I always wanted this as an opening-Hi 'HiddenBrainwound' !
-'day nameless one !
-I have a name, you know !
-Well, no I don't know.
-It's Nil Thîkutlek !
-Well okay Nil, don't say me you also got a job ?
-Of course, I do, I'm a Weaver !...Well anyway, I though you were a Janitor.
-Yeah, so... ?
-So, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS BUTCHERY ?!?
-Oh that...well, it's because nobody seems to care either way. In fact, they are some dwarf that are happy to eat some meat for a change.
-O...kay. I didn't come here for that. Rather I have some question to ask.
-Wow, they even gave you a personality.
-Uh what ? Then Nil remembered that the janitor was a complete idiot so he ignored that sentence and asked, Can you tell me where the narra-WAIT IS THAT A CAT YOU'RE HOLDING ?
-Yes, a very cute and tender one with cute and tender meat.
-Ugh, that's sick.
-What, you don't like cat meat ?
-No, I prefer dog meat.
-We have that too, rejoice !
-That doesn't matter. Now tell me, where can I find the narrator ?
-The who ?
-The narrator, the one that tells stories.
-Well I tell stories, too !
-The one you called 'Boss'.
-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! If you wanted to see him why didn't you asked directly ?
-It's because, uh...just tell me where he is already.
-Well sure, no problem. You see that door behind, you ? Well Boss is just on the other side.
-What right, here ?
-Yep.
-I don't need to go searching hint after hint in the more obscures part of the dungeon.
-Nope.
-Well thanks 'HiddenBrainwound'.
-You're welcome ex-nameless one.
-Bye 'HiddenBrainwound'
-Bye ex-nameless one.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the dreaded outside.
Twelve dwarves with no apparent links were forced to endure the burning of the sun with no mean to escape his omnipotent grasp. One of them, Erush Ekzongiral breaked the silence.
-Who could have guessed this was some kind of trap.
-I have guessed it.
-I have...well...me too...
Two dwarves answered almost at the same time. One is a female dwarf, with a very proud attitude named Udib Ustuthidek. The other one is male dwarf, with no sign of confidence whatsoever, whose name is Sodel Giginkûbuk.
-If you have guessed it's a trap why did you came here ?
-Because I...err...you can't understand.
-Well, when they ask you to do something you just have to do it.
-If you say so...And how did you know this was a trap ?
-That's easy. On the back of the main message there's another one. It reads,
It's a trap, don't go.
-XXX With love, your master
A part these two, everydwarf here was utterly stunned. They all wanted to speak in an incoherent manner. Some tension began to rise. Maybe there would be a battle. But it didn't happen. Instead, one of them slipped at the border and fell on the ground below.
-Are you all right Minkot ?
-Yeah, i'm fine. There's some strange machinery down here.
-Really ? What kind ?
-I don't know nothing about that, and I don't really care. It's not like it'll kill me anyway.
From the other side of the door, some noise could be heard. Erush rushed on the doorside, trying to communicate.
-Hey is there somedwarf ?
No response.
-I hear that you make some noise. What are you doing.
Still no response.
-Are you trying to open the door ?
-Augh, I'm too thirsty let's drink.
-He's gone.
Sodel then spoke. Only answered by Erush.
-I believe this dwarf was removing the floor.
-Why would he do that ?
-Probably to make us all fall below.
-He's crazy, we could fall in the moat.
-It's probably the objective.
-What kind of sick dwarf would have his objective ?
-No it's not 'his' objective, he just follows orders.
Some watery noise came from below.
-Minkot, what's happening ?
-I don't know. Somedwarf came, pushed a lever and now the machin is spewing water. There's more and more. Help me please !
-Hold on. We'll find something to do.
-Don't hurry, I enjoy bathes !
-Really ?
-NO ! What do you think I am, an elf ?
-If any of you as an Idea to save him just say it...Nothing?...Nodwarf?...at least don't look out. It's so painful. Minkot, you still here ? Minkot ? MINKOT ? NO ! MINKOT WHY DID YOU LEF-Aww I didn't notice the door was so pretty.
Erush attempted to calm down his new 'Friends' in his own unique idiom...
-At least, things can't go worse.
...And it began raining.
