[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.

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

[verymuchalive]

youre confusing sometimes
but ill take that as a maybe yes

[knightime]

it depends i guess
like if they decide it should be in his trunk
it will be
if not
it wont
i mean for some reason my trunk had a crapton of apple juice

[verymuchalive]

do you like apple juice?

[knightime]

yeah
but thats not the point

[verymuchalive]

oh
why isnt it the point?

[knightime]

nevermind
ive completely forgotten what this was about
i have no idea what were talking about anymore

[verymuchalive]

apple juice
or well
first it was bears
then puppets
then juice

[knightime]

since that was incredibly vague
and really doesnt explain our insightful conversation
do you even know what apple juice taste like?

[verymuchalive]

apple?

[knightime]

have you tasted it before???

[He is going to slam his head against the closest wall, Aradia. Why do you do this to him?]

[verymuchalive]

i dont think so
but it seems logical that it would taste of apple

[She's just playing with you, Dave, geez!]

[knightime]

well yeah
but
wow
your childhood sounds so deprived
how have you lived for so long without apple juice???
sheesh

[verymuchalive]

i dont know
maybe thats why ive died so many times!
