. Well, it seems that Lucy and Simon are being most helpful, which is pleasing. The prophesies grow more interesting by the day – what could have gone wrong with the wildcat? And who upset the bears?! Great news about the hamster, I had been very worried about him. I thought maybe the seed had done him a mischief but it looks as if all is well (for now). Keep up the good work – the prophesies must be realised!

    1. Simon and Lucy are very helpful types 🙂 I think Lutra has quite a rudimentary approach to prophecy deciphering… I suspect I may have to turn the explanations over to the translation team at some point to get a better explanation…
      we need to find out the real story behind the wildcats and the bears…
      The hamster is safe, he is being very closely monitored by Debbie Shorttail

      1. This is very good news all round, I feel much happier now. These prophesies are fascinating, if a little disturbing at times. I’m glad there are such reliable otters working on them!

      2. They are a little disturbing they seem to tell of future interaction between otters and humans…
        I am sure Simon and Seska will get to the bottom of it…
        Or someone will…
        I think all the otters are reliable so far… I may have to introduce their reckless otter sides they need to have shenanigans…
