R-regarding the monster, It seems we will have to take larger safety precautions. It's too loud for comfort.

At any rate, let's move on. It's near enough to the end of the week that I should give the answer to those who did not get my puzzle. The answer is clear, as greenhouses are made of glass.It seems it was too easy for you all. How about

This is interesting. I'm afraid I have very little idea. Though am I correct in assuming that there was water involved, at least at one point?

Speaking of the monster, I have a theory as to what it is, but I need to examine it more closely on my own to be certain.

[simplypuzzled]

Yes, there was. Scuba gear is used for diving and staying underwater for long periods of time.

I'm assuming it's an animal of some sort; I'm entertaining a theory that it's been injured, due to the sheer amount of shouting it does.

Normally if there is a forest fire, the Count simply entrusts Trauere or me to quell it. I have a feeling that the diver in question has no special abilities. But why would he be there? Unless... was there some sort of airship involved?

From the view I got of it, it seems to resemble a certain form of the Count. It doesn't make much logical sense for it to be him, I realize, but I need to know.

You're getting there. Think very hard about how the diver got to where he was.

So you believe he's done magic to make himself into a monster? Has he ever had any homicidal feelings towards others?

I think I may have it, but I'll refrain from saying it for now so we can discuss the monster without revealing the answer.

He only transforms when he is incredibly angry. My original theory was that he was here looking for me, but time does not agree with it. Still, the similarities between his secondary form and that of the monster are too great to ignore. I believe I will attempt getting a closer look sometime within the next day or two.

That's fine by me.

I cannot remember if this is true, but do you have any idea how to operate a camera? If you don't, I can always teach you...or, even better, I could accompany you on this trip of yours. This is a very dangerous idea you're acting upon; beyond appearance, is there anything else you've seen that supports your theory?
