My Stankeeper stuff from Fernator+Jester Parables
(my TK uses they/he)
-TK/The Settings Person/432 has fake memories Pre-Parable (made by Jester) of being an employee and having pre-mind control era. They used to be just a program Fernator created to help him manage the game better.
He and Stanley used to talk a lot during breaks even if TK was always keeping up the time so they wouldn't be late.
- TK's job related to setting up sliders, making UIs. He used to draw them on paper, just to see what would the best balance be even if he could do it on the computer. Stanley said it was very unoptimised way but actually admired the dedication.
- Stanley had a wife (at least in the fake memories) and they were on verge of divorce and TK was there trying to give him tips on how to go around. It wasn't perfect though as he saw relations as formulas that had to fit in some scheme.
He did however know a lot about timing things so based on how things were going, he told Stanley how exactly to do specific things or say them. They used to rehearse talks together in the longue room and some coworkers thought they were practising acting, and so they actually started to play scenes together.
- TK loved to mimic Stanley's manner of walking, he was very observant about the man. Stanley on the other hand liked to keep a document about TK to try to analyse him better and to, in some way, get closer to him too. Social diffusion <3
- Stanley left his wife abruptly, which pissed TK off. He told Stanley that it was not the right time and he fucked everything up which got Stanley to stop talking to him for a while.
MIND CONTROL ERA:
- When the office management changed, there was a new program that slowly people were rilled into. TK didn't trust it but he saw Stanley was into it, as he needed the money for the legal divorce processes. TK decided that even if the friend was angry at him, getting into the project and saving that money to give him some would be good but he was denied at first, as there were too many testers.
- Due to being denied participation early, he started noticing people changing more before he went the program himself, making it not work on him. He was surprised Stanley also seemed not to exactly respond to it but he was in his depressive arc as his own divorce was really getting to him.
-That's why Stanley sort of broke at the start of the project but it wasn't that noticeable to the boss as he did exactly as he was told, trying to burry himself with work. That's why during the pencil experiment, he was actively trying to help TK and it went nearly unnoticeable.
- That's why at the start of the mind control business, Stanley during his breaks would try to find any pencil for TK but he would be never successful and when he was found out on snooping around and giving TK different things that he hoped might help, he became the next employee to be kind controlled.
- TK would during breaks sometimes just walk to and stare at 427 door but he wouldn't be able to get inside. He used the pen that Stanley gave him once to give him notes under the door but they were never read.
- To TK, Stanley is the last folk who tried to help him and got hurt due to that.
That's why in my Parable he cares about Stanley and sees Narrator as personification of what they had to go through.
