Sticky Fingers, Pleasant Surprise
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 86256
|
Always a hero, Sir Fred chokes back the wave of fear and disgust that
would send a lesser man into hysterical paroxysms, and calmly examines
the muck on his hands. In the spare, purplish light of the runes,
however, it's difficult to make out much detail. All he can say for sure
is that the strange and sticky substance is quite thick, but otherwise,
so far, harmless. It doesn't squeeze; it doesn't burn; it doesn't appear
to be sentient or animated in any way. In fact, it doesn't seem to be
doing much of anything but dripping mindlessly to the cavern
floor. Emboldened by its lack of threatening features, Fred brings his hands closer to his face, hoping to get a better look at its shiny surface. What he gets is a whiff of its aroma; an aroma that is both sweet and familiar. Almost certain now -- and with the dash of recklessness inherent in all the best heroes and adventurers - Fred touches one sticky finger to his tongue and tastes the mysterious muck. And just as he suspected, it is chocolate.
