In a twist, our rag-tag group of heroes appears to have enlisted my father-in-law into its ranks. Of course, it would have to be a fairly slow-moving demon to allow you to attack it by building a birdhouse around its head--you'd think he'd have a counter move for that--especially considering the speed with which my wife's stepdad gets around to household projects these days. He's discovered Wii golf, you see.
I should have mentioned the construction theme back in layer 4, when Dan turned the samurai into a post-gamma ray Ben Grimm-like brick thing. Now he's wearing elf shoes. I've also been told that the eye-plucking Demon is called a Xyron. And, unless there's been more eye-plucking than I know, since the fangy monster used to have two eyes, I'm assuming the solo eye and frown belong to the birdhouse, which, not to put too fine a point on it, makes sense given this is a fairly unexpected and unfortunate fate for your average bird-feeding domicile. I suspect any birfeeder with eyes wouldn't have two of them for long anyway. Especially on future moon here.
Oops. Correction. I am being informed that "Xyron" is not the name of the eye-plucking demon, but rather the name of the sticker machine.
The Xyron corporation can ponder becoming a Layer Tennis sponsor while they watch the latest backstage video.
