Massive multipup sick-day post

They're all there:

• Teja, in the forge, sharpening a sahs;
• Ragnar, by the stables, feeding the goats;
• Father Harman, on the steps of Javert's little church, taking out wilted flowers;
• Hannibal Lecter, in the herb garden by the kitchen's back door, picking basil;
• Galen Erso, by the door of the greenhouse, sorting through a mess of crystals and wires;
• Lady Margolotta, in the darkest corner of the bar, knitting baby shoes.
