maybe!

what about the yarn? do you think that you knit stuff?

1/2

[afflictionmods]

I think

2/2

[afflictionmods]

[There's another significant pause - slightly shorter than the last one, but still noticeable.]

that I might have, when I could.

[escardos]

did it happen again?

the animals have the letter L on them. also there was a housekey in a cup, with a bird figure. mr julius has the key now.

[afflictionmods]

It did. My apologies. These questions are more than I was expecting, I'm sorry.

What is the key for?

[escardos]

idk! looked like a house key.

are you tired? does talking wear you out?

[afflictionmods]

Aren't you in a house right now?

I'm not tired, it's simply that these questions are confusion? Disorienting? I don't know the right word but there is something about it that makes me feel strange.

[escardos]

we woke up in a bed, though. someone moved us while we were sleeping = v =)

but i get it! it’s like how, in movies, amnesiacs get headaches when they try to remember stuff! do you think it’s like that?

[afflictionmods]

That seems very invasive.

I don't know? Maybe? You know more about amnesia than I do, but it's like

It's like there's something cracking the more I think, and the more I think the more it feels like I'm about to understand who I am or what I am. I do not know if this is a good or bad thing, though, or if that's even what is happening.

[escardos]

it is! but this is also a weird experiment that none of us signed up for so i think invasive is part of miss lorelei’s plan :P

anyways, i know the feeling! understanding yourself is scary, especially when things are confusing and weird. i was kind of like you! except not a ghost and not amnesiac.

[afflictionmods]

So this feeling is normal? Even if it's scary?

How long will this feeling last?

[escardos]

“all people live with the feeling that something about them is out of sync with the world. there’s no such thing as a clock that keeps perfect time without ever being off for an instant. there are only people trying to make their clocks match.”

that’s what a really really good friend of mine said. you might not ever fully know yourself, but you’ll learn more and more over time, if that’s what you want. i’ll cheer you on and break the walls if i have to \( ^o^)/

[afflictionmods]

Matching clocks? Have you found anyone with a clock that matches yours, Flat? When you found them



What was it like? Did it make you happy?

[escardos]

i haven’t found anyone like that. there’s a lot about me that’s totally out of sync w/ normal people.

but i’m not unhappy. it used to be hard! but then there were people that accepted me despite being so different. even if our clocks won’t ever match, that’s part of the fun of it. it’s fun to see how each clock ticks. ^_^)

[afflictionmods]

I am glad you're happy. I want to be happy too, I think.

It can't be a bad thing to be happy, right? Even if I'm different it wouldn't be bad if I was happy with who I am, so it's okay?

[escardos]

that’s right! even if you’re not a human or even if you’re totally evil, if you’re happy with yourself then that’s what matters the most!

maybe our mission here is to help you figure yourself out? what do you think?

[afflictionmods]

I don't want to be evil. I want to help people.

Maybe? But I think I would rather help you find a way out? It's fine if I'm stuck here.

[escardos]

that’s fine! you don’t have to be good or evil if you don’t want to and no one should force you. if you want to help people, then you can do that too.

and we’ll try to get you out as well! i at least want to find where you are!

[afflictionmods]

Okay. Okay, I will do that, then.

I wonder where I am. I wish I knew more, but I feel like I have to be there. Or at least a part of me, maybe?

[escardos]

there probably is!

is there anything in this house that you think belongs to you? oh, maybe we could play bloody mary. but instead of bloody mary, you show up in the mirror! ò v ó)9

[afflictionmods]

If I'm in the house or a part of the house, wouldn't everything belong to me? Technically?

[escardos]

well yeah but i can’t write on the wall

or can i???? • O •)

[afflictionmods]

Well, you can try? Maybe I'll be able to see it?

[escardos]

ok!

[ and on the wall he’s going to write ]

Hello, world!

[afflictionmods]

[And writing appears on the wall!]

Hello, Flat. I think this is better?
