FESTERON
MAGICK SHOPPE MAGICK GLASSES
An official pair of
Festeron Magick Shoppe Magick Glasses was the
prize for the winning the
WFES Winning Contest. Though the
original
postman of Festeron was not given this gift, eventually, all postmen
after him were gifted with this enchanted objects on their first visit
to the Festeron Ye Olde Magick Shoppe on a night which
Gladys
chose to enact the
Witchville curse.
These
glasses were
comprised of black plastic frames, complete with brown eyebrows,
attached to a pink plastic nose and a brown plastic mustache beneath.
The entire world as seen through the glasses was different; showing it
as it really was. Anything non-magical was represented as dull brown (a
perfectly symbolic color), while any enchanted object glowed with
an inner light, thus showing the wearer what truly was magic. While the
glow of one enchanted object frequently varied from another, each
object resonated with a single color. But the glasses also had a second
effect--during the duration of the Witchville curse, any hidden evil
desires of the heart would be made manifest for the entire population
of the island (save a few). When the glasses were worn by a cursed
individual, the enchantment would be broken, returning them to their
innocent Festeronian self. The glasses only worked when they were
physically on somebody; therefore, when removed, the curse would
return. One last function of these glasses were their ability to
function as 3D glasses in movie theater, enabling the current postman
to discover the location of Gladys' secret laboratory.
A rule
had been established between the three sisters (
Y'Gael,
Hortense,
Gladys) that
the Festeron Magick Shoppe Magick Glasses were not allowed to be
destroyed. At least once, during the reign of
Simon the Postman, Gladys
did break this rule, by grinding them into the floor with her foot,
which was one of five
reasons that the other two sisters broke the rule of not directly
aiding
the postman in the attempt to stop Gladys' plans.
