homeless and looking, but apprehensive of season finale

[deerstalks]

Stop thinkin' it's "cool" or whatever the hell words you use inside that head o'yours, 'cause it ain't. Your timing's screwed all to hell; you've got one day to go and this season's all done then, but you couldn't wait that long to set me up in here?

You're fuckin' dumb, is what you are. Anyone could die at any time, I tell you, any damn one of us; there's no guarantees. There's no "safe". Get that through your head, kid.

[Oh.]

...Fuck me sideways, what the shit.

[His face is all blank, but you can probably tell what he thinks about that.

Sophia.

He could've done more.]

[nowastedshots]

It's a goddamn trip, isn't it?

[he thinks it every night. blames himself he never saw the signs of her being brought back to the farm, it's just another failing]

[deerstalks]

I'm not high, and I didn't hit my head.

How are you here?

[It's like Dale's throwing his words back at him, when he thinks about it - he didn't see it because he didn't want to.

It was more than just about finding her. That's a terrifying thought.]

[nowastedshots]

Damned if I know. Maybe we're dreamin'.

[but it's easier to hide and say he doesn't care anymore than admit what's really bothering him]

[deerstalks]

[Dixons don't do feelings, man.]

Dreamin'.

Must've ate somethin' awful if I'm dreaming 'bout myself, then.

[nowastedshots]

[it's like a motto]

Heh. There's worse shit to dream about, brother.

[deerstalks]

[Merle would be so proud.]

Don't gotta dream them half the time, if wanna be accurate.

[nowastedshots]

[/wipes a tear]

Dreamin's almost better than wakin' with the way the world's gone to shit. Half the time I'm not sure why I even bother closin' my eyes. It's all the same bullshit.

obviously i'm an awful human being

[deerstalks]

[/with his stumpy hand]

Can't hunt when you can't see.

Can't see when you're sleep-deprived.

osudbgosubg I just lost my shit, not gonna lie

[nowastedshots]

[oh the sadness]

I'm not fool enough not to sleep. And I know damn well this broken ass group won't be able to help me. Figure having two of me around would at least be better'n one.

whoops there

[deerstalks]

[poor old hand, we knew ye well]

Just 'cause we look the same doesn't mean I trust you as far as an arrow can fly. You know that, right?

/pat

[nowastedshots]

If you did I'd shoot you on the spot.

[deerstalks]

Good man.

[They don't need a lot of words, anyway.]

[nowastedshots]

You'd do the same.

[they really don't. which is why it also goes without saying that he knows Other Daryl will keep himself safe

they're bros like that]

[deerstalks]

[selfbros! ...this is more Glenn's thing, isn't it]

I won't be me if I didn't, wouldn't I?

[nowastedshots]

[...yes]

Something like that, yeah.

[deerstalks]

How's this doubles thing work, anyway? Dream or not, it's still fuckin' toked up.

[nowastedshots]

And dead men walking ain't?

[deerstalks]

[Just a look, brother. There's only one of him.]

It ain't like we're twins.

[nowastedshots]

Clones maybe? Heard they were doin' that with sheep. Maybe whatever fuck caused doom's day made a copy of us.

[deerstalks]

Sheep's not exactly like people, it'd be stupid to try that cloning thing on humans so soon if they did.

[But then again, there's Jenner.]

Guess there's idiots in every place, huh.

[nowastedshots]

Some idiot had to have sent the world to hell, so yeah. I'd say there are. [just look at their group. idiots aplenty]

[deerstalks]

[it's a wonder they survived this long, really]

Not so surprising, but damn. That's one hell of an idiot.

[nowastedshots]

[dumb luck]

Yeah well, the world was full of 'em before it ended and it's full of 'em now. Prolly never gonna change.
