73 More than one Party? (1/2)
***On an unknown world, there was...***
Blasius Alronde is the greatest artificer of his time. His genius is said to match the gods. But his fellow craftsmen just look down on him in pity.
This was for one reason. Blasius invested all of his genius on only one thing. And that was a device to spy on the gods. Blasius wanted nothing more than to know what moved the beings who were so far out of everyone's reach.
He was in pursuit of knowledge, which wasn't meant for mortal ears. He wanted answers for existence itself and all the other impossible questions which burdened every living being.
So after years of studies and failures, he finally activated the device which would answer all his desires.
*Crrrck*
”And he was so bold! Look at this thing! I had to wear it and dance for him!”
”Whoa! That's dangerous Celes! Where did he get that! You should have a closer eye on your husband!”
”I know Sandra, but he finally becomes more active. I am not sure if I should stop him.”
”That's definitely dangerous. I think I saw that thing in a place of suspicious purpose!”
”What were you doing in a place like that Margerie!”
”Even I have to research this stuff in order to get someone. I feel the burden of taking care of my house. My brother ran off and dropped all responsibilities on me after all.”
”I heard he settled down with the wolf girl somewhere in the north. They are making children like crazy. The latest reports endanger Sandra's position as the top breed..ugh....cough... cough...that wasn't called for!”
”Shut up! I don't even want to know what you intended to call me Tanja!”
”Anyway! Have you seen Celes's head maid lately? I met her in town and she either fattened up quite a lot or..:”
”Rose is on pregnancy leave. My help with the chocolate worked a little better than expected with her boyfriend.”
”I heard he actually wasn't her boyfriend -yet- at that time!!”
”What? So she used the baby trap on him!? Your head maid is a fearsome woman Celes.”
”Hrm. It wasn't entirely her fault. I may have forgotten to tell her what my chocolate exactly does and she was unprepared.”
”So it was your doing?”
”I fear so. I didn't think about what would happen if she actually managed to land the big hit with Drem. You only start to appreciate someone else's work if she is gone. Luckily it's just a leave.”
”Hoho. That's the most important thing then isn't it?”
”Yeah. If I have learned one thing over the years then it's to hold those dear to you close. Enjoying every moment is important.”
”Don't speak like your maid is gone forever.”
”If you had a maid like her you would understand me....”
