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?

after the chandelier incident

[... Wow today just keeps going, damn. Joshua has left to go back to his room after all that, but after only a few minutes of being alone, he addresses the air.]

So Rod, I know you're busy, but may I ask you something?

[keyofimagination]

[The Narrator appears, looking more emotionless than normal.]

You may.

[lusito]

What happens to the dead here? Not just their bodies, but their souls too.

[Do they become ghosts here, are they sent elsewhere, or...?]

[keyofimagination]

They go to the afterlife, of course.

[He answers this without a second thought.]

[lusito]

[... Buddy.]

I was hoping for something more specific, as I think you and I both know that there are different forms of the afterlife for some individuals.

I am aware of the different forms of afterlife. However, where their souls end up is currently out of my hands.

[lusito]

I see. [...] At the very least, are they somewhere other than the hotel?

[IE, do we need to be concerned about them haunting the place like you are...]

[keyofimagination]

Let's just say I will be surprised if their spirits stay within the hotel.

[lusito]

Really? And why is that?

[keyofimagination]

My employer specifically requested to handle the guests after they have perished.

[lusito]

Is that so... well, now I'm curious to know what kind of purpose your benefactor would have for the souls of the departed here.

[keyofimagination]

I am sure my benefactor has a good reason for that.

[He's not giving you an answer to why, buddy.]

[lusito]

I'm sure they do. Alas, it looks like I won't be able to find out until I'm able to ask them for myself someday.

[keyofimagination]

If you're able to meet them. As I have stated, hotel management rarely comes over to this hotel.

[lusito]

I would assume they'll have to eventually, once there's not enough people left here to kill one another.
