GPE 2024 : Terrifying Triffidery

 

 You made it.  Splendid.  Welcome to the fifth annual Terrifying Triffidery show!

The hors d'oeuvres are here!

Hang on... I didn't think we were serving our Bloggerati guests with food?

We're not.  We're serving them as food!  The triffids are getting peckish and without Gavin and his monstrous arms we have no way to hold them back.

We are NOT feeding our guests to a load of house plants with ideas above their station!  And where is Gavin?  I haven't seen him since last year.

I think Maddie made off with him.  Or was it Hound?

Christ!

 

 Ah.  Don't pay the SubCs any attention.  And don't open that door!  Just follow me to the orangery where one of the staff will be serving Champagne or cocktails or something before we begin the tour.

What's Witchface talking about?

We don't have any staff.

Unless you count the woodsman?

I hope he's changing out of that horrid flannel shirt...

 Right.  Let's have some music to accompany our tour.  Oh, and remember to keep all your appendages on this side of the velvet rope - unless you don't need them, that is.  And some of the triffids' tendrils and tentacles are quite long, so be on your guard.

TT#1 : Who sent in these horrible, horrible little mouths full of teeth?!?

 

TT#2 : Roll out the red carpet - Audrey II has arrived!

 

TT#3 : Yaaaaaaarrgh!  Moss Monsters!!

 

TT#4 : A dragon's head?

 

TT#5 :  Bats!  Bats!!  Or are they more horrible, horrible teeth?

TT#6 : Would whoever left this interdimensional fissure open please close it before whatever it is that's coming through comes through!

TT#7 : Oh, good.  Just what we need: Tentacles.

TT#8 : Mouldy old severed limb, anyone?  No?  Can't please some people.

TT#9 : Oh, Christ.  Tapeworm city!

TT#10 : Purple, people-eating penguins perhaps?

 Did you all make it through unscathed?  Or at least in one piece?

 Yes?  Drat!  That means I'll have to find some more people to feed to these triffids.  

 Don't mind Witchface.  We hope you've had fun perusing the specimens - can you guess who snapped each Triffid and what seemingly benign plant they were propogated from?  While you think about it, have some rather more upbeat music to accompany your comments.  And remember to pop back for the main event which starts in a couple of days time!
