>Looking toward the cabin, you think you see two tiny people messing around on the porch. You don't know if they are faeries or something else.

>"Don't get bifurcated!" the older-looking faerie says as you depart.
>You approach the cabin. It is a simple-looking place, white-washed and large enough to look comfortable, but not so much as to look ostentatious. It has a few windows, all covered by curtains with little patterns sewn on them. A simple wooden deck lays in front of the door, with a couple chairs and a little table there. As you get closer, you note that the two figures from before are dolls, dressed in similar-looking black dresses with white aprons, both are scrubbing the deck with brushes.

>The dolls flies to the door and opens it, disappearing inside and closing it. The other doll stays where she is, watching you. Being unable to read her face, it is a little disturbing. Who knows what she is think? After a moment, the door opens again, and a blonde woman in a blue dress with a white caplet steps out. You note a few traces od saw dust clinging to her clothes. She regards you for a second, then says, "Do you need something?"
