"What happened to my hairdresser cult?" (Patreon)

I asked Lysander angrily.  "I thought you had supplied them with weapons for self-defense."

"Ah, well, yes, about that," Lysander waffled, suddenly getting itchy and fidgety.  "You see, because of my known association with Ash Marten, who was not in good favor with the O'Daisies firm at the time I approached them with your order..."

"Let me guess," I snapped.  "You never got the guns.  In that case you owe me a refund."

"Oh no, I've got them," Lysander insisted.  "It's just that the order was delayed, and by the time I finally managed to get back here with them I could not find anyone to deliver them to.  Everybody was gone and the salons were all selling shoes.  Total surprise to me.  I will gladly hand the Blunderettes over to you at your request."

"How was I gone long enough for all of this to happen?" I asked indignantly.

"That I can't tell you," Lysander shrugged.  "But OH!  Ash wanted me to give you this.  It's supposed to teach you how better to deal with people."

The monkey reached into his jacket and pulled out a small book.

"How to be Unseelie and Look Good Doing It, by Dr. Owter Cesawonki," I read aloud from the frontispiece.

"Study that'n real hard, Adler," Burnside chuckled.  "Is the stew just about ready?"
