Guns for Eyes

**Guns For Eyes (formerly "Slash Don't Stab")** was a fanzine produced by Sarah Grote and Esther de Groot, with music reviews by Shelley Winters (writing as "Dr Lady Sounds"). It was produced on an old-fashioned typewriter instead of with computers and desktop publishing software for a classic style of authenticity. After Sarah and Esther went to university, Sarah gave the typewriter to her little sister Charlotte Grote, who later used it to do a school project fanzine-style.[1]

The fanzine had a cover price of 50p, and covered Griswald's Grammar School matters such as the fight between Carrot Scruggs and Gary Parsons.

It is unknown how many issues were produced, but one was shown in the strip in 2008:

Zetsuborg

**Zetsuborg** (ゼツボーグ *Zetsubōgu*?) are the main monsters in Go! Princess Pretty Cure. They are created when the Three Musketeers trap people into the Gate of Desperation, which takes away the victims dream. When they are defeated by the first three Cures or by group attacks, they say "dreaming", if defeated by Cure Scarlet, they say "burning".

## Appearance

They are bipedal and have a giant black lock with a red light glowing from the keyhole in front of it. Their actual bodies take on an appearance related to the victim's dream.

In episode 13, they have red locks and a light purple eye were introduced. These are created after Twilight uses her Dress Up Key to unlock the lock the Three Musketeers has before they summon the Zetsuborg.

When Lock powers himself up, he gains a new lock with red horns on it. Those have a glowing yellow eye and red horns as well.

When Stop and Freeze summon theirs, they have two locks that attach to each other, each with a glowing green eye. Shut can summon these as well with his upgraded lock.

Metsuborg, summon by Dyspear using a lock based on her headdress, they have a single red eye and can be purified once their body is destroyed. She usually summons them in attempts to stop the Cures from restoring the rainbows of the four palaces.

## Trivia

* Their name is a hybrid between Zetsubō (Despair) and Cyborg.
* When they are defeated, their light fades away in a way in which it looks like they are closing their eye and they say "Dreaming...".
* Like the Jikochuu and the Saiark, they are created without fusing objects.
* They are voiced by Takayuki Nakatsukasa.
* Each of the commanders use their names when they trap people's dreams. Close says "Close Your Dream!", Shut says "Shut Your Dream!", Lock says "Lock Your Dream!", but Stop and Freeze says "Stop, Freeze Your Dream!".
* As shown in episode 17, two of them were created when one person's dream get trapped.
* In episode 26, Shut target the cicada, making it the first animal to become one.
* In episode 27, three of them are created. Followed by episode 33.
* Yui is the only victim who fought back against the Zetsuborg from the inside, immobilizing it and allowing the Cures to defeat it.
* When Dyspear summon hers, she using a special lock with horns that look similar to those on her headdress. They have a single red eye and can be purified once their body is destroyed. She usually summons them in attempts to stop the Cures from restoring the rainbows of the four palaces.
* Like the Desertrians and the Jikochuu, the person they took over gets paralyzed or goes into an unconsciousness state when healed.
Bank of Burgers

A burger-based currency would possibly be more stable than some of the things actually underpinning the global financial system. However, the **Bank of Burgers** doesn't actually provide one, seeing as it is not an actual bank, just a trendy Tackleford restaurant that is part of the artisanal hamburger craze that has gripped that city. Amy's long-time assistant Melanie quit to work there as a waitress. In an alternate timeline seen in "The Case of the Forked Road", Amy worked there too after giving up on running her own store. Back in the main timeline, though, Amy stuck to storekeeping and hired Shauna as a part-time assistant after Melanie's departure.

In the alternate timeline, Shauna and Mildred ate there in order to give Melanie a flyer for an appearance by Ryan's band Chowder, in the hopes that she'd bring Amy and that this would lead to Amy and Ryan getting together romantically (they were separate in this alternate world, unlike the main reality where they are married). As Mildred is a vegan, she ordered a meatless burger (the Dimbleby), while Shauna ordered an Eddie Mair. (The burgers appear to be named after British broadcast journalists.) Shauna ate there again later when she was in a state of frustration after the other girls temporarily gave up on working with her to solve the time-travel-induced problems with the timeline.

