Denicitizens of The City:
I require someone to provide me with a 'gun' or 'firearm' and teach me the use of such a weapon. There will be payment involved.
That said...
I found a snake in my wardrobe hiding from the snow and have yet to name it. Anyone who heard me scream will pretend nothing happened. I looked it up in one of the books I took from the library and it looks like a
Drymarchon corais couperi, more often found in the south-east of the U.S.A. Since the kitten doesn't take much advantage of the abundance of rodents abiding in the Opera House (admittably the least of our worries) perhaps the snake will deal with it.
I'm going to go find something to be used as firewood. Gas heaters are all well and good, but a nice fire is always heart-warming or something like that.
