So...what are your thoughts on treasure hunting?

And for that matter, what are your thoughts on conspiracy theories. Like say...a forgotten Templar treasure?

I'll just throw this last one in too. Would you take a stable, if somewhat boring and tedious, job or a chance for an adventure. Would you take a risk like that?

Just curious. [Not like he has a reason for asking or anything.]

I found the philosopher's stone once, you know.

[lookstairs]

Wait. Like...eternal life and metal into gold? That philosopher's stone?

[madeitsquare]

The very same!

[lookstairs]

That's...

[He's going to say impossible, but he's learned better by now.]

How exactly did you manage to find that?

[madeitsquare]

It wasn't that easy, but that's not really the the point.

[lookstairs]

Well I figured something like that wouldn't be easy.

[madeitsquare]

It doesn't matter, anyway. It'll never be mine again. I can't even touch it.

[lookstairs]

Why's that?

[madeitsquare]

It turns everything into gold. Everything.

[lookstairs]

...Ouch. Okay. I can see the problem with that.

[madeitsquare]

Aye. By the time I found out, my joints were already creaking like mad.

In the end, I gave it up to this guy from the International Money Council. As far as I know they're keeping the stone safe.

[lookstairs]

How do you keep something like that safe?

[madeitsquare]

An institution like that's got to have its ways.

[lookstairs]

Like what, exactly?

[madeitsquare]

Don't ask me.

It doesn't matter anyway! You've got me reminiscing about all the treasures I've lost now.