More recently, and once again in the "normal" timeline of reality, this was the meeting place arranged by Lottie and Mildred for Shauna to meet up with her estranged father, something Shauna was not consulted about in advance. There, Shauna learned her "origin story", though she seemed more interested in the burger (which she had some difficulty eating). Around the same time, it was the place Desmond Fishman suggested to Claire Little for an eating place, but she took him to Kale & Hearty instead.

In the real world, Burger King Russia is introducing a cryptocurrency, "Whoppercoin", so perhaps life is imitating art.
SpaceUK

**SpaceUK** is a space-related enterprise located in Nefyn, Wales which is a division of Zambian Computing. It is located at a former holiday camp site, and has a geodescic dome. The former owner of the site (Gethin Pugh) got wealthy by selling it for this use, and now spends much of his time drunk at the pub of the local hotel. Other locals are skeptical of the benefits of this enterprise to the local economy. A few (notably Emlyn and David, the latter of whom runs a store in town named Lipton's) have wild conspiracy theories about what is really going on at that place, which turn out to have a great deal of truth to them when it's revealed that its owner is consorting with extraterrestrials (until the alien is killed).

A youth space camp is run there by Zambian founder Ben Bishop with staff Hilken Strom and Roland George. Admission was selective, based on an essay contest, and the current attendees are Shauna Wickle, Charlotte Grote, Tuan Hoang, Jordan P., and Alex S.

**Susan Ptolemy** is a character from *Giant Days*, living in the same dorm building and close friends with Esther de Groot and Daisy Wooton.

She considers herself the most pragmatic and realistic of the three girls, helping to keep them grounded in reality and curbing their quirky excesses. She doesn't regard her own smoking habit as being in any way inconsistent with being practical and sensible; she can quit any time she wants to, but just doesn't want to right now. She's known for emerging from her dorm room to complain about not being able to sleep. She apparently solved mysteries for the local authorities in Northamptonshire before going away to university.

She has a troubled past with Graham McGraw, who was a childhood friend of hers who turned her down when she wanted him as her boyfriend; he later transferred into her university a few weeks after she started there, and she reacted by putting his picture on the cover of a feminist zine she published pseudonymously, which "went viral" with multi-generational copies being passed around much more widely than she expected. She eventually got together with him, however, only for them to break up again some time later.

At one point she joined the Indie Society, an organization into independent music, and won the presidency over the previous acting president Thom, and also won his car (a 1990 Fiat Panda) from him in arm-wrestling, but since she can't drive, she gave it to Erin Winters, who named it Phyllis.

**Shelby Winner** is, in a way, Shelley Winters' "evil twin". She is an American freelance author of magazine articles, based in Los Angeles but often traveling to New York and other locations in the course of her work. She was known for a lack of ethics or social conscience, as seen, for instance, in her article about purchasing a shoe made entirely out of blood diamonds.

When *Conde Nast Traveller* was seeking to do a travelogue article about Christmas Island, the editors picked her as the author. However, a staff member mistakenly found Shelley instead in the *Haque* guide to writers, and assigned her the article and fat expense account with company debit card. Despite suspecting that this was a mistake (her previous writing was strictly for Tackleford-based publications), she ran with it and took a leave of absence from her Tackleford Cormorant reporting job (which ended up being a permanent leave since that publication didn't want her back when she finally returned) and formed a team for the island excursion, running up bills at the magazine's expense until they finally cut off the card.

Upon realizing their mistake, the magazine sent Shelby after her, wanting her to kill off Shelley and then do the article as originally planned. However, the two writers became friends instead, and after exploring the island and finding Santa Claus, they took an extended vacation there together, followed by a trip to New York. Reportedly, there was a planned plotline at that point where they got involved with the 2008 US election, but this was cut short with Shelley returning to Tackleford and Shelby not seen since.
Giant Days

Giant Days is an ongoing, Eisner award winning comic book series published by Boom! Studios, covering the college careers of Esther de Groot, Susan Ptolemy, and Daisy Wooton, originally planned as a six-issue miniseries.

Prior to the Boom! Studios series, John Allison self-published three issues in a smaller format which take place immediately prior to the start of the current series.

