Episode 86

[spongetastic]

It'll be two years today. It's hard to believe I've been here that long.

Comments

[heloise]

What are they, if I may ask?

[spongetastic]

Good thing: I've met people here I now consider family. Bad thing: it can make good people do terrible things.

[heloise]

The latter--is that not also true elsewhere? At least, in Rome.

[spongetastic]

...Yeah. Good people can do bad things anywhere. The difference in Paradisa is that you're under magical control.

[not that he's speaking from experience or anything, innocent whistle]

[heloise]

Do you think then that the castle has malevolent intentions?

[spongetastic]

I do.

[heloise]

The name is meant to mislead, or perhaps, an irony.

[spongetastic]

Probably a little of both.

[heloise]

And so, you accepted my congratulations for your survival thus far?

[spongetastic]

Pretty much.

[heloise]

Well then, Peter, when you ask me again, you should also congratulate my survival.

[spongetastic]

I will.
