Look!  All that gross mucus-y stuff is gone!  I'm finally better now!  [Not that anyone could really tell he was sick; his volume only decreased like a half notch even with a sore throat]  Wanna see up my nose?  I've always wanted to know what it looked like but it's kinda hard to tell with just a mirror and a light.  Oh maybe you guys can play me back the video of my nose later so I can see inside myself that'd be really cool OK wait hold on I hafta take a deep breath so I don't accidentally sneeze in the middle or something I'm still a little bit

AHCHOO!

[sniff]

..........Well now there's snot everywhere.  Gross.

Anyway!  I remembered a lot of cool stuff!  I'm from Mysidia!  It's a city of mages!  And I'm the youngest one, but I know like, almost all of the black magic spells already cause I'm a prodigy!  Toldja I was!  Everyone was jealous of me and Porom 'cause the Elder took care of us and taught us himself and we knew the most, but also 'cause I was way better at casting magic than they were.

Oh!  And I remembered something else!  We were all mages because we were protecting this thing called the Crystal of Water.  I don't know what it does but I bet it was really important.

It does!

Maybe it's how the world was created. Or it's the key to something really important. Or you can control a dragon with it!

[stinglikeabat]

A water dragon?

[alittleblackmagic]

An everything dragon.

[stinglikeabat]

An everything dragon? I've never heard of one.

[alittleblackmagic]

You know. Like it does everything! It spits fire and lightning and ice and also it cooks you bacon on weekends when you sleep in.

[stinglikeabat]

[He is like 80% convinced that this is an actual thing in Palom's world. But something doesn't add up!]

What does water have to do with bacon? Wouldn't it make you... tea or something like that?

[alittleblackmagic]

...Uh.

You need oil to fry bacon! And there's water in oil! ...I think.

[stinglikeabat]

Something doesn't seem quite right about that.

[alittleblackmagic]

Why not? I think it's perfectly logicful to me.

[stinglikeabat]

I'm not even sure what we're talking about at this point.

[alittleblackmagic]

How amazing I am, I think. ...That's always a good place to go back to, anyway.

[stinglikeabat]

No, it was something about bacon.

...I wonder if any place around here serves bacon at this time of night.

[alittleblackmagic]

I don't see why not. Bacon's something to eat all-day, every-day! We should get some!
