and they were roommates!!!! but regardless of your changed stance and/or roommate status, i would still like to be respectful so that i may retain dirks continued toleration of my presence because i dont believe we were ever acquainted (or if we were it was only ever in passing and i just dont remember), and i think “hey btw im futurekats blast from the past bestie, do you mind if i plop this comatose angel that may or may not draw the ire of the heavenly forces that be directly to your doorstep while your friend/roommate and i step out to stab eachother? kthxbaiiii” is already a bit much to throw at someone all at once even with their permission!!!!!!!! but as long as said stabbing is done with an actual sharpened weapon and not like, a rusty kitchen knife or a pen or something, then thats all that matters to me

OKAY, BUT FOR THE RECORD. I THINK THAT PREMISE IS HILARIOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT COOPERATION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT IT’S VERY SMART. LIKE HOLY SHIT. I WOULD LET THAT HAPPEN TO ME JUST FOR KICKS.

..YOU MAY BE RIGHT, THOUGH. I’M STILL GEARING TO POP THE QUESTION, WE’RE JUST SORTING OUT SOME DETAILS FIRST. I AM SO GOOD AT CONVERSATION, IT WILL ONLY BE A MERE FEW EXCHANGES BEFORE I ASK IF MY FRIEND AND HER DEAD BODY CAN COME OVER. AND ALSO THE PART WHERE WE STAB EACH OTHER. ROLL CHARISMA.

IT’S LIKE WHAT THEY SAY, THOUGH. MY BODY, MY RULES. IF I WANT TO BE STABBED, THAT’S MY OWN CONCERN!! AND WE’RE BOTH BEING EXTRA SAFE AND NOT RUSTY ABOUT IT, SO YEAH.

OR, WELL. MY MOVES MIGHT BE RUSTY. BUT I WARM UP FAST.

Breaks.

If there’s one in this apartment, there’s got to be more.
If this was going on before we came here, and it was proved that one of us could leave and this place would continue to loop, then I can only assume there’s another charge here.
How would the bubble know if I slept outside of it?
I don’t think it did. 

I’M GOING TO PLAY DEVIL’S ADVOCATE FOR A MOMENT.

BEFORE, ONE OF YOUR POINTS OF FOCUS FOR WHAT WE KNOW WAS THAT “THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BEFORE US.”

BUT WE DON’T ACTUALLY KNOW THAT. THAT WAS AN ASSUMPTION BASED ON IT CONTINUING INDEPENDENT OF YOUR PRESENCE.. WHEN IN ACTUALITY, THIS COULD HAVE EQUALLY INDICATED THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON BEFORE US. THAT THE BUBBLE COULD HAVE BEEN LINKED TO YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME, AND YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULE, WITH NEITHER OF US BEING THE WISER BECAUSE WE WEREN’T HERE TO NOTICE UNTIL NOW.

I AM WILLING TO HELP YOU INVESTIGATE THESE “BREAKS,” BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING FOR INCONSISTENCIES AS WELL, BUT I DO WANT TO RAISE THE POINT THAT THE BUBBLE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO “KNOW” WHERE YOU ARE TO REACT TO YOUR INFLUENCE. IT WAS MADE FOR YOU, AFTER ALL. IT’S A RARE PHENOMENON, WHEN MOST BUBBLE’S EXIST SPONTANEOUSLY. THIS WORLD IS BOUND TO BE UNLIKE THE OTHERS. BOUND TO DIFFERENT LAWS.

im just glad your mission was a success!!!! and futurekaaaat you cant say that you didnt want to make any assumptions regarding emotions and then in the same breath make promises regarding a residence that does not belong to you!!!!!!!! im trying so hard to be polite and responsible, which is obviously my default behavior despite what any prior evidence from any of our numerous previous blogs may suggest!!!! because i am so polite and responsible, i will point out that knives are distinctly unlike hoofbeasts because familiarity does not mean much if the blade isnt sharp, although i guess hoofbeasts also become dangerous if you put increased pressure on them like youd have to in order to use a dull knife, and said dull knife would at least macerate a couple fingers and get pretty close to paste? i dont know, this metaphor is confusing!!!! but the last way you want to increase familiarity with your knife is by becoming familiar with it being lodged in your hand, and sharpening knives is a loooong process

AS MUCH AS IT TECHNICALLY DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, DIRK MAKES A POINT OF INSISTING WE SHARE IT FOR THE TIME BEING, SO I AM CONVENIENTLY CHANGING MY STANCE FOR THIS SITUATION SPECIFICALLY. BESIDES, I CAN ASSUME A LOT OF THINGS, WHEN IT COMES TO HIM. WE ARE EXTREMELY WELL ACQUAINTED.

THAT’S RIGHT.

WE WERE ROOMMATES.

TRUST ME ON MY PREPWORK, THOUGH. SINCE YOU FIRST AGREED TO THE STABS, I’VE BEEN WORKING ON SHARPENING BETWEEN THE PRIORITY MISSIONS. NONE OF MY BLADES WILL BE DULL BY THE TIME THIS IS FINALLY SET UP, WHICH SHOULD BE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AFTER THE NEWEST DEVELOPMENT STABILIZES.

BY FAMILIARITY, I WAS REFERRING MORE TO THE FACT THAT I PREFER TO USE CURVED BLADES. BUT I DO HAVE A BASIC DAGGER AS WELL, IF IT’S CONSIDERED UNFAIR TO VARY TYPES.

beatboxingheart:

What? No. I’ve offered the solution before. Kicking people out isn’t going to solve anything. This place just needs a rearrangement of items. 

