The coding machine at Potioncat's desk began to rattle and shake.
There was a high pitched whine and suddenly great globs of grey goo
splattered around the office. Some were drenched but a few managed to
avoid any at all. It was giving off a distinct odor of stale seafood.
"CRAB CUSTARD!" Miss Havisham announced.
Potioncat nodded, keeping up her pace, much to Miss Havisham's
surprise. Some of the staff were looking a bit green, but others
seemed to actually like the mounds of custard.
"OK! That's it! I'm done for the day!"
Miss Havisham quickly looked at her automatic counter, "Your batch
isn't finished."
"It is for today! Nine, count them, nine Elkins T-Bay posts. All of
them about the Crouch family. And it's not pretty. Half way through
them, I thought, OK, this would make a very interesting book. By the
time I was done, it was a book!" She looked around the room. A few
coders were nodding.
"They know what I mean, I think this thread goes on for a while.
Torture, painful deaths, ghosts, angst..." Potioncat sees that some
of the staff have eager looks on their faces and she thinks she heard
the upstairs door creak. "It's post 47927, here's a link:

Enjoy! Oh, by the end I was skimming the content, feel free to re-
code anything."
Miss Havisham shook her head, better to let Potioncat have a mental
health break, "Too much CRAB CUSTARD for you, then?"
Potioncat shook her head, "I did my best. I stuck it out. I even sent
a note to Alla to tell her about the string of Elkins' posts. She
does such a good job of starting up new discussions of it. But then,
when I was finally out of the T-BAY...someone compared Severus Snape
to...to...to Daffy Duck!"
And with that, Potioncat was gone.
