Fool on the Hill - Part 2

This week Sam brings part two of the Matt Ruff novel Fool on the Hill! After a long part one of introducing characters, get ready for an even longer part two! A semblance of a plot starts to take shape as George and his Bohemian friends hang out with the Blue Zebra Hooter Patrol, a group that, as far as Sam can tell, is entirely unimportant to the story. Meanwhile, the sprites conduct a raid on the animal lab to free the guinea pigs among others. However, during this raid they accidentally release giant rats which manage to kill several sprites, lead by an evil rat named Thresh. I'm sure we'll get back to him later. Much later. The dogs, meanwhile, are having convocation, and Luther learns of the five questions that guide their philosophy, one of which asks which is the best breed of dog. Luther is disturbed that maybe this isn't heaven if there's still racism (breedism?) here. Finally, due to a chemical truck accident and the appearance of Calliope in his house, George finally gets laid. This goes on for some time. While he's busy, the Bohemians are invited to become honorary members of the dorkiest frat on campus: Tolkien House, which is exactly what it sounds like, only they live in an actual magic castle complete with bottomless pit and underground forest. One of the presidents of Tolkien house has invited the Bohemians to join so he can meet one of their members he has a crush on, instead of just talking to her like a normal human, a plan that does nothing to dispel their dorkiness. Later, Jinsei is attacked at a school dance by Jack Barron and his goons from the RAT frat, but is saved by Ragnarok riding his motorcycle out of the dance hall, which he apparently brought into the dance hall for a reason neither Sam nor Danielle can fathom. Finally, a bunch of characters have dreams, one of whom is George who fights a dragon while Calliope teaches him to "write without paper". Here's a list of other things that are in this chapter taken completely out of context: A child repellent egg, doggy brothel, really bad relationship decisions, and Danielle's new favorite word Hallowe'en!
