Chapter 78: A Continuously Weird Day
"So where should I put this fountain?" I asked myself.
{I recommend placing it in the house.} The Gods helpfully added.
"Why the house?"
{Artistic value.}
I contemplated the suggestion, and decided to go with it.
"Alright."
How could it go wrong?
-20 minutes later-
It went wrong.
But it was a good kind of wrong. Like accidentally buying the wrong candy, only to find out you like it more than the one you meant to buy.
For a bit of context, I went back to my house and placed the fountain down, and it functioned normally.
Fast forward a few minutes and Isaac is knocking on my door.
I opened my door, and Isaac immediately asked me a single question.
"Did you turn the water purple?"
"Why do you think I did it?"
Isaac looked at me with a flat stare.
"Because you are the only person here who would do something this weird."
I couldn't refute his claim since it was entirely true.
"fair enough."
Fast forward another few minutes and I realize that the fountain apparently has an area of effect, and now all the water in approximately a mile is now purple.
I was still talking with Isaac while this went down, and he voiced his thoughts on the matter.
"I'm not sure if I should be amused or annoyed at this."
I looked at him and had a single thing to say:
"Both."
We walked back to the area I built the homes at and bumped into Celeste on the way back.
She looked me in the eyes.
"You met a witch doctor." She stated in a tone that expressed that she was not taking second opinions.
"Yep. How'd you know?" I responded.
"Because only those lunatics would be dumb enough to make something like a water fountain that changes the colors of water." She said.
I nodded at that, thinking back to the encounter I had with the crazy doctor.
"Yeah that sounds about right, based on how they acted. But hey, I got this cool machine, so it's all good." I said as I pulled out the imbuing station.
Celeste looked at the station in shock.
"They sold you one of these?" She asked incredulously.
"For 9 gold." I added.
She just looked back at me, shock still on her face.
"This machine is something of a treasure to the witch doctors since they can make nearly any kind of effect happen to a melee weapon with the flasks they imbue. The one who sold you this must have been out of their mind." Isaac commented, his gaze glued to the station.
"And why do you know this?" I asked politely.
"Living life as a merchant has its perks. One of them just happens to be a great amount of information from all over." He said.
"Any information I would find interesting?" I inquired, curious as to what he knows.
"Did you know that there's a cult trying to resurrect Cthulhu? apparently they tried to sacrifice an entire country at one point, only to fail. I wonder what went wrong?"
My interest was piqued at the interesting bit of info, but Celeste had a very different reaction to the information.
"They're doing WHAT?!" She yelled, obviously shocked at the revelation.
"Trying to revive the moon lord. It's a good thing they haven't succeeded yet at least." Isaac repeated.
I couldn't get a word in before Celeste stormed off, obviously very ticked off by the information.
"well that's just wonderful." I commented as she stormed off.
I turned to Isaac.
"When did you get this info?" I asked.
Isaac let out a small nervous laugh.
"It may or may not have been 20 or so years ago..." He confessed.
I sighed.
"This is your problem now. I'm not going to explain this to Celeste."
I turned around and began walking in a different direction, only saying one last thing to Isaac.
"Good luck. I know you're gonna need it when you try to explain what you did."
Isaac's only response was a heavy sigh and a resigned "I'm going to die."
And with that, I was all alone once more.
Well, until a realization hit me.
"Crap! I forgot the imbuing station!"
And so I ran back and grabbed it, giving Isaac a thumbs up and another parting line.
"Still not here to support you, since you made this mess yourself! If it's any consolation, I'll pay for your funeral!"
I could only laugh as I heard Isaac mutter dejectedly to himself.
'No wonder the Gods enjoy this so much! it's so much fun to see people at a loss for words!'
I was cut from my thoughts by a very upbeat voice.
"Oh hey, it's that guy who got hit in the face with a slime!" They happily yelled.
"Oh dear god no."
I ran back into Hayley.
"What have you been up to? I bet it must be super rad!"
I tried to be very casual in my explanation of what went down since I wanted to get away as soon as possible.
"Oh, you know. I turned all the water in my 'neighborhood' purple. Normal stuff."
The werefox seemed even more excited by the explanation.
"That's totes rad! How'd you do it?" She shouted excitedly.
'Oh dear god she's somehow gotten even more energetic. I think I might die before Isaac at this rate..."
"I put down a magic water fountain." I stated flatly.
"Ooh that sounds really rad! How does that work?" She asked, just as excited as always.
"I have no idea." I responded.
The werefox was silent for a moment, so I took it as a chance to escape.
"Well, I have to go make all the water normal again, so bye!"
And with that I dashed away, while Hayley responded loudly.
"Aww, but nobody likes boring old blue water! Purple sounds much more fun!"
I didn't respond and continued to run.
This day is way too chaotic for me. And I was enjoying most of it.
