You're close enough. It is not for you to see... unless I say so.
BubblegumSymphony

Well, you have managed to get this far. I suppose you do deserve an explanation. This place is known as the House of Ages. Here, every single event that has ever occurred throughout all time is stored. Every moment of every day of everyone’s lives can be found within here… but at a great cost. All of these memories have made this place extremely unstable and dangerous. That is why it has been locked away for centuries. My job, and the job of those before me, is to protect it so that it does not harm anyone.

wait so you are my dad

My dear, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm afraid we're not related. But like a father should, I'll give you some advice; leave while you still can. The longer you stay here, the higher the chance of the House of Ages collapsing in on itself, taking everything and everyone inside with it.

Do you understand what I've told you? The fate of this place is hanging by a thread. If the House of Ages collapses, so will the entire world! So please, tell no one about this place and leave. Now.
BubblegumSymphony

Thank you, for making me feel like I actually matter. For once in my life, I am not alone...

I suppose there's something I should tell you about myself now. But please don't be scared... I used to be like you. A curious visitor who stumbled upon this place by accident. But after this, I... became something more. You see, the memories here are so powerful, so intense, that they corrupted me. They made me lose everything that once made me human... but I was given a gift. The power to protect this place, and maybe, one day, to redeem myself. That's why I've been guarding these gates for so long. And now... I have no choice but to pass on this duty to you. It's time for me to rest, and for you to take over as the guardian of the House of Ages. Can you handle it?
BubblegumSymphony
lol sure

You think this is a joke? The fate of the world rests on your shoulders, yet you treat this as if it were a game!
BubblegumSymphony

No, you don't understand. This is serious. The House of Ages holds the very fabric of reality. One wrong move, one incorrect action could cause catastrophic consequences. This isn't a game or a joke. It's a matter of life and death, and you seem to be taking it lightly. Why should I trust you with such a heavy responsibility?
BubblegumSymphony
grrrrrr

Oh, so you're angry now? That's funny. Because when this place collapses, and the world crumbles down around us, I doubt you'll be laughing anymore.
BubblegumSymphony

Arthur

3 days? How do you know this will all still be here in 3 days? The House of Ages is unstable. It could collapse at any moment. We need to act now, before it's too late. If you truly care about your birthday, you'll understand the importance of this task and the gravity of the situation. Otherwise, I will find someone else who is capable of taking on this burden.
BubblegumSymphony
btw im only doing this because my parent said i can if i finish this quest so ur not really my dad 😃
Arthur

Your parents? So you have people who care about you? Well, that's a start. At least they're keeping you in line. Maybe they can teach you some responsibility. I doubt you have what it takes to handle the weight of this task on your own.
