[The boy's voice is deeper, but it isn't the usual smooth voice of Dr. Richard Strand. The intonation and cadence, however, is. Richard has been unmistakably affected by the curse.

There's a sigh as one hand reaches up to, presumably, pinch the bridge of his nose as if he's getting a headache.]

Biding my time with scotch and books is my best alternative to trying to outrun it.

[spherenpc]

Careful. Don't want to get alcohol poisoning.

[nobasisinfact]

Would I come back as an adult if I did?

[spherenpc]

[spherenpc]

Yeah that’s gonna go real well.

[nobasisinfact]

[nobasisinfact]

[spherenpc]

Well, at least that's something we can agree on.
