I was really hoping you'd know.

[mrcreamsicles]

well too bad because ive only got guesses at best
he revived across town from me before and ive only moved further from there since

[fanboyascended]

I'm not blaming you.

Just. You were his friend. Are his friend. Whatever.

[mrcreamsicles]

and i should have gone back to find him as soon as i heard he was alive instead of fucking around out east
but maybe even that wouldnt have done anything when im the asshole who got him killed the first time

[fanboyascended]

Whoa, no.

You had no way of knowing this was going to happen. You don't even know what happened yet.

[mrcreamsicles]

[No way of knowing, but he said he's got guesses, and they're going through his mind. He already knows Clint had conflict with the Joker. Maybe he caught up to him, maybe they killed each other. But then what? What does he do about any of it?]

[He should have told Clint to do something different. If he could have just changed what happened...]

its not fucking fair
this is why i wish i could still time travel
i could save everyone so much easier if i could just pack more hours in each day

[fanboyascended]

Yeah, maybe. In my experience time-travel just screws everything up more.


Don't put everything on your own shoulders. You said you had guesses?

[mrcreamsicles]

[It's a little later on when he answers again. He's not doing perfectly, but talking to Karkat was enough to jar him out of the space of mind he was in at first.]

its too early to be sure
if im right it will probably come out sooner or later on its own
you want to just talk about why time travel sucks
i know i said i miss it but it messing things up is pretty objectively true from every time traveler ive spoken to including myself

[fanboyascended]

well that's ominous.

[ He's not pushing just yet. Part of him feels like he doesn't have a right to; Clint barely knew him, whatever their relationship was in Billy's time. ]

I'm pretty much always up for complaining about time travel but I'm not sure you're ready for this level of salt.

[mrcreamsicles]

try me

[Anything to get his mind off the worse subject.]

[fanboyascended]

I was reincarnated before I was born and it kind of got more messed up from there.

[mrcreamsicles]

i lived 13 years on earth before i was brought into existence
ditto the more messed up from there too
youre going to have a hard time weirding me out

[fanboyascended]

Magic or science-based mindscrew?

[mrcreamsicles]

hmm
mostly science but some magic too
though thats mostly my sisters domain
im guessing magic for you right

[fanboyascended]

Mostly magic with a little bit of science. When a chaos witch and a robot love each other very much...

That was just for the reincarnation part. Kang the Conqueror was one-hundred-percent mad science.

[mrcreamsicles]

ok im going to need the full story on that
if youre up for sharing which it sounds like you might be but i dont want to presume
you can have mine after if you like

[fanboyascended]

Which part? Because the two are almost completely unrelated, believe it or not.

And I'm... really curious for your whole origin story but I could take a raincheck on it if you want to wait for a day that doesn't completely suck.

[thewarningafter]

Well, actually....

[mrcreamsicles]

ok thing one congrats on being back alive already
thing two the story you told me didnt sound that much like a party strange

[thewarningafter]

It did what it needed to do.

[mrcreamsicles]

same for me
still doesnt mean i enjoyed the necessity

[thewarningafter]

Didn't say I enjoyed it. I just wouldn't say it messed everything up.

[mrcreamsicles]

even despite all the dying?

[thewarningafter]

[He just died after spending several days halfway reliving those deaths. He's been about as far from okay from all that as he can be. ]

Yeah.

Yeah, it's fine.

[mrcreamsicles]

sounds like a hot steaming pile of bullshit to me strange
you want to pick someone more gullible next time
