‘Not falling for it but I’ll play along. In return I get to go back to work with Casey. Deal?
Brief life history. I was born in this nameless desert town on the border edge of an ancient Empire.
We had nobles but they were pretty far away. Some crazy Emperor obessed with immortality for his kids.
Rock Deities. Hear of them? Crazy idea using statues and souls but nobility right?
I was an orphan. Abandoned and starving to death on the burning hot streets.
This strange looking lady walks by holding a bowl of soup noodles. I stole and ate it before I threw up.
She caught me and beat me up before giving me a choice.
Give me a second. This stuff is hard to remember.
…We not done? Hey Founder, yeah, you. Why aren’t we done? I want to see my brother again. Give me back Casey….
….Great…stupid Tourists. Hmm…..I got it. The first time I was sent out on a mission as a Tourism Operative I was mortal and sent to this insane planet with two immortals locked in an eternal war.
Villages and towns would be burnt to the ground and the souls harvested and then recreated into a freshly created population which would be mutated into monsters, brainwashed as soldiers or…you get the idea.
I literally spent the first week dying over and over again. Then I ran to the mountains and found this little isolated village with friendly people. This old ex-soldier and his family welcomed me as a complete stranger. Nice people.
When I formally became a Tourism Operative I nudged reality a little and sent a gift their way. They had this daughter who was a genuinely nice person who deserved better.
I mean The Founder wants entertainment right? He wants these realities and versions of Belphus to have conflict and characters. I figure drop a variable on a low-tech fantasy planet and watch the fun.
No way I’d recruit her as a Tourism Operative. My mentor had a bad day and chose me, doesn’t mean I hate this job but…sometimes it gets too much.
I’m just lucky I have Casey and met Kamyrn. You seen her around? She’s meant to be on break from her job on crazy cave bone isle.
Thanks for nothing Founder.
[Horus. Don’t push it. You were warned.]
