Why are we assuming that Sharkface and his coat are all all two different things?

Heh. Trying to imagine what Harry would look like with Sharkface's coat, the Redcap's hat, and Nic's noose.

Probably enough to set any cover artist to twitching.

Alas, the Redcap's hat was wrecked by nails going through it.

And twitching in laughter or the thought that "this is going to be a pain to draw"?

With apologies for derailing the thread . . .

In the quote Elegast posted from Fool Moon - Do we know whose blood that was that Justin was trying to force down Harry's throat?

Not really.  I don't think we are entirely certain that that particular memory of Harry's represented what actually happened that well.  It had a nightmarish quality when I read it.  Harry could be remembering exaggerations.

Went back and checked:  Ch.30 of GS gives us a different perspective, and none of the more colorful descriptions from Elegast's excerpt are mentioned.

Wait...the GS version of the scene was less detailed and horrible? I need to reread that.

Wasn't the scene in Ghost Story when Harry ran away and the scene in Fool Moon something that happened when he came back to confront Justin?

That is how I remember it, but I don't have my DF books at hand.

  Yeah, but that doesn't work for royalty, they have blue blood... Egads!  What if Spock should spill his blood?  Well, not quite so bad, deconstructed Christmas card.. :-\

I have really odd color carpets, now that I think of it.

Ah that's a possibility that I hadn't considered.  You are probably right.

As an aside, 1000 posts ;D

Hmm, don't know why that is.  From my screen, this particular post is 1001.  Either way I'm happy to join the halls of the McPostingtons ;D

I was trying to make a joke, as any attempt to contradict this statement would have increased your total to 1001.

Not really funny I admit.
