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?

It's hard to find people who would be willing to play that game with you.

[lusito]

I think you may have to blame Northwest for that one now, thanks to what he did with that board game here.

[No one wants to touch it after it was used as a prop for Vanellope's murder.]

[keyofimagination]

[He frowns at the mention of Preston.]

Yes, I suppose Mr. Northwest has ruined the reputation of that game. A crying shame, really.

[lusito]

How about next time, we'll play that one? I'm actually kind of curious about it despite all that's happened.

[keyofimagination]

I suppose I can arrange that, if you wish to indulge with me.

[lusito]

Of course. [... Ah, and now that reminds him, as he moves another chess piece--]

I've been meaning to ask, and I apologize if it seems a tad random in comparison to what we were talking about before, but do you know where some of the items in the penny press came from?

[keyofimagination]

From your home worlds and other dimensions, mostly. Why do you ask?

[lusito]

I received something interesting from it recently.

[And here, he holds up the envelope with Rod's name on it that he had in his pocket.]

Does this look familiar to you?

[keyofimagination]

[He looks shocked to see it for a moment, before looking amused.]

You got that from the penny press?

[lusito]

Indeed... since it's yours, I suppose I should return it to you, right?

[keyofimagination]

It technically isn't mine, if I'm being honest, but I'll happily take it off your hands.

[lusito]

Really? In that case, would you mind telling me what's inside?

[keyofimagination]

[He wordlessly opens the envelope and pulls out black tape, like something you'd find in a cassette.]

You know I'm glad you decided not to burn this, I'd be in huge trouble then.

[lusito]

Really? What would have happened if I had done something like that?

[keyofimagination]

[He looks amused.]

Nothing you need to worry about.

[lusito]

Oh, I'm not worried: I'm merely curious, is all.

[what the fuck is worrying, that sounds like something only people that are not us would do]

[keyofimagination]

Alright I'll tell you.

This is actually my soul. Destroying this means I will die.

[With the look on his face it seems like he's completely bullshitting you, Joshua.]

[lusito]

... Inside an envelope that "technically isn't yours"? My, how scandalous. How did it end up in there?

[keyofimagination]

Things like this get lost easier than you'd think.

[lusito]

Perhaps, but you should really be more careful when it comes to misplacing something as important as one's soul.
