*looks a touch motion sick*

Ummm... Marv, do you think you could put the sofa down now... I... urp...

*turns a lovely shade of green and tries to focus on looking out the window rather than the movement of the sofa*

......Couldn't see anything in the library but I was too chicken to remove any books from the shelves to look behind them.....

Okay, if it's not in the library, or in the kitchen....hey, wait. Could it be IN Matina?!!!?!??!?! Did someone slip it into the mbout...those pastry things I can't pronounce?

{[caer csd] *thinking what fun it would be to have a dog to take to work on National Take Your Dog to Work Day, except that she works from home and that the would object to a trying to squash onto the in tray with her.*

Oh dearie me, I wish we had some sort of clue to go on. }

[Amy] - not here. Eyes now too sore for words .

[BB]

Nipping in during his lunch break and hoping things don't go with a bang.

Amy
Hope your eyes clear up quickly

Speaking of the floor plans, who is that in the lower right corner? I never noticed that figure before.

We could try having Zeppo sniff out the bomb, but since he is a cardboard cutout of the real Zeppo, he's sense of smell is not quite as good and leans towards sniffing out pictures of things.

Zeppo, find it!

/* Zeppo puts his nose to the ground and begins sniffing around the Atelier. */

And thanks for the reminder about bring your dog to work day, Caer. I completely forgot. I think he'll get a half day in the office.

Amy

*or at least would if Marv would put the couch down...*

labrynth-like area lower right is art gallery, atelier's original reason for existence

Fondly remembering the Banned Researcher.

Is the Atelier able to get radio signals from San Francisco? I just did a live interview on KGO about our book banning.
Is it a small world or what?

Thanks Amy and Titania for information about Atelier. Amy, hope the eyss get better soon.

Hypatia - does KGO have a web broadcast?

[not here]

Just found it: http://www.kgoam810.com/

There's a button for the webcast near the top of the page. Hypatia, who interviewed you?

The man who interviewed me is Ed Baxter. I just got a call from our local paper. Seems the AP has picked it up. That must be where they heard about it. I was told that KGO is a large station. Let them eat ! (meaning the school board.)

*The elevator doors open and a team of securibots fans out around the Atelier and commences a search for the bomb. Various beeps and flashes are heard and seen in all of the rooms as the bots scan each one. Slowly, they reassemble in the main lounge, each shaking his head negatively at the leader. Once the last one is back, the group looks nervously at the door to the last room they haven't checked. Finally, they work up their collective courage and the leader strides over and yanks open the door to...the Linen Closet. They hang back momentarily, then all enter as a group.

Over the next short while, securibots exit the Closet with various items:
some knitting needles with the monogram WM scratched on the side;
a ball, slightly chewed;
a CD entitled "Queen of the Swirley-eyed Ant Monkeys;
a map of New England, with tourist stops marked;
an "I Missoula" bumper sticker;
an "I left my in Missoula" bumper sticker;
an embossed waistcoat button;
a small kit containing some stuffing, a needle and some thread;
a bottle of never-ending champagne with an elf on the label;
a box of holy brownies with an archbishop's seal on them;
a very tiny set of flying goggles;
a bookmark with "SHHHHH!" and a list of banned books printed on it;
a piece of wedding cake;
a bottle of hair restorer with BB written in magic marker on the label;
a little black book with USC embossed on the cover, full of men's names with up to 5 stars beside them.

Finally, the bots exit the Linen Closet, looking traumatised, but relieved. The file back into the elevator and just before the doors close, the leader gives a thumbs-up to the room.*

* deeply suspicious of the bottle of alleged "hair restorer"*

[not here]

The bottle! I was beginning to think I'd never see it again - I wonder how it ended up in the linen closet?

hey! That's where my bumper sticker went....do you think Marv would mind if we dug into those brownies? Looking for a bomb is hard work!