The comics have been illustrated by many illustrators, such as Lissa Tremain and Max Sarin, as well as Allison himself illustrating a few special edition comic curatings.

There are 54 issues in the series so far, plus 3 webcomics and 4 special edition Issues. The Series focuses on the events in the life of Esther deGroot and her two unlikely friends, Susan Ptolemy and Daisy Wooton, at the University of Sheffield.

Esther is a mysterious goth with a love for partying, boxing and hooking up with unsuitable men. She has a reputation for being irresponsible and very beautiful. She is studying English Literature. Many times, she finds it very difficult to get a job. She has had jobs at pet shops, comic stores, and bakeries.

Daisy is shy and homeschooled by her granny until university. She is very responsible and gets great grades in all of her subjects. She is bisexual and is obsessed with a singer called Enya. She is revealed to be studying nothing other than Archaeology, where she has many Interesting adventures.

Susan is a temperamental and crude smoker who has an on-off relationship with a handyman named Graham, whose name is McGraw. She is a medical student. She gets decent grades, and she also has a part-time "job" as a private investigator and detective, for which she does not get paid.

Carrot Scruggs

**Carrot Scruggs** is the son of Tackleford Cormorant's chief editor Paula Scruggs, and a student of Griswald's Grammar School, where he is the classmate of Eustace Boyce, Esther de Groot, Sarah Grote and Paul Milford. He is a minor recurring character in Scary Go Round.

Concerning his physical appearance, he is sticking out of the crowd due to having a pyramid-shaped hair cut similar to that of his mother's, just with the difference that he has side burns, and that he is a ginger and she a brunette.

Carrot's fight against the school bully Gary Parsons was the subject matter of the first issue of Esther's and Sarah's fanzine *Guns for Eyes*.[2]

### Romance

Even though his classmates got the impression that he was a late-bloomer when it comes to puberty [3], he soon started to notice the attractive women around him, such as Shelley Winters.[4] Later that year, he developed a crush on someone more his own age, namely Sarah Grote.[5] Unfortunately, this was the time when Sarah in turn started her romantic relationship with Ryan Beckwith, which led to a jealous (and completely drunken) Carrot punching Ryan in the face.[6] (And an angry Amy Chilton kicking Carrot's ass.[7])

### Career

Though Carrot screwed up his final exams in the last year of school [8], he had the luck to get hired on the spot by Hugo Rodriguez. (He had a vacant position to fill due to Shelley quitting just a minute before.)[9] Carrot's job performance in Hugo's sandwich shop was so good that Hugo even resorted to telling crass lies in order to keep him: A representative of the Potterton Writing Academy entered the shop and asked for Carrot's whereabouts, because he had a scholarship offer for him - and Hugo pretended that Carrot was *dead*.[10] Hugo felt remorse soon after though, so he decided to fulfill Carrot's dream of driving around in a delivery van.[11] However, Carrot didn't have a driving license yet, and after the inevitable accident happened [12], Carrot felt compelled to follow Hugo's rather questionable advise: "Burn the van, burn your clothes, leave town."[13] Luckily, this situation didn't seem to have been permanent: During her university years, Esther met Carrot again during a party at Milford's (thus back in town), where Carrot told her that he now had a literary agent, which may imply that he did get the Potterton or a similar scholarship after all.

[5]Hatsune Miku as she appears on Rohto Pharmaceutical site

“Mitchie M here. It's been 6 months since my last song! This is the full version of the popular AR Live (Hatsune Miku x Digieye Collab). I hope you enjoy this video to the full as many powerful creators have made it. Happy 7th Anniversary to Miku-san!”
—Author's comment"**With An Unblurred Eye**" is an original song by Mitchie M. It was uploaded to Nico Nico and YouTube on August 29, 2014, and to Soundcloud on October 24, 2015. This song made for Miku's 7th anniversary.

This song is now used for the AR campaign for Rohto Pharmaceutical's new eye drops "Digi Eye".[1][2][3] Like much of Mitchie's song titles this one has a double meaning, "ai" (love) and "eye" both being correct translations.

An app was released in August 2014 that would play a partial version of the song and show a 3D Miku dancing on any surface.[4][5]

This song has entered the *Hall of Fame*. It is featured in the album *39D*.

