Allyson, how big are the candles? If they're small, I'd try burning the candles for an hour or more. Then pour off the melted wax, and the remaining wax might be soft enough to push or dig out.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oven mit!
Or that. Trust me to solve an easy problem in a most difficult manner.
If the hot knife doesn't work, pull out the blow torch. You may destroy the tiki torches, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing the citronella candles did not survive the conflagration. They shall bend to your will. Plus, fire.
Edited for context. People need to stop nattering so fast. aurelia, I hope your back feels better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figured since it was referring to several episodes ago it wasn't considered spoilery.
The whole current season of any show is spoilery here. For the UnAmericans among us, and all.
Jesse -- those sound weird. I want them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My back is fine, but thanks for your concern.

Damn. That's what I get for skipping and skimming. Sorry. I do hope you feel better, though.

Heh. No worries, Maria. I'm fine, really.

aurelia, I think what's happened is that you and I both have alter egos that go out and have dashing adventures, but somehow they're refusing to share these exciting memories with us.
Which is quite mean of them, but explains some of these bruises, and a bit of this tiredness.
I at least hope my alter ego is getting laid.
