Roundbottom: Prof. Welterschmidt & His Manservant Spirit

This week, Dr. Roundbottom’s friend and expert on the super­nat­ural arrives by train in the city to help with the ruse to solve the war cri­sis.   Here’s a taste:

Are the fac­ulty and stu­dents accus­tomed to the sight of your manser­vant at the University then?”

Quite.  Why do you think I took my posi­tion there, instead of here in the city? And no, not just for the wealth of local brew­eries cater­ing to the stu­dents.   Prauygis University is the most haunted in the four worlds!  One does not bat an eye at such things there.  A stu­dent in my 302 lec­ture is a lost soul, actu­ally.  Much more actu­al­ized than this poor fellow.”

Actualized?  Is this why he has no face?”

He nod­ded.  We began to walk away from the sta­tion.  I had passed a tav­ern nearby on sev­eral ocas­sions, and even though I never have the time of coin to enter such places, I had made note of its loca­tion.  Professor Welterschmidt has always done much of his think­ing with a pint of stout in his hands since we were stu­dents together.

Indeed.  Spirits are merely echos in the ecto­plas­mic fre­quen­cies of the aether.  This poor echo has lit­tle mind of its own, lit­tle moti­va­tion other than to work.  I pro­vide it that oppor­tu­nity.  With time, its actu­al­iza­tion require­ments will be satisifed and it will fade into the back­ground ener­gies. Anyway, you may note that most ‘proper’ peo­ple pay him no mind. Transparent and face­less he may be, but he is still dressed a low class laborer, which might as well make him invis­i­ble in these streets. ”

So, go check it out.  This week, you can con­verse not only with Dr. Roundbottom but with Professor Welterschmidt as well.    Where can you find such amaz­ing enter­tain­ment?  Why, click this link of course!
