Bored with all this lovey-dovey drama, Nexus has created a new room with a most unusual effect. It seems someone had left a book of fairy tales out or suchlike, and now this room is bent on making those

[Talib's odd "family" in the Nexus had disappeared some time ago, leaving the madman strangely adrift. He wasn't quite depressed that his people had gone away. He was merely...distracted. He had, as it is occasionally said, become accustomed to their faces.]

[And they had been his.]

[But all of that matters very little now as the Iraqi soldier lies motionless in a glass coffin. The dress is hardly flattering, but insane torturers who wander into effect rooms can't be choosers.]

[Tap-tap-tap goes the sword]

[Talib doesn't move, doesn't breath, doesn't even twitch as if sleeping.]

[He's pretty much dead, yep.]

[breakuliquid]

[The lid falls to the side and cracks as it hits the ground.]

[Still no reaction from the dead guy.]

[waitaminute]

/...Master. You are wearing a shirt./

[He isn't sure whether to be scandalized or amused.]

[breakuliquid]

/Why? Have you stopped?/

[Talib frowns at the sword, not at all comfortable with his immensely vulnerable position.]

[breakuliquid]

/I have not!/

[He looks indignant]

/You have not called for me!/

[But he had secluded himself somewhat after his family had vanished.]
