# Ch.40: Latericiam relinquo

  I know it's not greek. Don't bomb my house.

  Wasted no time, and travelled in search of the big WOman.

  J: We should have just poisoned him or something.

  G: Nah, it pays to be nice sometimes.

  J: Pay me with what, cool sticks?

  G: You know? Just forget it.

  Z: I find the existence of such a civilization deeply offensive.

  F2: Aw! I thought that cat person-

  Z: Lynx. (Not links that's a browser)

  F2: I thought that lynx person was kinda cute!

  F5: Well, he sure was taught a lesson!

  F4: Are you sure this won't get us into trouble later?

  No, it will not. Author's guarantee.

  G: I don't think so. I do wonder how he will feel after this.

  J: Always so melodramatic!

  F3: Uh, melons and aromatic?

  J: Well hello? Planet not-earth to Filbert?

  F3: Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something else.

  F5: Maybe all of those sieverts are going to his head.

  F4: I hope not.

  F3: Alright, I was just thinking about what we saw the past days.

  It is quite a lot to process.

  J: Oh, too much for your sensitive butt? Do you want a massage?

  F3: Actually, yes.

  J: With a happy end at that?

  F3: Ummm...

  J: It's Nerf or nothin'!

  F6: Can I have one too?

  J: *Rubs hands*

  Z: I do not think that there is enough space.

  J: Ugh, let's just stop and set a camp. It's time for lunch anyways.

  And so they did. They also set up a picnic table for completeness sake.

  F2, F3 and F6 all got their "happy ends".

  No, I'm not removing them yet.

  The foxen had some olive-fried steaks and chorleywood "cake".

  The steak was condimented with marshmallows,

  and The Bay Leaf, from the bay tree.

  Unfortunately for them, they had to do the cooking again.

  Z: Perhaps you could do with some more fiber.

  F1 pulled a bowl full of celery out of the Bradley.

  F6: How do we have so much food all of a sudden?

  Z: We ran the car to collect some plants while you slept and went to the cave.

  F6: Oh alright.

  J: I must admit, Food is pretty much the only good thing from this place.

  G: It's kinda saddening to see that they don't have any good recipes.

  F4: Wait, seriously?

  J: Yes! Apparently these cavemen will cook a rabbit on a stick and go:

  "Mmm, such an elaborate meal", because even fire is sophisticated to them.

  F6: We forgot the daily workout.

  F4: Why did you have to remember that!?

  After resting from their meal and doing the daily workout,

  they kept travelling in the Bradley.

  Finally, they reached a somewhat larger town next to a mountain.

  It even had a fountain!

  Immediately, they rushed to harass the elder.

  However, her building had walls, so F5 kept banging on the door.

  F5: OPEN UP! WE WERE SENT BY THE OLD WOLF!

  K321: Hello! Which one?

  F6: Uhh, the grumpy, bitter, gray one?

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  K321: That doesn't narrow it down much.

  F4: He had a mole on his neck?

  K321: Ah! So Sfongoi sent you! Come in!

  ENTER.

  FOXES.

  The "archpriest" was a catgirl wearing a peplos,

  alongside a name tag that read: 'Hello! I am: Katia <3, Archpriest'

  J: Awww! She's so cute I could put her inside a wood chipper!

  G: I don't think that's a healthy reaction...

  K321: So, what brought you here? Wanna play- I mean,

  you must have some stories to tell!

  F1: Actually, we are here to ask about the emperor.

  K321: Aww! You're no fun! At least play-,

  entertain me before asking for such information!

  He is a really occupied person!

  J: Faber, throw what I left in your pocket to her left.

  F1 Threw a ball of yarn, and Katia OBVIOUSLY chased after it.

  She came back with a mess of strings tying her hands.

  K321: Could you help me with this?

  F4: Well, I guess-

  She went towards F5. Because he looked sexier.

  F5: Ugh, what are you, four?

  K321: What, no! I'm an adult woman,

  and I'm totally in the age for intercourse!

  G: Wow, she's really spilling that spaghetti.

  K321: Sorry. It's just that *exhale* I'm so lonely, you know?

  F5: Quit hugging me! Can't you just bang any other archpriest?

  K321: No! they're all like:

  "I am occupied. My job prevents me from engaging in intercourse."

  And nobody has visited me in FIVE YEARS! Nobody even lives in this town!

  Pleasepleaseplease-

  F5: Alright, alright! We will stay here for a while!

  G: Poor girl.

  J: What a loser.

  K321: Great! Please wait while I make some tea!

  Z: She seems more ingenuous than Fifi.

  After tripping several times while attempting to leave,

  Katia left. Later, she brought back some ceylon tea.

  F3: Sorry, but we don't drink tea. It is bad for the teeth.

  F4: Oh, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Do you want anything else?

  F6: Where is the emperor?

  K321: Ah...

  F1: First, is there anything you need?

  K321: Oh, *sniff*, could you at least uhh... Uhmmm... Oh god...

  Could you kiss me in my cheek?

  F1: Sure, close your eyes.

  K321: Y-yeah sure. God why is this so difficult?!

  I've kissed so many guys before!

  F5: Just relax, ok?

  K321: ...Sure. *closes eyes*

  K321: *sigh* Ok, I'm ready.

  The foxes blasted her with their preferred handguns.

  Ho OWNED.

  Kate awoke on a hospital bed in Fowler's position.

  From within the empty white place she saw a dark apparition.

  K321: W-who are you!?

  G: Just a ghost from times long past. But we are not here to talk about me.

  I want to ask about yours.

  How did you get here?

  K321: W-well, I was just a girl who liked to sing.

  K321: I wasn't really that good,

  and I'm pretty sure that there were hundreds of people better than me,

  but I guess I got lucky, b-because everything I did was a hit,

  like, an invisible hand moving me like a chess piece.

  K321: I couldn't be happier! I was signing contract after contract,

  Everyone respected me, and a-all I had to do was read out of a script!

  K321: They even gave me one of those golden tickets,

  and told me to keep s-shut about it,

  but assured me it was like a great treasure!

  K321: Then... I appeared on this brand new world, of pure green pasture.

  I was very eager to help... And they sure tolerated me at first,

  But then... *sniff* They started to go away, contacting me less and less...

  And after many years...

  K321: *sob* When I asked them,

  I asked them why they were abandoning me, they said, that they didn't care...

  K321: THEY NEVER CARED! *sob* They... They just thought I was a pretty face,

  and-and when they thought that, that they didn't need me anymore...

  THEY ABANDONED ME! *crying*

  The figure tried to console her, caressing her hair.

  G: I am so sorry, but what was done was done.

  Even if you repent now, there was no turning back.

  K321: I... *sniff* I never understood what, what they wanted!

  I-I just read the script! *sob*

  G: I know.

  K321: W-why wasn't I useful anymore!? *sniff* It was all a farce...

  G: I know.

  K321: I wasn't special... *sob* I failed, I failed everyone...

  G: I know. It's over.

  G: ...There is only one thing left.

  The figure removed her pillow, and as it gently approached her face,

  Katia resigned herself to death.

  Luck is a curse.
