In a shadowy corner of the Royal George, a newcomer watches in
fascination and confusion as theories fly around her. She wanders
slowly around, trying to look confident and nonchalant, but failing.
Several crumpled maps of the Bay are stuffed in her pockets, marked
with nearly illegible notes in various scripts. Her attention is
suddenly drawn toward two people standing in a secluded corner,
staring expectantly at a bizarre device. Suddenly, after emitting a
series of strange sounds, it spits out a small strip of paper.
Abigail tears it off and reads:
"DIMINISHING CAPACITY: Death In Massive Increments Negates Its
Supposed Horror - EveryDay Corpses And Perpetual Atrocities Cause
Indifference To amplifY"
"It fudged it a bit at the end." Derannimer points out.
"Well, this is only a beta version." Abigail says sadly. "If you've
got something better I'll be glad to hear it."
"No, I suppose this will do."
"Excuse me," the newcomer says in a small voice, walking
closer to the
two. Apparently not hearing the timid voice, Abigail and Derannimer
begin to argue over who should take the new acronym to the Captain.
"I'm sorry, can I interrupt?" the stranger says, louder
this time.
Abigail and Derannimer turn to stare at her. "Hello," she
says,
smiling a bit more confidently now. "I've been wandering
around this
place, trying to get my bearings, and I couldn't help
overhearing.
I'm Corinth, by the way. I was wondering if I might add a
suggestion
to that acronym. Perhaps making it plural would help the ending.
"DIMINISHED CAPACITIES: Death In Massive Increments Negates Its
Supposed Horror - EveryDay Corpses And Perpetual Atrocities Create
Indifference Toward Empty Sacrifices.
"Just a suggestion."
