Voice Testing -> Exitvoid?

You do realize that you aren't going to get anything done for weeks right? The next reserve cycle isn't until July. You have plenty of time to get on that. And will you? Probably not. Your ability to plan astounds me. Rather, your lack of ability to plan. 'It wont take long' you say 'It shouldn't be too hard' you say. Yeah, well, sometimes things aren't as they seem. Get on that. Preparedness breeds confidence.

No, I will be completely fine fending for myself in a weird game run by a horrible corporation that is very likely trying to murder me viciously. You ask like I haven't done this before.

Thank you so very much for your overwhelming concern.

Glad to hear that I'm not hallucinating all of this then. Unless I am and this whole conversation is just a figment of my over-active imagination. Regardless of any of that I don't think there is much harm in taking advantage of this situation.

Which is really fucking cool by the way. Do you know how you managed to transcend the boundaries of logic and go from puppetee to puppeter?

Mundane shenanigans.

[And really that's all the description this situation needed.]

[But Caaaaal...For science!]

Please don't say it was magic.

I guess there's probably some science surrounding it but anything I said would just be a theory.

Theory's are one of the fundamental steps to creating a solid hypothesis. Without a solid theory one can't even start the process of testing and finding proof to help solidify that theory and make it a sound one. But I digress. No matter the process it's still pretty cool.

[A pause.]

Do you have any extensive memories of being a puppet?

Yes. I have every memory from the two universes I existed in. Almost like I was conscious the entire time.

[His eyebrow raised minimally.]

So even you transcend the boundaries of time and space and you remember both?

[What the heck are you, Cal?]

Would you say that is a blessing or a burden?

A little of both. It's nice that I remember you and dave and your respective bros but I also remember some moments where if I wasn't a puppet I would of been scared and sickened.

Oh really? Like when.

[It's obvious he's evading a bigger memory but he'll give one none the less.]

The time I was kidnapped by a psychotic clown for a while.

[For the first time since they started talking Dirk takes a step closer to Cal. When he speaks his voice is dangerously even.]

What.

[Oh wow that is a scary look.]

Yeah uh a clown took me when he found me I guess and he was pretty homicidal and scary.

[No one, and that means no one messes with Lil Cal and gets away with it. He's like family.]

Did you get a name? Physical desription?

[And now he looks like a Strider. Blonde hair and unless the mun changes his mind, gold eyes.]

Dirk. I don't want you to mess with that guy unless you have to, okay? He's completely insane.

I mean he's selling blood to Jane as POTIONS.

[You mess with one Strider, you mess with them all. At least in Dirk's book.]

I have spent my life dealing with the likely clinically insane.

[He goes quiet for a moment.]

She have Lil Seb with her?

[Wrong thing to say Cal. Now he wants to break his face even more.]

Yeah I know but...

[Sigh fine he'll just have to say it.]

He's nearly as frightening in power as the Batterwitch and of the same race.

[Cal nodded to the question.]

Yeah but it's okay anyway, I think he has some weird intentions right now that don't involve hurting you guys.

[Dirk is silent for a while. What for isn't entirely clear, likely compiling a list of possible choices of action and their outcomes.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[He seems to relax just a bit.]

How do we know he wont decide to change his mind?

He seems to twistedly believe he's helping her from the looks of it so for now I think his fantasy or belief is he's a part of the game. Or a guide.

Well okay then. As long as she has Lil Seb with her she should be alright. [Hopefully]

[Pause.]

A guide for what? What could he even possibly hope to accomplish?

[Guess who hates how many unknowns are involved in this game?]

To help Jane with her personal quest. That much is a given in the game. Your brother did the same thing.

[Better not be to her doom weird crazy clown alien]

My brother? Was a guide?

No, he played the game.

[A pause.]

Is that what he did to piss the Batterwitch off?

[Couldn't be. Is this those strange timeline shenanigans that Jake was always going on about?]

I'm not sure if she even has her memory any more. But I don't think other than being a hero he could of pissed her off.

What she did to our world is just a common thing for her to do.

So I've realized.

[He's starting to wonder if they're all as fucked as he is starting to feel.]

It's not exactly like we can just waltz on up and ask her about it though. That would be like signing your own death certificate. Probably in your own blood. All we've got is what is recorded. Unless you know something that I don't.
