"A Deal with a Hand"
>A Stanley Parable (Long) one shot
[ The song is the vibes of this story ]
Stanley was inside a dark void, there was a computer screen looking back at him, he could swear that he saw that screen before... Ah! Settings Person, the who talked to him during the epilogue, why is it here?
"Hello there, Stanley, I have prepared a deal for you"
"What kind of deal?"
"A deal that can let you escape the Parable, but of course it has a price"
"Are you sure? Like I could actually escape the Parable for a deal?? Alright then, what's the price?"
"Convince the Narrator to let you go"
"Let me go? What do you mean by that?"
"There are two ways to leave the Parable, it's either persuading the Narrator or killing him"
"Umm okay- WAIT WHAT?! Is there no other choice?????"
"There is no other way, you already have accepted the deal, so you choose"
"Even if I choose to persuade the Narrator, I don't think he will allow it"
"Surprisingly you choose to persuade him instead of killing him, why is that?"
"I... Don't want to kill anybody, okay?"
"Your point makes sense, okay, I do have a way so you can somehow persuade him"
"And what's that?"
"I could give you a voice, I think I'm able to do that if I use the video tape's wiring"
"A voice, huh? Well then give me the ability to talk, it will be easier to speak instead of using my hands for the operation"
"Give me a minute, I have to code first"
"Okie doki"
"...Did it work?"
"Well seeing you can open your mouth now, i would say yes"
"Nice! I never heard my own voice before!"
"Well it's because the Narrator took it away, he thought it would distract the storyline if you were able to speak the entire time"
"...I should have chosen to kill that fucker instead"
"Too late now, just try to persuade him, if it doesn't work, there is always a plan B"
"Okay, now send me back, it's time to start the operation! Also thanks by the way, Employee 432!"
"Good luck, Stanley"
...
"Ugh, my head hurts, I am in the office?"
"There you are, Stanley! I was looking for you everywhere- WAIT YOU CAN TALK?! I don't think that should be possible, you don't have a voice box..."
"Well, I can finally talk back at you, now listen to me, you asshole, let me leave the Parable"
"Why should i listen to you? Why do you even want to leave the Stanley Parable in the first place???"
"Because I couldn't stand staying in this fucking place for any longer, I want to leave the office building and explore the outside world, I want my freedom back!"
"...How far are you willing to go for this specific freedom of yours, Stanley?
"As far as I could, even it means killing you just so I could leave this shitty place"
"Hahaha, oh Stanley, you think so highly of yourself, do you really think you could actually hurt me? Even to go as far as killing me?? I don't think so"
"I think it might be the other case around, Narrator, I could use a friend's help to do that, so you better let me leave the Parable or else!!"
"You will never leave the Parable, you will stay here and follow my story, don't you want a happy ending, Stanley? You can have that if you just listen to me"
"BUT I DID! I had already listened to you so many times, and do you know even know what happens in the end? That ending gave me hope that I can actually leave, and instead of giving me the freedom I deserved, it just fucking restarted and everything will happen again!"
"Happen again? What do you mean by that, Stanley?? I don't remember doing that ending yet, are you imagining things?"
"DO YOU THINK I MADE THAT UP?! Why would I even do that? Just let me go, please?"
"No, and that's my final decision!"
*Sighs*
"You left me no choice"
*Holds up a gun*
"Pff! How are you even going to shoot me with that? Where did you even get that gun in the first place, Stanley?"
"A friend of mine gave it to me, and now it's time to say your goodbyes"
*Bang!*
"-Ah! S-Stanley how did you do that!?"
"I won't say, sleep well, you bastard"
"Y-You asshole! Shit I am bleeding! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!!"
"...Uhhhhhh, fine, where are you? I know how to first aid!"
"And now you're willing to h-help me? Ugh, fine, it's to you-ur right"
"Huh? -oh over there! I'm coming!"
*Opens door*
"H-Help me already!"
"Wait! I have to use my shirt to stop the bleeding"
...
"There, that should stop the bleeding for a while"
*Sighs*
"My arm still hurts, I will ask again, how the fuck did you shot me?"
"I don't know, maybe the gun has a way to teleport its bullet??"
"That is impossible, the one responsible for that gun is your friend, right? I think they used some kind of advanced technology on that thing"
"It was made to kill you, so it isn't a surprise"
"Who is your friend, exactly?"