Securico

**Securico** is a company that manages privatised prisons, including Wendlefield, in Tackleford, at which Darren Wickle was a "guest" for six years. It is apparently a very lucrative business, because the company is now in the process of constructing a new, large headquarters building on Pike Street in Tackleford, on the former site of an Odeon cinema.
Ben Bishop

**Ben Bishop** is the founder of Zambian Computing and is once again in charge of that company after leaving for a time. He is also the CEO of SpaceUK, which runs a space camp for select groups of teenagers. He was described by John Allison in a Facebook posting as "a three way DNA mash between S. Jobs, Kevin McCloud and BRANSON".

He is apparently also germaphobic, and has no clue about the behavior of teenagers.

Several people, like some of the inhabitants of Nefyn in Wales [1], and even Charlotte Grote [2], suspected him to be secretly conspiring with aliens, preparing the conquest of Earth. Though Ben vehemently denied this [3], this accusations turned out to be probably true, when he showed the Zambian board an alien lifeform that was very similar to one appearing in a "classic TV show episode".[4] Any invasion plans that Ben and the alien might have had got quickly thwarted though, due to Jordan P. accidentally killing the alien by spilling a taurine containing energy drink over it. (Ben reacted to this by crying black tears, which together with the TV episode referenced, and the similar cries of agony from him and the alien, seems to imply that his body was actually possessed and controlled by another specimen of the alien.)[5]
Ella Wickle

**Ella Tamsin Wickle**, perhaps now Ella Finster since her wedding, is the mother of Shauna Wickle, Darren Wickle, and Humphrey FInster. These three children all have different fathers. She eventually married Dan Finster, Humphrey's father, after living together for years.

Ella was at one point on the cleaning staff of a building where Shauna's father, Glenn Hughes, worked as a programmer, and had a brief relationship with him.

Ella and her family have lived in fairly rough neighborhoods, but are currently in a slightly nicer area than they were earlier, and managed to send Shauna to Griswald's Grammar School, a somewhat fancier school (uniforms and all) than the family was previously accustomed to.

At the time when Desmond Fishman was living with her family (after running away from the house where he had been living with Shelley, Amy, and Ryan), Ella attempted to exploit the situation by getting into gossip magazines and trashy TV shows with stories about how Desmond was her son, bullied and persecuted for his odd appearance.

Time travel

The ability to travel through time is part of the "weird science" of the Tackleford universe, and has happened (both intentionally and accidentally) on several occasions.

Tim Jones invented a teapot time machine, which was stolen by Amy and Shelley and used by that pair to travel into the 1800s and have a number of adventures including introducing Beatles songs to 19th-century Britain, but this was cut short by Tim using another similar time machine (he was revealed to have a whole cabinet full of them) to go back to just before they stole the machine and stop them, thus causing their whole adventure never to have happened.

A time warp sent waves of ninjas from medieval Japan into Fallon Young's house, but their role was never more than that of a minor nuisance, though it did prompt Shelley to move out of Tackleford to a more peaceful place in the country.

Another time warp was opened by an explosion in Griswald's Grammar School in July 1960, leading to a portal from the day it opened into the 2010s, where the day of its opening was reachable as an infinitely-looped day, in which most attempts to change history failed, but occasionally something somebody did while in the past did have repercussions as seen in "The Case of the Forked Road".

A one-off strip, probably not part of the regular Tackleford continuity, featured the band Summer Camp going back in time with a nuclear powered time travel device to gain musical ideas from 1990; it's not like any songs from that lost era can be found in places like YouTube, Spotify, or iTunes.

The "Destroy History" strip chronicles Shelley's adventures in the Ministry of History, a governmental body devoted to repairing the world's timeline. The existence of this agency may be related to the fact that the government has attempted to regulate time travel via the 2011 TARDIS Act, which Tim was arrested for violating when the authorities became aware of his possession of the Teapot That Reverses Time.

Chilton v. Spelling

**Chilton v. Spelling** was a lawsuit tried in the court at Tackleford in 1999. Amy Chilton sued television producer Aaron Spelling for the "emotional havoc" caused by the influence of his characters on her. She also expressed a desire to sue the producer of Ally McBeal for "raising her girlish hopes" in such matters as pursuinig cases of this sort, but proceeded only against Spelling.

