"Four fell into the dark until...they stopped falling."
"Four fell and then stopped falling. Four woke up and found something."
"Is the thing the four found in your arms?"
"DO NOT TOUCH THE PIECE" hissed the delver. The sudden violent reaction sending Urist scrambling back a couple of paces. "THE CODE the code the code code core code corrupt coor...core-"
"So what happened when four stopped falling and found the thing?"
A pause. The tangent broken off. A new topic discovered. "Four four four. Four is death. four died. Four became zero, then became one."
"You...died?" Urist couldn't help but get a sinking feeling in her gut. There was something about Agatha that didn't sit right with her.
'Agatha' shook-nodded her head furiously. "Agatha died. Agatha died in agony. Agatha died, then fought with others. Fought for life. Fought with 97201666598000000 others for the thing. Fought with each other, against, for, fought fought fought fought until-"
'Agatha(?)' giggled. "It."
"It?"
"It was in the way. They were in the way. The thing that stopped all the crawling bities and the soundless mouths and squirming dead from-"
"An amalgam?"
"Monster. Not amalagam. MONSTER."
"It. it-it...it was THERE. Always watching."
"There was an amalgam down there?"
"No-way out." 'Agatha' singsonged "No way out. Dug too deep. No way out. Wandered. Died. revied. died. Wandered. followed."
"Followed what?"
Agatha(?)'s giggles began to devolve into hideous laughter. The laughter bounced around an ricocheted up and down and
"Caerbannog. Chaos incarnate. Caerbannog incarnate. Followed. Somehow avoided IT. then..."
Crack. The delver looked up at Urist. She was smiling. The mood was deathly cold. Urist's instincts screamed at her to flee.
"Agatha's not home. Agatha died."
