How I Wonder What You're At

How I Wonder What You're At

You look up and see a twinkling light fluttering around the roof of the cave. As your eyes adjust, you see that it's a bat carrying a teatray! What a bat's doing with a teatray, and how it's flying and carrying it at the same time, you're not sure.

Looks like the bat's not too sure, either, as it drops the teatray. It bounces off your head with a sonorous *clang*. It disappears into the guano, but you see a few biscuits left over from whatever bizarre tea party the bats were having.

Lucky you! Your ten-leaf clover disappears in a puff of smoke.

You lose 5 hit points.

You acquire an item: sonar-in-a-biscuit

Notes

• This adventure occurs if the player does not have a sonar-in-a-biscuit in their inventory or closet. Otherwise, the adventure What Can You Do? occurs.

References

• The title, the bat and the teatray refer to a song from Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat / How I wonder where you're at. / Up above the world you fly / Like a tea-tray in the sky.") These lines, in turn, are a reference to the nursery song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
• Perhaps also refers to the fact that when a bat wants to know where something is (at), it uses sonar.
