It's been... A very long time since I've spoken with an Oracle. Even longer since I've spoken to Jheselbraum.

I… don’t like to talk about what happened in those forty initial years spent in The Nightmare Realm. I did… horrible things to survive in that place.

Eventually, my dealings culminated in gaining the ability to return to my home dimension.

And I did so, fists awash in teal flames and ready to burn my former home to the ground. But the moment before I made my presence known, something caught my eye as I hovered above Flatland.

My brother, Shermie, the one who raised me and took care of me for years, the one who wasn’t the best parent but at least tried to be better than our mother and father… He’d had a son of his own when I turned sixteen, and, when I went to live with my parents, he and his wife fled to the northern states where the laws were more lax.

Shermie’s son had married and together they had, for twelve years, raised two wonderfully irregular children.

I’d never seen another irregular before.

As I looked at them, the boy all concave angles and looking nothing at all like proper octagons and the girl having been assigned a different gender at birth… I couldn’t muster up the same contempt for them that I held for myself. However, their country had been invaded and their irregularity exposed to the same government that wanted me dead.

Instead of destroying Flatland, I tried to save them.

I was caught by Time Agents and arrested before I could.

For every “⏳” I receive, my muse will openly talk about a bit of their backstory.

⏳

After Jheselbraum saved me, before we left the dimension soon to be named the nightmare realm, we were intercepted by some Time Agents sent from the future with the task of destroying me. I thought certainly I was done for, but... she jumped to my defense, hiding me in a passing asteroid and preparing to fight them unarmed. When they said they were authorized to use lethal force against her if need be... I had to stop it.

My first deal wound up being to stay put in the nightmare realm, lasting until an agreement between Jheselbraum and the time agents could be reached, after which I would abide by the terms of said agreement. In exchange, no Time Agent could ever harm Jheselbraum.

The last words she spoke to me for over forty years were “Don’t worry, you will be released one day”

For every “⏳” I receive, my muse will openly talk about a bit of their backstory.

⏳

When... I was younger, only a teenager, I was discovered by the Flatland Police. I had been so careful... 

Something I did must have caught Jheselbraum’s attention, because the next thing I knew, I was in her arms, staring up at a creature who was so foreign to my vision that she appeared to change shape!

It was... a while before I got the hang of moving in a three dimensional space.

Also: in modern times the term good boy is used as a compliment in regards to people, companions or anything really. It's normally used to say that the subject of the description is a good person/pure and or worthy of affection

! Oh! I should write this down and--

Oh

[named-for-penrose]

Your physical form looks adorable! I bet he'd get all the ladies to talk science with him. Speaking of ladies in science, did you ever Marie Curie?

Did I ever meet Marie Curie? I technically did, but only in dreams. She never summoned or made a deal with me.

The only lady I’ve really built up a relationship with is Jheselbraum--

Oh wait you mean in a romantic capacity? There’s actually... I’m actually not interested in anyone right now.

[named-for-penrose]

So how are things going right now? Do you have your physical form yet?

I do! It looks like this:

I like it much better than my old form!

[named-for-penrose]

If you look to the mirror you'd find anther very good boy

I--

I guess I’m not human enough for that to make sense?

[named-for-penrose]

Anyone that you'd call a good boy?

My great-nephew Dipper is a good kid, but I thought “good boy” was a phrase used to refer exclusively to animals? Has the meaning changed in the last couple of decades?

so, anything interesting going on? Any science?

Oh! I’ve been helping out here and there around town, just because I’m an all-powerful dream demon doesn’t mean I don’t love science! Even I can’t be everywhere at once, so I'm more than happy to impart my knowledge to the townsfolk.

When I first came to this dimension, it seems all I did was invent things to help Stan around the house, I was so preoccupied with figuring out the physics of this world.

Really wishing I hadn’t brought up or talked about the other Fords.

What’s that human phrase? I can feel my sins crawling on my back?

[named-for-penrose]

I don't know why I still feel this way, its been almost one trillion years at this point, entire worlds have been born and have died in that time. I've still made mistakes, but I'm not who I was back then.

But I know I can never truly attone until I find Bill Cipher and destroy him.

What without happen if you put a soul in a body? Have you tried? What about a new body? Would it be a dual possession of the body?

It would have to be a body that never had a soul, which an adult human body that also is from Modoc tribe that's never had a soul is. Rare. And... I don't know what he'd do if I brought him back now. It's been over one thousand years.If he knew of the things I've done in that time... The mistakes I made...The best I can do for now is to keep his soul comfortable.

[named-for-penrose]

Was Stan the first real friend you made?

I--

I don’t know.

He’s my best friend, certainly. But there are others.

Modoc, for one. But he’s... he’s dead? Ish? I have his soul, so he’s not like. Gone. But I don’t know what to do with it. So he’s not alive either.

There’s Jheselbraum, but we haven’t spoken for eons, she might be dead by now.

There’s Fiddleford, but I’ve kept the darker parts of my past a secret from him. Statistically speaking, I should be avoiding him for his own safety.

But Stan’s always been there. He’s the one I confide in. He’s the one who confides in me.

I suppose I would say he’s my first real friend in that he’s the one who knows the most about me and hasn’t left.

[named-for-penrose]

have you ever met another Ford throughout the universe?

Once or twice. 

Usually they’re pointing a death ray at me...
