<ponders the concept of mess, and decides it doesn't apply here since for something to be messy, it had to be not-messy first>

<Pleads vegatarianism as a polite yet firm refusal of 198505's proffered arm>

<Wonders when 198505's arm got turned into that of a chicken.>

<Offers own marshmallow-covered, steak-flavored arm for comparison.>

<Looks at holy man>

<Explains to Musesusan that when he fell to bits, he just picked up the nearist parts and that seemed to fit,>

< is unsure exactly where the chicken came from>

<Looks at holy man again>

<thinks a catholic priest might not be the best person to try a this, his boss maybe, but not a priest>

<wonders why the disassemblance and reassemblance of 198505 has been the main subject of this non-violent treehouse>

<pulls a card table out from behind a chair and sets it up with an appropriately frilly tablecloth>

<Holds up a sign: Actually, only the first two threads were specifically non-violent.>

<Holds up another sign: And if you recall, it was Martin's accidental death and Andy's kind attempt to revive him that started this whole thing.>

<Points to slightly frazzled brain helmet lying on floor as explanation as to why Martin can't remember anything. Notices rather large hole in it but nudges the helmet so that side isn't visible>

<Brings a cake tower stacked with appropriately yummy-looking multicoloured cupcakes, reclines back on squashy armchair and sighs contentedly. She's been away from the fforum for far too long.>