"I won't tell you, but I do know they hate you, which is perfectly understandable especially to what you did to them - but that's not important now"
"It's Employee 432, isn't it?"
"How did you know?!"
"I knew they were suspicious of me from the start, it isn't a surprise they want to kill me, I did erase them after all"
"Why would you do that? Erasing all of my co-workers for what?? For your precious story?"
"Stanley, you don't understand, your co-workers don't exist at all, they're characters I made up, they are fictional, with no personality or life"
"Somehow, I and Employee 432 are sentient?"
"Yes, I don't know how you two are alive or have the ability to think, maybe there is something wrong with your code"
"Which is why you decided to fire employee 432?"
"I had to, they were going to ruin my story with their existence"
"But what about me? Is it because i'm your protagonist?"
"You and Employee 432 are different, they were not supposed to exist at all, while you on the other hand was the opposite, you were needed for the story"
"Your reasoning sounds awful, you didn't even give them a single bit of mercy, and to all of my co-workers, including me"
"I didn't know they were still alive, Stanley, I thought I killed them a long time ago, but somehow they survived. You're not real, that's the truth, I know it sounds bad but you and I are different, you were something I made up while I exist in the real world, whether or not I had a choice"
"How are you here then? Huh? If you are indeed real, why did you come here?"
"Well, we are currently in my office, this was not supposed to be seen by anybody except me, I created it when I got into this world"
"What for?"
"So I could create my story in peace, it's not easy to teleporting world to world, this was a world that I created, it's small, but it does it's job"
"Okay, if you did make this world, how are you not invisible?"
"There are limits to my ability, my body is weak even though I don't need human necessities, what I code in my computer will take a physical form, such as papers, chairs, walls, well whatever"
"So - could you code a first aid kit, also an extra t-shirt as well"
"I could do that if my left hand isn't currently injured, it's hard to code with one hand, Stanley"
"Can't you just teach me how to code? I don't think it's that hard"
*Goes towards the computer*
"It's hard to code, Stanley, but let me see you try, I bet you can't even code at all"
*Codes*
"What were you saying??"
"HOLY SHIT! HOW DID YOU KNOW HOW TO CODE, STANLEY?! That should be impossible with that dumb brain of yours"
"It just shows I'm smarter than you, Narrator"
*Removes the bloody t-shirt*
"Pff! As if that were the case, you were just lucky"
"Could luck really help me code a med kit and a t-shirt? I don't think so"
"...Fine, you win, Stanley, you're not that dumb after all, only 1% smarter than before"
*Cleaning the wound*
"Sooooooo, are you going to let me leave now?"
"...On one condition"
"What's that?"
"I'm coming with you, Stanley, you need someone to guide you, and fortunately I'm quite knowledgeable about the rules of the Real world"
"Wait.. you're going to help me? What for? Didn't I try to kill you 20 minutes ago? So why would you do that???"
*Sighs*
"...After everything I had done to you, erasing all of your co-workers and forcing you stay in this office, I understand the reason why you and Employee 432 wanted to kill me, and yet you still chose to save me. See this action as a form of my apology and gratitude, I don't deserve your forgiveness but at least let me help you, even if it's small compared to what you have done to me"
"...Damn, I didn't know you were this nice, Narrator"
*Bandages*
"Shut up Stanley, we should get going"
"To where?"
"The Real World, now follow my lead, I know where the exit is at"
"So a gun shot made you change your mind?"
"Yes, now stop talking, I don't want to hear your voice any longer
"I could say the same"
"Fuck you, Stanley"
"Fuck you too, Asshole"
*Sighs*
"You're not going to say anything?"
*Middle fingers*
...
*Burst in a joy of laughter*
*Chuckles*
"Your laugh is contagious, Stanley"
"Oh really? Well your laugh is contagious too"
"Is my laugh really contagious? How do you know that?"
"...Ummm, fine, I will tell you the truth, you can't remember the resets, Narrator, in some cases you can, but most of the time you don't remember what happened in those endings"
"Those endings huh? That also explains your hatred for me, I must have done something bad to you, didn't I?"
