[splinten]

Wait. What happened to Ben Stiller's shades?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT???]

[parodeity]

left em with karkat and i assume hell hold them hostage while i casually refuse to tell him what two hours equals
ill steal them back later probably

[splinten]

Dave. Stop being an asshole to your boyfriend.

[parodeity]

ill tell him later in person

[splinten]

Is there a reason you're not going to him in person now?
Aside from being an asshole.

[parodeity]

im going to talk to him now in person
later

[splinten]

Rose is right. The game gave you time powers to punish the rest of us.
You should talk to him now, without looping. We can talk when you're done if you still want to.
What have you eaten or drank in the last hour relative to your personal continuity?

[parodeity]

i need to talk to you first
hes going to want to know how this goes anyway
and if we put this off were not going to talk about it for a while
and or i will unpsych myself up whichever comes first

water and apples i said im at the farm why would i not be eating apples

[splinten]

All right. I'll be there soon.

Because you're a fucking idiot.

[parodeity]

i didnt starve myself in two hours

[splinten]

It wasn't two hours.

[Don't be full of shit? Dirk has his shades on so he can head over to the farm while also calling out Dave. Thanks, hands-free communication.]

[parodeity]

it was exactly as long as it needed to be

[splinten]

It makes your argument about not starving within the span of two hours a specious one.
Like the vast majority of your arguments.

[parodeity]

dont tell me youre going to complain until i tell you what two hours equals too

[splinten]

I would let you get away with simply assuring me that you took care of yourself, in the sense of finding proper shelter, eating and drinking a healthy amount, and looking after your illness.
By now I've worked out that any claim that you did so would be cleverly worded but ultimately obvious bullshit.

[parodeity]

did you know its possible to answer a question with like one word
i dont know if anyone told you

[splinten]

No.

[parodeity]

im taking that a no to wanting to know how long two hours is btw

[splinten]

It isn't.

[What's that? It's your brother, out of the tunnel that he built specifically for you. He takes his shades off (fair is fair) and he really just looks mostly tired. Better, because expressing his hatred for Kaufman is always a good way to spend a few hours. But tired.]

But I'm considering that something we can deal with later.

[parodeity]

[ i mean, at least dave is over his being sick now so he looks semi better but mostly super neutral? he is just lying under one of the apple trees kind of staring up at the dome although he tilts his head towards dirk when he approaches. ]

That'd be best or you're just gonna get mad again.

[splinten]

[Okay. He can tell this is going to be tough from the start. He walks over to Dave, and then he sits down beside him, crossed legs, hands resting in his lap. He counts time in his head.]

I'm sorry for how I dealt with that. I shouldn't have threatened Cal's death or insisted on doing this as a necessity. I'll try not to pull that shit again.

[parodeity]

Nah, it's not your fault.

[ since it was dave who reacted badly to dream cal and froze up at the mention of not-dream cal ]

Rose said I should copy-paste what I said to her to you.

[splinten]

That sounds absurd.

[He lifts his wrist.]

My communicator is ready for it any time.

[parodeity]

I'm not actually gonna copy-paste it.

[ mostly because he occasionally gets too honest with rose when he isn't spouting complete bullshit at her and getting it in return.

but also because he kept using the word hellpuppet ]

- I'm actually not sure if I should even explain it now because I don't think I should talk to you about shit that went down with Bro any more? So instead I will sum up and say I don't want you to cut yourself to pieces for me. Which I already more or less said but whatever.

[splinten]

[There's a little lurch in his stomach. He tries not to let it overwhelm him.

He closes his eyes. Despite everything, he speaks calmly.]

I know you remember asking me not to go away. You asked me not to shut you out.

Please don't do that to me.
