So my good pal @scorching-sun-shelters-snake has just listened to the first season of Midst, and we both agree that the best part about Midst's narration is that the Third Person won't simply tell you that a character walks into the room.
No, that character foots gingerly across the threshold of the room, placing the first tentative step onto the fine wooden floorboards of the establishment. [Narrator 2] And it is a fine establishment indeed, if we do say so ourselves. It has this sort of a classy, refined look to it, with the draperies embroidered with fantastical designs, with a tasteful, dark wallpaper that has an equally elaborate, delicate pattern etched into it, with what looks like tiny... Sequins? Peppered in here and there, which reflect the dim light making its way in through the half-drawn curtains, it's- it's really lavish. [Narrator 1] Whoever designed it must have had incredibly good taste. [Narrator 3] Oh, yes, and in fact, off of these very fine walls of this very, very fine establishment, there reverberates a sound- a creak, of the fine, dark wooden floorboard that our character has currently found himself stepping onto. [Narrator 2] You'd think that in an establishment as fine as this, the floorboards wouldn't creak, what with the impeccable state this establishment seems to be kept in- [Narrator 3] And, you'd actually be somewhat correct, because this, this was done on purpose. The architect of this place- [Narrator 1] a guy called Mark, really swell guy - [Narrator 2] Has some VERY nice children!- [Narrator 3] -HE has been specifically asked, to install this one floorboard that would creak when you walk in. [Narrator 2] To sort of, suss out who's the regular and who's not, you know, as they walk in. Clever, isn't it? [Narrator 3] A little bit... Weird, maybe, but Mark wasn’t paid to question the commissioner's choices, he was there to do his job and god damn it did he do it well. [Narrator 2] Yeah, what a swell guy! [Narrator 1] Our character, of course, doesn’t know any of this. We know this. [Narrator 3] You know this. [Narrator 2] Because we've just told you. [Narrator 1] But, because he doesn't know this, his entire elaborate scheme, his entire highly classified stealth mission- [Narrator 3] Goes to shit in this very instant. [Cue funky music]
