The Fountain of
Youth
What would a Repository
of Dangerous Things be without a Fountain of Youth? It isn't in Florida,
it's in Boston. All the living things in this room use this water, which
essentially grants them everlasting life- they do not age, wither, or die,
unless they are picked or otherwise come to outside harm. Obviously, the
Fountain isn't marked. |

The Fountain of
Remorse
A separate source of
water than the Fountain of Youth above - this decorative garden junk
causes the drinker to re-open old wounds. Worst memories are re-lived,
worst pains are re-experienced, and worst meals are re-tasted like a bad
belch that won't go away. Most people who drink from the fountain wish
they hadn't done so. Doesn't hurt the plants, though. |
The Poison Patch
Most of the plants in
the picture above are deadly on touch, ingestion, and sometimes through
the air. Don't stray from the path, you'll die (unless you've drunk from
the Fountain of Youth recently). |

Ravel Tree
This leafless tree was
on the premises when this section of the R.D.T. was built around it. An
attempt was made to remove it, at which time the tree unwound itself with
alacrity and thrashed the workmen to their helpless, mewling deaths. The
curator at the time noted that a core of the tree near the roots remained
tightly wound around something, but was unable to determine what. It is
generally assumed it is guarding whatever it is holding inside it, for
safekeeping. Or eventual mass destruction. |
Troll Bridge
A poisonous, deadly
garden is just the place for a structural throwback to the middle ages.
The troll under this bridge is about the size of a cat, and he lives in
the crumbled section. He casts a mean curse, however, and he demands
payment of a strand of hair for each crossing. This gave Davis trouble
during his bandana period. |

Gila Rock
Gila monsters spend 99%
of their lives underground, which is why you don't see it here. They are
also one of only 2 venomous lizards in the world. Some idiot captured one
from the wild and gave it to their young son as a pet. After it killed
him, it escaped. Ms. Harper found it and gave it a home in the Courtyard.
The entrance to its lair is behind and semi-under the rock. |
