You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If you go into Spoilers, posts 1731-1746 are about the first two hours of the new season.

(Discussion of hours 3-4 start at post 1747, so unless you don't mind being spoiled, scroll carefully.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

she came from a door that cannot be opened from the outside.

What did she say to you, Sophia? Exactly what did she say??? It will be important in the upcoming battle between good and evil.

Allyson--this is your gas oven that's the problem? I know the question sounds dense, but the gas people should be a little more eager to come fix stuff even if it isn't your apartment's heat that's fucked.

As for things and their accomplishedness, I can't but feel I should have learnt a new language by now, or be ready to swim the English Channel. I haven't even managed to do groceries for days, despite have left the house.

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

It will stay lit after I let go of the gas valve ater holding it open for a minute, it's when I turn it from "PILOT" to "ON" that it will go out after a minute.

My boss says the thermocouple is bad. That's the sensor thing that detects whether the pilot light is lit. The furnace will cut off the gas to the pilot light if the thermocouple does not sense that the pilot light is lit.

What is even happening?

Shouldn't the landlord have to hire a plumber? Plumbers work on natural gas related thingamabobs.

This is Allyson's landlord we're talking about.

I suggest lots of hot chocolate and baking in the meantime.

It's really hard to work when everyone else has left early because of a bit of snow.

Foo. I just heard back from the tire place, and my poor tire has an unrepairable sidewall tear. I'd better call the dealership, there's always the possibility that the tire is under some sort of warranty....

Will someone come yell at me until I do my laundry?
