We need to talk

You've been way too happy lately. It's scaring me. You've had that stupid grin on your face like a damn cheshire cat since you heard the news about the stories about me that are going to be released–That might be released. It wasn't bad enough you "pre-ordered" every single one of them, but you did it twice just because there was a different cover for the books.

This is getting out of hand. It's two years ago all over again. You do realize that "healthy obsession" you claim to have does have a line and that you not only crossed it, you flew past it like a damn bat out of hell. You better not get your hopes up again like when those "DLCs" you kept hoping for two years ago never came out. I don't want to hear it again. I have enough to worry about without having to babysit you.

There's no such thing as a "healthy obsession" for anything.

Like I said, there's a line and she crossed it big time. I seriously don't have time for this bullshit.

I hear you on that one.

Um...

[ Murphy is scared to even comment on this, but the mun is just insisting. Great... ]

My mun has mentioned something like this before in passing, so I kind of have an idea of what you're talking about. ~~please don't kill me.~~

[Oh Anne is not happy about seeing Murphy. Mainly because his presence has only contributed to the overly happiness of her mun.]

What's it to you, Pendleton?

[Her response was curt, but with reason that she would fail to mention.]

[WHY U SO MAD ANNE?!]

That's the problem with these people. They tend to get a little... overly invested in our lives. [Well, it's a problem with him, in any case. Kids these days with their internet and video games and rock and roll music...]

Better than the alternative, I guess...

[Anne could swear she just had a conversation with him not that long ago, but this time seemed... different. Of course there's the fact this Anne is not aware of multiple universes and the possibility of there being more than one of him, or herself for that matter. She'd just sort of stare for a moment trying to recompose herself as quickly as possible.]

...I've seen before how this type of thing plays out, Pendleton, and doesn't end well. Not for anyone. [especially her.]

I can't possibly imagine how this can be better than any alternative.

[ Angry Anne is angry and Murphy just walked right into a possible bear trap. ]

Just saying is all. Look, I don't want any trouble. If it makes you feel any better my mun's giving me a hard time also. It just seems to be the way it is around here.

I can deal with people giving me a hard time, Pendleton. This is over the top obsessive behavior. It's bordering on disturbing and I don't have time to pick up the pieces when it doesn't end well.

[ Uh... did Anne really just say that? Murphy held back a scoff that would probably get his head blown off. ]

You and I both know there's worse disturbing things to have to deal with. [ bogeymen, murderers, Silent Hill... ]

[Anne was getting more impatient as well as annoyed with Murphy's comments that weren't helping her situation. He was one word away from a bullet to the head, or at least a threatening comment or action against his well being.]

What's your point?

Um... That there might be a bright side to this. Look, it's better than what it could be. That's for damn sure.

I don't know how this could be any better. [and wait, didn't she just finish saying this to him? She was possibly loosing it. Of course this Anne didn't realize the possibility of multiple universes and that there could be another one of him. No, she just... couldn't wrap her head around any of this anymore. ]

... just... leave me the hell alone, goddammit. [she grabbed her head as she felt a migraine emerging.]

[Not to mention a version that's been stuck in a space horror ship for over two years... This is just as weird for him as it is for her.]

Trust me-- [HAHAHA] --it could be worse. Way worse.

((Oh god, Anne would KILL me if I did that to her. I'm already one move away from dodging one of her bullets.))

[Oh he did not just say “trust me” to her.]

You’re one of the last people I’d trust, Pendleton. So you mind elaborating on what your definition of “way worse” is?

[Well, considering she "missed" shooting Murphy at point blank range, I say your odds of survival are looking pretty good HAHAHA-!

[Oh wait...]

...

Oh. [After a couple years it's easy to forget those fun crazy times where she was constantly waving a gun in his face.] Er, well, what I mean is... you could always get, uh... get sent someplace else. Other than here, that is.

[Unfortunately Anne did know what Murphy was talking about this time. She knew of a few other muses in the mun's headspace that had been "sent" to other places, all while griping and moaning in the process. That was the last situation she wanted to be in and he just reminded her.]

Right...

I... [Anne looked away for a moment seeming to have a hard time finishing.] ...I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, Pendleton. [Really, it wasn't like it was his fault. Maybe just being in the wrong place at the wrong time?] A lot of strange things have been happening since I got here.

Hey, no worries. I'm, er... used to it. Things can get a lot stranger than here.

...

You're not about to get shipped off someplace, are you?

[Either way he is so sorry, brosis.]

The mun was thinking of it but fortunately decided not to. For now anyway. God only knows what other sick plans she has for the future. Right now I'm just... [She'd shake her head trying to wrap her head around what she was going to say.]

I can't believe I'm about to tell you of all people this but... I'm just trying to stay alive right now even though it's going to be pointless in the end.

[Well it was true, even if it was only half of the story.]

Well, guess that's g--

Wait. What d'you mean you're just tryin' to stay alive?

[That's some pretty srs bsn, Anne.]

[Oh man, Murphy. You sure you want the answer? Well……]

Things happened between you and I. But it’s not, you and I, per say… Dammit. This doesn’t make any goddamn sense but somehow… There’s another you. It has to be. There’s just no other way to explain it.

[She didn’t want to admit this or face the possibility that it could be true. Anne was about to loose her mind. Despite this, she didn’t want to show it. Especially to Murphy of all people. Maybe she wasn’t nearly in as much control as she wanted to be…

Breathe Anne, breathe…

A pause. A sigh.]

I thought all of this was behind me, but apparently the mun wants me to relive it—The hell, back in that town again. She mentioned something about an “Execution Ending Storyline” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean aside from… well… You can probably take a wild guess at what I'm getting at.

Shit...

[Yeah, he's all too aware of the whole concept of the other outcomes that exist for him. For her. It's not an experience that he cares to relive himself, but he does -- every day.

[He shakes his head.] I... Shit, I'm sorry. It's my fault all of that--

[Words. How do.]

If... it's any consolation, I know exactly how you feel.

Do you? [She spoke almost a matter of fact instead of the usual curt tone she had with him. She'd look away for a moment.]

I guess there's really no point in talking about it since it's not going to change a damn thing. But... [A pause. She'd take that time to look back at him again.]

Thank you, Murphy... For listening.

Yeah, I... kinda got put through the wringer at one point. It was a confusing-- er, experience, I guess you could say.

[Basically he'd gone through every possible outcome and Bad End available for him and it might've turned him into a monster and almost got him killed.

[Got to love being in survivor/horror RPs.]

Well, even if it doesn't necessarily change anything in the long run, I think I've got used to bein' a decent listener.

Guess it's the same with all of these people. I don't understand why they can't just leave us the hell alone.

Funny I'm having this conversation with you of all people. [Especially considering "their" history.]

It's sure as hell not the funniest thing that's happened to me lately.
