ah, my darling little archivist, you ask such plain questions... understandable, but nonetheless, plain. worse yet, difficult to respond too without drawing back the veil far too much for my liking.
ill give you some breadcrumbs, though I think you'll find better answers with more exiting queries.
First question, though I do not expect a direct answer - what are you? How would you describe yourself?
you are right in your assumption that I am not a plain creature. I will tell you that you do not know my true form. not yet. if I have lived in your source world, I doubt I am the same here as I was there and I do not remember having met you before. well, at least not without a mask.
Second question- what are you trying to achieve? You imply larger plans and twisting schemes, but to what end?
my full scheme and the affects it may have on your community will remain hidden as of now. however, I can say that in all honesty I am looking for entertainment. being something such as myself, it gets boring, archivist. very, horribly boring...
and when I woke up, I was oh so hungry. or, hangry? is that a word you use these days? ah, nonetheless I was practically starving for entertainment. and then I found you! you, my beautiful little vermin, who share my lust for entropy, have already been feeding yourselves. and it smells wonderful.
so naturally, i indulge myself in this delectable four course meal I am presented.
why you, and not the billions of other equally chaotic cesspits? luck. bad or good, but at the end of the day it was just a matter of chance.
What is your relationship to The Muppet Joker? You were drawn to him - he seems to know you, at least on a spiritual level, even if he does not know how. You spark a great fear in him - why is this?
this will have to remain undisclosed, as of now. id hate to ruin the fun. that being said, muppet joker, i am hiding just beyond your consciousness. search within yourself, and you may find a lifeboat to cling to in this sea of uncertainty.
for better or for much, much worse, I like you. and id hate to watch you drown so soon...
as for who's skin I'm wearing, once again, that will be remaining undisclosed. but keep theorising, its very entertaining.
speaking of which, any theories? have you caught on yet? suspects?
on a final note, I am very open to any questions you, or any other vermin might have. sorry to hijack your account like this, but we all need a host sometimes, don't we? and I have a feeling you don't mind so long as it lets you know more.
if you have questions for me, I will answer them in my own special way. send them in to this lovely fellows statement box.
that goes for you too, archivist, keep them coming. and remember what I told you about entertaining questions. do have some cunning.
Do give me some credit, Faceless, I am a professional after all; that was merely my first set of questions for you in an on-going interview. Somewhat of a...litmus test, let's say. A baseline, a foundation - one which accomplished exactly what I had hoped it would.
Each small detail, each miniscule breadcrumb as you say, is a piece of the larger picture...and you have given me quite a lot to work with already. As for my theories...well...as you say, it would spoil the fun of our little game to give away everything too soon.
You wouldn't be the first to utilize the archive as your own personal record, so I do not mind. It is a public service after all, and you are correct...each interaction leads to more knowledge, and the archives are always hungry.
That being said, my assistant @muppet-blackwood did specifically request I send you his way for a chat, so please do not feel as though our relationship is exclusive - I won't be offended.
Now, shall we continue our little tête-à-tête?
Tell me more about your hunger...is this what drives you? Or is satisfying your appetites a secondary need that follows the inevitable consequences of your interference? Has your appetite been sated yet, or is such a thing even possible?
Видели ли вы в последнее время какие-нибудь интересные двери?
Clearly you've developed an interest in myself, and the main subject of my research, the-muppet-joker, but are there any other favorite toys you've collected? What - or more accurately who- are the other pieces you've set on your side of the chess board?
From what materials do you craft your many masks?
In terms of architecture...would you favor a tower or a dungeon? And what lying in wait at the center of your grand palatial maze?
Does rotten meat still taste fresh when one is starving?
I think that will do for now...I'm sure there will be others appearing with their own questions for you soon enough.
The Archive is always open.
