Roundbottom: Prof. Welterschmidt & His Manservant Spirit
Filed Under: My Writing, Photography
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!
