Shades of beige

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Forget food in _Evil Guest_; anyone else notice how many exotic shades  
of off-white through light-brown (or perhaps I should say birch  
through caffe-latte) are mentioned?  What's up with that?  (if this  
has been discussed before, I'm sorry--I've been trying NOT to read  
_EG_ posts until I got a chance to read the book, which I now have)

SPOILER below:

And is there agreement on what sort of beast-woman Cassie *is*?  I  
like "Robin" because of the red plumage, the "the alien food isn't  
*really* worms", and of course the execrable Batman-cub joke.  I   
don't think it's the right guess, though.
