Interview

Have time for an interview?
When one asks questions, one may receive answers.
Who are you?	One is called Shelda. One who is me acts as a vessel for the will of Mother Naturae. So it is one maintains balance and purity.
Why come to Snaktooth island?	A calling felt in the soul. Distant voices saying ‘they need you’. Free tickets won in a raffle.
➜ Lizbert held a raffle?	The raffle is a methaphor… but yes.
Thoughts on Bugsnax?	The Toxin. The Mother abhors them in all their alluring forms. One feels it. Crawling around us, beneath us, inside us.
➜ Who is The Mother anyway?	Mother Naturae! THE Mother. She, the purest light, from whom all life flows.
Why did you leave town?	One cast out they, the Scion of Toxins. Yet lessons unlearned, the cravings only grew. So it was, One journeyed far to isolate oneself and live by example. So it was, One got very, very lost.
Any info on Lizbert?	She the Huntress is gone from us. Strayed from the Mother’s path, chasing the Healer’s tainted love. Thrice were they warned. So this once you shall be warned. A doom befalls those who consume the toxin.
➜ Doom? Can you be more specific?	A DOOM OF TOXIN UNENDING! THE GROUND SHAKES, THE SKY SPLITS! LOOK NOT UPON IT, MOVE NOT AN INCH OR BE SWALLOWED BY THE QUEEN OF VENOMS! Or so I heard..
➜ You’re a fraud, aren’t you?	Everyone is a fraud, in a sense.
Thanks, that was all very unhelpful.	Ever are more questions asked, seldom are more answers given. One must live content with the absence of knowing. Meditate on this.
A vessel of the unknown. May answers be found in its mystery.
Shelda has a locked box. You'll need a key to open it!
