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

...I'm afraid it was a part of our agreement to not delve into specifics about them. I would rather not parish before our plan has gone off the ground.

[forgottenfounder]

[...Yeah, trying that was probably dumb.]

Alright, then... what do we do? What am I supposed to do to help?

[keyofimagination]

Finding weapons would be a start. Something to protect yourself and everyone else once the opportunity is right.

[There is a pause before he continues.]

I will have to gather information for how to get you out, but I think I have an idea of how we could escape.

[forgottenfounder]

Weapons... maybe the knives in the kitchen? Or maybe I could put something together... [But with what. There's not nearly enough parts around here for anything. Even Gus would have problems with this.]

Oh... what I wouldn't give for Mickey to be here. His brush would makes this much easier.

[keyofimagination]

[He frowns slightly at the mention of Mickey.]

I'm sure his brush would have been taken away regardless. You should be well aware by now that they don't want escape to be easy.

[forgottenfounder]

I mean, if we had it at all, it would be really useful.

[But they don't. Hmm.]

If we knew how to escape, I could try and work towards making something for it.

[keyofimagination]

[The Narrator murmurs something to himself. Oswald can't make out all of it but there are mentions of "exit".]

I think... the biggest obstacle you have right now is doing all of this without my employer noticing. I know that's a lot to ask out of you, but if you feel up to the challenge...

[forgottenfounder]

...Keep everything under wraps, huh?

[He can just shrug, like they're not worrying about their lives being at stake.]

Well, I have been hiding this whole job from everyone else.

[keyofimagination]

[Look at least he's being open as to why he wants this to be a covert mission.]

I fear that telling this now could put us under danger, but my employer is usually hands off... Maybe we could use that to our advantage.

[forgottenfounder]

[It's the most he's ever gotten out of Narrator-san. It's nice.]

Sure. In that case, unless something screwy happens, we should be alright with things as they are.

[...He rubs his brow a bit.]

I hope.

[keyofimagination]

[Notice him Oswald senpai.]

Hope might be the only thing we have right now.

[He turns to Oswald.]

I do want to thank you again for agreeing to all of this. I wouldn't have blamed you if I scared you off last week.

[forgottenfounder]

Hope was the only thing I had for a while. I'm used to it.

[. . .]

Look, I'm... I had trouble trusting people before. A while back, I even considered betraying someone I just got to know for... [He shakes his head.] It's not important. The point is, I learned I should give people a chance... even if I didn't like them at first.

[keyofimagination]

It's an admirable trait you have. I wish more people would be willing to forgive those they don't trust at first.

[forgottenfounder]

It's nothing special, I just figure that people deserve a second chance.

[If he can forgive the Mouse that took everything from him, why can't others be forgiven?




This may or may not ruin Wasteland further in Oswald's future.]

[keyofimagination]

[Rip Oswald.]

It's an admirable trait to have. I certainly don't regret choosing someone like you to help me out with this.
