Hector! O Hector!

Just a reminder that if you're coming to the Familiars' Hospital session on Saturday at 5, you can bring materials that might be of service. Since all of the accidents, we've had to assemble this very suddenly, and have jobs and no cars, so we'll only have what we can find at C.H. Martin and the Closeout Corner.

In particular, Hector's tail appears to have been lost, and there's a hole ready for some purpose (come on, now); people have suggested a horn but I don't know if we can find something on such short notice; he also has a chunk taken out of his rump that something might be done with.

The rubber chicken has its front split open; we could save herim simply by applying Household Goop to the wound, but there may be less obvious solutions as well.

Thankfully, we did manage to save Miss Rickett's tongue; and since it was on ice, it can still be reattached.

Also if anyone has Household Goop (TM); Plumbing Goop (TM) would do alright in a pinch I GUESS but a word to the wise: nothing bonds rubber flesh like Household Goop (TM), I've learned from experience.

We do plan to have face masks for everyone so that none of the ailing familiars contracts anything (at least through the nose).


Here are some close-ups of Hector's damage:

Another thing occurs to me to tie this triage back into the group now adding their presence, or absence, of the Lost & Found Gallery--the donkey-head puppet that presently holds poor Hector's skull together was a gift to me from Angee.

So, alan, what's YOUR connection to Hector Clam?

we're working on it. we're going to get together for a drink, you know, somewhere quiet; start to get to know each other and we'll see what happens from there.

it may involve my toenails. but it's best for all concerned if we don't rush things.

Take my advice alan: nothing takes you straight to a horse's heart like a bouquet of toenails.
