Ok, I have a question! Related to a different page, not the recent one. Why in the world Tara asks Torbjörn to show her his foot on page 106, Adventure 1?? Did I miss something or... is it something that plays some role? I was rereading the SSSS (in the book format, because I got the first two books for Christmas. It’s so good! Those books are just amazing!..) and I noticed that side-phrase between Taru and Torbjörn and started wondering  :'D

[Raaffiie]

Annuil, I think it was because Taru had been told Swedes had six toes :'D

EDIT: Not six but four, JoB has the right of it

You might want to reread this page.

Ooooh! Now I see! I didn’t even think of that! I didn’t think she actually believed it and wanted to check it :'D :'D :'D

So . . . stair bears. Where bears? On stairs. Bears glare. Prepare for scares from stair bears.

Who dares to bear their stares?

... OK, not gonna bring up the star's mares for the cart of Ares or somesuch, whoever the upcoming deus ex'll be can mommybeardrippingly well walk into the scene IMHO.

Oof, horror movie hotel looks great.

I'm beginning to think the hotel is very alive, in the literal sense

JoB, if we want to bring the discussion of rhyming bears around to birds, did you know that as well as the obvious meaning, ‘stare’ is an Irish/English dialect word for ‘starling’?

Can't say that I'm firm in all sorts of English dialects, so no, but starlings are "Stare" (singular "Star") in German, hence, consider it covered.

(Also, "grüner Star" = cataract, "grauer Star" = glaucoma, "schwarzer Star" (rare) = amaurosis, not to mention the connection to glitterati, so bring your trusty machete when we get into that. )

Onni: "Don't blame *me* for splitting the party even though I was the first one to split the party!"

Reynir: "I followed you because you're the only one who knows what's going on!"

Onni: "HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT GET INTO THIS OLD FOOD CUPBOARD"

What was this building, anyway?

The outside shot looked to me like some sort of commercial building; but inside we've got first what looks like some sort of sitting room with a bookcase, then a lot of individual closed-door rooms off a staircase upstairs, then a large kitchen wherever it is that Onni ran to. A hotel with a kitchen for its own restaurant, maybe? I didn't notice anything like a check-in desk, but maybe it just wasn't shown, or looks different there than I'm used to.

Break Sokos Hotel Koli

Thanks! Apparently a hotel was a good guess.

-- from the site just linked, by the way, in the context of this thread made me laugh:

Does your work team need inspiration and never ending peace

-- I'm sure they'd like that! but I doubt it's what they'll be getting.

[catbirds]

Aaaah the full quote makes it funnier!

Does your work team need inspiration and never ending peace to make decisions or to spice up daily routines? Do you need to improve team spirit or do you need a burst of energy?

*shudders* I hope the hotel also provides rampaging bears.

Waxing, anyone?
