*Surveys the meticulously painted runes required for a meso-scale trans-location, sigils that are now useless and beginning to smell due to the wards: newly strengthened by Bercow's return.*
*attempts to cast a cleaning charm*
*after sheltering from the haphazard whirlwind of soap-suds and bleach, decides to try cleaning it up manually*
Machine, I require tea.
...and also some sort of cleaning implement

*rearranges the runes in one corner to form a slightly smaller summoning circle*

Date: 2012-02-20 04:28 pm (UTC)That depends entirely on whether I choose to translocate you or not.