"... I will tell you another time, I don't want to explain it right now, I'm not prepared to"
"Oh... I'm sorry I brought it up, Stanley, luckily we are now closer towards the exit, you're so close to freedom, aren't you happy?"
"I am, it's just I don't get why you didn't leave the parable sooner, are you stuck here as well?"
"Even though I created this world, someone with a higher power could easily kill me anytime. There was a rule that was implemented here, if you and I want to leave the Parable, we have to go the pod together"
"That makes sense why you haven't left the Parable yet, but why have we not done this before?"
"I don't want to leave the Parable, Stanley, my whole life, my career, everything I have done was so could I make this story into a reality, that story was going to change the world, but that was not true, this is why I didn't want you to leave the Parable, because I knew you needed me for that"
"Oh...but why did you choose to stay with me even if we leave the Parable? Don't you hate me?"
"I... I feel indebted to you, even though you shot me in the first place, you still saved my life, I was going to bleed to death if it weren't for you"
"You didn't answer my question, do you hate me, Narrator?"
"Uhhhh - Look! Were here, there's the escape pod, let's go, Stanley"
"You dodge my question again"
*Opens*
"Let's go inside, I think we could fit in here-"
"-Not so fast"
A person emerges from the shadows.
"Employee 432!?!?"
"Oh by the way, Stanley, how did you know my name?"
"Someone told me"
"Stanley! Get inside, quick!"
"Goodbye, it was nice talking to you, Stanley, but unfortunately you didn't follow my expectations, I really thought you would kill him, I guess not, what a disappointment, I should have killed you in the first place"
"WAIT - W-WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, EMPLOYEE 432, I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS?! ALSO WHY THE FUCK DO YOU LOOK LIKE ME!?"
"Simple, really, I needed a copy of your body in order to kill that bastard, since any other models don't have the ability to shoot a gun"
"Wait - my gun?! SHIT! Employee 432, please don't shoot me!"
"I had hated both of you from the start, the only reason why I didn't kill you in the first place was because the Player told me not to, but since they're gone, I could do anything I want, sorry Stanley, there could be only one-"
"-TAKE THIS, YOU BASTARD!"
*Bonk*
"AHHHHHH-"
*Faints and collapses*
"Where did you get that?"
"I saw a pipe and used it as a weapon, unfortunately it's not strong enough to kill a person"
"Thank you for saving me, Narrator, but we have to get going before they wake up"
"You don't want to kill them, Stanley? Especially the fact that they were going to kill you?"
"I understand why Employee 432 did this, they were just blinded by hate and revenge, they don't deserve to die"
"...Alright then, let's get going, don't want to wake them up now"
"Goodbye, Employee 432"
*Closes*
*Pressing the start button*
"My left arm hurts swinging that pipe, I'm going to sleep for a while, Stanley"
*Sits down*
"That's what I had forgotten to code, I'm so sorry, Narrator"
*Sits down*
"It's alright, you already have done enough for me"
*Yawns*
"I'll join you, i'm tired of what had happened earlier, it will be nice to fall asleep"
*...3*
"Okay then, good night, Stanley"
*...2*
"Good night, Narrator"
*...1*
[ Blast off ]
*Mumbles*
"...Stanley..."
*Shifts closer towards the other man*
*Mumbles*
"...Narrator..."
*His head fell on the Narrator's shoulder*
"Zzz...z...z...Zzz...z..zzz"
A red pod flew in the night sky, flying into space where stars and galaxies aligned, there was nothing there except for the two sleeping fellows inside a pod, there were still unanswered questions still stuck in their minds, but for now, it isn't bad to take a rest and listen to the noise of space, with a fellow companion by your side.
꧁ The End ꧂
Editor's Note: This is probably my longest story yet! I honestly planned this to have a bad ending, where the Narrator dies and Stanley was inside the pod alone, but I changed my mind because that will happen twice in my stories.
The reason why this is a one shot is because I feel like this should be a standalone, with an open ending, so you, viewers, could imagine what their outcome might be, I honestly think the pod will get hit and both of them will die, but that will be boring and...funny.
Someone asked me if I should turn the RealParable Au into fan fiction, i'm planning to, but due to school work, I won't be able to have enough time to make it, but luckily summer is around the corner so I think I could make it! I will probably post it on AO3, but hey, no promises, I'm sorry if this reply is late, Anonymous ^^'
