SH nostalgia

Look, I know you're doing that thing where you get all nostalgic and want to relive what you call "good times." But it wasn't good times for me. Not in the least.

I almost fucking died! She almost—

.........

shit

Just stop it already. You already went too far before and you're doing it again. It's not gonna happen. Ya hear me??

They're not going to let us go. We may as well just... accept it. The more we fight them, the longer it's going to be until they just forget us and move on.

[shit girl, that sounds all too familiar to him.]

Yeah, kind of got the whole 'not letting go' thing down. [cops, evil towns and stuff] Guess it's just wishful thinking trying to knock sense into em.

So your mun's not letting you go either, huh?

It's like she keeps thinking of more things that she can do to me... and they're all terrible. I wish I could just... leave.

Sorry to hear that. Guess it's a thing around here for these muns. The more terrible the idea is the better. I don't get it.

Another human here told me that they were our friends.

[ Lapis hugs herself, frowning. ]

... I don't think she knew what they're really like.

[for rlz girl??]

They're definitely not our friends. Not from what I've experienced and from the sound of it you either.

We're just their playthings. That's all.

Good times are relative.

You're not dead, it doesn't sound like she is either, so it's fine, right? Just move on. Forget about it. Like it never happened.

I wouldn't exactly call it 'fine.' [...wait...hold up...is that a–

......

...yeah he's just gonna pause and stare...and process. He's seen some weird stuff and he supposed a talking bird wasn't the strangest just...damn...

Aw what the hell. He'll play along.]

...I wish it was that easy.

[correction: three foot tall bird with an enlarged hand and batlike fingers on his wings that look like they could be used as fingers. and weird half-human, half-crow mannerisms. and the voice of a young adults that sounds like it should in no way be coming from a bird. he's very unsettling if you've never seen an uplift before.]

'Course it is. Just let it go and block it out. Only move forward from here on out, and forget the person you used to be. It's a matter of being happy you're still breathing when there was a possibility of that not happening! Think of all the things that could've happened.

[he looks Murphy up and down, hops across the ground in a semi-circle to check Murphy from the back, then flutters back around to the front.]

Well, looks you've got all your original limbs, no paralysis or major injury, and like you said, your friend made it out, too. So neither of you died, both your bodies are intact, and you're still at least kind of sane! So remember those parts, celebrate 'em, and don't remember the things that did happen.

Or do what everybody else does and get psychosurgery, if you got money. Have 'em slice the whole thing right out of your head and wipe the slate clean.

[~~oops my bad bro~~]

['block it out'? you for real bro? he's gonna let out a scoff for that one.] Wish I could. Dammit, I wish it was all that simple. [for rlz – and oh GOD it's MOVING. Murphy immediately freezes watching ~~plz don't kill me~~. he wasn't good with things moving towards or near him.]

......

[dammit – snap out of it Murphy!]

I–uh...um... [he shakes his head trying to keep ~~sane~~ calm.]

Look, I appreciate the advice. But it ain't that simple. Not in the least... [he's considering the later though. if he had a dollar to his name ~~a nicer mun wouldn't hurt either.]~~

Isn't it? Memories only have the power you give 'em, you know. Try thinking about like it happened to somebody else! Or divide your life into before and after, then make a clean break. It's really not that bad if you do it that way.

[read: repress the shit out out of everything and adopt relentless optimism as a defense mechanism because anything else in the world is better than the way your life was before]

Man, this stuff is harder to explain than I thought. You know... drinking probably works, too. Or have them pump you full of drugs. Problem with that is you'll be too happy when other people talk about their problems but you know, small price to pay.

Jeez, what even happened to you?

Guess that makes sense. ~~idek~~ [as dry as the reply may be he was actually listening to and thinking about what was being said to him.]

I wouldn't want this happening to anyone else. These things... [he wasn't beyond thinking of life before. it was the after part where he fell short. he didn't exactly think of what would happen after everything was done. oops? Drinking on the other hand...]

Yeah...did a little too much of that. [the drinking, not the drugs. he wasn't far from hearing about other people's problems either, "jobs" and things.

he was having a hard enough time maintaining eye contact but the question of 'what happened' would cause his view to look away completely.

a pause. a scoff.]

...you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you. [says the guy talking to the 3 foot tall half human/half bird.]

Well, no, it's not "someone else", it's just the "you" of before. One that's a different "you" than you are now, so you're not affected by what happened to the other "you". Like I said, hard to explain.

And c'mon, I'd believe you. Seriously. The news where I'm from? They just found a wormhole that leads to aliens, so my suspension of disbelief is completely gone for the next month or so.

Erm... [yeah he's lost, bro.]

Wait, did you just say 'Aliens'? [okay, he'll spill. because things that defy science? not his kind of debate. sigh.]

Alright, fine. You wanna know what happened? [prepare for a doozy, bro...]

I was being...transferred. Anyway, the bus crashed and the next thing I know, I'm waking up in a monster infested town that was hell bent on killing me. [and that's just part of the story.]

Wow, that sucks. You get any weapons or you have to fistfight your way out of there? 'Cause man if you did that, it'd be pretty hardco--

[cough]

Anyway, that's rough, but doesn't sound like the the kinda thing that messed you up.
