Oh, I'm-...

... It was-... there was a girl.

[Locked] swiper no swiping! swiper no swiping!

[thiefshonor]

A girl? What did she look like? Did she say anything? [Is about to ask what she did, but maybe that's pushing it.]

What else did you see?

[Locked] i always wondered, what if they like... called his cell. from far away.

[lilyground]

She was-my size. She had long nails... and sharp teeth, and... she-...

[Locked] his body would still be paralyzed at the sound of her voice.

[thiefshonor]

What kind of animal? What did it look like?

[waywardassassin]

Paracelsus.

[thiefshonor]

Uh, yeah. That.

[waywardassassin]

He was a Swiss occultist. His motto looks like it's in Latin.

[thiefshonor]

What's "Swiss" and what's "Latin"?

[shesagift]

"let no man belong to another that can belong to himself."

[thiefshonor]

...that's what it means? His motto?

[shesagift]

Yes.

You know, he coined the term "alcohol".

[thiefshonor]

This guy jus' gets awesomer by the second.

[electronichound]

Paracelsus.

River already explained what his motto means, but... where did you learn about him?

[thiefshonor]

[Sounding a bit like a kid trying to explain a baseball in front of a broken window.]

Um... in a book. I've been reading lately.

[electronichound]

[He's intrigued now. This is a side of Celeste he wasn't familiar with.]

Which book?

[thiefshonor]

Uh... it's called "The Elements of Murder: A History of Poisons."
