Aaaand there goes his surprise. Darn. And here he thought he could keep her in suspense a tad longer! Oh well. Theodore's got a serious look on his face - more than he usually does - though it deepens into a bothered one as he talks. Especially since residents aren't usually called into audience by Lord Philemon himself or at all actually. Their purpose is to help their guests and find why they exist, though it hasn't occurred to Theodore that his true purpose might lie outside the Velvet Room.
"Indeed. He's referred by us as Lord Philemon, a being who once made a bet with Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, on the destruction or continuation of this world." If it sounds familiar, that's because they were in three games. Pardon the shudder at the Crawling Chaos's true name by the way. "He was for humanity, though he hasn't appeared in that form for many a year. My master Igor, along with those who are residents of the Velvet Room like myself, are in his service. For him to appear at all is very troubling and should not be taken lightly. Everyone, even you and I, have been called for a reason that pertains to the success of humanity."
