Have I ever mentioned that Sparky shotguns Maalox?
Well, can you blame him? Just when he thinks that he's got a handle on things, something
like... something like... something like this... comes boiling out of
the woodwork. The worse bit was, of
course, that the Balseraph was sure that radio plays were safe. Vapula's always been a visual sort of
Prince: take away the eyeball candy, and surely he won't get any ideas.
Oops.
The worst bit is, not even Vapula was really able to
tell a frantic Sparky just what the HELL this thing is made out of. It isn't Undead; it isn't a construct; it
certainly isn't celestial and/or ethereal.
If he didn't know better, the Balseraph would swear that it's just an
incredibly disgusting, foul-smelling pile of chicken heart tissue that's
somehow learned to move around and eat things.
Of course, if things were that simple, Sparky wouldn't have that
annoying triple eye tick problem...
The problem is, of course, that the Damned thing
isn't easy to put down. It's not quite
as problematical as, say, a Shoggoth (theoretical physical similarities aside):
it's vulnerable to cold and heat and not immune to bullets. Unfortunately, it has to be extreme
heat, bitter cold and/or lots of bullets. Worse and worse, you had better get every
single atom of the stuff, or it'll just come back after it eats enough
mass. Cleaning it up took forever...
and, of course, once he finally got all of it, Vapula absolutely refused to let
him annihilate it. Apparently, the
Genius Prince thought that it was 'cute'.
Thankfully, Sparky was allowed to dump the CHTAtW into a thirty-gallon
drum, seal it and put it in corporeal cold storage (in every sense of the
term). Not an optimal solution, but
better than nothing...
What do you MEAN, the storage facility was trashed
during the last Lightning raid?
No, just leave the case of Maalox on the desk.
