Elpiscreator04294	Fortified enclosures? That would be dreadfully dull for all involved! Oh, if only there were someone who...
Elpiscreator04294	Aha! You have impeccable timing, my friend. I am in need of a bit of assistance, you see...
Elpiscreator04294	Why, of course I do! Are not all creative minds well compensated for their work?
Elpiscreator04294	I assure you that I do.
Elpiscreator04294	Now listen─we have been asked to design a new island for the purposes of containing and monitoring poisonous specimens. Alas, we know little of such concepts...and last I attempted “a bit of research,” I woke up three days later with far too much information about grypes.
Elpiscreator04294	You, however, have the look of a familiar that could not possibly care less about this subject. Thus do I require your services─you need only ask the researchers at Anagnorisis for a brief introduction to poisonous creatures, and steadfastly ignore any niggling curiosity in favor of reporting back here.
 	
Elpiscreator04294	A great bowl, with lips from which to observe? Have you gone mad!? The specimens will roll about like so many olives!
Elpiscreator04294	Ahem. Yes, please do make your way to Anagnorisis at your earliest convenience.
 	
Nikias 	Poisonous creatures? Why, there's one right here.
Nikias 	As you can see, its skin is translucent. The body within is, shall we say...squishy.
Nikias 	Fortunately for it, those beautiful, sleeve-like appendages conceal countless minute stinging darts. Most other creatures cannot so much as touch it, let alone devour it.
Nikias 	It would be fascinating to see how it fares against non-aquatic concepts. Oooh, perhaps it could even fly, should a light enough gas be incorporated into the membrane...
 	
Paramonos 	You are soliciting ideas for an isle of poisonous concepts?
Paramonos 	In that case, you might ask after the new cultivar from the Cthonic Horns. I am told it bears poison fruit.
 	
Eukleides 	The quintessential example of a poisonous specimen is the morbol marquis, of course. Never was there a creation so foul, so pungent─hence the name. Indeed, the concept has lately been adjusted to prevent any further...accidents.
Eukleides 	But the marquis! Oh, the marquis. It blinds the eyes and paralyzes the body, even as the mind desires nothing so much as to vomit continually to purge its stench...
Eukleides 	...Why did they ever make that thing?
 	
Nikias 	Why so reticent? It's almost as if you don't want to see it thrive outside aquatic environs...
 	
Paramonos 	Those at the Horns would doubtless be glad to see their work put to good use. That is what we live for, is it not?
 	
Eukleides 	I can still smell it...
 	
Elpiscreator04294	There you are! I had begun to worry you'd become mired in the minutiae.
Elpiscreator04294	Three notes─enough to see our options, yet not so many as to lead us into the weeds. Well done!
Elpiscreator04294	My, this “marquis” is fascinating, isn't it? How might one contain such a specimen, that it not befoul its environs beyond repair...
Elpiscreator04294	I simply must know! Excuse us─we are off to see a man about a morbol.