Tackleford practices the "right to a speedy trial" more than most jurisdictions, and the case was tried shortly after being brought instead of being delayed for months or years by complicated, interminable formalities as legal cases elsewhere tend to be. Amy's side's strategies, such as bringing a monkey into the courtroom to testify, were not particularly impressive to the court, but the judge nevertheless ruled in Amy's favour due to her father (Len Pickering) being a fellow Brickmason lodge member, and awarded her 1 million pounds.

Spelling would seem to have had plenty of grounds to appeal this ruling, but apparently declined to do so and paid up shortly; however, Amy soon spent this money on hiring Jerry Seinfeld to entertain at her Halloween party, and was back to being broke as she usually was in those days.
Mod-Rocker Wars

The **Mod-Rocker Wars** were a curious cultural phenomenon in Britain in the 1960s, where two slightly different youth subcultures with marginally divergent preferences in such things as art and music ended up, somehow, as bitter enemies who got into physical clashes. This appears to be an instance of the human tendency to make enemies of people who differ in an exceedingly minor way, such as the troubles between Catholics and Protestants, who, as slight variations on Christianity, are more positioned to strongly oppose one another than either is for a totally different religion such as Zoroastrianism.

In the so-called "real world", this conflict (Mods/Rockers, not Protestants/Catholics) was over and done with by the end of the '60s, but in the Tackleford universe it had an even more inexplicable resurgence in the 2010s, as recounted in The Case of the Modern Men.

In Tackleford, a "mod" subculture apparently managed to continue up to the present day, with a whole rulebook full of traditional practices and methods of winning leadership of the group through challenges. This group of mods most likely stayed beneath the radar of popular culture by being extremely small and unpopular for most of the intervening decades, until there was a sudden resurgence of popularity. Jack Finch claimed credit for this, but even if this is true, he didn't end up in the forefront of the movement he spearheaded, as it was rapidly taken over by more popular kids. A sizeable group gathered regularly beneath a bridge to show off their motor scooters.

Meanwhile, a "rocker" subculture also had an upsurge of popularity in Tackleford, with various "garage bands" showing off new musical genres such as "Power Violence". Shauna Wickle joined one such band, Brutalism UK, in the mistaken impression that it was a group celebrating mid-20th-century architecture.

With the two cultures so established, they soon began clashing, with violent battles doing damage to downtown Tackleford and leading the local police to impose a curfew. This didn't stop the battles from continuing, until a masked leader Yumi (who later revealed herself to be Shauna) brought about a truce ending the war.

Mrs. Terry

**Mrs. Terry** is Mad Terry's mother. Mother and son live together in Tackleford, and apparently their house is in a pocket universe of some sort in which forgotten characters live... but it's actually just the forgotten space between the supermarket, railway station and football stadium. Mrs. Terry claimed at one point that the exit to the normal world is in her pantry, but it's really a tunnel in the yard. Mrs. Terry chose to live there in order for this place to serve as kind of sanctuary for his son, who is sort of a social outcast.

Inhabitants of Mrs. Terry's street include:

* Number 1: Mrs. Terry and her son themselves
* Number 2: Hugo Rodriguez (Runs the corner bar at number 3.)
* Number 4: Tessa Davies
* Number 5: Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte (Who is presumed dead in the outside world.)
* Number 6: Bill Tweedy
* Number 7(?): Natalie Durand (who is also presumed dead in the outside world, and has been seen doing a variety of things in the afterlife, most notably having the job of a Grim Reaper. Interestingly, Natalie is the only one who refuses to play along with what Mrs. Terry wants, and lives in an unusually fancy, albeit rather eerie house.)
* Number 8: Erin Winters and Eustace Boyce
* Number 9(?): Fallon Young

Erin and Eustace ended up at Mrs. Terry's place upon returning from Hell to the normal world (and after a short stay with Santa Claus at the North Pole), and a short time later managed to escape. Back in the normal part of Tackleford, they met an aged Hugo in his old sandwich shop again, accompanied by Fallon as his employee.[2] It remains thus a mystery if Hugo and Fallon somehow escaped too, or if the ones at Mrs. Terry's (and thus all the other captives there too) were in fact some kind of alternate versions of themselves.

