Thoughts from Writerland
Last year, I thought finding Christmas presents for the Holmes brothers was hard, but it turns out finding Christmas presents for superheros is about as, or possibly even more difficult.
And I still may need to find presents for the Holmes brothers this year, too.

Ha! I can so hear the pause before the 'I think.'
I've always wondered what non-daemon animals do when they meet a daemon who looks like them. Do they know it's a daemon or do they try to chat and the daemon is all 'I"m sorry, I don't speak panda'.
I assumed that animals can sense that a daemon is not one of their own. Probably the scent is completely different and something about their look. The novel mentions that other humans can tell the clear difference between animals and daemons so I imagine actual animals have a similar awareness. Given that, some animals approach humans all the time in that curious 'oh, hello! who are you? do you have food?' way so maybe they do something similar with daemons but fully knowing they are not animals.
Actual Raccoon: Hello, familiar shaped creature! Do you have food? What's that in your hand? Can I look at it? Is this food? Is there water where I can wash this?
Dejeni: Howard! You forgot to lock the garage again!

Hahaha! I'm kinda of picturing Dejeni trying to use sign language to encourage the raccoon to go.
Dejeni: *points* YOU. *sweeping gesture* GO. *shakes head.* NO FOOD HERE. *makes a yucky face* BAD TO EAT.
Howard: Do you think the raccoon come to the garage because you're here or you're a raccoon because we spend so much time in the garage?
Dejeni: This is no time to be philosophical, it has my favourite wrench!
Soooo, everyone is playing Scrabble in my Christmas party story and I don't know how that happened. Bruce just really wanted to play Scrabble. So, now I'm having to postpone Tony and Steve's heart-to-heart for Scrabble, which was not what i expected when I woke up this morning.

Actual Raccoon: I notice you speak like the two legged ones. Is this how you are able to get food? Is this food?
Dejeni: I. *points to herself* DON'T SPEAK *makes speaking gestures* RACCOON *points to raccoon and shakes head*
Howard: I don't think he gets it.
Dejeni: Help me! Grab the wrench back!
Howard: *gives raccoon a leftover sandwich*
Actual Raccoon: Food! Food! *drops wrench*
Dejeni: God, real raccoons are stupid. I'm starting to regret my shape.

Hahaha!
This scenario kind of reminds me of this gif (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/321866704592401175/) for some reason. Maybe that's Howard's solution to the problem. Leave out food for the real raccons to keep them away from the tools.
I'd forgotten I also pinned the happiest beavers n the world (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/321866704593013441/). I noticed it as I was scrolling by in search of that gif.

Those beavers are clearly loving the photo op.

I have way too many pictures of animals pinned now. Instead of being one of those people who has a gif for every occasion, I'm going to be a person who just pulls out pictures of animals with or without prompting.
