[network] @magenta2; voice - morning 286 [open]

[himalayanyeti]

Mm, so, is anyone else here from a very long time ago?

[Magenta apparently decides to leave it at that for a couple minutes, before returning to elaborate on the question with a carefully maintained tone of carelessness to his voice. It's a far cry from what he actually sounds like when he's excited or happy, but to the casual listener, it's probably close enough.]

I mean--you know. I think we're s'posed to be in...twenty-one-and-something, I can't remember the exacts, but is anyone here from long before now? A few folks I've talked to have mentioned they're from twenty-something, early twenty-something, but I don't know about all of y'all.

[A pause.]

I'm from 1891, and I reckon it's all a little new to everyone, but it sure seems like y'all have an easier time of gettin' used to things! Computers, and the nan...nan--nanomachines, and whatever else. I don't really know much about any of it, and I'm not that smart to begin with! It's all past me, and I'm sorry for not bein' much help. I guess what I'm meanin' to ask is how everyone deals with figurin' stuff out from the future.

He~ey, though, while we're on it: tell me about the future! I've heard the airplanes are marvelous. I'm very interested in all of it, even if I can't quite get it.

do you even know what he looks like

portraits and photos cant do him justice

[mrcreamsicles]

no i dont but it doesnt matter
im not into dudes and even if i was the corpse obsession is instant poison to any attractive qualities he could have
they are incompatible from the ground up

[himalayanyeti]

i mean IM not into men either hes just that good looking objectively

[The second half is technically not a lie, but the first is pathetically obvious.]

and its gross so ill give you that. its just the one corpse though he doesnt really make a habit out of that shit its just a very special one

[mrcreamsicles]

whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night bro
the point stands
your taste is shit
and your edition of america is hella fucked up for electing him

[himalayanyeti]

ill agree with that

the fact that he needed someone like me on the regular is pretty fucked up in the first place and while hot and ocasionaly nice hes also terifying and awful and it doesnt really balance out

[mrcreamsicles]

the fact that he needed someone like you on the regular
you want to elaborate on that one

[himalayanyeti]

oh i kill people

not for fun i gotta clarify. i have hobbys and shit i just am very good at it and make a lot of money that way

[mrcreamsicles]

jesus
ok
at least you recognize president carcasslover has issues for needing that
how does a dude like that get elected in the first place
arent there like
laws or something
or is the 1800s just complete nonsense in your edition of the universe

[himalayanyeti]

good polisies like i said

but its not like i was. public or anything it was a side thing he did. me and a few other guys that took care of things for him a real varity of folks that did different things it was just usualy my job to handle the issues that needed my skills. on the down low

he was pretty popular though

[mrcreamsicles]

[Pretty fucked up, so obviously it's time to move onto another topic. One even more fucked up.]

so what was he trying to accomplish with this fancy corpse of his

[himalayanyeti]

oh i dont know he was pretty secret about all of it or maybe i just wasnt paying attention. i know it would help the country but i cant remember how i think it was some famus persons body or something. he said it was a saint but not which so i think he was lying

[mrcreamsicles]

ok so
theres this thing called priorities
do you know what those are

[himalayanyeti]

yes fuck you get to the point

[mrcreamsicles]

if you were going to work with this dude your first priority should have been figuring out what the fuck about that corpse
and then maybe going you know what ive got better things to do with my life than work for him if he keeps that shit secret
especially if the one thing he does tell you sounds like such an obvious lie

[himalayanyeti]

fuck offffff id known him for forever and ever before he asked me to help him with the corpse thing hed taken very good care of me for a long while before he was president even and i owed him a lot so i didnt ask questions and just did my damn job like an adult

[mrcreamsicles]

i didnt realize coming of age turned you into a dumbass

[himalayanyeti]

what the fuck is that supposed to mean

[mrcreamsicles]

it means i dont see what being an adult has to do with keeping up loyalty to valentine when it turns out hes a crazy corpse hoarder whos lying to you about whats up
you say youve known him and hes helped you out and stuff
but theres a limit to this stuff dude
and i think corpse hoarding crosses the line in a major fucking way

[himalayanyeti]

its not like im STILL with him im retired he left me out to fucking die im not doing anything for him ever in my life. im just saying that at the TIME he had been very good to me and i had no reason to deny him on this? i dont see the issue

[mrcreamsicles]

dude
he pulled that
the corpse thing and leaving you to die
and youre still defending him
do you seriously not see the problem going on here

[himalayanyeti]

im not defending him im just saying i dont see your problem with the corpse thing? its a wierd thing to nitpick at i dont get why youre so fixed on it

[mrcreamsicles]

jfc
ok this is officially a you problem not a me problem
can we go back to me bsing you about the future

[himalayanyeti]

no please

explain how this is a me problem at all

[mrcreamsicles]

dude if you dont get it yourself youre never going to get it
if corpse hoarding falls into your shit i can put up with threshold youve got issues
plain and simple
and i am not the shrink to fix you

[himalayanyeti]

well fuck you too buddy
