My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - FelixTM - 2009-06-14

Entry 42. June 16, 2009.

[x] Tell Melanie about the nightmare you've been having.

"Ugh... Gonna use my own words against me now, huh? I know I have to tell her. It's hard... She shouldn't have to share my fear. But we're in this together now."

Melanie walks over to the bed and sits down next to Felix. "It's okay. You can tell me what's bothering you," Melanie says lovingly. "It's...well, when I go to sleep, I see Stan's face...as I kill him..." Felix hesitates. Melanie can't imagine bearing such a burden and hugs Felix as tightly as she can. "You had to do it Felix... You saved a life," she reassures him. "But...but I kept stabbing him... I just wanted to let my rage consume me..." he admits, frightened. Melanie doesn't falter for even a second because she knows Felix is a good person. "It'll be okay. I promise. I'll be here to keep you in check!" she jokes, trying to lighten the mood. "Now get up! It's already 10 AM again. Goodness you're soo lazy!"

After some breakfast together and a quick shower, Felix and Melanie decide it would be a good idea to look over their information again and do some more research. However, they don't get far before they're interrupted by the sudden barrage from the doorbell. They answer the door together and are greeted by two FBI agents. "Mind if we come in?" they ask. "Yeah. Of course, sure," Felix answers, a bit startled. The four take a seat in the living room.

Male FBI: "I hope we didn't intrude on anything."
Felix: "No, not at all. It's fine."
Melanie: "How can we help you?"
Female FBI: "My name is Valerie Minn of the FBI and this is my partner, Hudson Wellton. We'd like to ask you some questions, if that's all right."
Felix: "Of course."
Hudson: "How much do you know about Patrick Dupree?"
Felix: "Not very much. The first time I met him was a few days ago. He said he commutes to Gledenberg and he works at NewFuture. His house is something like 30-40 miles outside of town."
Hudson: "We're aware of that. Your dad never talked about this man at home?"
Felix: "My dad almost never talked about work. He'd mention lots of different friends at work from time to time, but never by name."
Valerie: "What about Tom Anderson?"
Felix: "I actually know less about him. I talked more with Patrick."
Hudson: "And what did you talk about?"
Felix: "Hmm... At first I just wanted to know why the hell he wanted to meet with me so bad. Then he talked about conspiracy at NewFuture, my dad and the murder of Anthony. How they believed it was him and didn't trust him. They mentioned the project Dad and Tony were working on. Don't think they knew much about it. Honestly, we never got to talk much. He was going to tell me something about my mother, but we got interrupted and never got another chance."
Valerie: "Did he confide anything in you? Anything that felt...urgent? Or odd perhaps?"
Felix: "No. Why do you ask?"
Hudson: "Never mind. Thanks for your cooperation, Felix. We'll be in touch."

The two FBI agents leave after their short questioning. Felix and Melanie both get an odd feeling from the last question. "It almost seems like they got a tip from someone," Melanie says. "Patrick never did explain what the urgency was... What if he is housing some dire information he shouldn't be? Something he'd want to pass on or keep safe..." Felix thinks. The phone rings, causing both of them to jump. "Hello?" he answers. "Ah, Felix. Hello. Good news. They told me you can move back into your house today. I can't guarantee they won't be back if they need to check anything, but it's better than nothing right?" Nicholas laughs. "Thanks for letting me know, Nick. Goodbye," Felix responds.

[] Go back to your house.
[] Go back to what you were doing with Melanie.
[] Pick Fuzzbuns up from the vet.

What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

Nick was the Police Officer that talked to Felix and Mel a little after the whole Chad and Stan deal.

Fixed. Thanks.

And yeah, Nicholas Lezoa is Gledenberg's local investigator/police officer/whatever. He hasn't been given a very big role yet.

Keep dreaming guys. It's necessary to pick Fuzzbuns up eventually. She knows that. Like she'd forgive you so easily!

I got bored waiting for Felix to update, so I decided to elaborate on the idea that Chad's diary really could be a paradox:

Spoiler

The organization known as NewFuture is developing a machine capable of time travel. Chad and Anthony are the two main men behind the project. One day while Chad is working alone in the lab, a time traveling version of Felix approaches him. Chad is in shock and realizes the project was a success. The time traveling Felix gives him detailed instructions about what will happen to him next year regarding the NewFuture project and gives him a diary with Felix's story written in it. The next thing he tells Chad is to kill Anthony because he will become suspicious of Chad's actions following this current visit. He also tells him to act differently than described in the diary's events and see if Felix tries different actions because of it. He wants him to see how events fold out and to write down everything that happens to him and Felix in this diary as best as he can. This would explain why our current timeloop Chad went on a killing spree, he lost the diary when he chose to leave the diary at home one day on purpose to see what would happen. This would also explain why he doesn't care about murdering anyone such as Tiffany and Joseph, Chad knows that he's stuck in a timeloop and his actions won't matter that much.

