[HD Remaster Narrator]

A Narrator specific to the Original Stanley Parable from 2013.

(For some lore explanations/ramble, and an extra drawing check under the cut!)

OK SO HERES SOME LORE FOR VERGIL AND HOW HE EXISTS WHEN VIRGIL IS RIGHT THERE BUCKLE IN EVERYBODY

Because TSPUD contains the everything from the original game (with the exception of the serious room ending) inside it, it's standalone in that it doesn't require you to have the original game in order to understand the story.

Virgil, the Brown Jacket, white swooped Narrator Ive been drawing is the narrator of TSPUD.

And since TSPUD is made in Unity, he experiences things differently. He's able to change his design more, He doesnt need a mic and speaker to be heard in the game, When stanley goes inactive for a while, the office starts to get cold, and has been given an office just out of bounds for him to work from if he so chooses.

However, because of this, the TSP 2013 HD Remaster doesn't have TSPUD content, and is all in source.

This is Vergil's Parable. He will experience everything in the base game and the serious room. He won't ever experience TSPUD content, and is bound to source engine rules (like needing a speaker/item for his voice to come from in order to be heard, this is why he has a mic while Virgil doesnt.)

Vergils design also comes from the picture of the boss in the boss' office. His design choices are more limited in this version but he keeps the suit in order to be more professional looking. Contrast to Virgil, whos had a bit of time to settle with the base game, so when sequel content comes in, hes reminiscing and more casual somewhat.

however, this doesnt mean Vergil is a more eviler version of Virgil. more malicious yes, but hes still just as silly as Virgil.

(and yes, with this lore means the TSP Demo and the original Half Life 2 mod have their own special narrator. ive got a rough idea of their designs atm of their designs so heres a teaser ig aksjdh)

anywho, thank you for reading all my ramblings, heres a little silly drawing:

“Can't remember when we walked past the O.R. sign!

It’s so embarrassing and heartbreaking being in so much pain over losing someone while knowing they don’t give a fuck if you live or die. Your favorite person becoming a stranger is a special kind of hell.

something about qbad mentioning how much horror he put red team thru every time purgatory gets brought up... something about how proud dapper was of him.

like this is just my late-night read but- it feels like guilt qbad is trying to twist into pride. he keeps needling away at it. “i killed them all, over and over and over again.” “they were hunted by a monster.”

it’s like- reassurance. like a nail he’s trying o beat into his head. he’s had SO much trouble with legitimately hurting his friends, despite making that vow all the way back when the eggs first went missing, despite all the tree talk and the promises to save the kids no matter what. He never faltered with elq, and that protected them. He keeps faltering now. Sometimes he doesnt remember the code, or cucurucho, or skeppy. But that doesnt matter, right? Because he’ll protect the eggs. He’ll be the monster. he is the monster. he can and he will protect them even as his seams start ripping and he keeps breaking further and further apart. even at his worst, he’ll do whatever he needs to protect the eggs.

he’ll be the monster. wont he?

Hey I’m here to be mean. Here’s a short blurb of post-canon married Gale/drow elf Tav.

It’s heavily implied that Gale has dementia in this, so feel free to scroll if that’s a no for you. I put it under the cut to make it easy to avoid just to be safe.

“Where’s my husband?” Gale, now well into his 80’s, asked the man before him.

The man swallowed. He took a second before he responded at all. “I can certainly find out for you. Can you tell me his name?” He clasped his hands in front of himself, bending over slightly to be closer to Gale’s current height sitting in his favorite plush chair.

“His name is Auva. He was a lovely drow, one of the kindest men I’d ever met. Everyone he met loved him, and for good reason.” Gale gestured around as he spoke, ending with pointing at the man before returning to his knitting.

“Well, I’m sure you’ll see him very soon, then. He’s in just the other room currently, getting some work done.”

“Oh! Well, good. Do let him know I’d like to see him when he has the time. He’s been a very busy man since we married, you know.”

~ ~ ~

Auva turned to go into the next room over. He cringed as he went, making sure it was out of sight.

Gale would recognize him when he came back out through the door in a few moments. He had to.
