Watchmaking is a lost art, man. Folk don't appreciate what goes into a good time piece.
'''WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?''' This is the source of your Insomnia. This is what landed you in the Mad City.
 
  
'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' This is the scene right before the start of the game. This is your first solid brush with Nightmares.
+
'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' A bellyful of anxiety and paradox. Every time I change the timeline there is potential for paradox, and while one might be careful not to mess with big things, some little things that create real change might surprise you. Every time I trip a paradox, the universe reorders itself to keep the paradox from happening. Everything changes.  
  
'''WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE?''' When people look at you, what do they see? This is the mask you show the world.

Everything except me. I stay the same. I am the vessel the universe traps paradox inside, and it's boiling me alive, man.
  
'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' When people look at you, what DON'T they see? This is what lives under the mask.
+
'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' Ever heard of a death spiral, man? That's my path. And when I'm gone, where will the universe keep its precious paradoxes then? I hope they all spill out at once, man. I hope they eat the fucking world.
  
'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' Where are you headed? What do you want? What do you need? What will you do to get it?
+
'''WHAT CRIME WILL YOU BE ACCUSED OF COMMITTING?''' According to that paper, I'm going to sell portable strobe lamps to the ''Little Sisters of Labyrinth Lane''. Who among the Awake would ever ''do'' that, man? Hell, who among ''Nightmares''? Those teddy bear dragging, knife wielding little shits would take over the Mad City altogether with tools like that.

T is for Time Goblin

No one is Faster
Tangling Reality
Paradox's Bastard

MY NAME IS . . . Ben Fletcher

AND I AM . . . a Watchmaker


WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE? Someone left this freaky newspaper at my door, man, and there's my picture, full color, above the fold. I'm in handcuffs, man, screaming, and the headline said that I . . .

I would never do that, man. I just wouldn't

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU? I fucked it up, man. I just wanted to go back and see one of their early concerts, but I did something wrong, and it changed everything. Now, I'm the only one who remembers that Fleetwood Tull was ever a band, let alone the defining group to come out of the Age of Aquarius, man.

Their entire music catalogue haunts my dreams. Now that's the only place I can even hear it.

Even my collection of vintage Fleetwood Tull t-shirts winked out of existance.

WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE? I'm just a 60's kid in a gen-Z body, a watchmaker with like two clients who dresses the part in white button up shirts, sleeves hastily if perpetually rolled, and an everpresent tailored vest, the one with lots of little pockets on the inside. All I'm missing is the head mounted magnifier lens selector.

Watchmaking is a lost art, man. Folk don't appreciate what goes into a good time piece.

WHAT LIES BENEATH? A bellyful of anxiety and paradox. Every time I change the timeline there is potential for paradox, and while one might be careful not to mess with big things, some little things that create real change might surprise you. Every time I trip a paradox, the universe reorders itself to keep the paradox from happening. Everything changes.

Everything except me. I stay the same. I am the vessel the universe traps paradox inside, and it's boiling me alive, man.

WHAT IS YOUR PATH? Ever heard of a death spiral, man? That's my path. And when I'm gone, where will the universe keep its precious paradoxes then? I hope they all spill out at once, man. I hope they eat the fucking world.

WHAT CRIME WILL YOU BE ACCUSED OF COMMITTING? According to that paper, I'm going to sell portable strobe lamps to the Little Sisters of Labyrinth Lane. Who among the Awake would ever do that, man? Hell, who among Nightmares? Those teddy bear dragging, knife wielding little shits would take over the Mad City altogether with tools like that.
