The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[xinoehp512 he/him]

A nameless consultant asked for Moni.

[AonEne he/him]

Moni protested. It was so busy already. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"I insist," declared the consultant.

[NameIess]

Moni grumbled unhappily, but walked up to the consultant.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Come with me," the consultant instructed, walking into the castle behind him.

[NameIess]

Moni looked at the castle and did a double take. Where had that come from?

[Szeth's Facepalm]

It was Facepalms, who was ruler of all consultants. It was adorned with murals of the Greatest Facepalm, and also great consultants throughout history. It also had a chocolate-covered-peanut-butter-pretzal-that-tastes-like-strawberries machine.

[NameIess]

Debatably.

[AonEne he/him]

Narrator Ene snuck up and stole the machine. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Nobody cared. Everything was being cleaned up anyways.

The nameless consultant ensured that Moni was following.

 

[AonEne he/him]

Ene launched the machine into space and cackled. 

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone screamed at this. Stealing a chocolate-covered-peanut-butter-pretzel-that-tastes-like-strawberries machine was one thing, but throwing one into space was just too far. 

[AonEne he/him]

Ene, it seemed, had gone mad! 

[Szeth's Facepalm]

Facepalm sobbed. That machine had been their only source of joy in life. "Curse you, ene!" They cried. "May you never taste chocolate-covered-peanut-butter-pretzel-that-tastes-like-strawberries again!"

Moni and the nameless consultant decided to name the nameless consultant Chocopeabutprethataslistrawberry, in memory of the lost pretzels. Choco for short.

[NameIess]

Moni was rather annoyed that narrators insisted on narrating her all the time, but continued following the nameless consultant.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The nameless consultant wound down stairs and up stairs and down stairs again.

The air grew dank.

[NameIess]

Moni glanced around apprehensively.

[AonEne he/him]

The dank air glanced around equally apprehensively. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The walls whispered mockingly.

Behind them, the stairs closed up.

[NameIess]

"Uh, consultant person? Are those stairs supposed to do that?"

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

Meanwhile, Hoid

[NameIess]

Was bored.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The nameless consultant did not respond.

[AonEne he/him]

So Hoid started up a new business: 

[NameIess]

Moni started rethinking her life decisions.
