[The video clicks on to show the brown door of a kitchen cabinet, closed. It's wobbling faintly as it moves, and there is the distinct sound of chattering voices and a spattering of high-pitched singing. The video finally moves to reveal a counter, where half a dozen knives, forks and plates, each with a little face, tiny stick arms and tiny stick legs, appear to be doing a musical number about keeping dishes cleaning. There's some decently choreographed dancing going on too, with twirls and such, until one of the knives slips and falls in the sink and all the cutlery bursts out laughing.]

[The camera turns again to reveal another section of the counter, where a ketchup bottle, also with arms and legs and a little face, is laying propped up in the lap of a mustard bottle. It has a hole in it's label stomach and ketchup is oozing out slowly onto the counter.]

Mus...Mustard! Tell Relish...tell relish...I always loved her bes.........

I will, Ketchup! I WILL!

[The mustard bottle holds the dead ketchup bottle to its chest for several seconds, sobbing little mustard tears, before the ketchup bottle suddenly sits up a tad, looking around expectantly.]

See? How was that? I told you I could be dramatic!

Yeah Yeah. I'll be in my drawer!

[The mustard bottle unceremoniously drops the ketchup bottle onto the counter and stalks off, ignoring the laughter of the other condiment.]

[The camera pans around, revealing several more very strange scenes of animated kitchen objects...a blender and a food processor having an argument about speed settings, a bottle of milk taunting a bowl of cereal...and finally, it turns away from the kitchen entirely to reveal Laura, standing in her living room, looking...pretty much completely bewildered. She has the claws on her left hand out, and one of them is coated in ketchup. Green eyes are a tad wild as they flick back towards her kitchen again, before focusing on the screen.]

Someone explain this.

[He shrugs.]

How often do you get to play with magic dishes? But fine. Ignore them, then, I guess.

[girlverine]

If you think someone should play with them, you can. I don't. And I can't ignore them, they are singing.

[alldeduction]

Then leave! It's pretty clear trying to kill them isn't going to help, and you can't really smash up all your dishes.

[girlverine]

I cannot leave, they may damage something.

[alldeduction]

Like themselves? Have they damaged anything else?

[girlverine]

[Laura isn't certain how to answer that.]

...they recruited the dishwasher. They may recruit other appliances.

[alldeduction]

Well if they aren't hurting each other, they aren't likely to hurt anything they are recruiting, either.

[girlverine]

A singing, dancing refrigerator could do a lot of damage.

[alldeduction]

So? How exactly would you stop it, even if you were there?

[girlverine]

[There's a little pause as Laura actually considers the various strategies for disarming and stopping a living, dancing, singing refrigerator.]

Cut the door off then tip it over.
