PANEL 1
Inside the car, Fetch points to Tara’s left.
FETCH: Down this road on the left, all the way to the end.
PANEL 2
Exterior: the car drives through a housing development of faerie mounds. A sign says, “Good Neighbors Estates”
TARA: I didn’t know you lived in such a nice neighborhood. Impressive!
FETCH: *snort* This wasn’t here when I left. It was all haunted castles and rotting
logs full of pixies.
PANEL 3
Fetch sticks his head out the window, mouth agape.
FETCH: Wow. One prefab faerie hill after another.
PANEL 4
Same, but Fetch is singing
FETCH: “All made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.”
PANEL 5
Fetch in the car, nauseated. Tara, sardonic.
FETCH: It’s all so … clean! Yeugh.
TARA: Not for long now that you’re back.

Fess up to the TeleTubbies influence, Bilbo! ;-)
OMG – Teletubbies live in sidhe mounds? Are they faeries? WTF are Teletubbies, anyway?
Speaking of which, I came across this Reuters photo while searching news about Libya yesterday.
I thought the Teletubby mound was actually the roof of their space ship.
I think it’s just a house, but the WikiFandom pages are vague about what it is. They don’t mention a spaceship tho. Still, that would explain a lot about what those critters are.
