Summary
Thread starts here.
The Lady Tere accuses Thom of being "one of those boys who thinks that the only way to learn is to take apart." Bingo. She asks what the poor dismembered camera does, and he explains. Kind of. They are both puzzled by its artist-less magic-less state. The Lady Tereasks if he sings. He is musically ignorant. She plays the hammer dulcimer and they talk Poe. They both prefer poetry to stories. Thom admits that he does some magic. The music reminds him of his sister, so they talk family. The Lady Tereexplains about the heavenly spheres and lets him play too. But then she brings out his sphere followed by his sister's and it makes him cry and run away.
Paul yells at the Lady Tere for being noisy. She teases him and calls him fussy. Paul suggests "socially maladjusted" and she calls him wallflowerish. Paul is enraged and they argue. Also kind of. Paul spits at her. They don't get along some more. Paul serves no one and is in a swell position but is not happy. And that's pretty much that.
Thom calls Paul rude and tries to find out what the camera casing is made of. Paul is very unhelpful but does provide Thom with an icepick. He smashes what's left of the camera with it and they talk about broken and dying things. Thom almost murders his foot with the icepick but Paul doesn't want it back. He encourages Thom to use it on whatever/whoever but that's not Thom's style. A big black spider crawls out of Paul's mouth and Thom sets it on fire. Paul thinks Thom's purple magic is fruity. Thom doesn't speak that language and wants know what it means. Paul says maybe Thom ain't [a poof] and not to worry about it but no such luck. Paul says it means a sexual pervert and Thom is really pissed and turns him into a fish. Paul seems to be trying to pull a Blubber. Please know what I meant by that. Thom fixes him and Paul runs away, threatening that Thom'll pay as he does so.
Meg thinks Thom's icepick-waving is pretty funny and has a conversation with the Lady Tere in French. They talk about the Opera, and Meg's mom, and whether the Lady Tere can get Meg a job. She can, but in Vienna. Meg won't leave her mom to go to Vienna and asks if the Lady Tere knows what's happened to Christine. The Lady Terethinks Vienna would be good for her and asks her if she means Christine Daae. And then [presumably] Meg-mun's computer has a stroke and that's the end of that.
And Jill already summarized what happened with Jane, so I'm done. Yay Jill!

It wouldn't be very nice behind a dresser either.
