They threw us in a cage and there's no key

It was a fair set of questions - what was Louie doing in Unca Scrooge's garden, and why were there tripped traps lying around? Louie had started off by explaining how the other Louie had told him about a rather unique kind of Demon called a Fraggle, and how easy catching one had seemed - low-effort, even.

"...At least, that's what I thought!" Louie groaned, taking a seat in the grass, leaning back against Scrooge's legs. "But I just had to set up, like, my third trap! I wanna see one of these Fraggle-things, but I'm not sure it's worth the work." A beat, and then - with wide eyes - he glanced up at Scrooge. "You don't think Louie's pranking me, do you?"

He wouldn't be entirely surprised, in part because it sounded something like he, himself, might do to one of his brothers.

"It's definitely been a while since I've been back. To tell ya the truth, I kinda miss it." He half-shrugged, looking up some. "I went out to explore, just like my uncle. Besides, I'd mapped every inch of Fraggle Rock, and I wanted something more. I hear plenty with postcards, but I couldn't tell you the last time I saw my friends."

Louie nodded in understanding, although he couldn't help the amused quirk to his brow. He'd never understand these adventurous types, not fully.

"Well, maybe you ought to go visit them. How long does it take to get to Fraggle Rock? Maybe next time I visit Unca Scrooge here, we'll both go..."

"A while, but not as long as you might think!" He brightened out of the contemplative mood, shaking it off easily. "You can never leave the magic, after all."

[talkyourwayout]

"Never leave the magic? Huh... Okay. I'm not sure what that has to do with it, but let's plan for that."

[gobetween]

"It's hard to explain." He rubbed his muzzle, apparently attempting to do just that. "We Fraggles, well we kinda are magic. And I've seen it spread out to other people myself, and I know Fraggle Rock definitely goes places and distances that a cave system doesn't normally."

[talkyourwayout]

He'd figured Fraggles had to be magic, as Demons. Not that he fully understood it all, even now. But it's the "places and distances" comment that catches his interest.

"Hmm... What kind of distance are we talking? I mean, I'm not really from this whole- this whole world, you know. But my uncles have a thing that lets people go between here and home. Can Fraggle Rock do that much?"
