the lore
the flat pack cult
idea, but with a k. four lines of lore and a few sayings.
fan parody, not official
core lore
the cult ships as a flat pack and nobody has ever finished assembling it.
the manual has 47 steps. step 12 is just a drawing of a confused man.
every member gets one spare screw and no one knows where it goes.
members keep the screw anyway and call it the missing piece.
the 47 step manual
read it in order. read it again. the confused man at step 12 is the only honest guide.
the missing spare screw
one screw per member. it fits nothing you have built. that is the point.
the oath of the unassembled
i hold one spare screw.
i will not ask where it goes.
i will start at step 1 and stop at step 12.
i stay unassembled, and i am home.
short sayings
some assembly required, forever.
when in doubt, check step 12.
the spare screw knows.
flat is a state of mind.