Nemulon-9

**Nemulon-9** is the cybernetic assistant sent with Shelley Winters by the Ministry of History when she goes on missions to fix the timeline via time travel. Barbara (Babs) remarks that "no one's exploded using one of those yet" on seeing which model Shelley had just been issued, implying that predecessor devices Nemulon-8 and earlier had problems along those lines.

In its compact form, Nemulon resembles a Viking helmet, but it expands out into a roughly human-sized robot (which Shelley terms a "cybernetic demonoid... steam-punk nightmare", but later comes to appreciate after Nemulon provides assistance to her mission). It is also able to change to a variety of other shapes as well, as needed for camouflage or utility. It provides useful advice and information, though it tends to show a somewhat caustic wit.

Nemulon is also apparently capable of writing music reviews, as it provided some for the 2015 end-of-year review series.
Battle of the Bands

The **Battle of the Bands** was a musical competition held at Griswald's Grammar School, originally suggested by the teacher Mrs. Liversey, and authorized by headmaster Bob Crowley, who, in contrast to his predecessor Mr. Daimler (or Mr. Cole, back in 1973, when Mr. Pevenser already had the same idea), was quite delighted by the idea.[2] The judges where Mrs. Liversey, Mr. Pevenser and Shelley Winters, who was also seen interviewing the former two, probably for an article in the Tackleford Cormorant.

The entries where:

* The Clean Street Crew, who were rapping about the evils of drug abuse. One band member, calling himself MC Horse, was wearing a horse mask, years before this became an internet meme.
* One band we don't learn the name of. Their performance was very tight, though.[3]
* Edwin, who was singing about his deceased pet lizard. In the end, he became the official winner of the Battle of the Bands, even though he wasn't even a band. But Shelley was of the opinion that his song "spoke of a sad soul", so she wanted to cheer him up.[4]
* Eustace Boyce and Paul Milford. Milford overcame the problem of lacking any musical expertise whatsoever [5] by playing prerecorded tunes on a keyboard in 80's synth pop style.[6]
* Coven of Sepsis, consisting of Sarah Grote, Big Lindsay and Roxy Posthletwaite (the last one being a replacement for Esther de Groot [7]). They were performing the song *Viral Puncture of the Superior Vena Cava*, a "special song" that was taught to Roxy by The Child and his father.[8] It had the effect of hypnotizing all male listeners [9], who later then had quite different opinions on what the actual lyrics of this song were. (Though they always were about declaring romantic or sexual feelings towards the respective listener.)[10] In any case, the performance was so good that "a dangerous sum of money and a contract" was offered by Hugo Rodriguez. (To Roxy, that is. Concerning Sarah and Lindsay, Hugo was told to "give the two goths a wide berth".[11])
Parfait Étoile

**Parfait Étoile** (パルフェエトワール *Parufe Ettoire*?) is Cure Parfait's first sub attack that she performs in episode 24 to stop Glaive's monster. To perform the attack, she must have her Rainbow Ribbon.

## Description

She uses her Rainbow Ribbon to create 3 hoops, which then entrap the enemy and explode.

## Incantation

### Romaji

**Cure Parfait:** *Kirakirakirarin☆Parufe Ettoire!*

### English

**Cure Parfait:** Kirakirakirarin☆Parfait Étoile!

## Trivia

* In contrast to all the other sub attacks which start with the phrase "Kirakirakiraru", Parfait starts this attack with "Kirakirakirarin", a reference to her name.
Darren Wickle

**Darren Wickle** (called **Daz** by his friends) is Shauna's older brother (apparently half-brother according to this). First appearing in the Scary Go Round sequence in which Desmond Fishman runs away and ends up staying with Shauna's family, he was not seen again for many years, and was only briefly mentioned in Bad Machinery as somebody who had "gone bad", until he turned up in 2015. It turned out he had been in prison (Wendlefield, managed by Securico) for six years, because of Shauna telling the police about him being in possession of various types of drugs. He is apparently a fan of the Tackleford City Football Club, from the posters in his bedroom (which his mum maintained as he left it for the years he was away).

