Not sure, DD. What did you miss?

*ing-ingle**head pops back in*
Pardon me FC, in my preoccupation I missed you there.

So very pleased to meet you. Hope to see more of you at a later time. (relatively speaking, of course)

ta
*ingle-jingle-tink*

you *want* to see more of me.... now your scaring me!!! nand I have no idea either DD!!!

Hi, FC! Have you been surviving the party?

Going by the stain on the cafe counter, my guess is you missed your mouth.....

its a bit quiet at the mo actually RB.... just me and EV... its been really busy while i wasnt there... conspiracy theory methinks!!!

That's the way it goes, FC! Last time I was there, it was going quite well, and you weren't there. But at least you have the satisfaction of knowing it was a great party while you were gone when you come back to clean up the mess we left!

typical huh!!! I'm just not on at the right time... at the mo, its just me left tidying things up till the next crowd come in!!! never mind....

*bounds in looking decidedly impish, and sings in a childish sort of way*

l have an iiiiddeeeeaa....
Hee.

Redbeard, are you done with the arts section of the newspaper?

*without really waiting for reply, commandeers it, spreading it over the floor, and begins to rummage about in her knapsack, withdrawing the following:
an acetlyline blowtorch, several rather ominously bent spanners, a screwdriver, a scalpel, a soldering kit, a spatula, several rolls of copper wire, magnets, and two bundt-cake pans*

Hee hee.

*with a maniacal grin, sets about dismembering the cake pans with the blowtorch, but quietly, keeping the sparks well away from all other customers*

ummm... you feeling alright Odra????

Uh... Hi, Odradek...
Yes, I'm done with the arts section.
*realizes it doesn't matter*


Hmmm... Folks, you may want to avoid that back corner of the café where Odradek's spread out. She's about to get 'creative'

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Have you always been like this Odra, or have I just missed your creative side! And what on earth are you making????

*a worried man cowers behing the red velvet couch*

*perks up head and speaks (while clenching a crescent wrench in her teeth, so it's a bit muffled...)

Oh, hush, Redbeard. 'S all for the good of the portal safari, y'know...oh, blast. What did l do with that hadronization-chamber timing belt?

*rummages again, distracted*

*triumphantly waves about a small metal object*

Found it!

l am making a...hm. l'm not sure what to call it, but it's going to be darned cool, it is.

*banging and clanking noises ensue*

*hands Odra one from her vortex* that what you were looking for Odra????

Ooo, thanks, Fashion Cat! l can probably raise the nucleosynthesis rate exponentially with two...*starts to perform some hasty calculations, decides she doesn't have time, and just decides to use both of them anyway.*

sorry simulpost!!! its looking rather.... ummm.... interesting at the mo odra!

It certainly is interesting. Curious as to how the spatula will be used
