For @martinus-cornelius, who championed the whole damn thing while I was writing it. Thanks, buddy! 🙂
Summary:
In retrospect, Octavius could not say for sure that the
mess began with Larry and his holiday chocolates, but that certainly
didn’t help.
(Jedediah is a messy eater, Octavius has a
surprising affinity for the ins and outs of clothing, and everyone is an
awkward turtle.)

Takes place some time after Battle of the Smithsonian.
