Meanwhile at the other side of Murguol, Jack and his team just captured Waldo Nightshade. To make sure she wouldn't try anything, they stripped her clothes off. But of course, since Resizagirl and Vanessa felt awkward that a boy was there seeing a naked girl, they put new clothes on her. Her new clothes were old dirty clothes found in a trash compactor nearby.
Waldo Nightshade was unconscious for a while. They continued trekking across the snowy environment of Murguol, with Vanessa dragging Nightshade behind her.
Jack was freezing cold in this weather.
"I'm cold! We should find someplace warm! Otherwise, I'm gonna get frostbite! Shouldn't we rest in one of the black towers!", said Jack.
"That's exactly what the Cult would want us to do! They're trying to trick us! I know how deception works!", said Vanessa.
Jack smelled something, something delicious, coming from a tower just left.
"Do you smell that? It smells like, chocolate cake!", said Jack.
"They want you to go there!", said Vanessa.
"But it's making me hungry! I need something warm, and delicious! I'm starving!", said Jack.
"Yeah, me too," said Resizagirl.
Jack's stomach was rumbling, so was Resizagirl's. Even Vanessa's was.
"I'm starving!", said Jack.
"No, we must not fall for them!", said Vanessa.
Jack could hear Vanessa's stomach rumbling.
"You're hungry too, ya know," said Jack.
"Fine, I guess we'll die either way," said Vanessa.
"Besides, it's safe and warm in there," said Resizagirl.
Jack and Resizagirl went to the tower where the delicious smell was coming from. Vanessa reluctantly followed, constantly watching for enemies.
The door to the tower was open. They went inside.
It was, in fact, safe and warm. A table with food was set right in front of them. There was bread, meat, chocolate cake, and even vegetables and fruit. There was punch. All the food was recently cooked.
However, as usual, it was empty and quiet. No one was around, no one was waiting. It was just Jack, Resizagirl, Vanessa, and a captured Waldo Nightshade.
"Looks like no one's here! Let's dig in!", said Jack.
"Wait! What if it's poisoned?! What if they want us to eat?! Something is definitely suspicious! Freshly baked food, yet no Cultists around?! They may be trying to poison us!", said Vanessa.
"Stop worrying! I got a scanner, so I can scan the food to make sure it's safe to eat!", said Jack.
Jack scanned the food with a scanner. The food wasn't poisoned, not at all. It just seemed like normal food.
"It says it's safe to eat!", said Jack.
Jack took a bite from the chocolate, nothing happened. They all dug into the food. Vanessa stared at the food, but ate it slowly and carefully.
"This is so good," said Resizagirl.
"Yeah," said Jack.
"I don't get it! If it isn't poisoned, then what's the point?! No Cultists are appearing, and the food is safe to eat! What is that creepy old priest up too?!", said Vanessa.
"Ask Nightshade!", said Resizagirl.
Waldo Nightshade opened her eyes.
"Where am I?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CLOTHES?!!!!!! My clothes are nastier than I remember!", said Waldo Nightshade.
