"Of the Quest to Become a Sphinx"

#0141. To become a Sphinx, Itchy learns, is to pull yourself apart and rebuild yourself under the Watchful Eye. Itchy is overwhelmed by the Red Room. If Itchy has a soul, it doubtlessly on fire. He reaches within his core and pulls himself like saltwater taffy. His form is cast off like a hermit crab shell and he builds himself out of himself. When he completes this transaction, he will gain Sphinxhood, he believes. The secrets are never hidden from the Sphinxes. The Sphinxes can smell the content of every secret. More than anything, Itchy wants to KNOW.
