I received a message from our dear put-upon father to check on you.
Care to share why you've casually temporalized yourself to the past to "gather supplies"?
Because I assume that the reason is not, of course, to gather supplies.

[ she will try to straight find him but presumably he'll ninja away like an asshole. ]

talk to you in two hours rose

[ lmao sorry he'll reply to her next text in exactly two hours though promise ]

[ her eye roll is so strong dave can probably feel it ]

Very well then.
But a moment more and I may have to be rude and hunt you down.

[ two hours later: ]

remember the evil possessed puppet from our tower in derse

Yes.

Also, in addition to Dirk's concern apparently I'm invited to your corpse party hosted by Karkat. You're popular today.

yeah i figured he was gonna do that

anyway
said puppets alt universe version showed up
i may have flipped out a little bit

His dramaticism is rather predictable.

Ah.
How much is "a little bit", in more exact terms?

he wanted to destroy the evil hellpuppet as a sign of his love or whatever even though it was obvious that was not a thing he wanted to do at all
we disagreed obviously because i felt that was dumb as fuck
and he felt it wasnt

i attempted to get jake to point out this was dumb
argued with dirk some more
he threatened to execute cal if i didnt come to a dumb trap meeting
i didnt take an order via bro very well
shenanigans ensued

how has your day been

So, in other words.
You're both varying degrees of idiots.
Why not let him destroy the puppet? It would certainly be in your favor since you dislike it (or at least, it's alt self) so heartedly.
Though, I suppose "why" could also be directed at Dirk for trying so hard to do something "for" you that you found an unnecessary gesture of your fragile bond.
Hm. Though the threatening on his part was certainly a poorly thought out plan, since it would be in the opposite of working on your relationship, I imagine.
Have you two considered, perhaps, calming down and discussing things rationally from the get-go?

Better, apparently. I always do enjoy a party invitation. I hope there are refreshments. Do you think I should write you a eulogy?

because he thinks he has to get rid of anything that bugs me
i dont know how to get him to realize that bugs me
the whole
cutting himself to pieces just because of me thing
ive done that before rose
it hurts and it doesnt help anyone
its not a thing i want to fucking cause
i can deal with the hellpuppet
dont tell anyone i keep calling it that btw i guess that makes my point less emphatic
but the point is
of course i didnt consider calming down and discussing things rationally from the get-go i needed a while to come to that conclusion

if you dont write me the best fucking eulogy ever im disowning you

That's certainly not healthy. For either of you.
Have you tried saying that? As in, "Dirk, you trying to take yourself apart to earn my good will is not something that I want from you. I'd rather you just be you, but not an asshole." ?
Though perhaps that would be too on the nose for either of you.
I suppose offering a group therapy session would be a no go?

Hm. It pains me to say this since I still think what you did was stupid and reckless, but taking yourself away from the confrontation when you knew you weren't handling it, so that you could later come to that conclusion is actually a good thing. Continuing the rather pointless, harmful argument would have done neither of you much good, nor your relationship. Taking yourself out of the situation temporarily isn't the worst thing you could have done.

Of course, that would be the only appropriate reaction. I'll be certain it meets your high standards and expectations.

no because i cant figure out how to say it
ill try saying it again later
now
whichever
also no i dont want a group therapy session rose

oh my god are you sick
did you just say that i actually did a good thing
re dealing with a thing
even if you think it was dumb

Dave, you could literally copy and paste those exact words.
Or I could help you write a more Dave Strideresque draft?
I thought not. Maybe one of these days you will relent, and we will all have a lovely and painful time.

I know, I can hardly believe it either. Perhaps I should have my temperature checked? I should go lie down. Bring me a bowl of soup, if you would.
Yes, it was still dumb, though. But removing your negative self from the declining situation until you could return with a positive resolution is actually a passable coping mechanism.
Still, it'd be better to find a way to handle yourself without upsetting all of your loved ones in one fell swoop.

i probably wont have to do it again
i can take it now so its okay

anyway
whats up

Right.
Well, let me know if you change your mind.

[ or if striders stride themselves into stupid again, because it will clearly happen again. ]

Well, I didn't fight with my father-brother about a puppet. I did place a wager with Karkat regarding your stupidity and penciled you in for group therapy before the next three universes we inhabit decay from entropy, optimistically.
I do still need a gift for mom, however. I keep beginning such endeavors then undoing them, as they fail to rival Zelda. Do you have any suggestions?

uh
id suggest cloning a real cat but neither of us sciences well enough for that
maybe we can find her a real cat?
