entry 9 - felt like kind of a slog



set the scene: you are a mad scientist

i've been in my laboratory mixing various fluids and animal parts trying to get the perfect elixir. People have been asking me for what, and I really don't know how to answer that question. It's a question that only people outside the mad scientist community would ask, but I generally try to appease them by talking about eternal life or love or sexual prowess. Everyone wants an elixir for all of those things. For me, I suppose it's really just the possibilities of creating elixirs that do all sorts of things.

When I was younger I somehow discovered an elixir that allowed for the growth of additional limbs. This wasn't as helpful as I thought it would be, as no one wants to date a person with seventy four limbs. In retrospect, I probably should have allowed the possibility for use in patients who have lost one or both limbs, but I wasn't feeling that magnanimous. I was creating elixirs to impress girls, not to help out fellow doctors.

Plot twist: a car is involved

i've been working on adding car materials to my elixirs for a few years now. I read a study where the patients started eating metals and alloys and experiencing tremendous benefits. I thought I could apply this to my elixirs, but sadly they haven't been producing many results. When I tried to eat part of a steering wheel I ended up in the hospital for seven weeks. Sometimes I curse my body for being so weak. If only I had a more godly body, a body of the homo deus!

Plot twist: you find a note of cryptic symbols

I find a note of cryptic symbols that someone sent me in the mail the other week. It was from someone named “supdarren” who had found symbols from Tal Rasha's tomb. I have been wanting to find the true tomb of tal rasha but for some reason can't defeat the summoner that leads me to him. It's very discouraging scouring Tal Rasha's tomb only to come out with an el or an eth rune at the end of it.
That being said, I'm not sure if I'm physically capable of standing up to Duriel, the beast that resides in his tomb. My summons die instantaneously and I'm deathly vulnerable to both cold and poison.

Plot twist: a mysterious man

A dark wanderer taps at my window. I can barely see his face.

“tyriel?” I ask.
“yes, it is me.”
“what have you come here for?”
“the soulstone”
“i don't have it.”
“yes you do”
“i really don't.”
“oh.”

with that the wanderer takes off his mask. It wasn't tyriel. It was fucking darren
