Panel beating help?

I have returned. As has Nico. Safe and sound and not a scratch, which is more than I can say for my poor Broomstick. Anyone at the mansion want to see to it for me?

We also picked up a hitch hiker along the way, sort of. Marie-Ange is back, and she'll be in my spare room for the duration until we work out various Stuff.

The office was formerly David's, and the clocks belonged to him. I did not think it was appropriate to smash them, he may need them. For all I know they hold his drugs.

If they have his drugs and you're mailing them then you have a world of problems waiting for you, don't you? The smashed ones could always have gotten banged up in shipping. Pain and suffering tax.

Jubilee is mailing them. I presume she knows how to handle that sort of thing.

I have no particular issue with David or his clocks, they are just not to my personal taste.

I'm actually inordinately fond of David, but I hated his clocks.

I may have disliked them more had they been on when I took possession of the office. All their batteries had run out, so there was no cuckooing or ticking.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're exploiting an unfair advantage on me. I see how it is. My last memories of that office involved them tick-tocking away and cuckooing at really inconvenient moments.

This is why everyone should go on an extended 'working vacation' to New Orleans and return with an unhealthy knowledge of Ibotenic acid. You acquire a new office with no annoying clock noises.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

So you went to New Orleans and did a bunch of shrooms? Is that the moral of the story? Trippin' on shrooms = new cuckoo-less office?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Ibotenic acid is a neurotoxin. I made a friend in the Medical Examiner's office.

I have never done 'shrooms. I am told I am very cuddly when high, but that was a brownie.

My very, very cursory web search said it came from mushrooms and was a hallucinogenic. I may have stopped there since it's sort of late and my brain wants me to be asleep already.

I have trouble imagining you as cuddly.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

It is hallucinogenic in humans in "small" doses. In larger ones it can cause seizures.

Ask Amanda. She is the one I cuddled.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Seizures seem fun, sort of like getting the earthquake experience without moving to California.

I'll be sure to ask her about that.

I'll make sure to check them for both illicit and non-illicit drugs before I ship them. They're currently being cocooned in packaging and handled like baby birds. Since I have no desire for David to decide upon vengence for mishandled clocks and come try to clean mine.
