Styx Institute - Conference Room

Excuse me, Idia. What was THAT?
I'm a world-class model, you know. I'm very particular about what comes into contact with my skin.
You expect me to accept a SPRAY DOWN from a glorified garden hose?
And you didn't even provide moisturizer!
Moisturizing after cleansing your face is the MOST crucial step in maintaining a beautiful complexion. |
|
- sigh* Now I know what it's like to be a car going through a car wash.
|
|
And what it's like to be a set of sheets in a dryer. |
|
It was bad enough that thing went in my mouth, but it even washed inside my ears. I'm still squicked out from that. |
|
I normally prize efficiency above all else...
But I've officially decided that no matter how busy I get, I will never start using an automated bathing machine. |
|
Really? All the staff love it. They say it makes showers take no time at all! |
|
Tch. That's not even the worst of it. It's this stinkin' collar. |
|
These chokers appear to have the same effect as my signature spell, Off With Your Head.
I've been trying to muster up some magic for a little while now, but I've come up empty. |
|
Sorry about that. We have to make people wear those to ensure accurate data collection. |
|
Wait, Riddle, you've been trying to use magic? Can't take my eyes off you for a second...
*ahem* Anyway, now that we've decontaminated you of any microorganisms you might've brought in...
I'd like to show you a little welcome video for Styx. |
|
A welcome video? |
|
Please take a seat and turn your attention to the screen. |

And that's the movie. Thanks for watching. |
|
That was a rather...cheaply-made promo video. |
|
Well, if you want the tl;dr version...
Magic is a fancy miracle power with lots of unknowns, and Styx makes sure people use it safely.
They've been researching blot since the olden days, like when people wrote on clay tablets and stuff. |
|
If you wish to learn more about Styx...
We have a two-and-a-half-hour documentary!
Would you like me to play it? |
|
I'm good, thanks.
So, Styx has been researching blot since ancient times.
And we're all overblotters. |
|
Yeah, I'm startin' to get the picture here.
So. What horrific experiments does the acting director have in store for us? |
