The decision of Ludwig Von Koopa

By Ironfoot

Ludwig Von Koopa sat on his laboratory stool, staring at the object on the laboratory table. It lay within a rather large bucket, which was sealed off from the outside world and put in an even larger graduated cylinder. The graduated cylinder itself was filled with acid with the pH of -3, as to act as a defensive barrier against what was contained in the acid-resistant bucket. Ludwig invented the bucket itself, and it was impossible to destroy with any thing or substance.

Ludwig tried to decide the fate of the thing inside the bucket. He originally thought that the decision would be easy to make, but it was not so. Taking a thing from Wendy O. Koopa was very evil of him indeed, but such a thing from that demon of a Koopa needed a proper fate. Days ago, Wendy had stolen one of Ludwig's best pens and used it to squirt ink all over Iggy's glasses. Ludwig usually didn't care much for sibling rivalry, as he always work in his room/laboratory. However, since something of his was stolen, he was furious on this matter. A day later, Ludwig snuck into Wendy's room and stole the thing, which now resided in the bucket. His vengeance has already played its role, but the thing now needed a good fate. If Ludwig decides the fate incorrectly, he may regret his decision for the rest of the day, which certainly wasn't a pleasant thought. However, if he choose a more proper and suitable fate for the thing in the bucket, he may become a very happy man that day, and relish the power of the thing. It was a hard choice indeed.

Ludwig began to grow hungry as he continued to stare at the thing. Not wanting to get hungrier, Ludwig sorted out the best of his ideas in his head, ending up with his two best fates for the thing. He put his hand on his chin, stumped between the two ideas. Both fates had an equal amount of happiness and joy for him, yet both fates would destroy the thing as well. Ludwig, still without a final decision, jumped down from his laboratory stool and walked over to the laboratory table. He looked inside the bucket within the graduated cylinder. The thing remained unchanged as it lied inside the bucket. It had a shape of a circle and it was brown in color, featuring black spots here and there. The texture looked rough and dry, as cracks big and small were seen on the surface of the thing. Ludwig's face moved closer and closer to the graduated cylinder until his very forehead was touching the side of the cylinder. As he continued to thoughtfully stare at the thing, he eventually muttered aloud:

"Shall I eat the Chocolate Chip cookie, or shall I watch it dissolve in acid while maniacally laughing at it?"

Well? Choose, before Ludwig burns acid on himself! x_X
