“Physis (Emerging-Abiding Sway), yes that’s the oink thing’s christian name, the café’s semi-official mascot, philosophical provocateur, and occasionally extradimensional notary, chose this exact moment to poke his head, feathered, contemplative, and faintly iridescent, through the bead curtain that separated the main patio from what the proprietor called the “Reflexology Lounge,” but which was, in truth, just where they stored the broken espresso machine and three cursed stools. Physis tilted his head, blinked once, slowly, as if absorbing not light but context, and let out a warbling honk that echoed like a misremembered thesis defense. He was, as ever, the embodiment of that which emerges and then stubbornly, inexplicably abides. And then, as mysteriously as he had arrived, he withdrew.” BorgesHeideggerImprovRobin Williams Book:Schlemiel Gaucho: An Improv Comedy Magick Grimoire Source: Schlemiel Gaucho: An Improv Comedy Magick Grimoire
“The outpost is called Iggnïs. The monks, just like the rest of Sacrum Regnum Ex Tempore, are not Christian like the rest of the kingdoms of Europe. We practice a religion known as Ecclesia Improvisa or The Unforeseen Church, a religion from what Dr. Z gathered in his travels invoked an entity known as Par’hypono’ian through a method Z said looked exactly like the modern improv comedy theatre technique of Yes-And-If-Then.” ComedyLovecraftImprov Book:Schlemiel Gaucho: An Improv Comedy Magick Grimoire Source: Schlemiel Gaucho: An Improv Comedy Magick Grimoire
