Mystery Solved...

Positron: After years of exhaustive research I have determined the source of power behind the Well of the Furies...

Synapse: You spent years researching that? I could have told you in two minutes...

Positron: Right... sure you could... you still claim you know when you put your shoes on backwards because you can only run in circles...

Synapse: Fine... be that way... but let me guess... your research told you the water is enchanted by a round stone about the size of a quarter that rests at the very bottom of the well...

Positron: Wha...? How... how could you possibly...?

Synapse: Oh, it's very dark in color too...

Positron: You must have looked at my notes... you broke into my lab... you...

Synapse: I did not... I knew the power behind the Well almost a year ago... all you had to do was ask...

Positron: How?! How could you possibly know the Well was imbued by a magic rock?

Synapse: Logic, of course... Think about it... When the Well began to spread its powers among the general hero and villain populous did it give ALL its powers all at once?

Positron: Well... no... It only granted a few of them...

Synapse: Exactly... it gave everyone a TASTE of those powers... made them crave more... look forward to the next course in the meal it had prepared... And when it DID grant more of its power... did it give the remainder of those 10 levels of power all at once?

Positron: No... it only gave one more level of power...

Synapse: And has it given out a new power every month... even every several months? No, it's been releasing those powers about once a year... trailing us all along... making us pant and hope for the next one to come out every time something changes around here...

Positron: You make the Well sound like it had an agenda of some kind...

Synapse: Exactly! The force behind the well didn't want to just give us its power... it wanted us to wait for it... to hang around for the crumbs it threw from its table... almost like...

Positron: Almost like it was marketing itself... creating a perceived value for something we didn't even have yet...

Synapse: There you go... Once I realized marketing was controlling the Well... I knew the thing that was imbuing its waters was a Black Pebble...


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

I salute you sir for pointing out the bourgeois exploitation of the proletariat in the form of a never-ending crack addiction to ever-greater levels of virtual power. Down with marketing!


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

I've enjoyed your lists Steelclaw, sorry to hear that you'll be leaving us and nerf gunned to death.

I actually haven't had the time to cook for myself in about 6 months.

I expect that may change.

That was both funny and sad at the same time.
