Happy belated Father's Day, to those it may apply to.

I had intended to make a post of it the day of, but I was elsewhere occupied.

[The Puzzler is typing something on his phone when he feels the distinct sensation of being watched. He looks up, and a confused look settles on his face when he sees the small dog.]

Oh- hello there! You're new!

[puzzles-pieces]

Stay tuned...

I sincerely apologize for my extended absence, viewers!

There are big things coming at Showfall, big things indeed! We've all been kept rather busy behind the scenes getting things prepared for-

.

Whoops, can't tell you that just yet!

Anyways, anyways, stay tuned!

[puzzles-pieces]

You guys must be very busy with such a full cast and variety of people! How many employees does Showfall have? Are there benefits like vacation?

Speaking of vacation, have you been on one recently. I understand if you haven’t; Showfall keeps their actors quite busy it seems.

But if you could go somewhere, where would you want to go? Would you go alone or with someone?

-The Searcher

My ideal vacation is pretty simple, I'd say! Somewhere far away with my boys, perhaps something rather... secluded. You know, far away from it all? The hustle and bustle of daily life... ah, anyway; I don't think going alone would be nearly as fun as going somewhere with my family!

[puzzles-pieces]

I imagine Showfall must work very closely with law enforcement and the government to provide opportunities like that.

What traits do Showfall look for when choosing employees? Are there certain traits that don’t work well with the system in place? Or health conditions that Showfall simply isn’t built for?

-The Searcher

Most every trait is able to find its place within these walls, but there are certainly a few that are more equipped to handle our line of work! Those with bright personalities tend to really shine on camera!

That being said, the personalities on camera aren't the only ones that go into making our shows! There are plenty of people behind the scenes, so most people are able to find some niche they fit well into.

It’s unfortunate when business interferes with family. I understand that well. As for my sibling, I believe they are the new Hero? That is what it’s called is it not?

They must be very busy with their work, as I haven’t been able to speak with them lately. That, and NDA’s and gag orders I’m sure you all have to keep the movie magic of Showfall a secret. “Magicians never reveals their secrets” but I wonder where they get all the assistants for their tricks. Surely they’d have to know how the magic trick is done, being a participant and all.

What do you think?

-The Searcher

Oh, of course! I know who your sibling is, if you are correct about their role. They... have been kept quite busy, yes.

You're correct that there is not much we actors are allowed to say. Movie magic, and all!

Actors come from all sorts of backgrounds! Something that Showfall prides itself on is being equally accessible to those from any background and history, opening our doors even to those who are less fortunate in life.

He sounds lovely. Kittens are quite resilient, don't you worry about him getting squished.

I think it will be good for you, having something to take care of like that. It does wonders for the mind, having another something to rely on you. You'll be a good cat dad, kiddo.

Tell me more. Do you have anything else coming up?

Got back safe. Sneeg and Star are here too. Love you. Sorry I left you

-charlie

I let this ask sit for... longer than I am proud of. I hope you weren't waiting on me responding. I couldn't bring myself to respond knowing that the post would, eventually, become buried in others.

It's good to hear that you got back safe, that you have Sneeg and Star with you. I hope they are well.

Please, don't apologize for leaving. All I ever wanted for you was to see you safe and happy, and that remains true to this day. I would give up anything I could to ensure those things for you, my boy.

[puzzles-pieces]

You don't have to stop talking to me. I'm still right here. Okay? I'm sorry if I worried you.

A cat certainly is something! Tell me about your soon-to-be-yours cat?

Got back safe. Sneeg and Star are here too. Love you. Sorry I left you

[puzzles-pieces]

Oh, my boy, of course. You have nothing to apologize for, you're right, but I see that it comes from your heart. I appreciate it - even if it isn't needed.

I remember one time, when you were quite small - small enough that I don't expect you to remember - you asked me why we were doing this. The acting. I think that was one of the first times you really noticed the cameras. My response then was the same as it would be today; everyone has their reasons. I couldn't tell you yours, but my reason to keep doing it has been you and Sneeg. My boys.

You apologize for not being able to pay me back, but seeing you alive and well is truly all I need in return. It makes this all worth it.

It's okay. You're okay, Charlie. I have been so happy to see you starting to thrive. I knew you could do it.

Got back safe. Sneeg and Star are here too. Love you. Sorry I left you

Hi Puzzler fans!!!

Okay, so I swear I didn’t actually think I was gonna get in this time. Please don’t kill me Showfall thank youuu I’m trying to help! With… security? That works. Anyway, hi Puzzler, I think you’re cool, your password’s really weird but once I figured out the right order to put things in it wasn’t that hard. Did you know that basically all of your passwords use the same formula? D'you think it would work for HETCH too? Anyway. Sorry about the invasion. Maybe change your password tho just in case someone finds out how I did this

[puzzles-pieces]

Ah I have spoken to Charlie briefly. He’s very polite. I actually have family in Showfall. An actor. You’ve probably met them. Are you still in contact with your boys?

-The Searcher

I... do not speak with them much anymore, no. I'm afraid it isn't always the best idea for me to keep in contact with people, considering my... restrictions, within this-

Ah, never mind my rambling! You say you have an actor in your family? Well then, congratulations! It's a very difficult role to achieve!

[puzzles-pieces]

Oh! You have family? It sounds like you acted together in Wild Chard. Spending time with family is important, I definitely understand that. Would I have heard of your boys?

-The Searcher

That I do! If you're acquainted with Showfall, you've likely at least heard of my boys, yes! Charlie and Sneeg are their names, we were together on Wild Chard!

[puzzles-pieces]

Yes

[The Puzzler looks at his device with a defeated look on his face. He's resigned to his fate. He puts down the device and puts his head in his hands, prepared to wait it out.]

[puzzles-pieces]

*yes they are*

[The Puzzler looks at his device and frowns as the bee-sensation starts up once more.]

[puzzles-pieces]

[no they are not in fact in his stomach again]

[The Puzzler winces as the sensation disappears again.]

Viewers, is it really necessary to play tug-of-war with my internal organs and... bees?

[puzzles-pieces]

bees begone? more like beesgone am I right chat?

You are so very right, Viewer!
