Uniforms' color theme, I guess. Or Emil's so poor now that he needs to arm himself with a stapler gun to enter the cleansers.

Upon finding a dead animal skeleton in the forest (a crow in my case) your first response is to hang its skull in a tree. (I washed my hands throughly after, don't worry)

... when you read this and your first question actually is, "how does a human climb so far up into a treetop that he can stick something as light as a crow skull onto the highest branches?"

(You were standing on the ground next to a tree the appropriate size for a crow, right?)

Big tree, and a tree that I've been climbing since I was very young, so I know how to climb it pretty well.

You get chatting with someone while waiting at the airport for a delayed flight (as you do) and when she mentions she's been to Iceland, you grill her for the next hour on everything. What she saw, where she went, what the people were like, did she see lava? Did she see sheep???

I sure hope there was a recommendation for her to read SSSS thrown in that conversation too ;)

... when you use the setting of the story (i.e. postapocaliptic world with rune magic and such), and some characters, while playing with dolls with your friend and a daughter of "friends of the family". The poor girl didn't get any of it, me and the friend (who is, hereby, very interested in reading the comic) on the other hand, had a wonderful time.
[For clarification, as I feel obliged to add this, it's not that we are terrible babysitters who prefer to have good fun over entertaining the child under our care. It's more that we strongly disagree with upbringing methods used by the parents to emotionally shelter the girl (who is, my days, almost 13), so we basically throw every single interesting cultural piece at her to see what could stick.]

Also, "most best" is basically Correct English by now, is it not?

...apparently there is a TV series entitled Fortitude that was shot in Iceland and which somehow ended up on my recommendations list? *would seriously consider watching this if I had the bandwidth to effectively stream*

Oh, nice, it was shot in Iceland? I've never seen it, but I still used it as inspiration for one of my fanfics (which I need to continue with one day but dear lords, even though I'm a Swede I'm terrible at writing crime...)!
