TBD Asks the Observers

Featured relevant characters:

Obvious exit: Github

Origin: We found this in the code, and I find it very fitting for the theme of this text. But I think it also shows up in Eyedlr under some circumstances. I'm not sure when.

The Watcher's note: We actually managed to puppet Todd in the West, but it wasn't revealed yet what the consequences of this are (by the time I'm writing this).

 

TBD: oh 8 divine

TBD: i actually found you

TBD: you're the Observer right

TBD: something something

TBD: being from a higher plane

TBD: incomprehensible to most mortal minds

TBD: its you

TBD: holy shit

TBD: uh

TBD: sorry if

TBD: i hope i haven't offended you

TBD: creators i wasn't prepared for this

TBD: look

TBD: i cant understand you anymore than anyone else can

TBD: i'm not close enough

TBD: so uh

TBD: sorry if you're trying to talk to me

TBD: but

TBD: the IMPORTANT thing is

TBD: find me again

TBD: find me in the place where the lines between layers of reality blur

TBD: i've heard its "to the west" whatever that means

TBD: it won't be enough to just

TBD: direct someone else to find me

TBD: you have to find me yourself

TBD: you have to

TBD: puppet me?

TBD: like you do peewee

TBD: its important

TBD: its

CFO: ohohoh, what do we have HERE?

CFO: if it isn't an intern at three point oh

TBD: uh

TBD: its not what it looks like?

CFO: hmmmm

TBD: please

TBD: don't tell wanda

TBD: it might kill her

CFO: HMMMMMMMMMM

TBD: im SERIOUS

TBD: i'm not sure her heart could take the shock

CFO: look, cinnamon swirl

CFO: cinnamon bun! cinnamon apple

CFO: i love wanda as much as just about anybody else! which to be honest is an average we rigged through quotidians

CFO: stuck with her through the years

CFO: even though, as you very obviously know

CFO: it can be very hard to be her friend!

CFO: especially when she gets stuck on an idea

CFO: like an insistent quest marker you just can't dismiss but can't complete yet either

CFO: had one of those for this mod with religion and wells that i installed...

CFO: not the point!

CFO: The point is, PLEASE understand that i say this with all my friend love...

CFO: so what?

TBD: i

CFO: so what if she dies?

CFO: she'll be right back where she needs to be start of next loop

CFO: same as always

TBD: i don't believe that

TBD: I CAN'T believe that

TBD: i don't care if all of you 'in the loop' keep your memories

TBD: you're different people

TBD: you HAVE to be

TBD: because if you're not

TBD: what does that say about me

TBD: and my half memories

TBD: are you saying that half of each version of myself is just

TBD: destroyed

TBD: each loop

TBD: just because of some fucking dreams

TBD: please

TBD: just

TBD: it would kill her to know I'm sort of... in the loop

TBD: she needs this

TBD: needs ME

TBD: to be this

TBD: to be her 'best bro' from way back

TBD: to be just the same

CFO: are you sure-sure you're not just saying that to feed your own ego?

CFO: your gnosis is practically 1! default values!

CFO: whatever you think you know, it's not important enough to matter

TBD: ...

TBD: sure

TBD: fine

TBD: theres a hell of a lot of things i dont understand here

TBD: but I've Seen past the edge

TBD: I Know things you and Wanda with all your 'gnosis' or whatever the hell

TBD: don't

TBD: can't.

TBD: it's so much bigger than you think

TBD: and at the heart of it all is this

TBD: wanda, the Lord of Space

TBD: the most Important Person in the Universe

TBD: and her ordinary, boring, easily rattled mortal friend.

TBD: she needs to lose me again and again

TBD: because if she doesn't...

TBD: she stagnates

TBD: you've SEEN her

TBD: she practically does NOTHING once she convinces me she's Wanda

CFO: *slow clap*

CFO: spoken like a true Muse of Void

CFO: or absence muse

CFO: whatever

TBD: ...

TBD: what?

CFO: come oooooooon

CFO: haven't you ever wondered?

CFO: what would you be, if you had played?

CFO: look at you all, inspiring with your absence

CFO: so proud of you

CFO: brings a tear to my eye! only got one of those, sorry

CFO: or maaaaaybe...

CFO: you're just caught up in something bigger than you can understand!

CFO: and have decided that you are just SO important that nothing can be accomplished unless you're lying to your BEST FRIEND

TBD: fine

TBD: fine

TBD: but please

TBD: let me wait until next loop?

TBD: at least let me...

TBD: at least let her not be almost 70

TBD: at least she won't literally have a heart attack

CFO: ...

CFO: fiiiiiine

CFO: but make it count

TBD: thank you.
