doomish temple oh for fuck’s sake observer try to be more original well actually that name is totally unique because it’s so contrived no-one in their right mind would possibly consider it mind you if he has to come up with a name for it does that not mean that this place does not have a name I mean it’s a temple a place of worship of course it needs a name why would it not have a name why why why I am thinking about that more pressing concerns right now like how am I going to survive I’m fucking doomed aren’t I the last meatbag is gonna snuff it no Vyrm’n can she help where where she’s buggered off why the fuck has she left she should be relieved to see me fuck no wait if she doesn’t want to go anywhere near me she must be in a very bad mood shit yes I have absolutely no idea what she did last round for all I know she could have gotten screwed over manifold damn yes that’s true face it fuck what are the chances no damn don’t think objectively about that it’ll only screw you over too late 1/3 and that’s back to basics not counting the fact you’d lose a fight to a sardine tin let alone the two monstrosities you face here plus one shit Konka Rar you bastard what are you doing here shit

find out I should find out I’m not going to find it out in here it’s pretty dull but awkwardly important of course it always is the small unsuspecting thing that’s totally not suspicious in any way shape or form the details the tiny little details and how they are pinholes in the curtain that let you see the bigger picture beyond hand in front of your face indeed now where choice of eight corridors make that seven Vyrm’n’s down one of them no confrontations please please please pick at random that one
very narrow very narrow why so narrow if you have a congregation you could not fit it through here too narrow must be special for priests only or something seems fair enough I suppose frivolity underground is a little silly too wide and it’ll collapse completely wait shit who’s following me oh it’s Clara she’s alright head’s firmly glued on she could be a good sounding board ooooh that’s clever yes it’s getting awfully cramped in here voice those concerns however silly they might be after all lack of communication got Galus killed fuck no not this again
The contorted expression this last thought produced seemed to trigger a response from the nun, presumably in concern for his wellbeing.
"What's on your mind, dear?"
All Maxwell could do was stare at her. How best to describe his every whim, his every little trouble and nagging annoyance. A window onto his world. What could he say?
Nothing much.
"Oh, I just... had a thought."
His new companion could obviously tell that those few words did not encompass his true mindset, but it seemed rude to probe deeper. As the genius began to stride forth once more, she sighed and followed behind.
