Oh hey, what's up?

[There's a pause, perhaps you should tell him why you called. At least until he interrupts...]

Hey, that's cool, but guess what?!

[Another short pause, perhaps you should guess what is so important that John felt the need to interrupt your surely riveting story.]

I am not actually here right now! So leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

[You cannot hope to beat John Egbert in a prank-off. He is simply the best there is.]

Hehehehe...you totally fell for it, didn't you?

[Beep!]

because he has a boner for an english man

...well that'll do it, i suppose.

its really obvious if you watch them
youre going to kick yourself for not seeing it sooner

well, in my defense i haven't really seen them together much?
the only chance i had was at the party and i had other things on my mind at that point.
i barely saw either of them.

yeah but my point is
he understands
where as bro really doesnt
he doesnt get what i see in terezi either
as a friend or anything else
oh
and dont ask dirk for help with bro
they have this weird rivalry mindfuckery hoo doo going down
you couldnt pay me enough to wade into that

he's going really gung-ho with this dad thing isn't he?
is ANYBODY good enough for his kids?
don't worry, i didn't plan on it.
i barely know dirk so it would be kind of weird to just suddenly dump my problems on him just because they happen to be with his alt self.
alright, so what else do i need to know about bro?

yeah he is
i think he just wants to do his best at it
like
ok he didnt do the best with me
in fact some of it still gives me nightmares
but he did what he could
and i think hes trying to do the same here??

i need to have a talk with him when were face to face again
i think to the adults in general
they see us as thirteen
only were not
weve been through some SHIT
were even getting past that point where we used to think adults were gods
they still wreck our shit
i think they always will
but bro
i dont think hes used to having so many people to look to
hes afraid youll take rose away
when hes barely begun to know her
its stupid
but feelings arent always rational are they

i dunno, man. i think you turned out pretty ok.
so he can't have done too bad a job. :)

can we really blame them for that though?
you two WERE 13 the last time they saw you. pretty sure my dad would be the same way if he were here.

[He...might be a little jealous of you and Rose for that, Dave. Maybe just a little.]

but yeah, you're right. on both counts.
that's stupid, because i have no intention of keeping rose all to myself.
i'm not that selfish or controlling.
but i can't blame him because emotions are stupid like that.
but i also can't help but be a little mad at him anyway because he didn't really seem to have a problem with me before he found out about rose and i.
beyond thinking i have a boner for ghosts, i guess.

i dont blame them for it
make no mistake here dude
i appreciate it
i never had anything like this before
hey no telling your dad might show up at some point

see this is where you need to tell him that
after saying sorry
because like it or not
he is the adult
he was right about that part
dude before he knew about you two you were my best friend
and he was fine with that
suddenly you were this threat who could take away what he just got
if i was in his shoes id be polishing my katana in plain view of you and showing you how sharp its edge is
provided i didnt know you

Edited 2013-02-09 00:29 (UTC)

yeah i know he was right. like i said, i already feel bad about sassing him like that.
should have kept my mouth shut for another second and really thought about what i was saying.
that said...i'm guessing i probably shouldn't repeat any of the stuff you just said, should i?
mostly the stuff about him thinking i'm going to take rose away.

[He's just going to skip over the part about Dad. Because at this point, even John is starting to give up hope on that front. It's been two years, after all. And at this point, he's the only guardian who hasn't been brought here for real.]

it would be the same deal if you were dating me
actually
no that would be ten times worse
you got off light
just
remember that

...how light?

he told me i have to strife when the time comes for me to want to settle down
and thats just for me
take a second
ponder this
when you cant stand the sudden sense that your life is over
triple the feeling
and thats about one fourth of how bad it would be

well that seems a little backwards.
i would have thought he would make your intended strife to the death on the roof, not you.
that's pretty heavy though.
note to self: when talking to bro, leave out the part where i'm only dating rose because i can't have you.

see thats the thing
i have to prove im serious and not being ironic
then you have to prove youre serious and dont just want to hit that
because lets be honest here
who doesnt want to tap this
but yeah leave that out when you go have a man one on one talk

wait wait, hold on.
was that another joke or does he actually think that that's the only reason i'm dating rose?

it was a joke
i think hed be fine with you if you were just dating
the marriage bit scares him
idk maybe because he goes through all these bad scenarios in his head
chill out ok

[Oh good. Crisis averted.]

i'm chill!
chiller than a slushie in the middle of winter in the arctic.
inside a cooler.
yes.
anyway, thanks.

any time
just remember
hes a person too and for as scary as fuck as he can be
he means well

between you and me?
your mom is scarier.
you tell anybody i said that though and i will have chandel set fire to everything you love.

[IT TAKES A WHILE FOR HIM TO REPLY.]
hahahahahahahahaha

omfg why did i tell you that.
what was i thinking.
i am examining my life and my choices and already i regret this last choice i just made.
along with a couple of others.
but mostly that last one.

hahahaha holy shit im dying
rip dave strider he laughed himself to death

now its not that im saying your wrong
the idea of mom mad is scary
but she keeps trying to show you that she doesnt plot your death or anything
or maybe plans to be there when you wake up with a knife and grinning down at you
thats more like bro
and rose

brb gotta go find a shotgun.
because you've obviously come back as a zombie in order to send me this message.
and i promised i would shoot you if you turned.

i don't think she plots my death or anything she's just...
look when you start dating someone and their parent(s) show(s) up, you'll get it.

[Btw, Dave, you ever plan on telling him about you and TZ?]

no no i get it
you just really dont want to disappoint her
i know the feeling its just different
because im not dating my sister

i havent turned ok
until im a drooling rotting mess you cant blast my brain out
i know youre eager for it but damn put that finger off the trigger
now that your probs are talked about

did you see what karkat and i talked about in the whole honesty thing way back
