Loose screws, and what the cards say.

After close inspection of Dougal, we found that Daft Uisdean's friend had some loose screws.

Magnus laid out his tarot cards on a flat moss bank. He determined not only that someone has been tampering with Dougal's screws but a very grave situation has been unfolding here on the Island.

He laid out the Fool first. Well, we all know who that is - Daft Uisdean. Holy Moley the next card he pulled was the Wheelbarrow of Fortune! The Chariot card told Magnus that Daft Uisdean was pushing his wheelbarrow through the woods, pretending he was a Roman Emperor, which explains the missing toga from Dorcas MacGillicuddy's washing line. The Devil card appeared! Then the Moon, which lets us know that the Devil was a tourist - Daft Uisdean always moons at the tourists. The Strength card indicated a struggle, where Daft Uisdean had gallant spirit. The Two of Swords and the One of Testicles, confirms this fight. The Two of Cups suggests it was a woman (or even a female hippopotamus). Then there was the Tower card, so Magnus thinks that some woman has kidnapped Daft Uisdean to lock him in her upstairs bedroom. The final card was the Lovers, which worries us the most.

More news will be available after Magnus shuffles the cards again.
