“STOP!” Galanthus flew in front of the Repairman’s face. “Back up a step or two,” the irritable snowdrop fairy demanded.

The Repairman flinched, leaning back a little. Dang, he…she…this character was pretty quick to get into his personal space.

“Oh, uh…” was all he could say for a moment or two. Still, it probably wasn’t a good idea to question this elfin person right now.

“…Okay then.”

He took a look behind him, and tried to mentally measure “steps” for someone like him. A couple of seconds later, he found an answer he liked and shambled back about a foot and a half.

“Why?” he asked, evenly. He couldn’t see any issue from where he was…

smush EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! It was! it WAS everything I hoped for!!! :D she is extremely happy and releases him Whew, I feel better with that out of my system. :D (kitterah)

~~That was weird…~~

Anything else you need, @kitterahsdollhouse?

@redsteckledonionmuung, it was awful! Most of the people there just charged at me screaming about loot and “levels.”

…Now excuse me a moment, I gotta fix that.

[[There will be more to this story later, but as this was sitting in my inbox for a LONG time, I thought I’d at least tell the start of it.]]

Finally, I’m glad to say no, I don’t boil when I’m mad. I think I would if I had ears for steam to come out of.

[[Also, I don’t think I should have to say this, but just in case: I do NOT condone the use of a boiler for personal hygiene. The Repairman would not like it so much if he was (a) not a Toon and (b) not liquid. I do not recommend going inside an active boiler, furnace, whatever for any reason. At least wait till it’s off and cool before you go in for maintenance or something. Okay, end of PSA.]]
