"Yes, exactly like one. You catch on quick." Goodness, if Buddhism
perplexed, the faith from the other side of the world would probably be
nigh-imperceptible. "No worries about deity; he's typically very lucid,
especially about that. Strange; you're not the first lady whose urged me to
dig deeper into things. And here I thought I knew it fairly well! Suppose
I'll have to puzzle over that and my relation to spades."
He agreed, and went through. Whoa! That Larva almost got a bite in. Ted
backed off, waiting for it to pass by. "That's one way to jump-start a
heart...easy does it." He waited for it to pass by, then quickly dropped
by, sneaking underneath to the west.
Another large room, eerily silent. They came in from the ground floor,
seeing two pathways: upper-left, and upper-right. The room itself has the
usual hodge-podge of alchemic materials. And one curious thing under a
drape. Ted couldn't help himself, but whoever uncovered it first would find
a choco souffle. This made Ted laugh a great deal.
"Oh, it's too absurd! Clearly, this is the reason this castle was built.
This was why so much equipment, both arcane and scientific, was
necessary, and why it needed to be guarded by scores of undead. Oh, that
man, he thought he could trick us by making some red tincture. A literally
red herring. I've seen through it! I can see it now; his brow, heavy with
sweat, as his best and brightest labor to find the perfect ratio of
filling-to-shell. The ingredients measured with the utmost precision,
chocolate extracted from a diabolical cocoa bean plant. We shall find a
greenhouse with the bedeviled tree just next door, I expect. But lo, his
heart grew as dark and opulent as his dessert, having sacrificed humanity
and sanity to produce it. And with most delicious irony, even what he has
shall be taken away." Assuming Koishi hadn't already scarfed it, he'd stow
it away. Perhaps the chaos of the castle had gotten to him.
Whether through infectious insanity, or just being Ted, he climbed towards
the upper right, merrily inviting Koishi to attend. "Oh, what a place. What
a loon!"
