What else? then the cage bunny came he gave us the bomb whered he go anyway She's around. the bunnys a she Her name is Liv Tyler. dumb Take it up with John. What else? we were talking about who should go Do you remember what we decided? no wait wasnt i going to go is that what happened did i go and now im dead Not quite. whats not quite that i didnt go or that im not dead Do you remember anything else? no What about why you went to fight Jack? sure i did that because i wanted to and because i was supposed to Are you sure? yeah i saw my future self fighting him so obviously that had to happen or else id be dead anyway without even getting the satisfaction of standing up to him So was your decision a result of desire or obligation? hard to explain with all the time shit going on i dont try to understand your light shit do i I don't know much about the Light Shit, to be honest. I may have missed my chance to figure it out. havent we had this conversation already Mostly. I'm doing what I can to jog your memory. its jogging i guess its manboobs are jiggling a little Nice. So what about Jade? what You didn't tell her your expedition with her would result in your death, let alone one she'd inadvertently cause. Or that she'd be stuck with the job of resuscitating you. Did you? what am i really supposed to say hey were gonna hunt frogs til you shoot me through the jack then i die and youve got to make out with me that kind of changes how the whole thing goes doesnt it Not if you're "supposed to," right? what does that even mean I guess you're right. No reason to make an effort to empathize if doing so comes at the price of oblivion. wtf It must be comforting to have your ASPD tacitly supported by predestination. aspd Antisocial personality disorder. oh no this conversation just got bumrushed by a mudslide of fucking awful It wasn't already awful, believing you might be dead? you dont know anything about what i was feeling or what happened on lofaf you were all pavement faced and babbling your throefester speak and flipping off the shit with your own crazy deathwish thing why do you think you know what was going through my head youre just assuming and throwing around psyche buzzwords like aspd complex disorder So it's a disorder, a complex, and then a disorder again for good measure? in your case probably Sounds like a positively delirious state of existence. its some delirious biznasty alright Oh... snap? yes ima authorize a GOD DAMN you may swipe it at the door to check yourself into the burn ward Might you loosen the purse strings on an "Oh no he didn't?" nah those are kept in emergency reserve for yo mama jokes from the 90s anyway im telling you if i said anything at all about it she probably doesnt even fire her gun once and all im doing is dragging her into a doomed timeline with me I guess I'm learning to be impressed by your sense of obligation to inevitable misfortune. It's a strange case of inspiration through futility. none of this is that big a deal i just mentioned the basics to her that id stop time traveling soon break out of the loops not have to wonder all the time if i was taking a wrong turn and dooming everybody i was never that cool with this With what, exactly? you know how you turned out to be this incredibly shitty seer of light and basically failed at that in every way imaginable Hey! well maybe i never wanted to be a knight of time maybe id rather just be like the dave of guy you know just some dude These really do not sound like the words of someone ready to face his own death. The kind you don't wake up from, I mean. i guess not guess i failed my quest then so im like now what bitches to nobody in particular i guess The unseen bitches callously conspiring to expect greatness from you? yes those exact bitches If that's how you feel, Then why did you insist on going on the mission to deliver T h e T u m o r ? Black-and-whitened for giant yin-yang bomb.
