⓪⑧ (sort of)

DDD: Party for no discernible reason other than the White Text Guy having said so.

Whether you were invited, came of your own volition, were dragged here by some weirdos in green, or just popped up in the classic "community made you do it" fashion, you are now in THE FELT MANSION. And since Doc Scratch is and will always be an excellent host, you can count on having good food, drinks, and party games aplenty.

There isn't much he can do about the TIME SHENANIGANS, though. But you can steer clear of those if you know how. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid the mansion's collection of A THOUSAND CLOCKS.

(Speaking of time shenanigans, you may also want to refer here for a rough explanation of what those shenanigans might be. But don't worry about it too much, really. You can just say something if you want to run into a Felt NPC and, hopefully, the shenanigans will be immensely fun for all.)

You should also feel free to START ANY NEW THREADS.

Very well, Yuri.

So, what brings you to this gathering?

[Like the answer isn't the same as everyone else's: because they had no choice]

A friend's throwing a party, I figured I'd stop by. Just because he already knows what's going to happen doesn't mean that I'm just going because he said I was.

[That's got her attention]

You consider him a friend?

Why not? He's fun to talk to.

Sure, if you enjoy constant riddles and never receiving a straight answer.

It's not like I mind. Mostly we just argue anyway.

He does seem to inspire an argumentative spirit in most he speaks to.

It's light-hearted arguing though, so it's not like it's anything to get upset over.

For you, perhaps. But then if what I've been told is correct, he does not have access to the entirety of your timeline.

He doesn't? He sure acts like he does.

That doesn't surprise me. But he has indicated that some timelines are obscured by the community.

He probably knows mine. He knew that I could find Angel before I actually found her, anyway, so he at least knows a bit.

All the more reason to be wary, I would think.

Why? It's not like I'm doing what he says. I'm doing my own thing and he's making smug remarks about it.

Perhaps you simply have more tolerance for his brand of smug than most.

That would definitely make me the most patient impatient person in existence if it was true.

I'm not convinced it's entirely about patience on this occasion.

Probably not.

Well, just be careful. He's not someone I would put too much trust in if I were you.

[Spoken like she doesn't automatically distrust everyone she meets at first]

It's not like I'm relying on him for anything. I already know he doesn't give straight answers and will say no if I ask him basically anything. So unless he suddenly turns into a flake or doesn't cooperate when I actually want him to do something then it works.

That you'd expect his cooperation in anything suggests more faith in him than seems sensible.

I wouldn't expect anyone to do something outside of what they're willing to do. Once they agree to that much there's no going back though~

[ There's some kind of... odd threat in her voice. It seems like she's got no problem doing anything she needs to in order to get things done. ]

[It hasn't gone unnoticed]

Well, just be careful.

What, is he gonna kill me? [ Obviously doesn't think this is a problem. ]

I wouldn't know. I am merely offering some friendly advice. Whether you choose to take it or not is not really my concern.
