*is bored. if he were a god, he would start a crackplot, but as he's above manipulating people's lives for his own personal amusement, he's just going to screw with them a bit. for no reason in particular. enlisting the help of a headmate (because being chained to a rock cuts down on mobility), he makes several small labels and attaches them to

He picks up the canister of tea, scrutinizing the label. "What's a crackplot?" he asks no one in particular. "What is 'caffeinated'?"

"Well, that's honest," Sagramore says, poking it.

He smiles. "I do like honey--but the rest of it?"

"I don't know. I think it's someone having a laugh at us." He looks a bit amused himself.

When Gabrielle discovers a bit of "crackplot" chocolate, she reads the label, smiles, and continues into the kitchen. She brews herself a cup of tea with plenty of honey, her smile growing. By the time she passes through the doorway and goes outside, she is grinning, absolutely delighted by this idea.

On his search for Licorice victims, Hagbard also passes through the doorway, with that moment's reading hesitation. "hello!" he shouts to Gabrielle, grinning madly and waving a very hairy arm.

Hagbard notices the tea first, and grins; then the margarine catches his eye, and he laughs. He begins hunting around the mansion looking for more signs, laughing at most of them--especially the ice cream, though he's not in the mood for ice cream.

The licorice stops him dead, though. Now there's something he needs. He takes a piece and, grinning, begins looking for an Arthurian Knight, Vampire, or Warlord Prince. A good licorice slap ought to teach them to brood, he thinks as he takes a bite.
