Private Contact (Foolish Mortals Archive)

[keyofimagination]

If you need to contact The Narrator, all you need to do is call out for him and he will appear in your proximity within a few moments. You don't need to worry about whether he heard you or not; he hears you.

Comments are screened for privacy. After all, what narrator would go around revealing everyone's secrets?

...You really think someone would that that? And you're willing to offer me protection? Look, I...

[He's honestly a little flattered by the gesture, or, he would be. Given the circumstances, he's not sure how to feel.]

Is it really all that likely? I mean, maybe Ursula will cause trouble, but maybe if you just give these people a chance!

[keyofimagination]

I admit, I'm amazed with how many of you are so convinced that no one will die in this hotel.

But my offer still stands. In the unlikely event no deaths happen, I suppose I could add extra incentive.

[forgottenfounder]

Hope is important, you know? It's helped me for a long time.

[And look at him! A spry 80-something year old!]

...Wait, extra incentive? You mean to kill? But... why?

[keyofimagination]

[Wait no that might seem weird in a certain context.]

... No, I mean extra incentive for you to continue working for me. Protection from dying doesn't mean a lot if no one is dying in the first place.

[forgottenfounder]

...Oh.

[COUGH Uh, he shuffles a bit, ears drooped behind his head, clearly a little embarrassed by that.]

Sorry, guess all the talk about it kinda got to me.

[But now that he's actually gotten a chance to hear about the WHOLE idea...]

Alright, you've got a deal. I'll let you know about any weird happenings.

[keyofimagination]

I understand.

[He seems a little amused by that misunderstanding, at least? Finally he reaches out to shake Oswald's hand.]

Let me know if you ever change your mind about this.

[forgottenfounder]

I will. [He might not, but. What can you do?]
