Be careful using the word "enthusiastic" around Noodle.
The last time he heard that word, he was very enthusiastic about the feline he sent up in the air attached to a helium balloon. Said feline hasn't been heard from or seen since.
Some say the cat was never the same after that day, commenting on how his eyes had turned into pure black orbs that never blinked, how neighborhood dogs and cats would whine and cower in his presence, and always the mysterious fires. Always the fires.
