Quentin: so you like games, right? and you can see eliot's memories? do you want to know about the answer to the Mosaic puzzle? Eliot wouldn't know, I didn't find it until after he died.
Monster: you cannot elicit your friend from me with his memories this is a stupid game you are trying to play
Monster: ...but yes tell me how you won that game
Quentin: So, it turns out there was a tiled buried in the ground, a golden tile, I didn't find it until I was... digging a grave, you know? So there's this one tile that's been left out of the mix that is apparently key, and--the slate was clean, I didn't have any other tries on it just then, but I kind of dropped the golden tile in the middle as like a starting place, because it was obviously important right? if kind of unfair that someone hid it, i mean, for fuck's sake we never had a chance without it
Monster: and once you had it, was the solution plain? What pattern did it make?
Quentin: that's just it it wasn't a pattern it was literally just THAT ONE TILE. Like we didn't even know blank space could be PART of the thing and also absolutely none of the tiles we were given to start with had fuckall to do with it
Eliot: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE BEAUTY OF ALL LIFE? THAT'S SYMBOLICALLY ASININE WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT SHALLOW AND FACILE?
Quentin: I mean, Ember, probably.
Monster: ...you cannot overcome me in this way! i do not allow it!
Quentin: We already know Ember treated all of Fillory as his own personal soap opera. He probably got off on watching us bang our heads against the wall.
Eliot: that horny turd. if you hadn't already killed him,,,,,,,,
