eyes emoji can you tell us something about 144?

FELIX (I GRIP YOU BY THE SHOULDERS AND SHAKE YOU SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU SH)

DO NOT GET ME STARTED I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABT THEM

EVERYTHING

OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT IM DUMPING HOLD ON

TW FOR UH. DEATH. AND BABIES. AND POSSIBLE CULT ACTIVITIES ITS NOT REALLY A CULT BUT THERES A LINE BEING TREAD HERE.

so.

actually everything is split into three categories. imagine it's all a string board bc that's how my thoughts are composed. yayye :)

so section one!! 144 themself :) consistently through every timeline, employee 144 is a 19-20 y/o. they use she/they pronouns and are in charge of constructing the powerpoints displayed in the meeting room. though actually given that windows movie maker is canon to the tsp universe i think she should get to use that too yk what i mean??

at least one side of her head is shaved, but she keeps her hair long, long enough to cover up that bit if her boss ever makes her

which he does frequently because apparently its not "professional" but like boo to that

also despite her name/title, she's very rarely actually...employed?? in the company??? you'll get me in a sec

in the og tsp universe as in The Game (which you just lost hah) i don't think she'd ever really appear?? like i think everything you'd learn about her would be through the powerpoints she left behind

one bc that's very underrated as a tsp character trope two because i want there to be a bit where the narrator just says something and the powerpoint flips to a slide that's like 'hey shut up' and the narrators like don't be silly stanley that can't be about me but the slides just keep getting more and more specific to stanley's situation I THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY ALRIGHT

but also the last slide is just def like cut off midword at some point and you never find out what happened to her after that :)

she probably has a name in that universe but i don't think you'd ever find it out i think all you'd get is like a tagline about 'slides made by employee 144' on the title card and that's it

you also wouldn't get to know this but like i like to think she's like an intern at this point in time like she's not really getting paid for this but also it might look bad to get rid of her so they're just stuck with her ass

her boss: (head in his hands) why don't you just go uh. make some powerpoints. yeah that'll be very helpful thank you.

but in like her main verse

oh BOY her main verse where do i start

in that universe, essentially the stanley parable never happened?? the office is a Much bigger scarier corporation there that was much more involved in people's lives than just employing them

like that office contains hospitals and dorms and nurseries and laboratories and Everything

so because they have so much diction over peoples lives they have diction over their names which is why 144 is literally just named employee 144 in that universe

first name employee last name onefourfour

no that's a lie their names just 144 employee is like a title that doesn't actually quite dignify whether or not one is- well- employed

it's all very complicated

essentially employee just means you're a member of the corporation as a whole which of course a lot of the current generation (144 included) have been from birth

not that they're wandering around calling lil babies "employee" though. i think it's like 'ma'am' or 'sir' as a title like its just a mark of respect or adulthood

okay i'm getting off track here what was my point???

oh yeah the point is this means employee 427 exists BUTTT because he's not named stanley then well

there is no story about a man named stanley to be told so the stanley parable never really happens

so the office just keeps expanding and expanding and expanding and nothing disrupts it and nobody vanishes

actually nobody even so much as dies espilecially of old age :)

that just doesn't happen. its a very normal and sane thing and there's nothing behind that at all :)

so at this point in tjme 144 is beginning to bridge the gap between being taken care of as a child and put into actual Employment

she's old enough that she's being given certain jobs and work and stuff (hence the fact in this universe she's ALSO in charge of microsoft powerpoint presentations that important staple for every creepy organisation) but she's prone to acting out enough that they're hesitant to actually Give Her Important Work To Do

honestly she should be in a lot more trouble than she is but the big boss of the place (a man named zero) is willing to be lenient about a lot when it comes to her behaviour

it's not like any kind of hardcore acting out i mean

i don't even know if the whole mind control element works in the same way in this world but i feeeeel like even without it things would continue as they are doing right now

because i mean atp a lot of people there are at least third generation they've lived there they've grown up there it's their home

even if whatever residual or active mind control there was got removed i don't think they'd really notice or change their ways

so 144 isn't doing what she does in terms of fucking shit up because she's immune or knows the truth or anything she's just. yk how it be sometimes. sometimes you have to put penises in important work presentations. because why not.

i haven't quite formulated everything about this system but i think employee numbers might be like. rankings? so 0 is the highest and if you're at 999 boo everyone hates you 👎

my deepest apologies to anyone who has an oc who's #999 that was not directed at you i prommy

so anyway as it goes 144 is actually?? pretty high up the list? she's often treated with more/less (depending on the person) respect than the title deserves but i think nobody can really advocate for her to be moved any higher or any lower given she's terrible at working but zero likes her which cancels each other out somewhere in the middle

i think a similar things probably happening with the employee 432

bitches hate him but he's not TECHNICALLY doing anything wrong so

they can't move him down xP

"wait toby what happens to the number scale when babies are born" i don't know actually good question!!

