Jeff O'Rama, Irish, ex-cop, now PI. Cocktail:
- Jeff O'Rama, Irish, ex-cop, now PI. Cocktail: Soft White Russian (Milk of Magnesia, vodka). New case: Murder. Cops botched investigation. A woman, a professor, in a purple top coat
- & a figure like an hourglass, with a sting you never saw coming. Woman are trouble, but an educated Broad? My instinct said no but her looks & the case intrigued me. "Mr. O'Rama,

- I followed my instincts as they guided me towards the mountain. Oblivious to the cold and the storm clouds gathering overhead I climbed until I reached the top. My shaman destiny
- was soon to become reality. This was the tricky bit. The really tricky bit, trickiness cubed: I jumped as high as I could and reached up for heaven. I tried to grab hold of it and
- instead, something grabbed hold of me. I was being pulled and pushed through psychedelicly colorful tunnels. This trip was nothing like
- that family vacation we took to Piccadilly that one summer, but it came to a close second. "Buckaroo Banzai!" I screamed as the 8th Dimension drank me to ribbons.

I like how Peroonicus' fold still has that private eye monologue feel to it.
