>>6025117>>6025156>EXCERPT FROM THE NOTES OF CORRESPONDENT #314, AKA "RICHARD", ETC."I emerged victorious in the full game, as anticipated. What's more, the rules were adjusted: Karn and I would be deemed, officially speaking, 'tied.' I may have been too hasty in my foul mood: my parting handshake was genuine, and I hope it was taken as such."

"Karn set off to drain a bottle of 'hot sauce,' and evidently emerged victorious. By all accounts it was well-earned. Myself, I was presented with a hive of, per the announcement, 'giant, supernatural honey-hornets from the pain dimension.' I don't believe the 'pain dimension' is an actual place, so I presume this is hyperbole; nevertheless, this is not my body, and any pain it might feel is not my pain. I do not believe the 'honey hornets' would find flesh to pierce to begin with. If they can, I can expel their venom. All of this presupposes I would anger them to begin with, but I believe Apoidea are, like many insects (the common beetle included) adversely affected by nicotine smoke, which I possess in spades. I should be able to walk in and walk out. My competitor, an ordinary and not especially bright human male, almost does not bear commenting on."

"Both wield Charlotte's favorite 'magyck,' but one knows what pinball is, and one does not, no? Should that not be an obvious advantage?"