But back on topic. 
That’s good then. I’ll figure out a route I’d like at least one of them to take. Brobot is fully equipped to handle any terrain, but Sawtooth is not waterproof. Or lavaproof. 
If you want to take one of them and give them a task to perform that should even out the playing field. I’ll give you access to the GPS system I use for them and you can retrieve whatever data they send. 
… Which sometimes is kind of dumb.
I remember asking Sawtooth to scout for fishing line in the original timeline I was at and he just kept telling me he was finding boots but nothing in my size.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE LOOKING FOR, AGAIN? NOT TO BE NAIVE AS HELL OR ANYTHING, BUT HONESTLY SPEAKING, MY SIDE OF THE PLAN SORT OF DEPENDED ON ME PERFORMING DUBIOUS ACTIVITIES.. SO IF THIS IS A CLEAN SEARCH, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE SENDING THEM SCOUTING FOR?

beatboxingheart:

It.. is getting a little cramped in here, isn’t it?

.. we’re going to have to rearrange this place.

Though I’m not planning on Brobot and Sawtooth staying for long. They’re more useful outside than in.

Ah. But I’m not sure if this loop takes them with it as well.

OH. WELL, IF THOSE TWO ARE GOING OUT, THEY’RE THE BIGGER OF THE BUNCH, SO THAT SORT OF RESOLVES THAT SITUATION. SQUAREWAVE DOESN’T TAKE UP TOO MUCH SPACE. AND NEITHER DOES SEB, HOWEVER BIG HIS PERSONALITY. d8B

I WOULD ARGUE THEY SHOULD BE SAFE, THOUGH. ASMEIR IS. IF SOMETHING COMES UP, I ALREADY WROTE DOWN WHERE I FOUND THEM, SO I CAN JUST ZAP THEM BACK FOR US.

..YOU SHOULD KNOW, THOUGH, THAT IF YOU EVER SUFFER FOR SPACE, I COULD ALWAYS MOVE MY GUYS DOWN A FLOOR OR SOMETHING. I KNOW WE’VE KIND OF BEEN SET UP FOR A WHILE, BUT THEY’RE ONLY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE.

beatboxingheart:

Dude, you were looking for my guys. I couldn’t just let you sit there alone.

And bringing them here. Shit. It’s like Good Christmas where the whole fam shows up.

WELL, THEY ARE YOUR FAMILY, IN A SENSE.

IT FEELS A LITTLE CROWDED IN HERE, NOW, WITH FIVE ROBOTS AND FOUR ENTIRE ORGANICS, EVEN IF PRESENT IS PARTICULARLY SMALL. SHOULD I PREPARE SOME SORT OF LODGINGS IN THE MAIN ROOM?? ASMEIR TOLD ME SOMETIMES IT’S NICE TO HAVE BEDDING, BUT THAT IT DEPENDS ON THE BOT…

tolerate? i mean i know dirk and i were never besties, but as far as i can recall that wasnt because we had any beef unless im forgetting something???? @~@ but i digress! the point is that i want to respect his wishes even if it is a no, because were both smart and creative people who can presumably still find a way to make stabtag happen while also respecting dirks boundaries! and if you do happen to want any knives for stabtag, im sure that i must have something that would fulfill whatever your heart desires!!!!

FUNNY STORY, I FUCKING FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS. MY BAD. I WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH A MISSION!

BUT THE MISSION IS NOW COMPLETE.

IN ANY CASE, I WAS ONLY USING THE TERM TOLERATE SO AS NOT TO ASSUME AND/OR PROJECT AN EMOTIONAL PROXIMITY WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE SERVE AS INACCURATE. YOU’RE BOTH VERY PROMINENT FIGURES IN MY AFTERLIFE, SO I TAKE CARE WITH MY PHRASING. REST ASSURED, THERE IS NO BEEF. THESE GROUNDS ARE BEEFLESS. DOWNRIGHT VEGETARIAN. WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK I’M DRESSED DOWN IN LEAFY GREENS?

WHEN YOU’RE OVER (SINCE IT IS DEFINITELY A WHEN AND NOT AN IF, LET’S BE REAL), YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY KNIVES AND LET ME KNOW IF THEY SUCK OR NOT. I’LL ONLY SWAPSIES IF I HAVE TO. FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR WEAPON IS VERY IMPORTANT! LIKE RIDING A HOOFBEAST, SO I HEAR. IF THAT HORSE DOESN’T KNOW YOU, YOU BEST BELIEVE YOU’RE GETTING BUCKED INTO THE CANYON, SO SADDLE UP AND GET SITUATED WITH YOUR BONDED BESTIE BEFORE A WILD STALLION YOU PICKED ON MANE SHEEN ALONE TURNS YOU INTO A PASTE BENEATH HIS FUCKING SHOES. (HORSE SHOES.)

beatboxingheart replied to your post: “ACCOMPLISHED.”

You did amazing.

OH. YEAH?

HM. I CONSIDER IT A SHARED VICTORY.

I’M SURPRISED YOU ACTUALLY WATCHED ME THAT ENTIRE TIME. IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY BORING. BUT, UH. I HOPE THE RETURN OF YOUR BOTS IS ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR THE HOURS SPENT WAITING.

THANK YOU FOR ACCOMPANYING ME. YOUR PATIENCE, AS ALWAYS, HAS BEEN NOTED AND APPRECIATED.

ACCOMPLISHED.
