    A talking pup asking for no more skritchies!

      And I concede my hypothesis that the serial maimer is Sweetheart possessed wasn’t peculiar enough. 😉

    Perhaps Papa Legba will become more helpful when someone brings him some coffee.

        None for me, thanks. Keeps me awake.

    And your girlfriend is an actual zombie. And you work with a guy in a dress who can teleport at will if there’s a date involved, and a guy who’s a man and a helicopter, and his girlfriend who’s Madder than a hatter, but refuses to admit it.

    And that’s just the ones you brought on this trip… to an island populated by zombies.

    Exactly what part of the whole situation isn’t mighty downright peculiar.

      The 7-11 down the street? No, wait, that was built on an ancient dinosaur burial mound.

        Florida didn’t exist between the end-Cretaceous event and the beginning of the Miocene. As the Wikipedia:Geology_of_Florida page says, “No land animals were present in Florida before the Miocene.”

        Note that I did not write that it was impossible, but as long as you’re referencing peculiarity, you should be aware just exactly how peculiar what you’re writing is.

          There were aquatic dinosaurs.

            I’m not sure if you mean Spinosaurus (which was semiaquatic at best, and would probably not have been doing anything in the far ocean area that Florida would eventually form in), or animals like mosasaurs, ichthyosurs, plesiosaurs, and pliosaurs, which were not dinosaurs but might be colloquially considered to be by laypersons, and which also all went extinct at the end-Cretaceous event. Either way, any putative bone beds of any large animals at all in what is now the south Florida area at the end of the Cretaceous would have been covered by a thousand or so feet of sediment and coral reefs over the 66 million years after the end of the Cretaceous.

          These were time-travelling Pleistocene dinosaurs who perished in their war with Lemuria.

            Come to think of it, there /was/ a servicedino’s graveyard outside Dino Seabase Epsilon last time I visited. This is all making sense now.

            Yes, the Greek alphabet was invented by dinosaurs.

            Did you really need to get the bizarre mess that was Chrono Cross’s plot stuck in my head again. Now I need to hunt down the box my PS2 ended up in and piece the weird time travel edit war together again.

        It’s a dino graveyard, but if a more recent vintage due to a Mad in the fifties reading too many pulp comics and considering the possibilities.

    Anybody else’s reading voice (or whatever the term is) for Remmy drop an octave or 3 in the last few pages?

      Nah. I always kind of hear him as a baritone anyway. For Papa Legba, I just hear more of a Caribbean accent – sort of a cross between Haitian Creole, Jamaican, and Cajun.

      Like I said yesterday, I hear Remy speak in a standard Yat accent, which tends to lower your speaking voice as it is. I hear Papa Legba speak in more of a Cajun accent, which tends to raise your speaking voice.

      After Live and Let Die, if Baron ever shows up he will sound like Geoffrey Holder and no one else. Not even a generic Caribbean-Creole accent, but specifically like Geoffrey Holder.

    He could just give her scritches, but what kind of guy would he be if he gave her unconsensual scritches?

    So, Sweetheart was able to piece together herself that it was likely Pavane in the dream.

      Well, she had more than enough clues.

    Well…Gavotte was British, but I thought Pavane was born in the USA. That wouldn’t make her an *alien*…

      As was mentioned in Virginia’s VR trip, all bees are alien. It’s not a geographical or a citizenship thing. It’s a planetary and a biological thing.

    Papa Legba has a much thinner neck and sharper cheekbones than Remy.

    Maybe he’s actually bees too.

    But how do the missing big toes figure into it?

      Probably some sort of binary counting on their digits.
