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?

[He looks a little uncomfortable at that question.]

I suppose you can look at it like that.

But I think... if you know what you're doing, you can send mortal beings into this realm.

[forgottenfounder]

So... it would have to be someone who knows how to move people from one realm to another.

[That sets some of his hair on edge. It sounds dangerous.]

But we can get out of here, can't we?

[keyofimagination]

Walt seemed confident to be able to get you out, right? If that's the case it stands to reason that there's some way to escape from here. I just hope it won't end with us trying to needing either Walt or my benefactor to get us out of here.

But on that note, there is something else I wanted I wanted to discuss with you today.

[forgottenfounder]

I hope we can escape at all. [If Walt can come through for them, then... better then dying.]

You do? ...What is it?

[keyofimagination]

Five people died last week, Oswald. Five people. That's more people that I thought would die in one week and I fear this might not be the only time this happens.

I've come to realize that I need to be more proactive in getting you guys out of here. This Tuesday I'm going announce that I want to help the remaining guests out of here.

[forgottenfounder]

[...Oswald is almost speechless.]

You're really going to do that? Just tell everyone?

[His surprise quickly sours though.]

I'm not sure if anyone will believe you.

[keyofimagination]

[He deflates.]

I know. I really should have told everyone earlier, and I fear that everyone will just think it's a trap now. Even Sally doesn't trust me anymore.

But it's either that or lie complacent with all of this until we all die.

[forgottenfounder]

[Oswald looks silently back at his door.]

What if I say something too? They like me.

[At least, most of them do.]

[keyofimagination]

[Rod seems genuinely shocked at that suggestion.]

You really trust me that much?

...I don't want you to put you at risk of any harm.

[Because lbr this cast is a tiny bit volatile.]

[forgottenfounder]

[He simply shrugs.] I want to make sure everyone can get out of here too. That means I want to help. Even if it might be dangerous.

[He's thinking more about whoever's behind this, but yknow his friends are kind of dangerous too. he won't lie.]

[keyofimagination]

[He smiles a little.]

I repeat, I'm glad I picked you to work for me. I promise I'll do my hardest to get you out of here and back to your wife and kids.

[forgottenfounder]

[Well that gets him to smile a bit.]

Let's just make sure we can get the others out of here too, alright?

[And... he raises his hand.]

Shake on it?

[keyofimagination]

[He shakes Oswald's hand.]

You have a deal, Oswald.
