thanks btw
for the people who sponsored me
i mean it kind of sucks that you did

misery sure does fucking love company
and i dont appreciate the gifts this place keeps giving us
seriously like i need to start some smuppet collection
that isnt even my shtick
im running out of space to keep shoving these stupid stuffed toys around
if i wanted a smuppet id just make them myself
i mean i lived with that shit for thirteen years
im pretty sure i would know how to make them
but thats besides the point
i dont even know why you guys would care
bluh
it looks like new people arrived while we were all in there though
sup
welcome to the tower of this is complete and utter bullshit

Because you are my friend and you are brave and no one should have to die.

ill find out
i have the power of asking people
youd be surprised
it works sometimes
they actually give you answers if you ask nicely
text
They took my powers, sometimes they work a little bit and sometimes they don't work at all. But then on some days they are fine...
I keep having nightmares, or things happen while I sleep and I think they are real.
It doesn't matter though. [Because it's nothing compared to what they did to Dave. And if Taiki helped him at all in the labyrinth, if he managed to help anyone, then it was worth it.]
text
what the fuck
because fucking with the guys in the labyrinth wasnt terrible enough
lets fuck with all the nice people trying to help
hnnnrghhgh
im sick of this place
and it sure as hell does matter
[Dave is pretending that no one saw what happened. He doesn't want to remember. Because he can still feel it and it's making him feel sick. So he'll just concentrate on everything else instead. It'll keep him from having some mental breakdown.]
sure as fucking matters
you still had to deal with crap you shouldnt have
no subject
[He feels so powerless, this tower is not Tai and those that rule it are not his king, the people suffering are not his own. But he still wants to help them, he just can't... Not really...]
no subject
aint stopping them though
seriously though you didnt have too
i would say ive seen worst
but that might actually be a lie now
gdi
[Dave just feels bad that the kid was now going to have problems because he helped him out.]
no subject
no subject
the fact you guys even tried
well thats something
we dont really have any power here
so stop apologizing
i wasnt even blaming you
[Making him feel bad, kid.]
no subject
no subject
its making me feel bad
sweet jegus
im not angry
no subject
no subject
seriously
sorry it just kind of went to waste
didnt expect to try and go one on one with someone way above my league
no subject
no subject
idk
i guess im glad i kicked the bucket early
one less head to sponsor
not that i wanted to die or anything
but i dont like that they smacked everyone around with shitty repercussions for being a good person
no subject
no subject
not dying would have been pretty cool
but this place seems to live off us constantly kicking the bucket
no subject

