Vell, hy got to say hy hope Brodder Ulm iz not vearing a red shirt under his habit like poor Brodder Otto. Hy can't remember who said he vould make a good minion, but hy definitely gettink to agree. Hy vould like heem alive out of all dis und minionink gratefully.
Und hy hope Dimo turns up und smeks der Tveedle sum MORE.
Und if dere is goink to be a musical number, ve need a tenor. Hy got Mister Vooster firmly down as a baritone. Vhere is Maxim vhen hyu need him?! (Hy notice iz not yust me who makes Maxim a tenor - efferyvun vot effer makes him sing does dat - so hy reckon he got to be.)

But Bruder Ulm vants dem to run straight to vhere Tveedle iz. Dis gonna get messy. Tveedle gonna try to kill der veasel. Zeetha, Violeeta, Wooster gonna try to kill Tveedle. Theobald gonna try to kill Zeetha, VIoletta, und Wooster. Den Krosp gonna discover he iz extually Emperor of der Swartzwalders chust as Gil shows op. Den der Beast breaks in. Und Herdthinner shows op vit der karioke box und ve gets dis party started! --- Oh, goot. De Professors vill finally do dot big Musical Number ve haff been clamoring for. Careful voy hyu vishes vor. Hy iz mebbe writink a schtory vit lots of call-outs to songs, mostly Gilbert & Sullivan but probably not de vuns hyu iz tinkink ov. Und hy dun do de new vords of songs, chust some ov de dialogue iz phrases from de songs. It probably iz as bad as it sounds, so like most ov de schtuff hy write, vill probably end up in de recycle bin. But iv hy can mek it vork dere iz vun Hell ov a cliffhanger betveen parts vun und two.

Ja! Hy tink he iz probably a tenor too. He kind of... hy know dis sounds veird, but he kind of looks like vun.
(Havink said dat, hy do know qvite a lot of singers. Und de tenors are normally de liddle viry vuns. Mind hyu, dis is baroque und early music, not opera, vhere hyu get tenors vot look like, vell, Signor Pavarotti.)

Ho, also, Mister Vooster pointed zumtink out to me earlier. He is very schmot ven he schtops panicking for a moment und uses his brains. He says dis creature couldn't have seen Brodder Otto because it crushed heem ven it knocked down der vall, zo it doesn't see "monks". It yust sees vun monk, dis being Brodder Ulm. Derefore it tinks de rest of der party iz monks, und derefore it can't see as vell as hyu'd tink.
Of course, dey schtill all got to run like hell right now.

Hy think big eyeballs is gud for distance viewing, but not so much for close up stuff. Espically if it da close stuff moves a lot... like running away.

*drops both masks for a moment* On a serious note, it was kind of weird how I didn't notice the fact that the Eye doesn't see so well until I put myself into Mr Wooster's head for a moment to look at things from his point of view. It is *really* weird to find oneself borrowing the superior intelligence of a fictional character.
I... may need help... :-)

Dot sounds vunderful! Normally, vit opera, vot hyu got is a soprano und a tenor vot fall in luff und a baritone vot tries to schtop dem. But dis vun vould be far more interesting. Hy mean, yust for schtarters hyu got two leading men.
Hy looking forvard to der chorus of Jägers.
