So soon after her last public missive, The Witch of Unreality sends out another set of flyers. This time? For one person in particular.

Daughter of Mortyl, Salem.

"Hello. This flyer is from Fauste. If you are not Salem, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

I don't know how else best to reach you. I don't know where the descendants of natural concepts frequent.

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

I would like to study you first and foremost. Whether that is to be taught directly, or to actively run experiments on you.

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

I've been weaponizing my nihilism for quite some time, but if it is your natural state- that warrants learning.

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

I'm told that it's rare for you to care about mortal affairs, which is why if the initial offer doesn't intrigue on its own...

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

Then I would like to challenge you instead. One way or another, I need to perfect my understanding of you.

I HATE FORUM FORMATTING.

Please tell me which works best. I am not intending to accept a 'no', however."

there is a chill within the very souls of those who may have picked up one of those fliers sent by fauste.
like a shadow briefly touching upon their heart, momentarily stopping it, but forever infusing them with the sensation of
a p a t h y.

there is no response.
but it's hard to not feel those eyes,
watching

waiting

deciphering

the why.

time is ticking for you, isn't it, fauste?