i feel like you give birth to a baby and zeros like wonderful :) they shall be called 235 and the current 235 just goes 😬 because he knows this means he's probably gonna be taken out back and shot somewhere to make room for it /hj

not that zero would ever actually say he'd done that though

'isn't it wonderful we had the space of 235 free?' 'dude what happened to the last 235' 'i'm sure i have no idea what you mean :)'

man rip to 235 ive already created him and killed him off in like two minutes

he'll live forever in our hearts ❤️

so 432 is barely avoiding getting shot because he knows they need him for Experimentation And Shit (though it's probably not linked to mind control this time) and 999 is like. they're managing i think. barely.

i feel like they're definitely not the original 999 but if zero kept shooting them and replacing them then people might start to get suspicious so

they're alive for now!!

back when i said nobody died i mean i don't THINK that's actually true i think zero probably just pretends they're fine and alive and living in a special bit of the office just for people who are fine and alive

so really it would be more 'isn't it wonderful 235 decided to give up his position to our adorable little member of the next generation?' 'dude what was that gunshot i just heard' 'no more questions thank you :)'

we're getting off track again (i shake my fist at at zero) okay so back to the topic at hand!! 👍

the other point is i think that this probably means 144 has special benefits due to the person they're essentially replacing? like the original 144 was very close to zero so zeros kind of putting all this pressure on her replacement to like.

be worth having taken her out back and shot her yk???

like he only did it because he thought 144 was a very special baby (more on that at six) and he still harbours those feelings but he's getting HELLA desperate now

probably because it was a shit move dude

okay you know what it's six (it is 3:40 at the time i'm writing this) lemme tell you about 144s birth

i like to title this section 'fuck you all (not you guys though) i am allowed to spend my teenage years making mary sue ocs because if not now then when??? actually that previous statement was a lie i will now make them all the time i will be making them way into my sixties but my god shall i start now'

so.

brief synopsis of the birth of 144: uhhh it didn't happen???

i mean presumably it did because there was a baby produced but like. there was no record or knowledge of it there was no person pregnant enough to have made a baby at the time a baby was found lying on the cold floor of a meeting room but by god was there a baby there nonetheless and by GOD was it wailing its lil heart out in that way babies do

so the poor employees who found this thing were like huh?? and they asked each other if they knew of anyone who's baby this could be and they didn't and they tried to work out how someone could very quietly give birth to a baby then keep it quiet all the time they were just leaving it and none of it made any sense

so they were like hey zero. know you're real busy rn. but quick question. there's uh there's a baby.

and zeros like what?? and they're like there's a baby. look. and they hold up the baby and sure enough it's still a baby

so now they're all as confused as each other but in the meantime there's a baby and it's still crying

me too lil buddy i feel ya

so employee 144 mark 1 is like okay well this is going nowhere lemme take this lil guy and she takes the baby and it quiets down in the way babies sometimes do

and immediately the office registers its first ever reset!!

which is. not that dramatic actually. everyone's shaken up they can feel everything Change but there's nothing cemented that anyone can pin down apart from the fact for .4 seconds Every Computer And Other Technological Device In The Building Crashes

like i'm talking flat out blackout everything just Goes albeit for a very short period of time

and then it all boots back up!!

and zeros like hm. very suspicious.

and 144 mark 1 subsection a is like hey what do you mean by that it was just a powercut or do you think i birthed the baby or whatever?

and zeros like no no!! don't be silly :)

and 144 mark 1 subsection a category i is like ah phew well i was worried there and zeros like actually i think you're the same person :)) and she's like. huh. okay well- wait huh????

and zeros like yeah i actually have this theory that every employee replacement is like the reincarnation of the employee whose number they're taking (i'm so sane btw) and then 144 mark 1 subsection a category i genus humanus has to sit down for a little bit because a) that's stupid as hell and b) she's damned if she's dying for a baby who's probably shat its nappy in this time simply because some computers crashed the moment she picked it up

and then she dies for a baby who had absolutely shat its nappy in this time simply because some computers crashed the moment she picked it up and that's the end of that which is good because i was running out of categorisation i could apply to her name.

i think that's the end of that, at least. right?

uhhh.

2k words you know what i shan't curse you with any more xP

there IS more i assure you!! but dear lord let me get this block out the way first

#clickonmedotexe #the final product is 2154 words for what its worth!!#i mean its a mess at that but #ive poured my damn heart into this now #can you tell im attached to this worldbuilding?? /hj #i mean not enough to work out the PLOT HOLES obvs who do u think i am but #yk #its lore!!#shoooooould i trigger tag this #tw death mention #tw implied cultish behaviour #okay thats way too specific a tag for anyone to have blocked #so i hope my disclaimers can make up for it xP #anyway you know what. i amnt queuing this. realtime happenings going on here.
