I appreciate that Clay got a luchador's mask (or something styled after one). It just fits somehow.

We-he-hell! Now we're getting somewhere, both in complexity of puzzles and in terms of information - I get the feeling that the rest of them are gonna get considerably more Rube Goldberg-y, or at least involve several iterated loops to work out a solution. But in terms of what we've learned... 'Lafcadio' may be an assumed name - that's what use of quotation marks like that generally implies, in any case. Whoever Boone happens to be, however, apparently a friend of his (possibly this missing Marquis?) is also familiar with old fangly-fish-spirit over there, and on familiar (if not friendly) enough terms to understand a 'not so different' message. Our hero's basically a complete cipher to us - he never speaks, and we have no idea of what he was up to On an unrelated note, I was surprised to see a mention of the Devil's Hole Pupfish. That thing's an odd one - the rarest fish in the world, having evolved entirely within a limestone cavern pool fed by a geothermal aquifer. Total population's around 200 - 500 depending on time of year; the thing's kept under very tight study and fairly heavily protected. (My population genetics prof apparently was part of the research team for a while - apparently the locals hate the drat thing because the protections restrict them from doing some stuff they'd otherwise wanna do. It's apparently bad enough that when he went for a drink in town he rigorously avoided mentioning what his job was. This was some time ago, mind.) Still, getting your hands on one would be hard enough. Getting your hands on this bizzare-rear end one-in-a-hundred-generations polymorphism would...take some doing, to say the least. The Marquis seems to be a man of unusual connections as well as means.

marshmallow creep posted:This was definitely a much more interesting episode than stalking Trinity and Clay for days. Even if he does, a 12-hour fast isn't going to kill him (I'm assuming he's not hypoglycemic or something), and he gets reset back to his state at Saturday 12 pm at the start of every cycle, so it's not like hunger's going to accumulate.
