Chapter 7: The Ballroom

“Why get stuck in mud when you shine like the sun?”A rumbling Thunderstorm at the Inn. The Keeper introduces us to Arlyn, the laundress for the Inn.  She takes us up to the Grand Ballroom, tucked away in the broom closet on the 4th floor, reserved for guests from the Irrational Realms. We meet the visiting ghost of the Ballroom, the Duchess von Dallion.  She tells us the story of how Brer Rabbit tricked the Family with the race he set up between Cousin Dust and Cousin Rain. We are reminded that it’s always a good idea to prepare, no matter the weather. The Duchess gently reminds us of our worth and helps us fill out a dance card with our own destiny.Arlyn The Laundress…………Tea SankaraThe Grand Duchess Destinia von Dallion…………Victoria WeatherspoonDedicated with love to my Auntie Cynthia: thank you for showing the way and always saving room for the old tales.If you found refuge and peace here at the Inn and would like to help us keep the hearth fire burning (plus receive bonus content like additional poems and readings) please visit our website at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.acornartsandentertainment.com/theinn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or you can join our Patreon community at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/acornartsandentertainment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for even more cool stuff, and to help us create more shows just for you. A transcript for this episode is available on our website at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.acornartsandentertainment.com/theinn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music credits:Harp Music by Youtube Creator @PositivityandMusicShelter Song, Tavern Loop One, Village Ambiance Alexander Nakarada @ CreatorChords
