The gatekeeper has been one of my constants in my experiences. He has always been a clown/jester like figure that teases me when I don't quite blast off. He closes out every show, escorts me back from other worlds and dimensions, etc... I didn't realize how comforting I find him until today though. The last time I went through the gate, but when I came back and he was closing all of the doors, he warped his body and became a pillar between 2 doors.
Now, he has been the same figure for 50+ trips. On this last one he looked right at me and said "You keep coming back like you are trying to figure this place out. What am I? Who knows???" And he shrugged his shoulders, tucked into a door and closed it and I was back.
He is gone now. Well, it's still him but he is now a mid twenties blonde guy with short hair, like an actual person. Before he was very cartoonish, I really liked it. I guess I have to get used to a new gatekeeper.
The last trip, I was in space and a giant mushroom grew arms and drilled into my brain. They are mad I drink too much beer. Gotta work on that.