---

The reason the diary seems like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book is because the time traveling Felix decided that the diary would be written in this manner, mostly out of ease to the next Chad who will receive the book in the timeloop later on. This is probably the 200+ timeloop to get the best outcome for his actions and would explain the diary including as many entries and choices as it did.

---

My reason for doing this:

The story is called My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story]. Let's say that Felix finding the diary is the ending of the story, that would reinforce the idea that the story is stuck in a never-ending timeloop, which would make the title fit perfectly.

The company Chad works for is called NewFuture.

If this tale of time travel was confusing to you, then perhaps this visual aid will help you understand time travel better:

Entry 43. June 16, 2009.

[x] Pick Fuzzbuns up from the vet.

"Now that you mention it, I really haven't been giving enough attention to Fuzzbuns lately. I bet she's been lonely without me and trapped in that stupid vet must be even worse. Lets pick her up before anything!"

After hanging up, Felix tells Melanie the good news. "Want to come with me to pick Fuzzbuns up? It'd be nice to get her back in our house at least. I bet she's so lonely in that vet," he asks. "Sure Felix! You know I'd love to come with," Melanie replies. They decide to take Melanie's car again, for easiness' sake. At the vet, Felix talks with George Diccan, the head veterinarian. Felix grew quite close to George through his life because of his mother. Rose used to be the head vet at Gledenberg and George always worked closely with her. Felix is happy to see it's George that has been taking care of Fuzzbuns. "George! It's been a while! How are you?" Felix asks. "Felix! Heh... I've been good. Busy working, you know?" George answers. Suddenly, Felix gets this extremely odd feeling he's seen George recently. He thinks and thinks why this would be, but he can't place it. "Anyway, I'm here to pick up Fuzzbuns. They're letting me move back into my house now," he continues, shaking the odd feeling from his head. "I'll have her right out. She's a great kitty. And hey... So you two really are back together? I guess I do have to pay that damn woman 20 bucks," George moans. "Whoa wait up. YOU'RE the guy who bet Clarissa we wouldn't get back together?" Felix exclaims. "Heh... Sorry man. I thought it'd be an easy 20 bucks someday," George admits as he goes into the back to get Fuzzbuns.

Finally back home at the Legard residence, Felix lets Fuzzbuns out of her kennel. She purrs savagely and decides Felix is worthy of some love for picking her up so quickly, at least. "That silly cat sure loves you," Melanie notices. "Well of course! I saved her and nursed her to health. She's always been there for me," Felix tells her. "I'm gonna go feed her quick and be right back," he says, running downstairs. Upstairs again with Melanie, Felix notices the clocks are flashing. "Ugh...they must have had our power off for a while. I'll need to reset them. What time is it Mel?" he asks. She checks her watch and says, "10:40 ish. I'll help you get 'em fixed." While going around the house resetting clocks, the two notice how many things are out of place. They both think about how inconsiderate the FBI is. "I wonder if they found anything," Felix says. "I bet they found that tape and note, unless Chad removed it beforehand," she thinks.

Once they're done, they sit on the couch together. "House all to yourself now huh... Are you gonna keep it? It'd be hard to pay for without Chad..." Melanie says. "Yeah, I dunno what I'm supposed to do now. I can't afford to keep this house and continue going to college. Dad was always good about keeping things paid off, so the house is probably good for now. But that can only last so long... I'll probably have to get a small place around college. It'd be easier to work over there anyway," Felix thinks through the situation. "Don't worry about it so much Felix. I'm gonna be going to Riftook University now too you know. Maybe we could work out something together?" she suggests, somewhat hopefully. Not eager to jump into such a big decision, Felix says, "It'd definitely be a plan, but that's pretty important to just jump into without thinking through first." Melanie looks slightly shot down, but holds onto to her dreaming of getting a place with Felix.

The ringing of the phone comes as a savior to Felix, breaking him from his awkwardly challenging conversation with Melanie. "Hello, Felix speaking," he answers.

"Glad to see you're back home safely, my son."

[] Hang up.
[] Stay quiet and listen.
[] Demand to know why she's calling.

What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
