| Utterly unremarkable black frame glasses. They come with perks only a fan would notice and an inexplicably high price tag. This product was only sold during the premiere of "X-Ray Monkeyman". There weren't many buyers, and now there are just 300 prototypes left on the market. |
A green line cuts through a black-and-white checkered world—just the dash of mania the routine needed. Not a bad pairing. |
A retro-style automatic targeting and firing system resembling a firearm. It includes various assembly tools and special ammunition components containing liquid or powder, and can be used to create various thriller atmospheres or attack effects. |

| People are always seeking new thrills. Just like plants wanting to draw nutrients from farther, deeper places, we grow tired of the ground we've already tread. However much those sensory stimulants once made our hearts pound and our pulses race, the zest is always leeched out like the flavor from chewed gum. At that point, we take a final taste and then spit them out without a second thought. The failed researcher, the forgotten horror novelist, and the human who outlived his usefulness were spat out along with them. He lived in a cramped and messy studio apartment and scraped by on fast food and second-hand retail. "But they were wrong, my clever boy. " His grandfather—the best in the world, who taught him the beauty of technology and reason and brought warmth into the home—gave him a wink. "We'll love these awful movies until the day we die. " "We'll love these awful movies until the day we die! " the boy cheered. | ||

| Pandora Wilson: What made you so infatuated with 80s horror films? From a standpoint of logic and reason— Horropedia: They're so preposterous and wild that they couldn't possibly happen—they're the antithesis of logic and reason... Is that what you mean? Pandora Wilson: It sounds like you already understand what I'm getting at then. Horropedia: Aha! Well, you're dead wrong there, ma'am. Horropedia: Not only do they have rigorous internal logic, but once its rules are grasped, survival is possible even in the bloodiest, darkest places. It supersedes logic and reason. One could say that logic and reason in humanity were born out of fear. Pandora Wilson: Do you believe fear is the root of our problems? Horropedia: No! But very close! Fear is an instinct, like a catalyst that drives us to find solutions to problems, be it logic, reason, or passion... 80s horror films take this truth and display it plainly to the audience. | ||
Birthday Letter[]
1: On the eve of his birthday, Horropedia always anticipates something unusual, like a chilling knock on the door or a radio broadcast with an unchanging date.
2: The mail carrier must have thought it was a New Year's prank rather than a birthday present! Upon receiving the thick stack of horror movie posters, Horropedia slammed the door in feigned anger.
3: Chainsaws, puppets, and waterphones, instead of balloons, cakes, and birthday songs—that's the kind of birthday party Horropedia looks forward to the most.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time─a horror movie marathon in "the Foundation's domain." Since this wasteland belongs to you, and we both owe our allegiance to the Foundation... that means it falls under their jurisdiction as well. I'll provide snacks, drinks, equipment-and of course, the DVDs. What do you say? Interested? | ||||||||||||||||

I'm glad you understand this, Ms. Lucy! Communicating with you about logic is quiet efficient. |
|
The combination of arcane skills, ballistic projectile calculations, and logic as a way of working makes sense. I do not understand why some people confuse foresight with "superpowers." |
|
|
Oh, maybe it can be attributed to people's imagination. If you're interested, I can recommend some Disks to you. Like "The Shining Scary Hotel" or "X-ray Monkey Man," or would you like to try gore films? There's also... |

I respect your interests and artistic pursuits Mr. Joshua. But unfortunately, I have no interest in such art. |
