william,,, be honest is ur en abime thing a cult
Some (ahem, @fortunateisle) like to see it as such, but I find that to be false advertisin'!
Hey will! What's your favorite pokemon? :o mine is noivern!!
Takin' a gander...I'm fond of this li'l' fella!
I think Henry would like 'im!

how can i join the abime? i'm tired of it out here
YES! You're on the right track, kid. S'pose the method this time takes a tad longer than the usual, but trust me -- keep tunin' in and you'll be here with no trouble. Remember to write things down! Take photos! Keep track of it all. Conversations. Weather. The texture of your skin. The way the air smells. What it feels like to move a limb. The sounds of your favorite places. The taste of the back of your teeth. Real generous-like, all right? Nothin's useless info. And tune on in. See ya soon!
would you (hypothetically) ever join heaven?
Which Heaven are ya talkin’ ‘bout? If you mean @fortunateisle’s Discord, I haven’t been thereabouts yet. It’s a bit of a trip and I figured I’d stand my ground here!
Do you have a favorite constellation? :) Mine’s Orion’s Belt and the Big Dipper because they’re the easiest to find haha
I like the stars Vega and Altair!
Hey Will, pleasure to make your acquaintance (thanks for following me as well). What do you think of the night sky? Do you remember anything about it or when was the last time you saw it? And do you like stars?
Nice to make your acquaintance! The night sky kept me company for a while, 'round when I first began talkin' to Henry. Had a good view of it! The sky during the day too, of course, but I liked the nighttime a bit better. I remember seein' stars. I like 'em lots! Somethin' comfortin' 'bout the way they twinkle. Wonder which'll go first, them or me!
talking about thomas, do you think it’s be possible for him (or any of the others) to, um, put themselves together (not sure how else to phrase it…)?
Ain't ever tried it before, but I assume if he's been scraped all over the place, he's like a big puzzle, ain't he? Maybe so!
I heard that you've been compared to a sad black cat. So, is this you?
EXACTLY! Wow! The likeness is unmistakable! Thank you kindly! Wonderful!
Hey Will, do you like to read? Do you remember reading anything?
Don't remember readin' much in life, but in our early days Thomas put me onto some stuff! Started with the Symbolists, as is to his likin', though I prefer what those Dada folks were up to! It's easy to get around to readings now -- those free "PDF" sites folks like Mal and Thomas live on have tons of goodies.
Heya! Have you ever heard of the song "What Are They Doing in Heaven?"? I hear it was popular in your time :)
Lovely tune -- thanks for sharin'! If you're tryin' to insinuate some kinda question to me -- well, what they're doin' in heaven is what we're doin' now! Talking, mostly. Faces and lights!
🪼I feel compelled to ask: does this lyric happen to mean anything? It seems somewhat dark for the otherwise lighthearted song.
Well, they don't call it the Wild West for nothin'! Hadta do all kinds of things out there to survive.
I've visited a few juice joints in my time!
william being eighteen is crazy to me he shouldve been at the club
Are there any angel numbers you have seen recently/in the past?? (Ex: 444)
Huh! Don't think I've seen any of note. S'pose the airwaves Henry and I used to use, somewhere in the thirties, if that counts for anything!
I hope you find who you are looking for :) I did find this drawing of a person, I decided to draw them for you :)
(So many of their notes are incredibly relatable-)
Thank you kindly! This drawing is swell — you have a real talent, pal! That kid looks real familiar — from the illustrations on one of Mal’s magazines, ain’t it?
Did those cats perhaps look (or were described to look) like these?
Close! According to her description, it was a bit more like this:
kitty cat
Boy, he's a literal fistful! I've always wanted to meet a kitten. I bet we'd hit it off!
Mal says I looked like one of these things when Henry first left. Don't know what she meant by that!
Hi Will! I remember you telling us about Tati’s boyfriend pulling out all the stops for her a while ago - what happened? What did he do?
Boy, the guy was a real cake-eater! Made his rounds on the "social medias" talking to dames. Made some kinda real connection -- and haha, virtual connection -- with Tati, and arranged for her to come on in! Built up months and months of personal details, "Snap Chats," "Discords," "Face Times" -- I mean, Tati was no stranger to "Internet friends," but this fella helped her really build up a portfolio. And, well, the rest is history. Tati got all dolled up to join us here, only for the fella to double-cross her! Don't know how someone could fall for a guy like that; obviously not worth anyone's time of day, haha! Though I s'pose he's got a few more tricks up his sleeve just from being around less, I think!
What would you say to Henry if you could see him again right now?
Oh, uh --
Hi! Boy, I've missed you. Happy to see you're doin' well. Look, I understand if you want your privacy, and I'm happy to give it to ya, but I'd like to give you my goodbye, at least. If I get the heads up that you're goin', I can remember to, uh, save some kinda memory of your smile.
Though for what it's worth, I'd really like it if you hung around. Can't really find myself thinkin' about anything else these days. I find myself thinkin', real philosophizin', yeah, the rest of it ain't really worth anything. Even if you're looking to do some amelioratin' of your life, and you're after that kinda self-improvement, you gotta remember the bits of this place that make life worth livin' and keep those around. Things that I take for granted. Like seein' your handsome face 'round here!
-- Something along those lines, I s'pose. I clam up 'round him sometimes.
yeah, I guess they’re not hiding from YOU - just from the consequences of what you did
Well, all right, I'll give ya that!
heya, william. i just wanted to say, i hope you get to see henry again, and make more music together. being 100% serious when i say that listening to you sing together really puts a smile on my face. anyway, have a good one!
Thank you, Will! I hope so as well. Glad our tunes brighten your day! Have a good one!
dont act dumb, william. we all see through your facade. helping your friends doesn’t make them despise you, hide from you. all you did was help drag them into hell
Ey, get a load of this guy! Bold of you -- and flattering, honest -- to assume they're hidin' from me!
Forgot to introduce myself. You can call me m. Have you done anything interesting today, William?
Nice to make your acquaintance, m! And no, I've done nothin' of note today. Rearrangin' old notes and the like. Tryin' to find if I've got any photos of Henry I can hold on to. (No luck so far!)
Does it upset you that people keep blaming you for bad things?
Ah, I'm used to it, kid. Try livin' with Mal!
Hypothetically, if you found out that someone else put you in the abime, how would you feel about that?
What, like a sorta biographer trailin’ me around all my life? Unsure how someone else could put me in here!
why do u want new friends if u won’t even help the ones u have??? or should I say had. after all no one wants to be friends with a monster
I am helpin’ them! Everything I do is to help all of us!
