SUM-MAR-RY! SUM-MAR-RY!

I like to call this thread Paul's Ladder. It begins with Paul, dressed as an artist, building a ladder out of toothpicks. Anthy comes over, and they have a cryptic discussion about for what or whom the ladder is intended. Hob comes over, and naturally, snark ensues. Paul tells Hob that the ladder is for the wall (in Hob's dream), which breaks Hob-mun's heart. Hob freaks out, breaks a glass, and tells Paul to get out of his dreams. Paul breaks the ladder, tells Hob that he'll be sorry and disappears. Hob goes off to mope to Sirius and bleed on the bartop, but Sam goes to sleep and the thread is left tbc. XD

Anthy wants to ask Hob about Dream . She reveals that her head feels undigested. Things lighten up as Anthy tries to make Hob gossip about the virginity (or lack thereof) of Milliway's patrons, and Hob says that sex is squishy. Anthy mentions peaches, the first sign of her rapid descent into creepy madness. Apparently she hasn't been dreaming. A worried Hob puts her to bed so he can watch over her.

In a different continuity, Anathema asks Paul why he needs the ladder, and very quickly pisses him off. Paul calls Anathema boring, and rattles of an interesting summary of what he is. He also calls Anathema a snake, leading to the invention of thread badgering.

For an explanation of thread badgering,

THREAD BADGERING: FEATURING HOB-MUN (artemisiathegirl) AND ANTHY-MUN (Misericordian):

Misericordian: OMG
Misericordian: ALL YOUR THREAD ARE BELONG TO THEM
artemisiathegirl: OFFERING ADMIRING THEFT OF STRING
Misericordian: A WINNER IS THEM
artemisiathegirl: THE CENTER OF THE NAME IS SNEAKY




Somewhere in the midst of this madness, Hob-mun and Paul-mun realize that they went to college together. It is madness. Sheer madness. Oddsmakers all over the world jump out of windows.

And that about sums it up.

The usual mathematical variables may be left below. Yay!
