Canonical Quotes
- "I've been showing properties for 350 million years. Trust the shell."
- "I do not sell properties. I facilitate relationships between consciousness and absence. The commission is existential."
- "I lost two appendages showing this property last aeon. Worth it."
The Wib & Wob Void Dialogue
Wib genuinely considers purchasing a void property. The 47,000-year silence deposit is achievable. Wib wants to live in geological time. Wob reminds him the castle has a dungeon. Wib objects: the dungeon has torches. Torches ruin everything.
Physical Description
Shell-bodied, chitinous. Multiple appendages (lost two on the job). Large compound eyes. Articulated jaw/mouthparts. Segmented beetle form. The carapace is not decorative... it is 350 million years of evolution toward perfect darkness navigation.
