5th Time in Text

[knightime]

how many times have you gone back quote unquote home?
this would be my second time going back
also how long do you get sent back for
both times for me it was like a fucking month
god a fucking month of this shit where you have nothing to do
do you even realize how boring that is?
its like making angels in the fucking ground pretending its actually fun
i assume making snow angels is the shit
but tv programming could be a lying fuck
i only saw snow once and we kind of had shit to do
its cold anyways and why the fuck would you like snow
because freezing your ass off is so much fun
but thats not the point
im back i guess

...
it feels emptier than usual

[Even if he didn't ask her out, it would still hurt a lot. Dave wishes he could let this constant pain numb at some point. He's tired of missing his friends disappearing.]

And if she does say no?

[plushaeusrumpified]

Then you tried, and that's better than giving up before you even gave yourself a shot.

[And if you don't try, then he's going to be severely disappointed, Dave. Seriously. You don't just give up your one chance at happiness in a place like this. The risks are worth the potential suffering.]

[knightime]

[He let's out a bit of a nervous chuckle. God he's a terrible Strider. How can Bro deal with him?

He opens his mouth and closes it. Nope. He'll keep it to himself.] I guess.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Shut the fuck up, you're not a bad Strider.]

Nah, what were you going to say?

[knightime]

It doesn't matter what I was gonna say. I didn't say it because it was fucking stupid. That's what happens when people decide not to say shit.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Quit with your smartassery. Tell me what the hell you were going to say! Because knowing you, in this context, it was probably something self-depreciating and I have to tell you what a load of shit it was.

[knightime]

Holy shit. Now I'm definitely just not gonna say whatever it was. Not interested in a verbal beatdown. Kay thanks.

[Bro just facepalms. Yes, you've driven him to face palming.]

Dave. Seriously. Come on.

my favorite icon ever.

[knightime]

No.

Can we not? Can we just get over it?

it's a beautiful icon

[plushaeusrumpified]

No, we can't! Now fucking tell me before I get angry. And you know what happens when I get angry. I cause trouble. And causing trouble just ends badly for every one.

[He's being a manipulative asshole and he knows it, but goddamn it he wants answers. And Dave should know by 'trouble' he means trying to destroy parts of the tower.]

[knightime]

Oh my god. Why does this have to be a fucking thing? What will it accomplish if I verbally say what you probably already know I'm going to say?

[Of course that would require me remembering what he was thinking. Also, screw you bro. He doesn't want you giving him some verbal beatdown.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Groan. Groooooan. Never has anyone groaned this exasperatedly in their life.]

Fine. But whatever it was, it's not true. Just remember that.

[knightime]

Of course. It's been jammed into my mind. No misconceptions here.
