[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.

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]

can we go back to me bsing you about the future

[himalayanyeti]

[mrcreamsicles]
