3rd Time in Text

[knightime]

hey tower folks
im in a bit of a jam
and i aint making any jokes
and im gonna stop right now because i almost started some sick rhymes and that wasnt what i was aiming for
so lets say you got hit by some major sick fires
these burns are pretty bad
anyone know how to take care of sick burns
hint
its probably like taking care of actual burns
but yeah
you tell me how to deal with all these sick burns
and idk
we can figure something out i guess
aint a big deal anyways
just need some friendly help once in awhile
and since im on the network
has anyone noticed that there are people missing?
more than usual
like the place just seems to be severely lacking in more people than usual

Assuming you can't obtain a burn salve, keep your burns under cold water for now.
What happened?
I've noticed it too.
I can't give you names of people who are missing; it's more of I've noticed the lack of just people in general.

[knightime]

nothing happened

[Dave is a shitty liar 2012.]

i cant give names either
actually i can give one
ive been looking for her but her room has been empty but her trunk is still there

[givesyouaboner]

Right.
Aforementioned sick burns just happened all on their own.
They just abruptly became a thing with no rhyme or reason.
This sounds so plausible.

Who is she?
I can look for her as well.

[knightime]

i just did something stupid and it backfired on me
its not that big of a deal
theyre just burns
aint nothing

shes one of my best friends

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, of course.
It's nothing but a flesh wound, right?
No big deal; don't bother sparing the deets, blah blah.
Just be wary of the degree they are and don't let them get infected.

That tells me little.

[knightime]

why are you making such a big deal about it?
ughhhhh
i just dont want to talk about it because it was dumb

[And he kind of might have died.]

she wouldnt have been gone this long so i dont know what telling you would do
people have to sleep in their own room
so she probably had to end up back in her room at some point
and if she were around she would have replied to this just to check in

[givesyouaboner]

I don't know, maybe because you're my bro?
Or a paradox version of him if you're prefer that definition.
If that's the case, why even bother making a network post at all?


At least tell me her name.
I might be new here but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of tracking someone down or extracting information concerning them.

[CASUALLY SLAPS A PRIVATE ON THIS]

[knightime]

...
uh

[Suddenly really awkward. Fuck. WHAT DO.]

i can take care of myself
if shit happens shit happens
so i got myself a few nasty burns
could be worst

[No it can't. But Dirk doesn't need to know about that.]

i made a post asking for advice
not pouring my life story to a bunch of strangers

jade harley

PRIVATE FOREVER.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm sure you can.
I'm not implying otherwise.
You can't expect to mention that sort of thing and not inquiries about it.

_{[Wow, yeah, this too awkward really.]}

Alright. No pressure.
I can respect that.

I'll see if I can find out anything.

PRIVATEEEEE

[knightime]

i answered the inquiries
shit happened
messed around with the wrong people
just paying for it by being in discomfort until this shit heals
or i guess until someone helps me which might be a thing thats happening

no pressure right
totally not pressure
im chill
cool

5EVER

[givesyouaboner]

Hopefully that is the case.
Unfortunately I do not have the means to provide sufficient medical care, anyway.
The closest thing to a bandage I'd even have is just fabric and I have my doubts about how efficient that would even be.

Perhaps I'm looking into this too much, and if I am, by all means correct me, but I'm really doubting that the moment.
I don't understand why that would even be a thing, though.

[knightime]

im fine
its just annoying mostly
kind of like having your shirt rub against open wounds

i have no idea what youre talking about

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah.
Honestly, if you're able, I'd spare yourself the trouble and just not wear a shirt.
Are they extensive?

I'm misinterpreting, then.
No biggie.

[knightime]

i rather not frolic around the tower shirtless
theyre kind of gross looking

no
what
now i want to know what you think youre misinterpreting

[givesyouaboner]

Technically you'd only need to leave your room for meals, right?

That this conversation is awkward for you specifically because it's me?

[knightime]

sitting around waiting for it to heal is a waste of time
i have better things to do than that

...
uh yea
no
i mean no its not awkward
...
haha who the fuck am i kidding
this is more awkward than a virgin reading fifty shades of gray

[givesyouaboner]

I'm sure.
Sitting idly isn't an entertaining in the least, nor is it productive.

If I can be frank for a moment, I wish it wasn't.
I would be lying if I said it wasn't the same for me.
The brocode doesn't explain proper talking-to-a-paradox-bro etiquette.

[knightime]

being productive in this place is easier said than done

idk how to talk to you
sorry
just wasnt really expecting this
this was definitely not on things that i was expecting
this is the last thing i was expecting to happen
except its happening

[givesyouaboner]

I know.

Yeah.
I know that too.
This isn't how I ever expected to meet you.
I was always hoping that if I ever got the chance to meet you, it'd be through the game.
Obviously I can't change that the circumstances are shitty.
I just hope I'm not too much of a disappointment.

[knightime]

what
i didnt even know you were expecting to meet me
jesus tits i really need an update because im apparently behind
wait
hold everything
what
what are you
spoiler
you arent a disappointment
you are probably the last thing to being a disappointment
exuding strider swag
etc
im here shaking like a fucking five year old who thinks theres a monster under his bed
because im trying to not be a total loser in front of you

[givesyouaboner]

_{[It takes a solid minute for Dirk to respond.]}

Dave.
You could never be a loser, especially not to me.
You're the single coolest guy I know.
Regardless of which universe you're from.
You're my hero.

[knightime]

[It takes a bit before Dave seems to reply.]

no im not

[givesyouaboner]

If you wanted, I could list so many heroic qualities.
You're the person I've always looked up to.

[knightime]

i think youre mistaking me for someone else
funny how this alternate universe crap works
were two different people who did totally different things
i guess other me did some pretty cool shit though

[givesyouaboner]

The thing about that is I've found that while alternate people have their differences, the important fundamentals are the same.
My bro rebelled against the Condesce and her regime.
He sacrificed his life when he knew the odds were against him, all in order to oppose something that was inherently wrong.
Rose did too.
For my sake, Roxy's.
I'm absolutely certain you have these qualities.
That when it came down to it, you would make the necessary sacrifices for the sake of the people you care about.
Even if you don't think your actions are significant, they are.
