... Yeah. I think we all knew that was coming, one way or another.

Kind of wish I could've made up with Jake beforehand. It wasn't like I didn't have the time. Couldn't have hurt to toss out a, "hey, no hard feelings?" or some shit along those lines. Same with Jane and Roxy. Lotta shit I never got to say... with the impending apocalypse and dancestors to debrief, I guess that's really the best we could've hoped for.

But no regrets.

All things considered i dont think you should worry about all that old boy.
Youre fine after all!
Youre always fine.
Totally fine.
Indubitably.

Yeah.
You're right.
Give me a thread and needle and sew that shit up myself.

Alright thats enough dont be morbid about it for crying out fricking loud.
Im almost completely certain youve come out of worse scrapes anyway so quit trying to sell yourself shorter than a sideways slug and keep your chin up!
Er figuratively i mean.
And this did happen once before and all in case youve forgotten which i definitely havent and im sure nobody else has either.
Its so completely fine strider.

We had a few more mechanics on our side then.
We had a few more lives to work with, and conditional immortality is actually pretty fucking useless in the short term.
Anyway, enough about me.
Look at you stepping up to be the hero.

No.
I mean yes!
It was spectacular but listen here im saying no to this change of subject at least temporarily and then we can talk about what a bangup job i did stomping those brutes and sending them running home to their mamas.
This is a completely inopportune time for it to be all about me.
Or rather its a completely inopportune time for you to be thinking about dumb things like saying youre sorry and whatever hapless shenanigans im getting up to when youre the one in trouble because as you pointed out *I* am one hundred percent fine and awesome.
And even though we established that youre also fine and dandy and also awesome if the last thing youre telling me you ever think about is clearing the air im going to be upset.

Alright.
This isn't our last conversation ever. And this isn't goodbye.
This is just two friends making up for six months of being royal little shits to each other.
No dramatic strings attached.
Deal?

Ok that sounds fair.
Regrets are terrible things after all so you really dont have any space to be carrying them and im certainly not in a position to be shouldering such a burden so we will have to just do without them.
Not that i was worried about it of course.
Like i said youre fine.
But if by chance you werent and by chance if there were things i didnt get to say either well that would just be

Unfortunate!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So there!
Anyways cool sword fighting there chap. You really gave em what for.

Jake.

[ Alright, fuck this text nonsense. Who even needs it. He can't even play this game of 'it's all fine and we're just chatting up how great it is to both be fine'. They're rapidly coming to the end of it all, and nobody knows how this is going to shake out.

He takes in a deep breath. Searching for the right words and not finding them. ]

You're my best friend.

Edited 2016-04-06 05:35 (UTC)

[ there is just SOMETHING in his EYE. like, an entire bee. sniffing (not sniffling, none of this is not that wet yet) deeply. a get-it-together max level inhale.

it's not very effective. ]

You're mine too, Strider. And best friends don't let best friends get their heads permanently chucked off so don't make me come over there and, and—do something, or so help me I will. Probably.

Hey. We're not talking about that, remember?

What are we talking about?

All the things that aren't that.

[ . . . ]

Like me being an insufferable asshole. Should've made a pitstop to make up properly before we went into that whole final battle thing.

Oh stop it would you!

[ puffing out, replacing soggy emotional nonsense with being indignant bird status. ]

We had better things to do! That is, I mean—for crying out loud haven't you ever watched a film in your entire life?? The big talks and realizations and all those other sharp dialogue bits folks get tattooed on them come after all the action. Otherwise it just takes the wind right out of everyone's sails. Who's supposed to embark on the battle of their lives with things like "gee I wish I'd asked Dirk if he can forgive me for being denser than the bottomside of a sailboat" on their minds??

It's rubbish and you know it. And here you are as proof of that very notion so don't you give me all that. Or, well, now you can give me all that I guess sans laments. Or something.

That's movies, Jake. I'm pretty sure we've talked about how you can't base your entire notion of reality around what goes down in Die Hard.

