[ ... except he did have some smuppets stashed away in his sylladex so dave is not far off in his assumption. ]
I have pretty much unloaded my sylladex, so that gives me some color to work with. But man, depressing is right. At least Pleasantville had a native population and wasn't in a state of disrepair. This is like the worst knockoff ever.
True. The monsters here are more fun than that. But getting to experience some kind of society would have been fascinating. Although probably not for very long.
[ look, he just has a natural inclination to Fight Everything. he can't help it. the monsters are a nice change from the skeletons he's been fighting for months. ]
Do what exactly?
[ like oh god, did he miss a cue or a question?? ]
[ OH. oh man, he has no idea how to bond like normal people do in such a setting, but he'll take every opportunity he can get to hang out with someone who will actually want to. especially dave. ]
Yeah, sure. I'd love to. Just name the time and place and I'll be there.
ok like full disclosure i am not a great cook and am still only in the process of learning to like be less sucky but like we could do lunch every other day or something keep in touch
[ it's mildly terrifying but hey. he should try, so he will. ]
That's fine. I'm not that great either. But if we're going to do this every other day, I could make something too. That only seems fair. Mostly I know how to cook fish. If you don't mind fish and I can get my hands on some.
trade off works also i dont mind fish or like any form of food really im pretty sure there are fish like all the animals theyre mutated but they seem fine to eat none of us have dropped dead from eating them yet anyway also some of them have flavor but idk which ones
I'll see if I can figure out which of them have flavor. Did you want to switch between your place and mine too? Or is John cool with having me over that much, possibly bearing smelly gifts of fish?
we can switch if youd feel more comfortable john probably wont mind but ill ask him he does like 95% of the cooking so he might not mind not being the sole kitchen maestro or maybe he likes that hes very into domestic shit which isnt really that weird if i think about it playing host is fun for him i think and its not like its foisting a permanent houseguest on the dude
I don't mind either way. I just don't have a lot of useful stuff for cooking around just yet. Or much of anything in the way of furniture, to be honest. But John sounds a lot like Jane then. She would dig playing host too and she's the only one in our group any good at domestic shit. Probably on account of the rest of us having to raise ourselves.
[ oh no, you've given him the chance to gush about a friend. HOPE UR PREPARED... ]
Really? That's such a shame. Jane is an amazing friend and in general just an amazing person all-around. I don't know what my life would have been like without her in it. Bleaker, for sure.
[ actually, dave's bro has given him an inkling but welp, let's not get into that. ]
She's one of the bravest people I know. Gutsy, even. Like she won't take shit from anyone and she can be a bit of stubborn skeptic, but she has a great sense of humor and a love for old-fashioned pranks and practical jokes. I've yet to meet someone with wit as sharp as hers.
Honestly? She can be both. But I might be biased because she digs my sense of humor and she's the one who tolerates my off tangent ranting most. Not to mention she expresses sincere interest in the study of irony. I wish you could meet her. And Roxy. Roxy would have been so excited to meet you.
yeah we saw her that once time sleepwalking floating sleepfloating but rose said we probably couldnt wake her up so we didnt and anyway then it became a moot point but like that sounds kinda like john in a mirrorverse he puts up with me and finds me entertaining he thinks irony is dumb tho but i like that
Yeah, she did the sleepfloating thing a lot. I never could get her to stay on Derse for long. Who knows how many zany adventures she had without ever even realizing it. But John seems like a cool guy. He does remind me of Jane, but also of Jake a lot and I don't mean that just appearance-wise. Like he's easy to get along with too.
jake reminds me a bit more of jade i mean hes like john but they have that same quality i dont know how to explain it but i guess it makes sense since theyre "dancestors" or whatever dumbfuck term we settled on for that whole relationship sometimes i feel like i shouldnt bother to learn the lingo because its 100% made up and it makes us sound like idiots
I didn't really get to meet the real Jade, but I wanted to. Too bad she was asleep and it's not like there was time for talking to everyone anyway. Does she speak with a lot of old timey slang as well or is that a Jake-exclusive thing? And I never did get a grasp on the ways everyone is related.
no she talks like a hyperactive teenager which is like accurate but she has that same sort of rides a conversation in her own direction and youre welcome to come along but if not oh well sort of vibe which im not saying as a negative thing obviously bc i adore jade but like its just a factoid of how it goes tbh john can be kinda stubborn too but i think hes more cognizant of it sometimes when he does that
i do kinda get how were all related but only bc rose lectured me and also i know how all you all were related to us pre scratch and how the ectobiology shit happened i mean not the EXACT details but i know who is responsible for my genetic makeup and everyone elses in our group anyway god only fucking knows what the trolls got up to
That sounds familiar, yes. I hope I can meet her some day. I've heard and read a lot about the version of her in my universe and she was pretty damn badass. But it's good that John's cognizant of it. Like I'm sure Jane is too, but she's a force of nature and it's best to let her get to the correct conclusion or whatever by herself.
I know we're related through an esoteric process of genetic reamalgamation, but that's about it. I would love to hear about the details if you're up for explaining it. Maybe over lunch?
yeah sure ill make you an ectobiological family tree master a life skill that will absolutely not come in handy ever but maybe you can have bragging rights for it or smth

Yeah, sure.
I'd love to.
