Incorrect Control quotes 168

Emily: Don’t worry, I’ve got a few knives up my sleeve. Arish: I think you mean cards. Jesse: She did not. Emily, pulling out knives: I did not.

THE BOARD: < No >

@astral-overseers Hey, this is Earl Collins with the Cauldron Lake Tourism Board! You’re the Board of Directors of the FBC, correct? Can you give some commentary on the mysterious agents that were at Cauldron Lake?

some video games will have the player character immediately accepted as an authority + competent figure by NPCs, and many other video games will counter that trend by having you play a character who is largely distrusted, at least at the beginning. Control, being a jewel of gaming that it is, very specifically invokes the idea - NPCs accept Jesse as the new Director without question, in the middle of a catastrophic invasion by an extradimensional force, no less - to let you know that something is fucking wrong with this place and everyone in it

I made a travel poster for the Astral Plane from Control

[astral-overseers]

Made this dumb meme a while ago but never full on posted it so here I guess.

Also I am convinced that The Former offers a literal better benefits package than The Board their entire dynamic just screams "that abusive corporate job you left for a place that doesn't time your bathroom breaks" you feel me?

What does the Board think of other pyramids?

Whether it’s physical ones in our world (Egyptian pyramids, Memphis Tennessee Bass Pro Shop Pyramid, the Luxor Hotel in Vegas, ziggurats, etc.) or in other planes (the Idol of Eirræbœ (look it up), the Board’s own form in our world, etc.).

What does the Board think of them?

That's asking some deep questions about Remedyverse lore- Concerning how long the Board has been influencing humans, whether or not those other pyramids were built as effigies of the Board, etc, that I'm not prepared to answer.

What are the Board’s thoughts on the August 2003 Northeast US (and Canada) blackout?

*the one which was supposedly meant to ward off/contain The Boiled One/Flesh Cactus*

Freaky shit.

The event never happened in Control's reality, so the Board doesn't know about it and doesn't care.

[astral-overseers]

And who is the Board’s LEAST favourite bureau employee?

You.

Why does the Oldest House not have windows?

Same reason you don't want to poke a hole in a Bag of Holding. Weird shit starts happening to reality.

How does the Board know who to choose to become the director?

Prime candidate program aside (that was Trench’s idea more than anything else).

Intuition?

Hell if I fucking know. Most likely people with the most paranatural potential/ability.
