Maxl is unceremoniously dumped into the Garden.
Maxl has arrived.
Maxl hits on Terry, as per usual.
Terry chirps quietly, "Hi, Maxl."
Maxl hisses, "Hey.  What's up?"
Terry pricks her finger with a claw, and drops a single drop of blood on
 Maxl's nose. Just in case that's what he wants.
Maxl licks off the blood.  "Hrm.  No, that's not it, Terry."
Terry chirps quietly, "What *do* you want, Maxl?"
Maxl hisses, "I don't know, Terry.  Give me everything and then I'll pick
 out what I want."
Max arrives, with a minimum of wordage.
Max has arrived.
Terry gives Maxl Max.
Max says, "Hallo."
Terry chirps quietly, "Take this wolverine, oh great badger!"
Max says, "I'm a gift?"
Terry chirps quietly, "I prefer 'sacrifice'."
Terry chirps quietly, "Because then I get to stab you."
Max says, "Ooh. Promise?"
Terry chirps quietly, "Only if Maxl wants you. He's not really sure what he
 wants."
Waydya hands Terry a sacrifical dagger.
Max says, "Is anyone?"
Terry brandishes it.
Terry pokes Max. "Lie down, please."
Maxl hisses, "Hey, Max."
Maxl slurps Max!  
Max licks Maxl!  
Max says, "Hey, Maxl."
Max ows. "I don't know if I want to."
Maxl hrms.
( I'll tell you what I want what I really really want... )
Maxl hugs Max protectively.  "You are *not* stabbing him."
Terry nods. "Okay. Well, we ruled that out. What next?"
Terry chirps quietly, "Do you want me to stab you, Maxl? I can give you
 that easy. Got a knife right here."
Max chirps, and leans against Maxl. "Thanks, cos."
Maxl hisses, "I'd like to see your head on a plate, Terry."
Max says, "Ooh."
Terry chirps quietly, "Anyone got a plate?"
Max says, "Y'know, I have a splitting maul, somewhere. That might be
 interesting."
Maxl oos.
Terry chirps quietly, "A what?"
Waydya produces a plate and holds it under Terry's chin. "Okay, there you
 go."
Max says, "Its like a sledgehammer with one end sharpened like an axe."
Terry chirps quietly, "Ow."
Maxl pats Terry between the ears, and hrms. "No, that's not it. Maybe if
 there was some blood."
Waydya pours some tomato sauce on the plate and arranges some vegetables
 around Terry's head.
Terry bites a big apple in her mouth.
Waydya puts a sprig of parsley behind Terry's left ear.
Terry heehees. 'That tickles."
Maxl ooos.
Maxl hisses, "Now *that's* nice."
Maxl hisses, "How much to get that for a party or something?"
Terry chirps quietly, "I charge $20 an hour, I don't know how much Waydya
 costs for the setup."
Maxl hisses, "I'd just actually cut off your head, Terry."
Muki softly barks, "Oh no.."
Maxl hisses, "And do unspeakable things with it."
Terry chirps quietly, "Well, if you want to cut off my head you'll have to,
 like, do it while I'm not looking, so it wouldn't cost much of anything at
 all."
Waydya eeps.
Terry chirps quietly, "Unless I saw you coming. :)"
Maxl hrrms..
Maxl hisses, "Max, you distract her, and I'll chop off her head."
( Off with her head! )
Maxl hisses, "S'cuse me, folkses."
Maxl slurps Max!  
Maxl kisses Terry!  Terry looks confused for a few seconds, then blinks.
Maxl is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth.
Maxl has left.
( Here comes the candle to light you to bed )
( Here comes the chopper to chop off your head )
Max says, "Foo."
Terry chirps quietly, "So how *were* you planning to distract me?"
Max winks. "You don't really want to know, do you?"
