Did/do you love Henry? Does he love you back?
Gotta admit I'm afraid to say on here -- I mean, I don't know if this should be gettin' back to him, if a thought like that'd scare him away more, but yeah, I figure I do. Feels odd to say it aloud -- or aloud in some kinda manner -- don't it? I love him! Jeez. Couldn't tell ya the latter, though!
Hi, William!
I now come bearing a response: “he would come all the way here for me? his company is the thing i want most in the world. could you tell him where to find me? could you tell him I miss him? give him my apology.”
Also, a warning: “only come if it's safe. something is circling these frequencies. not sure if it's like a shark or a guard dog. but i don't want to be the one who finds out”
his apology: https://www.en-abime.com/apology
where he is: https://www.en-abime.com/notrespassing fmfanatic1966@gmail.com
Best wishes,
Rhydian
WOW! Copacetic! Thanks a million, Rhydian! I better get packing. Now, I wager I know what he's talkin' about -- the unsavory company circlin' his frequencies -- even if he ain't understandin' it too clear himself. I'm pretty sure they ain't just hanging around to have a nice li'l' chat. Could I enlist your help? It looks like a long trip -- any help I can get, any distractions, any protection...would go a long way, pal! I'm always up for adventure, but I sure ain't gonna make it to ol' Henry's if I trek out there all on my lonesome without some kinda precaution in place...I want there to be some of me left for him to see!
On 4/20/24, players led William across the en-abime.com website to Henry's pages.
On the webpage he was on, William would present a poll of where he should go next, before moving to the most voted-on answer.
Here's what it looked like when he was on a webpage:
And here's what it looked like once he had left a webpage:
Each file Will left in his wake was a snippet of this song:
William's on the road again
He'll be there very soon
All he needs is two right feet
And to hum a little tune
William's heading for a hill
Somewhere 'tween east and west
All he knows, his sweetheart's there
And he'll figure out the rest
​
He's singin':
All I know I like
Is the road, the river, and you
All I know I like
Is the road, the river, and you
And running to your arms
Is all I ever want to do
All I know I like, my dear
Is the road, the river, and you
​
Now this ain't like any other trip
The scеnery is strange
Glitching leavеs upon the trees
Their shadows never change
​
But William keeps his head held high
Who cares what passes by?
He's happy on his journey
To the most delightful guy
​
All I know I like
Is the road, the river, and you
All I know I like
Is the road, the river, and you
And running to your arms
Is all I ever want to do
All I know I like, my dear
Is the road, the river, and you
​
Now every journey has its turn
When you start feelin' low
Your map is wrong, you've lost the path
And you can't tell where to go
But Billy, he's been runnin'
Since the day that he got made
The creator sat him down and said
"Young man, be not afraid"
"'Cause all you got in life
Is the road, the river, and you
All you got in life
Is the road, the river, and you
And you'll keep walkin' down that road
'Till the road dies or you do...
All you ever got in life
Is the road, the river, and you"
All you get in life
Is the road, the river, and you
All you get in life
Is the road, the river, and you
So, kid, keep walkin' down that road
'Cause what else will you do?
All you ever get in life
Is the road, the river
The road, the river
The road, the river, and you
So William's off and on his way
He's got to find his friends
But will he like the journey
More than he likes where it ends?
So William's off and on his way
He's got to find his friends
But will he like the journey
More than he likes where it ends?
Oh, will he like the journey
Or will he like where it ends?
At the same time, players sent distractions to the monster chasing Will. These included encoded emails to Henry's hijacked email, creating a Discord server for the monster, and prepping Will with various defenses he could use.
Though there was still the occasional run-in!
