Comments

[jumpthegun]

All of them had glowing eyes. Mr. Taylor and Dr. Stein still have glowing eyes.

[mrcreamsicles]

are you saying theres others who are back to normal or was it just those two with you

[jumpthegun]

Kid's here, but he hasn't come in to see me. I'm staying put until he and Stein clear off and put whatever distance between us that they need to.

[Although, he does need to let a few people know about Stein's mania. It's become a problem once more.]

[mrcreamsicles]

which kid
theres a ton of em here
kinda fucked up considering what happens

[jumpthegun]

I mean Death the Kid. His name is Kid. Have you met him, yet. He's the lad about your age with white stripes across his hair and golden eyes.

[Also, Davesprite, you and Jade are kids and it's entirely fucked up.]

[mrcreamsicles]

youre telling me there is seriously someone called death the kid here
and on top of that he looks like someone who would belong in an emo band

[jumpthegun]

[Well, yes.]

I'm going to ask you to consider your name and how you look, Davesprite.

[mrcreamsicles]

nah
ive got good reason for this
and that reason is shenanigans i already told you about
plus i had a total normal person name before all this
dave strider sure as shit aint no death the kid

[jumpthegun]

Shenanigans don't qualify as an excuse when you're questioning someone else, mate.

[He doesn't make the rules, bro, just lives by them.]

[mrcreamsicles]

yes they do
i am the weirdest guy here watson
can you really prove me wrong on that front
if anything im in the exact position to be doing the judging
besides my point is that theres a good explanation behind why i am who i am
whats the explanation for him
death the kid
is that a pseudonym or did his parent literally call him that
is he magic
is he a grim reaper but like hip and cool youth edition
ive got burning questions watson
dont deny me the spirit of curiosity
thats how science gets done

[jumpthegun]

He's the son of the Grim Reaper, as I've heard it, and plans to be the one to take over that job eventually. He's very magic.

[Here. He's quenching the flames of your curiosity, bro.]

[mrcreamsicles]

hot damn
this place really does have everything doesnt it
talking animals
literal furries
hans christen andersens 10 year old anime haired ghost
now the grim reapers kid
death the kid
cant get much more literal than that
anyway no ive never spoken to him
tell him a stranger says hi

[jumpthegun]

It's a madhouse, yeah. We carry on, though. I'll remember to say hi from a stranger.

[You know, around the massively awkward conversation they're going to be having.]

Anyway, thank you for checking in with everyone like this.

[mrcreamsicles]

it was kind of on accident
made sense to check if people were still dangerous and no one else had stepped up yet
from there it just turned into the davesprite talks to sad people hour
no one really came out of this well

[jumpthegun]

That sort of happens when mind-control and murder are involved. I'd still like to know what exactly it was that happened. I know they've had time slow down before, but I don't think it's ever stopped, and then somehow got rewound.

[mrcreamsicles]

i doubt time is actually doing anything
its probably our perceptions being fucked with again
remember when it rained a while back except we couldnt see it and we didnt get wet
or any other of the weird visual crap that goes on
not just that either
i traveled all the way out to the split tunnels and started to come back before i got killed
i shouldnt have been able to do that in one night
not that fast
and i couldnt feel the cold at all

[jumpthegun]

If it's perception, though, does that mean the cold is what's fake or that not having it is fake? Because people have really been getting frostbite.

Do you have any signs of it from staying out last night?

[mrcreamsicles]

thats why last night is the problem
i went out and got fucking murdered and all i look like is someone who had crappy nights sleep
no blood
no scuffs
no bruises
definitely no frostbite either
more like some shared mass hallucination even if everything else felt real at the time

[jumpthegun]

[John frowns.]

If it is some sort of computer system we're trapped in... our memories and stuff are meant to be stored on servers. Maybe the Admin can muck with those directly and they're being projected through the system?

I dunno. Sherlock's better with tech, and he's got his homeless network back home to help him with anything he can't sort on his own.

[mrcreamsicles]

what is with you and jumping to ways things could be even faker
didnt we have a whole thing about that last time
come on man
besides im pretty sure most of this is happening in person and not some post apocalyptic run of the matrix
last night was just
i dont know
blame it on the nanomachines

[jumpthegun]

[John winces. He really doesn't mean to, it's just where his mind jumps most immediately, okay?]

Sure. Let's blame it on them.

[And leave it there so he doesn't put his foot in his mouth again.]

[mrcreamsicles]

[Davesprite opts to leave the conversation there. Today has been stressful enough, and he has other people to talk to still about what happened. He can catch up with Watson again when things are preferably less awful.]
