Q&A Session

[Oddly enough, part of the Nexus seems to have morphed into stone walls and wooden doors more befitting of a castle than a Nexus building. Those who investigate the change might discover a cantankerous old gnome of a man sitting in one of those rooms.]

[The Magician of Information, Good Magician Humfrey, is not at all pleased to have been summoned away from his castle in Xanth. Now he's stuck in a drearily Mundane world, and will doubtlessly be pestered with Questions now that his challenges have been dismantled.]

[Maybe he'll be able to re-use some older ones...]

[((Humfrey knows the Answer to any Question someone might have, but he might charge a service for answering it or put pun-related challenges in the way of inquiring minds...))]

It must be a lovely household.

If there is even any such thing as a soul, I certainly can't lay claim to one. I was created in a laboratory from carefully cultivated materials. I am synthetic. I'm a weapon in the shape of a man, nothing more.

[He waves his hand] Fine, fine. Do they write it for you?

Another similarity. [grin] So can I.

Naturally, your magic extends to spelling.

[Liquid is silent for a moment.]

[Then he laughs aloud]

A golem! What an excellent word for it. I'd never thought of that one. Yes, I was made with a word written on my forehead: hate.

[It's fun to surprise a man who claims to be nigh omniscient.]

Caring about someone. If only it were so simple.