After getting out of prison, he finds he is in debt to a loan shark beyond his ability to pay, so he turns to crime again, robbing Amy's antique store, Bric-A-Brac, with his friend, Romesh Sengupta, who turns out to have divvy powers (as Amy formerly did) and ends up being the only one of the two who manages to steal something worth any decent amount. Shauna covers for them by not ratting on them to the police or their parents, but gets Romesh to put his talents to good instead of evil by working for the store on a commission basis.
Phyllis

**Phyllis** is a 1990 Fiat Panda, and a "character" appearing in Giant Days and Bad Machinery.

At the beginning of its (in-universe chronological) first appearance in the third original Giant Days comic, the car was in the possession of Thom, the acting president of the University of Sheffield's Indie Society, whose parents gave it to him for his 18th birthday. His name for this car was "Vetiver", and he claimed that the original owner was David Gedge of The Wedding Present. Not accepting Susan Ptolemy winning the election for President of Indie Society, Thom challenged her for the presidency as well as his beloved car. Susan promptly won the challenge (an arm-wrestling match), then passed on the presidency to Oliver Walton and the car (due to the lack of a driving license) to Erin Winters, who at this time was a fellow student at her university. Esther de Groot got the idea to rename Vetiver as "Phyllis", upon reading the number plate: "PHII LY5".

In Bad Machinery, Erin was still the owner of Phyllis, after moving back to Tackleford and becoming a reporter for the Tackleford Cormorant. Being old, rusty and loud, and also already having suffered a bit of damage back at the university, Phyllis caught much derision from Charlotte Grote and Shauna Wickle.[2] There was also a red flashing dashboard light, but Erin managed to convince the girls that this was actually a signal for an emergency at the office.[3]

Phyllis "died" during *The Case of The Unwelcome Visitor*, after Lottie got a plan that involved loading a lot of bricks into Phyllis' trunk.[4] This was apparently too much for the poor old car. Unsurprisingly, this significantly slowed down Phyllis.[5] Eventually, the car caught fire[6] and burned down completely.[7]

Long after the demise of Phyllis, Erin kept being loyal to the Fiat brand.[8]
Dixon Lovelace

**Dixon Lovelace** is an antiques dealer from Tackleford.

He first appeared in **Scary Go Round**, where Amy Chilton, who had just opened the Bric-A-Brac, first met him at a flea market, while both were looking for stuff to buy and resell.[2] Though they at first viewed each other as competition, the more experienced Lovelace soon began to slip into the role of Amy's mentor. (Shauna Wickle would later speculate that there was "maybe more" going on between them. But while there was indeed some sexual attraction, Lovelace actually declined to have sexual intercourse with Amy.) This relationship ended though when Lovelace showed his rather unscrupulous side: After his flunky Dinkle set Amy's shop on fire, he entered it under the pretense of saving Melanie Soap from the flames, but actually was just there to steal the Bunnikins Breakfast Set [3], valuable tableware Amy had acquired under his guidance at an auction.[4] (If it hadn't been for Ryan Beckwith *actually* saving her [5], Melanie would probably have died due to Lovelace's neglect to help!) After that, he left Tackleford for France, in order to sell the Bunnikins to this country's then president Nicholas Sarkozy.[6]

When Amy met him again nearly ten years later, Lovelace now had bookshop in Wendlefield, because Tackleford had become too fancy for his taste.[7] And even though he acted like a gentleman and told Amy everything that he knew about Tommy Binks [8], he still didn't abandon his more shady methods, as evidenced by the fact that he planned to steal Tommy Binks' cursed pearl, once Amy would have acquired it.[9]

### Trivia

He established *Lovelace Antiques*, his business in Tackleford, in 1988.

During his Tackleford years, he pattered himself after a certain Love**joy**, a character from an old British TV series.
Werther's Original

**Werther's Original** is a German brand of caramel flavored candy, which is also available in Britain, and thus in Tackleford.

