[The Story Eater has been vanquished and most of the elements it summoned have disappeared. But caches of Malice that appeared during the event have stubbornly remained around Reverein. Link isn't much of a journal post person, but he decides to say something anyway.

First, an imprint of a picture appears, along with an arrow pointing directly at it and a big, bold X.]

Don't touch the purple stuff.

[... That's it, that's the post.]

Touching it causes pain?

[??? How much more specific can one person get in ten words or less...]

[threebetrayals]

You just described fire. What about this purple stuff is so dangerous?

[skyglider]

Fire is a bit more of an immediate concern, though.

[threebetrayals]

So what does this purple goo do? You're not actually convincing anyone not to touch it, you know. Being so vague...it's almost like you want people to touch it.

[Someone spray this cat with the spritz bottle.]

[skyglider]

Sounds a bit like you want to touch it, too.

[threebetrayals]

All I have to go on is your word that it's dangerous, but you won't explain how or why. Can you blame me for being curious?

[He won't touch it but also.]

[skyglider]

That's fair.

Don't say I didn't warn you, though.

[threebetrayals]

Except you didn't warn me, did you? You haven't warned anybody. You've just told us there is this purple goo that stings when you touch it but you have told us what it does or if you even really know what it does?

A pity. Hopefully nobody gets hurt because they lack information.

[skyglider]

Most people would be discouraged by the stinging part.

[threebetrayals]

You have a high opinion of people's intelligence and impulse control.

[skyglider]

Thank you.

[threebetrayals]

[Ah. He is also an idiot.

Well, Wanderer's done here.]
