It's your experience.

[So it's Dave's choice in words, it's Dave's choice in how to define it. Dirk might suggest or talk it through with Dave, but he is learning better than to try to impose or insist.]

I like that idea. Do we start with the start?

[which is. a laborously boring episode, somehow, but if anyone can find it hilarious the Striders can. also who doesn't want to see an old dude almost smash a guy's head open with a rock?]

[parodeity]

You're the one who likes to do things chronologically, so we probs should.

[ not that dave minds chronological order? he just...tends to not mind it as much since he's spent so much time dropping in and out of it. ]

[splinten]

Hey, I used to make a game of coming up with different orders for the SBAHJ movies.

[Because it literally did not matter what order you watched any of them in, ever.]

[parodeity]

Ok, but that would be because I never make my works have a chronology of any kind, or they have multiple chronologies.

[ because he is a confusing jackass? ]

[splinten]

I'm just pointing out that I'm not incapable of handling a lack of chronology.

[Thanks to.... a Dave who decided to be an ass about this sort of thing without even having time travel as an excuse.]

[parodeity]

You just said you tried to apply a chronology to a thing which didn't have one.

[ honestly it might just be a mindset that applies to All Daves. ]

[splinten]

I said different orders, not chronology. And I also said it was a game.

[Therefore no?

why is this the silly argument they're having now]

[parodeity]

Are you sayin' that your inability to sense the internal chronology that may or may not have existed didn't ever bother you even the slightest bit?

[ his eyebrows are raising, dirk. ]

[splinten]

The lack of any chronology was the joke. Its pursuit was the irony.

[he has opinions about this]

[parodeity]

Is it irony that inspires you to pursue chronology with me?

[ it's teasing. ]

[splinten]

[Get yourself another nudge for that, Dave!]

It's concern for your well-being, and some goddamned masochism with the way it turns out.

[parodeity]

[ he will NUDGE YOU BACK, dirk ]

Masochism because you're tryin' to apply usual time rules to a time player?

[splinten]

[Rude!!]

Masochism because the time player I'm trying to get to follow chronology is, to use the vernacular, a goddamned brat.

[parodeity]

At least call me an asshole, bro.

[ he's mostly. laughing though. ]

Chronology is kind of an artificial construct, anyway.
