the problem with entering otherworlds in the stories is not necessarily some violent threat, some impossible task that must be completed. it is a matter of etiquette. suddenly the rules have all been changed, and the rules are so very important. but if you should go back to the place where you came from, the place whose rules you'd been learning since you were born, the place whose rules should still make sense to you, you'll find that the food lacks all flavour.

We miss you, too.

yes.

maybe there is a recipe that bridges the worlds?

i keep hoping so.

is the moral of the story, that it's better not to go to other worlds? or, just to bring food back to the old one? i would have an other world snack with you... if it's that good :)

no. it is that going home after finding one's otherworld is often very sad.

ohhhhh... i was never very good at these... i usually get the 'other than intended' reading...

[earlofgrey.livejournal.com]

that is important, too.
