another octopus

this is work in progress

And I'm not a one man show this time... I actually have a little elf to help me. We're cooking up something amazing... and we know what it is... or I think we know... I think... you never really know with elves.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha (evil scientist's laughter)... that was the elf, not me!
