dusting off a shaky old muse

[technophiling]

Should I remind you that you don't have the time to properly play anywhere or should I instead remind you that you don't have the motivation? Because those are some fairly large hurtles, in all fairness. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely flattered, but you know the sort of dedication required and—

No. Changing your phone's background image to that new picture of me does not constitute a canon review. I'm sorry, it just doesn't.

Try again.

It's something... You should at least give them credit for the effort.

But it's still good to see you around! How have you been? It feels like forever.

[technophiling]

It wasn't really that much effort, though...

I haven't been doing much, to be honest. Just the same as ever, with less being trapped strange places and having terrible things happen than I've gotten used to in the past. Which is good. [At least he's pretty sure it's good, even if it is boring. He's so used to bad luck he doesn't know what to do with neutral luck.] Ah, how are you these days, Läti?

[balzams]

Oh, you know... Getting trapped in strange places and having terrible things happen.

[He wishes he had neutral luck]

Honestly I wish I could sit around and not do much, I'm jealous.

[technophiling]

Don't be jealous. At least you get to— [HE READ THAT ONE THREAD WITH YOU AND UKRAINE] At least you're not alone.

And you're pretty used to being trapped in strange places with terrible things happening, so realistically...

[No stop that's too embarrassing!]

Just because I'm used to it doesn't mean that I like it. But you're right, I really am glad that I'm not alone. I half wish you were there too but I also wouldn't want anyone to go through the same things I did.

Actually... You know, with any luck we should get to go home soon. Ukraine and I were planning on taking a holiday, you should come with us!

[technophiling]

I wouldn't want to be a third wheel.

[Not that he's the jealous type, of course. He's just going to be breathing heavily on your fourth wall a bit, okay? Okey.]

But anything's a little bit easier if you have someone to go through everything with. Isn't that how we got to where we are today? Er, not the horrible places, but the good ones, at home.

[balzams]

[You can't be jealous of him, he's currently being jealous of you. Getting kissed by Ukraine in what was likely not part of a game? So lucky...]

Hmm, I guess so... You wouldn't be a third wheel though! Honestly after all that I think I'd want to see people I hadn't been trapped in a murder house with.

It could be the start of a canon review though.

It's like, such an inspirational picture though.

I'm totally debating getting a new personalized phone case of it. [Trading out sparkly pink for a sparkly nerd.]

Having the nice picture is for inspiration, then.
