Mun,

It's bad enough that you sent me there. Now, you want me to come out here and ask for my friends to be sent there too? That's really cold blooded. Seriously, I'd rather just stay there alone than throw them into this whole mess.

...so let's just call it a day, and I'll go back to suffering in somewhat silence.

Hi, Teddy.

What sort of place did your mun stick you that you're suffering?

[dorkling]

Uh...well..

Crazy sex worship island.

[before_kang]

[Excuse Nate staring for a few moments. He isn't quite sure he heard that right.]

..what?

[dorkling]

[ He has to explain it all again. ]

It's an island... with these gods that make you have sex....it like... charges their batteries or something.

[before_kang]

I...see.

[So much awkward shifting.] And you're the only one of our friends there? [Nope, not asking the first question that comes to his mind.] I see why you wouldn't want the rest of us there now.

[dorkling]

...yeah, I'm the only one.

It sucks in a way, but it's probably better like it is. No matter how much my player denies it.

[before_kang]

I'm not sure if this makes things better or worse but my player is looking for some place to send me. And if the pattern continues, he will at least look at the place you are. I could end up joining you.

I assume there are...penalties for not recharging the batteries?

[dorkling]

Nightmares... and then aphrodisiacs...

[before_kang]

[He's just going to sigh now.]

These players enjoy our torment and misery. They remind me of Kang sometimes.

I hope you've been doing well at least. Err...I mean, I hope you haven't been suffering too much.

[dorkling]

It sucks... but, I'm coping.

I mean, there are some really nice people there, it's just the whole..sex thing.

[before_kang]

That's good.

I take it that means you've found someone to...take care of the sex thing with?

[dorkling]

Uh... yeah, I guess. I've only really been there for like six weeks. So...

[before_kang]

[He nods a little.]

And I assume...certain things get worse the longer you're there?

[dorkling]

You've got four weeks before the shit hits the fan.

It seriously blows. [ Poor choice of words there. ]

[before_kang]

I see.

It certainly does. [A small, wry smirk.] It sounds...less unpleasant than the other location my player was going to send me.

[dorkling]

Outside of that one thing, it's not that bad. It's probably just fine for people who like sleeping with other people..

[before_kang]

[He smiles.] I still don't understand why people in your time make such a big deal out of that.

[dorkling]

It's something that spilled over from an earlier time, I guess.

Personally, if I didn't have Billy.... I wouldn't be so hung up about it myself.

[before_kang]

I don't understand, what do you mean?

[dorkling]

It's scandalous to sleep around when you're not married and all.

[ scratches his head ]

[before_kang]

Oh! [He mimicks the head scratching.]

I suppose so.

[dorkling]

Things are probably different where you're from, so maybe you'd do okay where I'm at...

..and really, as much as I don't want any of you here. I wouldn't mind it...either..

[before_kang]

I think I misunderstood you earlier but I might do well there. I won't know unless I end up there.

It is easier to deal with suffering with the help of friends.

[dorkling]

Yeah, it is easier.

I'm just really torn about it, you know? I feel kinda selfish when I hope that any of you will show up..

[before_kang]

I understand, Teddy. Just like any of us would if we ended up there. It's not like it would be you fault anyway,

[dorkling]

I know I know. But, I'm still the one out here talking about it and all.

[before_kang]

Only because your player is making you do it though.

[dorkling]

You're right, yeah...

So... I guess this is where I mention that reserves open on August 8th...

[before_kang]

I will hope to see you if my player sends me there then.

[eversomagical]

...Everything all right Teddy?

[dorkling]

About as good as it can get all things consider...

[eversomagical]

At least you're going somewhere. Mine just has me floating around his headspace.

...Will you be lonely?

[dorkling]

I'm already there. On top of that.. everyone I know, they're not even from our universe.

[eversomagical]

Oh well that freaking sucks.

[dorkling]

It was like "Oh there's Iron Man." He doesn't know who I am.

And look, there's Captain America. Noope.

[stormy_skrull]

You okay, your Highness?

[dorkling]

Just peachy, thanks.

[stormy_skrull]

What's going on?
