Holy crap. Why was the week I was muted the one week everything explodes?

What the heck did I miss, and what do I need to do?

((Host body only declared unrecoverable now?))

Try to figure out what show is on. If it's good, watch. If not, switch to another channel.

Something tells me I'm not needed anymore.

I recognize most of those posters. TWoOtA, obviously, but also a few from your previous games. And whatever that red-bordered one is.

Anyways.

Search the cash register, bookshelves, discarded Chinese food containers, and even the pile of pillows for anything of use or value.

Guys, we also need to make up a life story, so the nice PC doesn't get suspicious.

Shadow's NPC's don't look like the backstory type.

Precisely.

"I come from an honorable family of exposition goblins. I'm a bit of a failure in their eyes though because I need to learn things conventionally instead of instantly knowing the answer to any question asked as soon as I'm asked it."

Add more feels.

How about mentioning that we were exiled for lacking the Gift, and had to turn to thievery for a bit, but now that we've found these adventurers we have a chance to regain our honor?

We should probably put the DL3 Boss Key in storage.

We haven't?

"I'm the watcher of the watch"
This one seems straighforward enough. If we piece togheter our knowledge, it makes sense that the Angels are the watch, so Betweenford is probably the current leader of the Angels.
"I'm the keeper of the keep"
What would "the keep" refer to? It could be the Warrens, or something in the Warrens themselves. Even so, this does not neccesarily mean he is the lord of the Warrens (see: Minas Tirith in LOTR), just that he is keeping an eye on them for somebody else. Newford, maybe?
"I'm the cheat to cheat all cheaters and the eye that sees them sleep"
This one's tricky. It implies that the cheaters are currently sleeping. I think the cheaters here would be the demons that Oric deceived, and that are now sleeping. Slumbering may be a more fitting word. A sleeping dragon, effectively. If this is the case, then it also implies that Betweenford helped bring down/chain the demons.

The first seems reasonable enough. Therefore, there's a decent chance that it's flat wrong.
Seems likelier that he's "keeping" it for the Last Seraphim or something in that vein.
Why is it always slumbering dragons? Anyways, that's...interesting. Maybe the 'Fords are traitors, and keeping the keep for Oric? Of course, that implies that the Seraphim was a cheater, which...doesn't work. The king doesn't need to cheat.

Once upon a time, the Devil herself looked around and said: "Sheeeeeeeeit, if we keep eatin everything, there won't be nothin left! Yo, Devil Jr., find someone smarter 'fore we run out." That someone is the Thief. You may know him as Oric the Awful.

TCM, stop hacking EmeraldWind's account and/or subconscious.

Second, Wilford mentioned the Harian Royal Prison a place we people with extraordinary powers were imprisoned. Al's reaction to this is that this is a wrongful imprisonment and that the normal people of Haria might not take such news well. He considered it enough to help a rebellion. This proposes two questions: Why was the King of Haria imprisoning people with powers? Why was there a possibility of a rebellion?

...
Wilford worked at the SCP Foundation?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to cause a change, he would have said "abberation" or something like that. It sounds like he's trying to get something--or someone--which is aberrant. Perhaps something in the Strange Creatures' Prison?

Yeah, but going to bed with work you want to do is the number one cause of insomnia...

For me, working on things and not noticing that it's almost midnight is the number one cause of insomnia. (For a suitably broad definition of "insomnia," at least.)

Ugh. He needs to stop doing that.

Sorry.

One part of the problem is that, while some arguments cause me to be muted, most don't. This isn't a problem or anything, but the boundary between the two is kinda vague.
(Also annoying is that I've only ever been muted for arguments that I've already put behind me, but that's not something anything can really be done about unless we turn Toady into a cyborg or something.)
