[sorry buddy it's been a time

he'll just give a half-hearted wave tho. maybe u can catch him later when he's Not smoking, just staring into the sunset tiredly.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[It's been a time.

Well if Levity's still there on his way back to the dorms on the same route then that sure is a reason to check in. Even though he scrunches his nose up for the smell of smoke and stands a little further than he would normally. Gross. Putrid flesh caves? fine and good. cigarettes? the absolute worst.]

Not taking the games well?

[weenwoon]

[That's ok, you can yell at him from fifteen feet away. I assume that's a big enough distance I don't know imperial]

Among other things. You?

[auguryofinnocence]

[it's ok canada's weird and does both. height is imperial but distance is metric, ovens are fahrenheit but weather is celsius. and yet I simply do not know what the heck a yard is or how to convert f to c.

Anyway he's probably like 2 or 3 meters away or something, not absurd but definitely giving it some space. He shrugs.]

I haven't had any issues personally.

[But. Glory. Ascians. He's livid about it all anyway.]

[weenwoon]

[oh canada..............]

...I had to sew Angel back together after the game. And... before that, I had to kill my girlfriend in the behead game because otherwise I would have to kill Lily. Jason thinks we hate him and he's gone into hiding. Also, me and Five hate each other now, probably. And Alexander told me what happened to our world, so now I can't take any more memories because I'm too scared I'll remember the Final Days and some part of me remembers anyway and it's just this endless existential horror at the back of my mind and sometimes I think that all of this is just the result of my mind's feverish attempts at cogitation in my last moments before death and none of this is real. And if I stay alone long enough I'll lose my grip on even this imagined reality completely and then I'll be gone for good.

[sorry if you were expecting like, a normal answer.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well like some of that he expected more or less since he knows about the games and all but. Sure didn't know Emet told him. Or about fighting with Five. Let's, uh, take it from the top?]

...I see. Well, as far as I can tell Jason does that all the time, if you don't hate Five then you can't hate each other, and you are most certainly not in some imagined false reality though such ideas can be tempting in traumatic situations.

[weenwoon]

...Just because he doesn it all the time doesn't mean that it's--alright. And fine, it's Five who hates me. Or if you want we can amend it all to "dislike each other strongly".

[He polarizes a random pebble to his hand to yeet into the distance.]

And I don't know about that last part. It would explain a number of things.

[auguryofinnocence]

A convenient explanation, but isn't that a disservice to the rest of us, then? To merely be inventions of your mind.

[weenwoon]

If you are real, yes. If you are not, no.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well I can assure you I am real. Do you think your mind would come up with all this? Perhaps a concept such as this place, but something like my family?

[weenwoon]

[Okay, that gets a small smile from him.]

I don't know. If I had, you would probably have been a little taller.

[auguryofinnocence]

That's right, shouldn't we all be fifteen feet tall if that is what you're used to? At the least I should be taller than you.

[weenwoon]

Why do you think you'd be taller than me?

[auguryofinnocence]

Because.

[He said so. What else do you need.]

[weenwoon]

[don't be five at him!!!!]

That's not an argument. Besides, I was taller than Alexander.

[auguryofinnocence]

Alexander is only that tall because of the particular form he inhabits now. If I scaled to the height of your people I would clearly be taller than most, given my human form is taller than most humans.

[weenwoon]

Most, not all.

[auguryofinnocence]

Most, yes. It is extremely rare, however. I stand by my assessment.

[weenwoon]

Well. Whatever makes you happier.

[auguryofinnocence]

Good. You should know I'm always right.

[weenwoon]

[Do Not Be Five. He winces.]

...Please don't start.

[auguryofinnocence]

What?

[weenwoon]

You sound like Five.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well first of all of course I do, we are much the same but in particular hard headedness is a Taisho trait.

More importantly, do I sound terribly serious?

[weenwoon]

Not really, but he sounds like he's just being half-sarcastic most of the time, too. Which is partly why things turned out like this.

[He's going to find something else to fling into the distance. He's just kinda been out here disconsolately throwing pebbles and various debris from his pockets into the sunset.]

But I admit, it sounds comforting rather than insulting from you.
