[Gwendolyn is wandering around the kitchen investigating, and opens the refrigerator door.] Oh, this is for storing food. [She closes the door and circles around it. Then she opens it again, searching.] I wonder how it is kept cold. There is not enough snow nor ice to warrant such frigid temperatures... I'm sure father would enjoy a home cooked meal. But there is not much that I know how to cook. Certainly nothing befitting our king.

[She closes the door and sighs.] Griselda would laugh at the thought. I am a warrior, not a homemaker. I should not be thinking such things. There are people on the field to make our food. I need only be concerned with the next battle...

[Despite this, she continues exploring the kitchen.]

I do not know. Perhaps we have a different name for it. Could you describe what science is?

[is like, "I SHOULD KNOW THIS FROM MY TESTS"]

It's... a systematic way of getting knowledge from the world. Through experimentation and examination. And then it's supposed to produce results that can predict the world because it's supposed to formulate what the laws of the universe are.

Sort of, I think.

I do not know about all of that, but it does remind me of philosophy...

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

It's a bit like that, but usually with more practical applications. Like medicine and things.

I believe they used to discuss such things. All that they wish to discuss now is Armageddon.

As in the end of the world? Is it incoming or something?

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

Of course. The Cauldron from the prophecy has appeared. [It is so weird that you people don't know these common sense things.]

[eyebrow-lift]

A culdron means the end of the world is coming.

[Martha wants to know if there are witches AGAIN]

It is one of five disasters stated in the prophecy. Because of it, the kingdom of Valentine no longer exists.

[There's the male version of witches! But alas, there is no Shakespeare to hit on her.]

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[needs more Shakespeare]

How did a cauldron destroy a kingdom?

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

[I'll call him up, see what we can do.]

I do not know. The horizon glowed for a moment, and when we arrived there was nothing left of Valentine but lone walls and uprooted trees. The Cauldron was unharmed, and it sits in the center of a radial pattern. The disaster must have stemmed from there.

All those people...

[They were Daddy's enemies, who cares? :|]

The Cauldron holds tremendous power.

[Martha Jones, that's who!]

Is there any way to keep it from doing that again?

[birdofwar.livejournal.com]

As we do not know how it occurred in the first place, it is impossible to say how it can occur again. The dwarfs believe it was sabotaged, but it may be that they are too proud to admit they built a faulty machine...

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Do you know who would want to sabotage it?
