[Aradia's in front of one of the library terminals, clutching her brand new teddy bear which is her reward for losing a game she was never signed up to play in the first place. This somehow translates as a win for her, which is why she's carrying it around with her rather than tearing it apart or burying it at the bottom of a trunk never to be seen again.]

So, these little guys are kind of cute when they're not trying to kill us. I feel like I should give him a name but I can't decide...I'm sure it'll come to me.

Is everyone okay, though? I didn't last long into the evening so I'm not really sure what happened for a lot of it but it sounds like things got pretty messy. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

of course
you would think these things are cute as fuck
nevermind
we just played the most fucked up game of hide n seek in the history of fucked up games of hide n seek

[Dave isn't actually sure what to do with his, and it's kind of unsettling. And he's pretending he isn't losing his shit.]

[verymuchalive]

you mean its not normally like that?
huh
anyway it doesnt seem like theyre moving now so i dont think we have to worry

[knightime]

i dont keep teddy bears
i have lived in a house of smuppets and creepy puppets
teddy bears are neither
what do you think might happen if i tried destroying it???
like just burning it
you think itll come back and kill me in my sleep???
i mean its a useless endeavor
but i like to weigh my chances before doing something predictably retarded
and turning the dying dave motif into a gag here

[verymuchalive]

oh
well
okay
but maybe keeping teddy bears could be a thing you start doing now!
why are they even called that?
it seems an odd thing to call something
anyway i guess you could always ask if anyone else has tried destroying theirs
while youre already on the network and all

mfw i look up the origin of teddy bears for RP

[knightime]

well
i guess it would be pretty ironic
if i kept one
also the reason why teddy bears are called that
is because theyre based off bears
obviously
but because once upon a time we had us a pretty rockin president who was named theodore roosevelt
okay i dont really give a shit about the entire story nor do i actually think this is worth storytime over
but his nickname was teddy
some hunting incident
and teddy bears were born
i could ask
but i also dont want people trying to destroy these bears because i was curious

<3 Dave is ever the helpful

[verymuchalive]

right and you like irony!
dont you?
so okay theyre named after some human leader
he must have been important to have something like this named after him
and im not saying ask someone to do it
im saying to ask on the offchance someone already has

The amount of useless knowledge he contains

[knightime]

being ironic is just cool kid shit
well its based on an event
that got serialized into a cartoon
and the maker of the teddy bear asked to use his name and got permission
and it became a hit
i know
but someone is dumb enough to try because they got curious

Yup

[verymuchalive]

oh okay
i dont really understand the whole cool kid thing
do you think they have the cartoon here?
they have a lot of stuff here maybe they have that too
but
do you mean someone specific?
because you could lock it from them

[knightime]

not many do
maybe
idk
you can check
i dont really know what this place has so i just assume everything
no
no one specific
just you know
there has to be someone here dumb enough to take it as a challenge

[verymuchalive]

maybe ill look later
once i know everyone came back okay
and well
wouldnt that be on them if they did?

[knightime]

do you know who else died???
i think i died pretty early
i lose track of time after sitting in a cabinet for fucking who knows how long
yeah
but if i didnt asked
they wouldnt have tried???

[He doesn't want to be the direct cause of someone's dumb actions.]

[verymuchalive]

i know there were a couple
but i didnt last very long myself so most of what i know is what other people have told me
or maybe they would have and your post was just the excuse they needed?

[knightime]

wow
we sure as fuck
suck at either hide n seek
or surviving
and im not sure which one it is
yeah well
it was still instigated by me in some way
i dont need to be someones excuse

[verymuchalive]

well surviving would have meant killing someone else
which i could probably have done but it wouldnt have been right
i guess thats just how these things go
and well okay
but if i hear of anyone who did ill let you know

[knightime]

yeah
i wasnt really into
the rat someone out like a selfish dick shtick either
of course i didnt think
it would have just left me there to die either
but welp
im just gonna start keeping a list of the many ways dave strider can kick the bucket
yeah okay
ill just see if anyone else has
without outright asking

[verymuchalive]

they werent going to make the end easy for us thats true
oh but if you do you should let me know!
we can compare lists!
and yes that sounds like a plan

[knightime]

gonna tell you now
bleeding to death via stabbed in major arteries
hurts like a bitch
no amount of lying on the floor trying to get comfortable helped

[Although he knows it was purely because he was skinned. He's not going to talk about that. It makes him feel sick.]

if all fails
everyone who died will just have these shitty teddy bears
to mark the day we stupidly played a game in this fucked up tower

[verymuchalive]

you were
oh
oh my
that doesnt sound pleasant at all
the more i hear the more i think i just got lucky
but youre right i dont think we have to worry about the bears
theres always the trunks for people who dont want to see them all the time

[knightime]

this is where i stop talking about this
because its seriously kind of freaking me out a bit
and it wasnt even the worst part
but im seriously shutting up about this
gonna stop
...
yep
i guess ill just leave mine be
hell no im not naming it
if i put lil cal with it
maybe it wont
...
no this is twice as creepy now

[verymuchalive]

sorry
i wasnt trying to be insensitive
i just get carried away sometimes
wait
lil cal?

[knightime]

no
its not your fault
im being a delicate little flower right now
give me like a couple of hours
and ill be joking about it like nothing
lil cal
my bros puppet
that creepy little stupid doll that ended up in my trunk

[verymuchalive]

well maybe
but i dont think thats unusual
to be upset about your own death i mean
wait
hes not yours?
but the tower gave him to you anyway?

[knightime]

im not upset
uh
i guess we both owned him
he was in the apartment and was mostly in bros room
but he tormented me with it
and it was always on derse with me
its hard to explain
but i guess we co owned it
i just didnt want it around so my bro usually had it

[verymuchalive]

well that makes a little more sense
so
wait
what if your bro shows up?
does that mean therell be two?

[knightime]

...
i will seriously just quit life forever
if theres two of them in this place
actually no
i wont care
whatever
if bro wants us to be neck deep in puppet ass
im all for it
