Week Nine - Week Ten 2007
Week Nine
(Tamyn-Leigh's initial costume designs...)
Day One: My world domination plan
My plan for world domination will not happen over night, every step is thought out in intricate detail. It is imperative, therefore, that I must commence my forty-day plan (to take over the world) now! I must leave no place untouched by the breath of winter, however this is just one part of my cunning plan.
Today I have convinced the gullible Snow Queen to shatter the mirror and release Wolf, the nastier half of the unity. While the Snow Queen is distracted by Wolf – I shall control winter's grip on the earth. By the time she realises what I am up to – it will be too late.

(... will help in creating stronger characters)
We've shattered the Glass Mirror that held Evil in its vice-like grip, and now He's free... abroad.... roaming the Earth.
Oh how I love the smell of Winter in the morning!

Glimmer's Interests... I love to play outside the Ice Palace and in the snow. Snowball fights are really fun too. Hehe last time Sparkle and I put a HUGE snowball on Glisten's head *giggle*, that was funny. I really like to eat strawberry slushies. Skipping rope is fun to play too. I like to do everything that is fun!

Day Ten:
Winter has now gripped half of the
globe, and the rest will soon follow. Picture a world where you can not escape
winter, and the fur trade is rampant! Where could people go to get the finest
furs in the entire world? Well, perhaps an abandoned
Lord Hemlock
What is going on here?!? I AM THE ICE QUEEN AND THE ONE TRUE RULER OF THE ARCTIC WORLD OF WINTER!!! One of my loyal subjects tipped me off to you and your so-called Snow Queen. I will let you continue this charade for the time being but be warned, I AM WATCHING YOU, DWARVEN IMPOSTER!!!
The Snow Queen
My Queen, I can explain!!!! I am excited by winter's grip on the earth - because it means 'YOUR' plan is working. When I say an 'abandoned Ice Palace', it means that you will soon have to move to a larger palace. A truly powerful ruler, as you soon will be, cannot command your followers from such an uninhabitable icicle. All of your juggling and drawing would not be able to stop... me from calling the moving company 'Hemlock Inc'. Their motto states that if you're not 'permanently evicted' in time, you'll receive a complementary fur coat! I'm sorry, your majesty - once again, this is just a total misunderstanding!!!! Your loyal servant - always, Hemlock.