Gibbous Moon was once offering Werther's Original bonbons to Ryan Beckwith, which she rather gruesomely kept stored in the skull of Blinky the Narwhal, who was during his lifetime the archenemy of Ernest Cromerty.[1]

During a visit to Oxford, Shelley Winters also had some Werther's Original bonbons brought with her. She offered one to Amy Beckwith, in order to distract her from ogling the Oxford academics.[2]

Werther's Original is a brand that actually exists in real life. You can read more about it here.
Mosstyn Corkindale

**Corky**, whose actual name is Mosstyn Corkindale (and is addressed as "Mossy" by his mother), is one of the "gaming nerds" at Griswald's Grammar School along with Tuan Hoang and Blossom Cooper. Shauna Wickle went to this group for help when her friends (and much of the rest of the school) were hypnotized by Lem (who turned out to be an extraterrestrial onion creature). These "nerds" (along with Shauna) were immune to this hypnotism because their glasses blocked it. Shauna agreed to date Corky as a condition for assistance from the group (which was naturally suspicious of Shauna, who didn't usually hang out with that group despite an interest in some of the same geeky things, and feared she would retreat to her own friends after they were no longer hypnotized, which in fact took place). While the dates didn't actually go too badly (Shauna hit it off with Corky's mother particularly well because of common interests and opinions in such matters as architecture, where the merits of Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehry came up), no long-term romantic connection followed; Blossom in particular was opposed to any continued fraternization between Shauna and any of her group, and she had a great influence on all of them.

Corky's first appearance was when he showed up for sport at the school after getting a new family doctor who didn't give him a "rolling sick note" as the previous one did.

Corky is in a very wealthy family, living in a large mansion and having formal dinners in which one has to figure out which of the many pieces of flatware needs to be used at any given time. Corky's father, however, suggests to Shauna to "just use the ones you like the look of best." Corky's sister is named Elise, and she has friends named Cassandra and Fleur.
Santa Claus

**Santa Claus** is a member of the Wee Folk, who is living in a big mansion on top of Christmas Mountain [2], on Christmas Island in the South Pacific. His real name is Rodney, and he has two sons (or "sahns" in his thick Cockney accent), Joe and Terry, who are inexplicably looking like sentient Christmas trees.[3]

He got into the Christmas business in the year 1983, in Romfort in Essex. It seems that he started out as normal Christmas elf, and later inherited the lead position from someone who was looking more like the usually depicted human version of Santa Claus.[4]

This version of Santa also assisted Erin Winters and Eustace Boyce in returning to Tackleford from Svalbard after being dropped there upon being expelled from Hell. Initially they showed up on the "naughty" list due to their former status in the ruling circles of Hell, but upon checking it twice Santa did find them to have a plurality of good and be suitable for assistance in returning home.

## Santas other than Rodney

Lacking Rodney's long nose and ears, maybe it was aforementioned "previous incumbent" who was showing up in Amy Chilton's bedroom on Christmas Eve [5], a few years prior to Shelley Winters' and Shelby Winner's visit to Christmas Island in the mid-2000s - or it was a third, as of yet unaccounted for Santa Claus.

Going further back in time, Rodney's predecessor definitely was still active during the late 90.[6] (Interestingly, his naughty-or-nice list was still written on paper, in contrast to the fully digitalized version in Rodney's time.[7])

Totally mystifying, on the other hand, is the appearance of a human Santa Claus in what cannot be earlier than 2010 [8], as evidenced by Krampus' mention of Pinterest, and the (modern style) tablet computer in his possession. Perhaps though, the anachronisms have to be ignored, and this is indeed the "old" Santa at a point in time just before his retirement?

In any case, it was Rodney who was appearing as Santa Claus in the Christmas merchandise sold in the 2010s in Tackleford.[9]

## Trivia

Interestingly, even though Santa was living on Christmas Island, it still seemed to be common to send mail to Santa to the North Pole (or rather "N. Poel", in the case of Desmond Fishman).[10] And in the dream Desmond had at Christmas Eve, Santa (or at least Krampus) did indeed receive his letter.[11] If this was not "just" a dream, this may either mean that Santa and Krampus were maintaining a second base of operations at the North Pole, or that the letters simply got redirected. It might just be that, like many businesses, he maintains mail drops in several locations in order to have mailing addresses in those regions. Is there a UPS Store on the North Pole?

Yes Virginia, in the real word, there is... well, there is at least a Wikipedia article about Santa Claus.
