[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] I'm not sure what "interior time" refers to (possibly the character's "internal clock", or something?), but "rudderless" is presumably a metaphor referring to boats. If a boat doesn't have a rudder, you can't steer it, and it will just go whichever way the water carries it. "Trench art" was art pieces created by World War I soldiers while they were stuck in the trenches. The Kaiser in question is, of course, Kaiser Wilhelm, the ruler of Germany at that time. I assume the "diamond scribe" is a pen that has a small diamond in the tip, rather than ink. They're used for writing on things like metal and such when you want to scratch the words or marks into it. "On edge" appears to be referring to the watch's edge, yes. A guava is a kind of fruit. A smoothie is a drink made out of fruit and ground-up ice. A sharps container is exactly how it's described there. It's a plastic box, usually found in hospitals, used for disposing of sharp objects like needles. You're right about "coptered". The phrase "running up a big bill" by itself doesn't specify whether or not he actually had the money to pay the bill. It could be either, really. You're correct about the meanings of those last two phrases, also. [/QB][/QUOTE]
