[parodeity]

Yeah, maybe. Some people can handle it. Some...can't, or don't get why I just keep quiet about it. [ a shrug. he FINALLY finishes off his pasta... ]

[windeity]

[And so he sends the check away to be put on his card.]

People like believing in stuff or thinking of easy fixes. Movies and shit have made time travel to be a fix. I don't doubt they think the same about your aspect.

[parodeity]

Yeah, pretty much. I suck as an advance warnin' thing because if you do anything different then I'm fucked? I mean, that is the entire point of time players, really, but I would prefer to avoid killing myself so some other dave and everyone else can do a little better. Especially because I am not entirely sure that aspect of my power is intact.

[windeity]

I would also prefer to avoid you killing yourself so maybe let's not do that? [But he looks curious.] You think you're still missing pieces of your aspect even after all this time?

[parodeity]

I don't know. I like...don't...want to test out the immortality shit? Or the doomed Daves.

[windeity]

Yeah. You and me both. [The check comes back and he signs the receipt, taking his card to go back into his wallet before moving to catch Dave's hand.] Just...don't test shit that means you won't come back. You and me both. Okay?

[parodeity]

[ the "both" relaxes him a little. ] There's only one situation in which I'd throw caution to the wind. ...And hopefully it never comes up. So.

[windeity]

If it's the same one I am thinking of, I'm not sure I could let you. So...let's hope it doesn't come to that. [But there's a smile.] Come on. No more talking about this dumb shit. Ready to go home? I have a song waiting for you.

[parodeity]

It may or may not be. [ he'd only throw away his life for

anyone else's

he's not picky, shit. ]

But let's go. I want to hear the song and maybe fuck around a little. Video games?

[windeity]

[There's another Look but he doesn't argue, standing and taking Dave's hand to lead him out of the restaurant.]

Right. I think that sounds perfect, actually. [And away they go to do this.]
