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?

Comments

[keyofimagination]

I suppose you could say that.

[Yeah he's not giving you a straight answer.]

I'm glad there are some things you like about this place. I'm sorry you miss home already, unfortunately I don't believe there is anything I can help with that.

[forgottenfounder]

[Despite everything, he can't stop some small sound of irritation from slipping out.]

Yeah, I guess that's the point, isn't it? [hmph.]

...We just went through something really, really bad. It was the first time I ever got to hear my wife laugh in... a long time. [A small, restrained sigh, as he ran his hand back over his head, smoothing his ears down.] Wasteland was... actually looking better, for once. And now I'm not even there to celebrate with my sweetiepie.

[keyofimagination]

[He frowns slightly.]

I am aware of your story, Oswald. And everything about Wasteland.

If it were up for me, you would have come here at a much less inconvenient time. You really deserved something nice.

[forgottenfounder]

...You are, huh? That's a little strange, don't you think?

[Really strange.]

I know I deserve something nice. That's what I've been saying for years. And the moment I get it? This happens!

[No end to his adventures, but he at least wanted to end the last one on his own terms.]

[keyofimagination]

Oh, I don't think so. I know a lot of things.

[He shakes his head.]

At least you don't have to worry about dying here. It's not the greatest comfort out there, but it's something you have that no one else in this hotel does.

[forgottenfounder]

...Yeah.

[He kind of deflates a little, plopping himself down on the edge of the bed.]

Pretty lucky, aren't I?

[keyofimagination]

[There is a very long pause before the Narrator speaks again.]

... It's funny how fortune seems to frown down upon certain people. When those people did absolutely nothing to deserve her curse in the first place.

[forgottenfounder]

Yeah, I never was very accurately named.

[Thanks, dad.]

So, anything else you want to know about?

[keyofimagination]

[Yeah, fuck you Walt.]

That's enough for today. I hope the new week goes well for you, Oswald.