I'm singing in the rain. Just singin-Uhh ? How do I know this song ?Meanwhile, in the safe inside. Nil Thîkutlek has finally found #the narrator#. #The narrator# is processing plants and do not pay much attention at anything besides his work. Nil is too afraid to begin speaking. He make a very quiet and long sigh. He harvest every single little piece of bravery to his lips. He open slowly his mouth. And then everydwarf is stunned by that noise : 'WAIT IS THAT A CAT YOUR HOLDING ?'. But it doesn't matter as Nil manage to say 'I found #narrator#, now you will tell me who you really are'.
The dwarves imprisoned outside hear again the ominous noise of floor being removed. But this time it come with the cheerful laughter of a kid. Nobody seems to care anymore about what will happen.
But Erush Ekzongiral still try to communicate with the child.
-Hey kiddo what your doing is wrong. You will gain nothing from it.
-But I was told to, why is it bad ?
-I told you why, because if you do that we will all fall and maybe die.
The noise stopped for a moment. And then it came back.
-So, are you saying that I alone can kill those awful and useless adult that you are and nothing will stop me ?
-Are you nuts.
-Of course I'm nuts. I probably never play such a fun game in all my life. i child Laughter/i
-Please...stop already.
Meanwhile, Sodel asked Udib if they could be friend and Udib said 'Sure, why not ?'. There are two things that Udib learned joining this community. The first is that being skilled for the milker job is pretty useless. She was lucky enough to be trained as a marksdwarf. This way, in the military, she could still preserve some prestige she were used too. The second is that cat are really cute and adorable. She had loads and loads of cats as pets. Of course, she could never imagine that cat proliferation could cause a game to run slower and that this became a 'secret' plot device. Sodel was still very quiet. But internally he was dancing with joy at the Idea of having a friend. She was not his first friend but he never saw his other friend after they became 'friends for life'. In an attempt to share his joy, he gave a roast that was lying here to Udib. Udib made a difficult smile and ate it, before making a very weird face and asking what that 'thing' was made off. Sodel took the question very seriously and began anylising another roast of the stack. He bite only bit to analyse the ingredients and came with this :
-Yechh, that's so sick. You wanted to make me even angrier, wouldn't you ?
-Uh, wha- no, noway !
-Stop lying. I see in your eyes how evil you really are.
-You're wrong stop saying such absurd...
-Well I'm very generous so maybe if you listen carefully to me, I will, maybe some day, pardon you.
-I'm not evil and I'll do everything you ask, for sure.
'WAIT, IS THAT A CAT YOU'RE HOLDING ?'. This question echoed for a long time before the #narrator# could see whoever interrupt his work. He just decided to carefully ask :
-Do I ever told you some story, back in the meeting room ?
-Sure you did, we were looking for you for some time.
-'We' ? But I see that you are alone.
-Don't worry my friends surely are talking with 'HiddenBrainwound' right now. They will come shortly to end your evil plans.
-What plans are you talking ?
-Don't play fool, you're too suspicious to not be evil, plus you worship od.
-Well maybe I worship od but I have no evil plan that I can remember.
Two other dwarves came from where the janitor was.
-There he is !
-Yes, It's the nameless #narrator#. Speak, say clearly what your evil plan Is and maybe we'll spare your miserable and dark life.
-I'm sorry to disappoint you gentleman, but if I have this kind of plan, I think I already forgot about it.
-You just forgot ? How convenient of you. Too bad we have very good and completely logical reasons to believe that you are evil inside.
-Well...if you state your reasons maybe I can defend myself mor fairly.
-Of course we will do that, we are not evil, not us ! So here I begin. First you're a worshipper of od.
-Well I'm not the only one in this dungeon and surely not in the entire confident blockade.
-Maybe it doesn't prove anything but it sure makes you highly suspicious.
-So all the worshippers of od are up to making an evil plan, I will choose my friends better. Thanks for the advice.
-Don't make fun of us ! THIS IS SERIOUS ! Another reason is that we heard of a murder of a pump operator right when we were talking about you.
-So people who don't even know my name talk about me when another dwarf I probably never heard of talk about an event I didn't even heard myself. Can you explain me better how this makes me guilty of anyting ?
-Well maybe it's just a coincidence, but maybe it's a sign of Logem Doren Dakas.
-I don't know much about your god but I never really believed what others call 'Deus Ex Machina'.
-Believe what you want. And last but not least argument you don't even have a name apart from being #narrator#.
-Yes I have.
-But I never heard it.
-You don't need to hear it for me to have one. Beside I could say the exact same thing about YOU ! What makes you less guilty than me ?
-What ?!?
And then the world crumbled apart, literally.
Narrator name :
Poor janitor, he doesn't get all the 'screen time' he deserve !
