The Brain Is Fertile Ground For Thought

Once upon a time there was a woman named Patricia, who worked in a bank. And one day a frog came in, a person-sized one. It wasn't the first time that dear Patty had seen or heard of a frog that big - she remembered the incident in the news: There had been a witch living in the woods, in a gingerbread house. Not a nice, helpful kind of witch or even a decent one who'd mind her own business, but one who hated everyone and everything and frequetly went out of her way to hurt people who couldn't defend themselves. So one day due to her supreme antisemitism God sent the frog that once plagued Egypt to fuck up her house. This, however, was not that frog.

When Patricia asked what the frog was after, he said he wanted a loan. When she asked what he wanted it for, the frog would not say. In return, the frog asked her whether she knows who he is. She could not say that she would, she had never seen this frog before. The frog asked her whether she knows who his father was. She said that she didn't. Turns out that this is the son of the giant frog sent by God. Pat is still not sure what to do with this information.

The frog digs into his suitcase and pulls out a tiny wooden figure, of a crudely carved dragon, and asks whether this is sufficient. Patricia is baffled, and asks the frog whether he could wait while she goes to see her boss and ask her opinion. The frog nods, stating that he was frankly hoping that she would. And to take the figurine with her.

So Patricia goes to her boss, showing her the figurine and explaining the situation, asking whether her boss knows what the wood dragon is or what to do with all of this. As Patricia speaks, her boss calmly picks up a newspaper from her desk and starts rolling it, soon wielding the rolled-up newspaper as a weapon as she addresses Patricia.

"It's a knick-knack, Patty [whack], give the frog a loan. His old man ate Rowling's home."

dear rain world fans,

THE IMPERATIVE THAT WAS IN THEM REMAINS IN ME

does five pebbles often disappear for very long periods of time or something

suns. what do you mean "not in a long while" he has literally been radio silent for 27,552 cycles. i understand that iterators perceive time as faster than we do but what the fuck . is pebbles disappearing for tens of thousands of cycles a normal occurrence why were they so casual about it if you say 1 cycle = 24 hours (it is probably longer) that makes 27,552 cycles = 75.5 years. it only took 6 cycles for moon to become desperate enough to force communications with pebbles so she was probably dead by then as well. how did this even happen without suns having any idea about it. talk to other local groups a bit more jesus christ dude

[WIP] This guy sure... Watches a lot. Wonder whats up with that

I feel that rain world may have DEFINITELY had some lovecraftian inspirations when it came to the void and rot creatures. Especially when it comes to the rot worm and prince. Were they seeded from a higher entity? Where did they come from...?
