so... how long till the 5th of November in universe?
We're in January at the moment, so a little while til it rolls around again!
GNU Poodle, your open-source canine companion.
hsssss
Something tells me that Lei's not so unwilling a participant in this affair...
I'll keep my mussings to myself, though- it's more fun waiting to see if I've surmised right. :-D
It's a good thing Sid had almost finished his tea, the way he's waving that mug around.
Of course, gunpowder. Because giant bugs with razor-sharp pincers weren't dangerous enough, we have to add explosives to the mix! (Not complaining, mind you; a healthy helping of BLAM! makes everything more exciting. Just noting a fact.)
I am all for more explosions.
"The quantity of high explosive required varies directly as the square of the size of the social problem."
“And I am informed that that is false.”
Hands up anybody who DIDN'T think Sid's magical kleptomania was going to come into play about here.
Anybody with your hand up - how does it feel to be slow?
Does this make Sid a cute purse cutpurse?
Oh god that was so horrible, it turned out amazing.
It just hit me - adventures involving gnus and poodles wouldn't be all that inconceivable considering Harry's embarrassment in the early part of this story.
Step 1: Fill motile magic bugs with explosives
Step 2: Order them to track a target/s of choice and blow up
It is the perfect smart bomb, an ultimate in stealthy assassination weapons
Yeah, nothing says "stealthy" like a giant mechanical bug.
Sounds like Vee's and my handwriting are very similar.
Some time later:
Vee: Ah you found me! But you'll never defeat my GNU POODLE ARMADA!
Harriet: ...
Sidney: Told you so
Note to self make fan comic
She is making attack-drones.
Cute purses are criminals who dazzle their victims with purses so cute that in the midst of it all, they steal their money.
