Most likely me, taken oh so long ago. I ache for those days again…
Hi, I'm Jack. Jack Waltz.
Why am I here, you ask? Well, I'm not all too sure myself. I just feel like I exist in this world, of emptiness. I only feel nothing, the nothingness that exists around me. I know everything is there, and always will be, but…
Does it all really exist?
Hm, where am I?
Why am I here?
I don't know myself, but, hm…
I wonder if I'll rot with time like the rest of them.
I guess I'm pretty ancient, something akin to a husk.
Sometimes, for the briefest of moments, I picture this beautiful sight…
A view of the infinite darkness…
A void, simply uncaring…
The luxury of being able to merely, not care no more…
And just sleep everything away, in an undisturbed slumber…
Truly a virtue, man shall never reach.
Speaking of which, was I ever a man?
Probably, though I don't quite remember…
Hm? Oh, sorry for going on like that, guess I forgot you were even here.
I'm fine myself. It's been a long day, I'm kinda tired. Though, how about you?
You'd like to know more about me?
Well…
I guess I've made lots here.
To me, it's like my own little smear in the grand scheme, no matter how insignificant.
I'm very proud of them all, very very much.
I think I should have a list here somewhere.
Ah!
There we go, just give me a second to put this all in order.
Here, just wipe off the dust.

"She opened her eyes and looked over at the apparent source of heat. The person who had approached and sat down on the ledge, mere feet away from Clara, hadn’t made any sound at all.

And, that's it!
More is soon to come…
Or not…
…But I'll always remember my time here was a lot of fun!
Hm? Friends? Ah, I've got lots!
I'm sure I asked them to give me some quotes, now where might they be…
Oh, whoops.
That's a lot, let me pick those up…
All sorted. If I'm being brutally honest, I don't know half the people who wrote these!
"I am currently plotting the death of Jack in order to gain ownership of his absolutely poggers articles. Good luck."
— MoreMuffins, with malicious intent.
"Holy shit, back away from my house or I swear to fucking god I’ll shoot you, I’ll do it. I said I’d crit your draft later, get the fuck away!"
— Cole 13, holding a shotgun, desperately attempting to protect his family.
"One day this fella waltzed in so smooth, it became his last name. To this day no one has any idea who he really is and where he came from."
— Sirslash47, whilst sipping some tea.
"Gonna use my quote to say how cool you are"
— WizzBlizz, an adoring fan.
"I would kill Jack to gain his articles, but I just found out that he's been waltzing so hard he's immortal. Ah well, shucks to be Muffins, guess he didn't realise yet."
— Machen2, sharpening his Swiss Army knife.
"This is getting out of hand. Now there are ██ of them!"
— Aftokrator, during the annual Wiki Jack Census.
"Jack Waltz was hit by a drunk driver in 2002. What you see before you is a collection of works posted by unaffiliated artists, all conjoined under their similar pseudonym: that of the tragic victim of a motor vehicle accident. None of these artists have ever contacted one another. Please, respect the identity of what was once Jack Waltz."
— Rounderhouse, lamenting my death.
"herggshsbdjwa!"
— TopDownUnder, speaking the town of her people.
"Stop it! Stop it with that whistling. Just let me out of here you sick fu—"
— AvocadoMilk, in the dark room, resisting.
"Listen, dammit! Jack is a fucking maniac, he’s got me locked in god knows where, along with Slurp, Hex, Top, even Afto… I-I think I’m the last one and I’m scared. My wife is Hannah Iverson, I have two beautiful daughters I want to see again, my home address is 2609 Charleston Road, Mountain View, CA 94043. Please! I’ll give you anything, god, just help me please! What's that noise? Someone's… Oh. Oh go—"
— MrIverson, in the dark room, panicking. this is a call for help i am stuck in the basment hes trapped me in here please come and help me please hes coming i hear the whistling please i dont want to
"Heh, so in the end, I guess it's all of us who ended up in Jack's basement. Oh, that tune. Speak of the de—"
— SphereFinale, in the dark room, attuning.
"Everything you hold dear, everyone you know and love, they are here. Come, they beg for you. Come to the basement. We are all waiting."
— Jack Waltz, whistling.
"I'm almost sure they can dance… almost."
— Hexick, tangoing instead of waltzing.
"Cool author page, Jack."
— T Rutherford, breaching multiple 'Pataphysical layers through reality, just to add this quote.
"How do i add a quote?"
— slurppp, googling witty quotes to use.
"Weird things started happening when I didn't read his works. First, I dodged a flower pot falling towards me. Then, a massive spider crawled on my back and I swatted it off before it bit me. Then, I almost fell of a cliff! Please do what he says, as I'm afraid—"
— boxynton does not match any existing user name, who is still very much alive, contrary to popular belief.
"Have never seen him waltz."
— OzzyLizard, confused.
"He locked me in the basement with the rest of them. Everyone else, I'm with them. But they aren't moving. They're not even breathing. Why am I alive? Why'd he not get me? I'm hungry. But I'm not eating that black stuff on the walls, no, no. Something else. I want to eat something else. Oh. They've got to be edible, right?"
— MrIverson, in the dark room, spared.
"Basement? What basement? As far as I know, everyone's on vacation in Jamaica, Jack's treat. There's really nothing to worry about — probably a very late April fools joke."
— BattleblockB0ss, shuffling through a stack of $100 bills.
That's all the ones I've got at the moment, but who knows, maybe I'll get a few more of them some time later.
Well, that was a nice talk. So—
Hm? If I… If I stop?
Well, I guess if I do go silent for a while…
…I'm more than happy to hand everything I've made to Uncle Nicolini,
Machen2, and
MoreMuffins, all great people I've met here, who'll be able to do whatever they'd like with my stuff! And everything I've co-authored will go to the respective co-authors, of course!
Well, I'm tired…
Mentioned I was tired earlier, didn't I?
Guess I might take a nap.
Well, see you later!
Let's see each other again, another time!
