Who: A bird and you
Broadcast: Y
Action: Wonderduck, if you wanna
When: At ass o'clock in the AM

guess im just wondering
because its kind of hard to tell between abrupt disappearances and people lapsing into comas for days
or sometimes weeks
but how long has it been since you went back where you came from
or remembered something that you didnt before
and how long would it take before you get the feeling youre not gonna go back again

[Naval gazing at three in the morning in the Wonderduck kitchen is a go.]

Comments

are you crying
should i bring you a box of kleenex or something

[ Isaac is awake at three in the morning which is a miracle in and of itself, but it's likely Davesprite's fault anyway. Who needs a regular sleeping schedule. He might also not be taking his friend seriously, whoops. ]

[feathery]

why are you awake
all you do is complain about how you never get to sleep but here you are
awake in the dead of night
pretending that actually means something in space
im never respecting the hours you keep ever again

[bluediligence]

[ Sleep? What's that? Aoko's been playing around with robot parts in her room for the past few hours, and she's got no intention of crashing anytime soon. ]

Remembered something you didn't before, huh. Does that happen a lot here?

[feathery]

depends i guess
happened to a friend of mine all the time
she hit her head once and her brain got double stuffed by a concussion and all the horseshittery youd expect from dealing with like three sets of memories that happened simultaneously

[ladybro]

Why? Do you feel like you're not gonna go back again?

[feathery]

i dunno
its a dumb thing to discount maybe
honestly with the way my life has gone id probably disappear off yonder into the interdimensional stew or something equally contrary if i thought i wouldnt

[ladybro]

Not dumb. Just a little pessimistic. I still hold out hope we'll get back to where we ought to be.</big?

[feathery]

eh well theres not really anywhere ive got to be anymore
which
sounds more dramatic than i meant it to be but oh well
imagine me saying that in the most flippant way possible thatll help tone this shit down to manageable conversational levels

[ladybro]

Dead back home?

[ so much for 'manageable conversation levels'. ]

[feathery]

nah
see what i mean by dramatic?
its just overcomplicated bullshit you dont want me to get into trust me

[ladybro]

Hey. I'm breezy. Sounds more like you're the one who doesn't wanna get into it -- which I respect.

[robitussin]

tip

to avoid existential crisis, go to sleep

[feathery]

hahaha no i mean
for real it doesnt even make sense to most of us who lived through it
i wouldnt even know where to fucking start trying to explain the shithole that spawned me and my friends through idiotic video game shenanigans

[ladybro]

Fair enough.

[frigidaire]

like you ever respected them before dude
but i cant sleep anyway newtons in here
he wants to play

[feathery]

its too late
ive wandered too far down this road to turn back now
ive become the very horror i always stared at in fascination from afar
aka that dude who asks suspiciously specific questions online

[robitussin]

you can still fix this

just get someone to knock you out

[feathery]

so how long has it been for you

[feathery]

and thats exactly the kind of suffering you deserve
so are you just here to nag me about shit ill probably regret all on my own come morning or what

[ladybro]

Since February. I've been here the whole time -- no memory dumps. Or whatever.

[feathery]

i dont trust him
hed probably poke me in the face with his claws

[robitussin]

who are we talking about here

should i be concerned (i mean the answer is yes but about this clawed person specifically)

[feathery]

thats a pretty long time
its been over two and a half years for me
something like that

[feathery]

nah you dont need to worry about him
isaacs just a werewolf so sometimes he sprouts claws
it looks dumb as hell but hes not even contagious

[ladybro]

...You've definitely got me beat. Have you been remembering things?
