[QUOTE="The Crimster, post: 193185, member: 2511"] Alex continues his questioning of a rather open Ted. "What were you guys taking from the study?" Ted stares at Alex silently for a moment, and then licks his lips. "We came for the words of the Scarlet King. And they were right where [i]he[/i] said they would be. Do not worry, whomever you are. Only good will come of this." "What the heck did that Tommy guy do that made him vanish? What was with the shifting geometry?" Alex nods over to the corner. The corner of Ted's mouth quirks in a smile. "You mean Bobby." He looks around, wide eyed. "Vanished, you say? Perhaps he fell into a vertice of sorts. They're all around you know. So is 'geometry', as you call it. As if you have the slightest grasp of geometry. Oh... I'm sure you have a [i]Bellsian[/i] understanding of simple three dimensional structures. But can you understand a fourth or fifth dimension? Hmmm? What happens when you remove the second dimension of a fractal...? [i]Do you know what happens [b]then[/b][/i]?" In the distance, the sound of sirens can be heard. Ted quiets down, and sniffs. Sort of sadly. "Who is the King and who is the Queen?" Alex asks. Ted looks even sadder for a moment. He looks up at you, his eyes full with tears. "Alan, of course. Alan is the Scarlet King, and as his wife Julia is the Queen. But he's dead now, gone to the great Null before we could do anything." He slowly lowers his head. "You don't understand. This is like tutoring a 3rd grader in quantum physics." [/QUOTE]