i wouldnt put it passed them

Did you know? They recorded whatever nightmares people were having, I've seen it in the backlog.
Because they definitely want us all miserable together. Which is better than being miserable on our own, right? Funny. Really funny.
... I hate this place. There's got to be some way for us to break it. Get everyone out, send them home. Fix our homes? ... Something. This is bs.
no subject
ughh
thats a load of shit
this place is such a load of shit
haha im laughing so much right now
no im not
if theres a way to get everyone sent home
im all for finding that way
but i still really doubt our homes are even gone
i still think its a fancy ploy to make us thing its actually gone
wherever they sent me to a few months ago is not where i was last
or whatever
[How does one explain that their world was destroyed and they were traveling on a meteor? You don't.]
no subject
or it is to them, I guess.
I don't believe it either, but in the off chance it's true, at the very least, there's got to be something we can do.
I've been with a group of people who broke into the inner area before, but we didn't get very far before we were massacred. We couldn't even fight it off for very long.
They have some kind of hold over us that can stop whatever we can do. There's got to be a way to turn that around. I'm tired of watching everyone around me be tortured slowly in various ways. It isn't right.
no subject
hahaha
are you guys going to attempt to break in again?
do powers get nullified in there?
because if not
i might be able to help
[Although that would suck.]
im sure there is
but im a stubborn prick who refuses to think were stuck to be their playthings
in this shithole
no subject
We need a better plan... the only weakness we could find was the Elevator. But if there's another one we could exploit better... we might be able to get somewhere.
no subject
so you can add me to the list of people that might be able to help but probably cant
has anyone made a layout of the entire tower?
we could do sweeps and figure out what floors might have spots we could exploit and what floors we should probably never have tried in the first place
conveniently
floors without monsters would be nice
but i wouldnt be surprised if those were the floors that might be what we want
no subject
I've been keeping a log--a guide, of sorts, on the Tower. Rose Lalonde helped me create it. And I'm keeping a log of the floors as well, so I could probably make a map. But we'd need to keep on top of it, because every time this tower grows, the floors are either getting more dangerous and insane, or harder to map.
no subject
so i bet this shit is pretty tip top
if only because shed refuse anything lower than that
i wouldnt mind trying to help out
itd be kind of difficult around the floors where powers start getting nullified
but the other floors would be a breeze for me
but finding a weak point would be a lot better than the elevator
we need somewhere with more space
so we arent packed like sardines
no subject
That said... I guess we could try exploring a few floors? I know there's a few that could have a weak point, they're just... hard to get through. They might also be dangerous.
no subject
if it helps in anyway
im all for it
we can just get a group of people together
if we start getting overwhelmed we have people to watch each others back and we can fall back
it might be worth at least seeing if any of the floors have anything to offer
RECKLESS BACKTAG PARTY
what's important is that you're here now.
i guess you got one of your bro's puppets?
BACKTAGS INTO INFINITY. I almost typed packtags w.t.f.
striders dont worry
theres nothing to worry about even
tower just decided to be a grade a piece of shit
and i guess i appreciate the whole not having powers shit in the labyrinth
im not really interested in death by pitchfork more than once
ugh
that would be shitty
yeah
its now sitting with lil cal and that stupid teddy bear
i guess the tower thinks im a girl
what the fuck
no subject
are you serious?
you're right, that is pretty shitty of them, wow.
i mean, i guess it can bond with lil cal over how super-special-awesome your bro is, but that's just... wow.
i think everyone died only once in the labyrinth, though.
still, it's not like we haven't seen worse than this, right?
keep stridin' and all.
no subject
And he's not ready to talk about it. Nor will he ever.]
yeah
that fucking teddy bear
im tempted to burn it
but im also pretty sure it might gut me in my sleep if i did that so nope
my bro is super special awesome
wow if he ever saw i typed that i will just be the most uncool thing for the rest of my most uncool existence
yeah
this tower has nothing on sburb
i can handle this place
[He's not sure if he's trying to convince John of this or himself.]
no subject
i don't know man, from what you've told me i think he would be really proud of you.
"aww, look. dave's grown up into a big boy internet media consumer."
yu-gi-oh abridged, son.
rite of passage.
but, seriously.
we don't know what's going on, so don't be afraid to call in the egderp, alright?
everyone has to work together for this, i think.
at least, if life imitates art then we do.
no subject
except there is no more internet
so i guess that means were back at square one
on the brightside
we can create it and call ourselves the creators of the internet
lets call it the timmy
then no one can question us because we created the timmy
fuck yeah
dont know what you mean
its not like i usually agree to these shitty experiments or whatever
