I was making my a recent stop in Sanctuary, when I met a fellow traveler leaving the town. He seemed rather excited. When I asked him about his demeanor, he stopped, turned to me and smiled while exclaiming the following: “How would you like to improve your life?”
Curious, I inquired as to how, to which my new ‘friend’ gleefully exclaimed that there were a new type of mushroom had recently been discovered in and around Sanctuary. All of them said to have near-mystical abilities to improve various personal functions, to which he made at least three subtle hints about ‘increasing one’s girth’ by these new and wonderous fungi.
Now here is where I need to express a word of caution…unless you are specifically knowledgeable about the various flora and fungi of your land, you should not just randomly consume any type of plant or mushroom that is presented to you, no matter how over-joyed your potential supplier seems to be in mannerism and confidence in his or her new product.
I quickly said I had a very large lunch recently, but appreciated his offer. I then made my way in the opposite direction.
Nowhere near discouraged, he waved goodbye and walked off, making some comment to himself about really wanting to break out in sales.
With this, I will end this quick aside. On your travels around these vast and rapidly-changing lands, you may encounter this man of the mushroom…whether you want to or not.
Choose wisely, if you do.