[ he rakes his fingers through his hair, grappling for something to say that isn't, "I'm an asshole and a fuckup and I'm sorry." There's got to be something to say other than that. Anything.

Instead he just comes up seeking validation. ]

It wasn't all bad, was it?

[ he has completely and entirely no clue what to say to that, and balks like he just got asked to solve a complicated math problem (honestly, he could fiddle his way through carrying the ones and reducing the fractions faster than he could come up with an answer to that if he had to, though). the weirdest thing is that the answer is really plainly obvious, yet somehow he has difficulty with it. ]

It—it? W-Which it are you specifically talking about??

[ it's fair ball. there could be multiple its. ]

u wanna kno whats a fucked up feeling

euphoric satisfaction + awful sadness

thats a fucked up feeling

Ain't it just.
Listen...
Don't worry about it. Chances are I'm fine.
Couldn't be any worse than the last time.
If anyone's earned a victory dance, it's definitely you.

its so fucking weird like one part of me wants 2 flip the FUCK out like ding dong the bitch is dead! she went hard but i went fucking harder

but also 1 of my best friends double gokud his way off 2 the dreambubbles and like idk the intricate details of the god tier clocks but that seems p heroic

If Jane's alright then there's a good chance of revival.
Barring that, there are enough fucking splinters of me to cobble together into a whole Dirk.
We didn't get a Game Over, so regardless of how things turn out we're still doing better than the last time we went through this fight.

[ That might be more hope than he actually feels, though. Chances are he won't stay dead, there are plenty of resources to revive him. ]

tru

man

did u see how fucking cool that sword throw was

Yes.
Hell.
Fucking.
Yes.
Couldn't have done it better myself.

shes dead!

shes fucking dead

4 centuries of destroyin the earth 16 yrs of sending giant robots 2 kill us and now shes gone from this world

and it only took us gettin owned in the face like four times 2 take her down

God damn she just wouldn't take a fucking hint.
There's never been a better or more deserving time for a corpse party.

Edited 2016-04-06 05:39 (UTC)

its okay we had like sixty hints

god damn

also im not gonna lie john looks super hot when hes fucked up

So is that like...
A thing?
You and him, that is.

if all goes according 2 plan u kno :3

i mean fighting an alien queen on a double date w/ ur daughter + her girlfriend is a hell of a way 2 start but hey weve all been through some shit so hopefully itll pan out

Can't say I've heard of a more fucked up first date, but aight.
I'm glad.
I mean, he looks like a fucking doofus but he seems like he's a good guy.

u dated jake 4 like 5 months get this fucking doofus nonsense out of my face

how tf u gonna slander me like this

I'm not saying Jake isn't a fucking doofus.

SLANDER I SAY

n e way

yes

but hes an ADORBABLE doofus

whos also rly hot when hes scuffed up like damn

and i think the first date went well!

we got in some cool fraymotifs 2gether

You can make up with him afterwards.

That was some impressive reincarnating, Strider.

(Re-in-crainium-ating? I'll work on it.)

Pretty sure you can attribute that grandstanding to Dave and Terezi.
Starting to think I should go ahead and invest in one of those fucking dog cones, or some kind of neck brace.
Or, no. Fuck that, how about just some actual armor.
Who the fuck decided we should go into battle wearing pajamas? Pretty sure a lot of those deaths could've been stopped by some some simple kevlar lining.

Something about making us try harder not to die and incorporate the maximum possible number of Sweet Moves.
I guess, anyway?
I don't make the rules and I've never figured out who does.

It's fucking horseshit is what it is.
Though I guess the conditional immortality is supposed to cover that.

It doesn't really help in battle, though.
I'm a Seer and I've still always found the heroic/just deaths to be incredibly arbitrary.
It's like leaving our fates to a bored cat playing dice.

dirk
diiiiiiiirk
dirky dirk
have some faith in davey
hes got ur head
n ur body
why grab a corpse if he didnt have a thing 2 do wit it?
