Brutus has not moved for a day. His full name is 'Brutus the Almighty,' on account of the fact that electric blue-legged hermit crabs are meant to be 'lively,' 'entertaining,' 'boisterous.'
Since Brutus's arrival in Biorbopolis on Saturday, he has been pretty boring. He did move around a bit - Sebastian hitched a ride on his shell for a while, opting for the less strenuous mode of transport. Since yesterday morning, however, Brutus has been sitting on a piece of rock at the front of the tank, firmly inside his shell. He is still alive, we have checked, but I get the distinct impression that he is sulking about something. It's ominous. He's like a baddie in a James Bond movie - he sits and broods contemplatively and then strikes.
I worry about who will feel his wrath. He'd better not try it on with Oliver or Maul, because they are pretty hard nuts themselves!
