Laura Drake: Difference between revisions

One of the residents of [[The Strange and Wonderful House]] was a short, athletic red-haired girl with freckles, known as “Treefrog”. She sometimes had adventures with her friend, the [[Jenny_Everywhere#Guardian_of_the_Ink_Wells|Guardian of the Ink Wells]], a small brown-haired girl with goggles.  

 

On one occasion, the two decided to take a trip to [[the Beach]] using a portal located in [[the backyard]] on which the Guardian had once written “a report”. Already wearing neon-coloured bathing suits, the two made their way through [[the Gardens]] and past [[the Bodhi Tree|the giant tree]] until they found the backyard and were teleported to the beach. There, immediately jumping into the almost-glowing blue, breathable water, they spent an hour having fun before resurfacing them. Accidentally discovering another, hitherto-undocumented portal, they suddenly found themselves transported, cold and dripping, to the middle of [[the Library (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|the Library]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 55: Teleporting Beach|Teleporting Beach]]'') where they were quickly reprimanded by [[the Librarian]]. Recognising the Guardian, the Librarian addressed her as “Inkstain”, forcing an annoyed Guardian to insist to Treefrog that it ''wasn't'' her real name in the face of Treefrog being all too glad to have a less grandiloquent name than “Guardian” by which to address her friend. This naturally angered the noise-hating Librarian further and she “roared in a whisper” for the girls to be silent.