i wasnt so into the battle royale experiment in the labyrinth
they kind of just shoved us all into the elevator than tossed us out there
i couldnt really be like
hey egderp i need some help
spare me a cup of sugar
but im fine
i think i was dead for a long time though
that was really weird
mostly because that means theres like this six day gap of nothing between dying and coming back
fancy that
im all cool though
just chilling while we have the downtime
filtered to dave
yeah.
hey, i'm sorry about that.
i... didn't really do anything for anyone past the first day, really.
i couldn't.
i don't know what happened to me, i just... couldn't watch.
[Because seriously, that's now how John Egbert is supposed to operate. John Egbert is supposed to be the one who sacrifices his own good for his friends, no matter how awful it is or how high the personal cost.]
filtered to dave
seriously
none of us probably expected this to be some shitty spectator sport until we started getting sponsors
tbh
the fact that people could sponsor us pissed me off
yes why dont we just let everyone suffer while were at it
just fyi i know that youre now dealing with some power bullshit and nightmares
i got deets from someone who sponsored me so i know you guys didnt get off on a free pass
[He's glad John stopped watching. He didn't want John to see what happened.]
were tough
we can deal with that shit on our own
dont even have to be sorry
it was probably better that you stopped watching
...
they apparently broadcasted some of the punishments
along with the entire labyrinth thing
because they apparently can the dickwads
this got offtrack
but seriously dont feel guilty
i will punch you if you are still feeling guilty
my punch will be an instant death to all guilty feels
no god tier abilities will save them
it is a just death for feelings that shouldnt even have occurred anyways
what happened in the labyrinth
that was our own battle to fight
there was really no way you could suddenly change the odds
most of us were fucked when we got dragged into there
filtered ad infinitum
and nightmares.
but that's not even what i'm concerned about though.
i feel kind of bad about it, just leaving you guys to... well, die.
i know that i probably wouldn't have been able to change the outcome.
i mean, no one could, in my situation.
that's just what they want out of us.
they want to put on their little experiments, and they want to show it to us.
but they don't want us to affect the outcome.
it's kind of a really stupid idea, now that i think about it.
especially the punishments.
what, are they just trying to fuck with us?
i guess i shouldn't be surprised.
it's not that different from sburb, when you think about it, is it?
no subject
cant help you with the power issues
but if you want to talk about the nightmares
i am all ears and eyes and whatever body part you want tuned in
theres an innuendo in there but for the sake of seriousness i wont say it
you didnt leave us to die
and no one is pointing fingers at you for it
if they are
i will give them the worst beatdown that even the neighboring universes will know
bluh
they probably think this is all fun and games
teehee we saved you so you should stop being bitter and let us fuck with your shit
haha no
but
i preferred sburb to this
dying didnt end with being punished because you werent badass enough to win a strife
and at least we were aiming to win
or do something i guess
here its just kind of a broken record of dealing with their bullshit and having to suck it up and hope for the best
no subject
it's up to us to make our own objective.
unless we want to go insane.
obviously, we have a problem, which is the demonic helltower here.
this is just... the next level of sburb, kind of.
i'm not talking about video game levels, though -- no "you beat world 1-1, go on to 1-2" kind of thing.
it's an evolution, more like.
we have sburb over with, for the most part.
so now there's this, i guess.
am i making any sense?
no subject
because theyve done its worst to me at this point
still came out like a fucking champ
theyre sad attempts at breaking me was for nothing
suck it shitty tower
dave fucking strider is a force that cant be taken down
also they really need to stop their lying shitfaces about us dying
or you know
them saying we arent dying
because im pretty sure being stabbed in the chest
is dying
lying shit nipples
no
you arent
we still had shit to do in sburb
and even if this was another thing
theres like absolutely no game mechanics to learn
trust me i learned the shit out of sburb
no subject
if you want to put it that way.
it's not very 'official' terminology, but it works just as well, i guess.
you know, i don't get that either.
yeah, we're clearly dying... but we're just coming back to life.
that's different than not dying.
unless we're secretly in a coma.
and this is all a big, shared lucid dream.
...i wouldn't put that past them, actually.
no subject
i do what i want
yolo and all that shit
except when has yolo ever applied to me?
god tier makes that pretty much impossible
ugh
i dont even know whether it being a dream or real
is any better
although i can totally get behind the whole heres a coma
and heres a shitty coma induced punishment
have a nice day
[If only it made it feel less real. He's still not thoroughly convinced whatever happened was fake. But it had to be or John and everyone else wouldn't be talking to him. Ugh, this is confusing.]
obviously we need an allotted time where everyone just gets together to bitch about the tower
oh man
lalonde would have had a field day with that one
