OOBLECK

so i heard something today. something HUGE. so huge, so enormous that i can hardly keep from spontaneously combusting. i wanted to tell someone right away. but the more i thought about it, i won't be able to prove it, it's not really any of my business, and what would it accomplish anyways? everyone assumes as much already...so i decided to keep it to myself. for the most part anyways. it took a lot of self-control not to breathe a word of it, even to people i believe i can trust not to tell, or even those who i know wouldn't really have any way to spread it around effectively, even if they told people. but that's beside the point i guess. what the more pressing issue really is...what do i do with what i know?

to me, this is the most solid thing i have heard so far. at least, solid at that nice, cornstarch and water mixture state. oobleck. it all depends on surface tension from now on, and it can turn solidly solid from here on out, or back to liquid that slides through your fingers. do i use this knowledge to apply more surface tension? or do i sit back and let it be what it wants to be, now later, or maybe never? do i let it sit to evaporate, or to congeal? i don't know.

i fell like i've been waiting for something like this for far too long. and now that it's here, i have no idea on what to do. do i prod at it and increase surface tension? or do i believe it to be fixed at either solid or liquid? the more i think about it, the sillier this gets. i feel like exploding. and yet, i've decided i won't say anything to anyone. but i wish i knew. i wish so so so badly that i knew, so that i could get a grip and leave it be at last.

i wish i had veritaserum.
