4th Time in Text

[knightime]

what do you while waiting for the sleep paralysis to wear off?
i mean it was kind of terrifying the first time
and maybe even the second time
but at this point its like the hugest fucking waste of time to be stuck lying on your bed waiting to get feeling to your fingers again
but now im curious
what is the longest you got stuck lying in bed for
like an approximate if you werent sure of the exact time

[He's kind of an idiot. Also, it is hard to converse with someone you like and you're trying to not be obvious!]

Yeah...I'm glad you could too. [Oh my god just watch the movie!!!]

[knightime]

does your jade or harley not follow that shit?
i mean its probably for the best tbh because i feel like they were on crack when they made that shit but whatever
more partial to birds

[lethechained]

[Not as hard as it could be considering it's Naminé, at least; that girl is perceptive in all ways except noticing any romantic inclinations in her general direction.]

[He'll get a lingering, warm smile before she turns and does just that. Just be glad it's not Little Mermaid.]

[knightime]

[Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. It means he spends more time being an idiot and trying to cover his tracks instead of just coming clean.

Dave had so utterly embarrassed himself (in his mind) that he forgot what Disney movie he even put in in the first place for her. Christ.]

[restitchtime]

No, she's too busy sighing dreamily over hideous 80s cop shows. Honestly I don't think it was much of an improvement, but I tuned most of her bullshit out anyway so what do I know?

Birds, really? You must have fucking loved it at home if it was anything like my world, then. The roof was always filled with god damn crows.

[lethechained]

[Well, considering what's likely to happen if she ever does find out--]

[Geez. Since it happens to be Beauty and the Beast, now that it's starting Naminé has begun to look quite bewildered. What in the worlds--?]

[heirterosexual]

[He tries again, pressing his weight a little harder into Dave's shoulder.]

Doing okay over there, space cadet Strider?

[knightime]

[Dave just shrugs.]

Same old, same old. Nothing new. [He came back from being dead, John. What do you think?]

[knightime]

80s cop shows
seriously
of all the things i could have guessed
that was not one of them

yea
they were pretty chill
they kind of got in the way though

[knightime]

Is something wrong?

[That's not usually a reaction to watching this movie.]

ah yes i can still reply in the comms excellent

[restitchtime]

Seriously. If I had a dime for every time she creamed her panties over MacGyver to me I'd be able to buy my own fucking island.

I wouldn't know. I kind of made a point of staying the fuck away from there as much as I possibly could.

[lethechained]

--....

[... She's not certain whether or not there is, honestly.]

Not exactly. But-- I think I know her. [She's kind of already contemplating the alternate universe-related implications of this dfjgbdkfgbdg] Or at least, some version of her.

[knightime]

Oh. I guess, yeah. That would be awk...ward. [Wow, that's kind of weird.]

That seems pretty cool though.

[lethechained]

Well-- she is a good person. And very special, too. [PRINCESS OF HEART AND ALL THAT.]

I guess... maybe this is what her past was like, if this timeline is anything like the one in my worlds.

It's-- fascinating, actually.

[Now that she's gotten past the initial weirdness and can think about it more clearly. ONCE A CREEPER ALWAYS A CREEPER--]

sexcellent

[knightime]

what is with our friends into actors with terrible names thats impossible to remember

they dont really do anything
they just sat around honestly

hell yeah

[restitchtime]

It's probably just another obscure karmic backhand for us to deal with considering they just won't shut up about them.

That's not really that healthy for birds. The fuck did you assholes do, glue them to the telephone wire?

[heirterosexual]

I'm still getting used to the quiet, pensive side of Dave Strider. I'm too used to the rambling shitty rapping side.

[knightime]

I can see why she'd be a good person. [This is an odd conversation.]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if you existed in another world as something else. This place seems to have a knack for that.

[Like his alternate purple self. That was weird at first.]

[lethechained]

Mm. Beast is lucky to have her around, I think. [Very odd.] Not everyone would be strong enough or patient enough to deal with his... well, him. [Not that she thinks he's a bad guy, exactly, he's just... got some Issues.]

[Nod.] I've thought about that before. There are many people from my worlds who have met their alternate selves here. I imagine it must be very strange. [Pause. She seems to be contemplating this.] It makes me wonder if maybe there's a 'me' out there who's-- [-- Whoops, no, she... stops, then presses her lips together for a second before stretching them into a smile, and she shakes her head.] ... I suppose if I ever find out, it'll probably be here. [There's a moment of silence again, then, half-joking,] You wouldn't happen to know of any movies I'm in, would you?

[knightime]

and they expect us to remember everything about them
a pop quiz im not interested in scoring very high
so what if nic cage had his sweaty face up close and personal with the camera in so and so movie

nothing
i mean they did shit but mostly
they just chilled
and got in my crap tbh

[restitchtime]

Or how many times MacGuyver used a fucking package of saran wrap to make a nuclear bomb or what the fuck ever. You'd think being told to shove it up their ass the first twenty times would be enough of a damn hint.

That's really weird. The sitting around, no the getting into your shit; it seems like everything and their grandmother's fucking interesting in pawing through Strider belongings.

[knightime]

Fuck off, I can be very quiet if I want too. [The quieter side of Dave is more prevalent than not, which might be worrisome, honestly.] Just because you can't believe it, doesn't mean it's not true.

[heirterosexual]

Well, all right, that's fair, I've only known you in person for like. I dunno a couple of weeks. I don't know if you talk in person like you do online. But I'm also just giving you shit because you're easy as hell to rile.

[knightime]

You an go back to whatever stupid thing you arrived in on. You're dead to me. Why am I best friends with such a jackass? I ask myself this every night as I lie in bed wondering my life choices. How did I convince myself that goober John Egbert would be my best friend? He's actually a huge butt mcassholepants to me all the time. Sheesh. I deluded myself for so long that you'd one day get better. My entire life is now a lie.

[No, John. he still talks a lot in person.]

[heirterosexual]

--See, now this is what I'm used to. This rambly shit.
