Pararober Day 11: Post-Parable AU /Two Doors

One of my post Parable stuff is Fernator's Apocalypse AU. In it, Fernator wants to lick Stanley out of the Outside World (aka the real world in this AU) due to being anxious from how big it is. Stanley gets help from 432 (who keeps an eye on them as the boys are a glitch in universe).

It is a tradition that I put all my favorite characters in a "animal crossing makes them angry somehow" position, and I thought, post-parable Narry would be perfect

I feel like the Narrator got his "hellhound" Loula a spiked collar and taught her how to growl at people.

He just pets her after and gives her a treat as they run off and she's like x3.

Happy 2025 TK Tournamenting everyone (and thanks @cosmokrill for creating and hosting this)!

And don't mind that last part in the image, haha, he's just kidding! Weeell, I mean, Owen is his Settings buddy from a neighboring TSP universe, so it can't hurt to throw some votes their way when it's their turn, right? Riiight! Cough, cough.

Usually the darker side of the Parable remains hidden, but maybe it can help to understand the one or other behavior in here a little better if you catch a glimpse. So this post will contain all of those.

First off, the Narrator. I know-- HE knows you won't care all that much if terrible things happen to him. Maybe you even believe he deserves it all. On top, his personal nightmares are far more on the abstract side. A human might be able to vaguely relate, but maybe there is no way at all to truly ever see the full picture of this entity.

Not to mention, you know how self-protective the Parable can get.

Now - under the cut - employee 432's worst moments, in his own Pre-Parable timeline, are far more on the tangible side. Yes, he gets moody, strange, highstrung or rebellious near all of the time.

But there is times where he is simply at his wits' end. There is not a single type of breakdown he hasn't experienced, over and over, and those are the moments where management will step in directly.

He will be put on timeouts, subdued, maybe even get his feelings or memories erased if the experiment is endangered, but he has long reached a point where this isn't as effective as they may think it is.
