But to create a solid being. That Knowledge must be searched for.
Here, questions will be asked.
For each you get right. The form of Mr.Alabaster shall be solidified.
For each you get wrong. Mr.Sanguine shall become more solid.
Whomever becomes solid first shall be quite close to death.

Quietly, she lifts herself from the patch of space she has always occupied, and with steps quite unlike those of one who remains still, she approaches the catsear.
