let's sync up!

[Jeremy hasn't actually been around a lot, but he has been having a lot of long conversations with the SQUIP because they, unfortunately, are in possession of a bunch of information and a weirdly unique situation that means they kind of understand some things about this whole being dead thing.

So late Tuesday afternoon, the SQUIP will be wandering around and informing everyone that they should all convene in the dining hall. Unlike a lot of other meetings, Jeremy's a garbage teenage boy who's provided uh. There's some grilled cheese and Minion mugs full of water. You're welcome.

Oh, he's also laid out a whole Pepe wall's worth of notes and shit on the table. You might wanna ask about that first.]

Um, hey. So, uh. Well, I mean - have you, uh. That's the SQUIP and it's gonna be quiet [Jeremy glares at the SQUIP.] but uh. I just. We thought. Have you ever really thought about being dead?

[Oh god, he's gonna ruin his own meeting, isn't he?]

...A Narrator?

[ Wait- ]

Like. Like how he's been talking, like this is some kind of show?

[beejfq]

Exactly! See, Narrators are...special. You guys see in three dimensions? We see in, like, eight. It's not omniscience but there's a lot of Knowing and magic and shit involved.

[isawallflower]

You're talking like you're a Narrator.

[beejfq]

[He grins, opening his arms wide.]

You got it, kid.

[isawallflower]

[ Mouth opens.

Mouth closes.

Mouth opens again- ]

Then- then why haven't you gotten us out of here yet?!

[beejfq]

Yeeeeeah, see the thing with that is...I can't. If I could, do you really think I'd of let myself get stuck here for 4 years? No! Maybe like 6 to seven weeks tops, after that it just gets excessive.

We're like Highlanders but with less beheading. There Can Be Only One and all that crap. If there's already a Narrator taking up space in a show, any others around can only do so much.

Including dead people jail breaks.

[ Riley slumps for a moment, but- ]

Then... All we have to do is...get rid of the other Narrator...and you can fix all this, right?

[beejfq]

I mean...I can try? No one's, uh, no one's ever asked me to fix something before.

[To stop causing problems on purpose? Constantly! To actively fix something as huge as this? Uhhhh...]

The problem there is getting the living to summon me again.

[isawallflower]

Not a problem! I figured out- if we use the recording studio, we can talk to them. Like...I don't know how much they heard? But- if I tell Mephisto to, he'll definitely listen to me.

[ Well at least she knows she has him wrapped around her little finger. ]
