"Thank you. As for the nutrimatic..." she holds up a finger and
checks under the bar. She unfolds a sheet of paper and studies
it. "Apparently it's been recalled. Looks like the entire line
of nutrimatics has been sent back to the factory to be scraped."

She frowns slightly. "Hmmm. No refund will be given for the
one that was here because of unauthorized modifications.
Paddy's NOT going to like that."

She makes no attempt to stop him.

She snorts. "Amongst other things, yeah."

"Sadly no singing, but, I have insulted a few mothers. I _could say I

"We call them Arcanum. I've heard of them, most people have, but
hardly anyone knows anything about them. They do have a tendency
to turn up at the most awkward times though.. at least so I've
heard."

Jonathon clearly knows a bit more than he's saying.

Jonathon.
(OOC: I know. The house my parents bought in 1971 for 13,000
(and considered not buying as it was so expensive) is now priced
at 150,000 (according to what a neighbours house went for last
week). Most of the price increase seems to have been in the last
ten years.

"Vampires wanting blood that doesn't taste like fruit juice,"
she responds. "Apparently, it was busted from the beginning and
