- Tibor: How did you like the museum?
- Scarlet: It was great!
- Julius: Awesome!
- Tibor: What did you enjoy the most? I particularly liked the swords.
- Julius: Yes, they were great. The bisium skeleton was also super impressive!
- Scarlet: The fruit.
- Tibor: The… fruit?! Of all-
- Scarlet: You don’t need to say anything. I know that I’m extremely strange.
- Tibor: A fault confessed is half redressed.
- Scarlet: You cannot change the nature of a man.
- Scarlet: When I was two, I collected over a thousand pebbles and arranged them in a grid by color and shape. It’s my earliest memory.
- Julius: You’re so cool!
- Tibor: Your definition of “cool” is also extremely strange.
- Julius: Maybe you’re just too uncool to recognize true coolness.

Scarlet is quite normal, given the theoretical eugenics results of colonial settling. Ship all your top-line space-travel era humans to one place and watch them breed for already high-chance traits like intelligence and strength. And liver function, and nutrient processing I guess. New worlds need new inoculations for new illnesses, and when a team of super-smarts gives shots to the abnormally healthy- but that’s off the topic of smart people breeding smart people breeding strangely smart people. I’m assuming the fox people were the natives of Lavarel.
I think it was a nice trip. On the other hand, Scarlet didn’t get to froth angrily at a display of an Iluminum refinery from King somethingorother era. No clues. No puzzles for her Mysterious Cities of Gold-esque quest. No book finds at the gift shop. No history information about the kingdom (Grondar, bad guys) attacking the country. Only lingering regrets about dinner.

Scarlet has a very organized mind, boarding on the OCD/autistic. I’m the same way, I HATE when a manhole cover with a stripe of paint on it is turned off the alignment… I’m aware the OCD aspect of that, and fight it often, she’s not old enough to learn that. And it does make her very smart when she decides to do something right. Scarlet has decided she needs to learn every bit of science she can so she can find that machine, and figure out how to turn it on. I’m quite sure she will, but it might take decades.

So for your sake manholes & their covers should be Reuleux triangles.

There would be a 1/3 chance of the paint stripe being exactly right.

Wow, a Planescape:Torment reference. :+1:

Loved that last two panels. They are – cool!

The museum contains relics of the past, but the fruit would for Scarlet also represent a future she wants to create. There are greenhouses in this world, so there may be a few fruits around that if the summer returns, can be multiplied.
