[i]"Noodle magic? Really?"[/i] Genesis stopped dead in her tracks. She hadn't really expected it to be taken seriously, of course, but she also didn't expect that somebody would notice the words on the book. Not that there was any shame in noodle magic; the topics in the book were still theories at best. Further testing had been needed, so Genesis figured she'd try a few of them herself. The results weren't good ones...well, they weren't there at all. [i]"So is that actually a thing, or are you just reading it for laughs?"[/i]

"A little bit of both, to be honest. Everything in the book is still theoretical, but it could be interesting to say the least if it turns out to be effective. As far as I can tell, though, it doesn't work." No point in lying, right? Lying was bad, after all. Naturally, Nux inside her was telling her to lie her head off about it. The idea was to try and fortify her spirit to the point that it could survive without a body for a time so that she could "kill" herself and get rid of the damn plague demon, but since the only good results (the only results at all, actually) in her noodly experiments were taste tests, Nux wasn't going anywhere via pasta. At least she got a wonderful recipe for a slightly sour mushroom-based sauce from the book.
