[Maybe no one is ready to rally up and take arms against the Authority of this dimension just yet, but for as little time as he has been in Wonderland, Bill can’t say his plans are off to a terrible start. Despite the last few uh…. Hiccups he’s had with the Pines family and their entourage, his mission to spread doubt about the Queen and display himself as the stronger entity was going fairly strong. Having a few followers and deals isn’t enough, though. He has to make good on his word. To be the better deity, you have to show why you’re better. And Bill believes he knows just how.

Residents of Wonderland will wake up to find this text on their screens; though only words, the script itself seems to have a life of its own, fizzling, glitching and popping all over is the phrase:

ALRIGHT FOLKS, LISTEN UP, because I’m NOT SAYING it AGAIN— Unless you WASTE your ONE QUESTION on it, WHICH I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO!

As we all KNOW, WONDERLAND is a land that VALUES INFORMATION, so I’m setting up a VERITABLE BUFFET of the STUFF and OFFERING you all ONE CHANCE to GLIMPSE into the KALEIDOSCOPIC ANARCHY that LIES BEYOND. For the FIRST TIME IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS sink your GREEDY TEETH into your BRAINS and ask me WHATEVER comes to MIND. I’ll use my TALENTS to find an ANSWER.

[Though… no one says they have to be true answers]

Her HEARTINESS has a HOLD on SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, so don’t go COMPLAINING if you get SHORTCHANGED, PAL. I’m doing MY PART you don’t like the VAGUERY, TAKE IT UP with the ORGAN IN CHARGE!!

SO go AHEAD, ask me ANYTHING! Ask about YOUR FUTURE- THAT GUY’S FUTURE, THE FUTURE OF YOU IN A PARALLEL DIMENSION WHICH IS ALSO ASKING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! ASK why that ONE star is SLIGHTLY more OFF CENTER than the REST!!

[Attached is a video where the camera pans to sky in question. . . . . . and stays on it for an uncomfortable amount of time. “See? Gonna.. Gonna bug you now isn't it--”--]

My ANSWERS may not always pertain to YOUR current REALITY! DON’T go LOSING any SLEEP over it I’LL NOTICE
Actually do- that stuff is HILARIOUS!

I don’t offer these DEALS every day, so show that GREED you’re all SO FAMOUS FOR. I’LL BE HERE!!

[Finally, a giant paragraph of text regarding terms and conditions flies across the screen, mostly full of nonsense about non-binding deals and including the phrase 'No, Not!Pinetree, you can't have any more weaknesses until you stick those jalapenos in your eyes.']

OOC: For those not in the know, the creator of Bill’s canon actually did an IC AMA once and it’s the best thing ever. Bill is the literal All- Seeing-Eye and IS capable of being omniscient, if you want to ask about your characters own canons he CAN conceivably answer certain things-- but, as stated, his answers might not pertain your character’s Universe so you can always disregard anything you don’t agree with.
Bill may answer in riddles, try to get around the question, or just argue that your question is stupid, although if there is something specific you want and I’m not taking the hint, you can always PM me too!

Napstablook glances at their phone and then goes back to composing their latest song, a little more melancholy approach to their normal compositions.

They sit there, in silence, for a few minutes, until the text becomes too irritating to ignore.

"....do i know you?" they ask, dismissively.

[The text remains as a blank white screen but a voice begins to play over it. The triangle on the other line is as sarcastically jovial as ever.]

“AH, GHOST, as DISMISSIVE as ALWAYS! You mean to say, you really FORGOT ALL ABOUT ME? After all the FAKE REALITIES we SHARED? The FABRICATED MEMORIES of our BOND?”

"oh"

They know that voice, and they stare quizzically at the device

"....how are you doing that? it doesn't look like the normal app....."

"Oh this AIN'T the HALF of what I CAN DO!"

[Again the letters type out in time with the voice-- only to gain a life of their own and start to literally run off the page, stacking and twisting to form new shapes within the app's canvas.]

"Through this DEVICE, I can DISPLAY whatever I WANT; INTREPID SCENERY, FRAUDULANT MATERIAL, YOU; COMES with the PERKS of not HAVING A BODY!"

[And they do; shifting from woodland scenes, a movie logo, to all text rendition of Napstablook's own face, and finally arranging back into the single lashed eye they recognize.]

"LET'S JUST SAY.. I'm not AS HUMAN as we INITIALLY THOUGHT."

[The ghost watches the screen, transfixed]

what a cool power...... can you do other things too? like tvs or projectors......

what kind of monster are you?

"I COULD-- well- in THIS STATE, I can't COMMUNICATE beyond this DEVICE and the EDGES of a GUY'S SANITY-- unless you wanna USE that as a SOURCE to TRANSMIT FROM- but at my FULL POWER the very FABRIC of REALITY was MINE to BEND!"

[Oh, how he misses it. The white backdrop of the screen vanishes.]

"AS for what kind of MONSTER-- I am, let's just say: THE SNAPPILY DRESSED KIND!"

[There is the sound of a snapping of fingers, and Bill pops onto the screen, bowtie and all.]

"Is MONSTER the CLASSIFICATION you GO BY YOURSELF?"

[Napstablook doesn't seem phased by the mention of unthinkable power- when magic is a part of your everyday life, bending reality could mean all sorts of things.]

yeah.... i'm, well, i'm technically a ghost monster.....

....i like your outfit!

[they look to the cables on their desk then back to the device]
....do you think if i hooked up the device to my computer you'd be able to get on there too?

"HmmMMMMMMMMMMM..."

[Bill muses, eye narrowing with every fall of each octave, as he turns to also look at the cables, as though he can see them beyond the device's vantage point.]

"You might be ONTO SOMETHING there GHOST! Typically I can only SLIP INSIDE something of a MORE ORGANIC variety, but what the HEY, COULDN'T HURT!"

[Not him, anyway. Bring it on! He visibly preens at the praise, tightening his bow-tie.]

"WHAT can I SAY, I'm a CLASSY GUY! Pays to KEEP up the APPEARANCES on OCCASION."

[Can you match this amount of gentlemanly grace?]

"more organic? like.... people? or like plants? ...it would be cool to be.... like.... a fern...."

((joke's on you, napstablook, you're being played BY a fern! ....sorry i couldn't resist))

Napstablook props up the device on their desk so they can rummage through the wires.

"you have to promise not to corrupt any of my files if you get on, ok?"

[~~Being played by plants is the highest honor <3.~~]

"NOW, NAPS, do I LOOK like the KIND of GUY WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT~?"

[...]

"...I PROMISE NOT TO CORRUPT ANY FILES."

[The wires go into the computer but nothing happens. No programs pop up, no nightmarish glitches take over the screen. It would seem the only thing the network device can do is the typical things any device what a screen could do; display its feed on a second monitor. Without attempting to wire for that specifically, however, who is to say. The desktop remains untouched.

There is one change. Bill is appears to be gone from the network. A solid black screen in his place.]

...bill?

....bill?!

bill are you okay?!?

c'mon this... this isn't funny....

oh....

[tears well up in the ghost's eyes]

oh gee.....

"-id it wor-?"

[While the computer remains unresponsive to the ghost monster's plight, at least in a visible sense, if Napstablook stops and listens, they might register a small blip of audio coated heavily in static.]

"-ey-"

[Perhaps the video cable isn't properly plugged in?]

[It takes quite a bit longer than Napstablook would like to admit before they notice the noise through their tears.]

oh .... oh!

They fumble with the wires, plugging them in more firmly.

b-better?
