Foaly is in the bar -- you know the drill: three-foot-tall centaur wearing tinfoil hat and lab coat. If you sense an air of foreboding around him, it's only because his mun's other characters are pissed at him because he's been rubbing their noses in the fact that he's the only one with
fan art. (Jessica doesn't count because her fan art is only available on E-Bay to persons above the legal age of consent, and Harry doesn't count because his fan following is larger than God's. And he's a weiner.
A weiner with a very big wand okay put that away come on now you wouldn't attack a poor defenceless magic-lacking centaur would you Harry old buddy old pal??) Also, he always gets shipped with the hot Elf chick.
Ahem.
As usual, he is playing with a mound of electronic equipment that may once have been an actual machine capable of performing programmed tasks. It may do that again in the forseeable future, in fact, though it will come out of its experience irrevocably altered -- sort of like a survivor of a major disaster, like
Lord of the Flies. Oh, yeah. ANYONE who can survive reading that book will come out of it irrevocably altered.
Or were you thinking the metaphor was applicable to the characters in it?
Whatever you were thinking, it was WRONG, and Foaly would be happy to prove it to you nineteen different ways before you can blink.
Yes, he WOULD be, if he wasn't busy with his junk heap. At the moment he's poking around in it with a screwdriver-pliers contraption that would make Carl the friar drool. It's the sort of operation that looks like it requires several university degrees just to SPELL.
Or... it MOSTLY looks that way. The involvement of the teabag might be unexpected to the technologically ignorant (i.e. everyone other than himself).
Feel free to come bother him. He won't
appreciate it
though his mun will, but he'll cope. He came in here knowing the risks of trying to perform open chip surgury in a crowded bar.
