[It's a weird story he doesn't totally understand, but Davesprite kind of hopes Isaac didn't remember seeing his friend die after whatever bullshit ritual he went through; he's not exactly a stranger to seeing his friends die himself and, yeah, it is really fucking shitty.]
so death was different in asgard i mean it was in the world im from too for some people at least but if you were from another reality and got killed in asgard one of the gods would just bring you back after a few hours or later if you talked to her about it so it didnt really matter that i got killed its just something that happened and you just deal with it you know
[ he remembers Erica, he remembers so many, but Allison is the one that sears across his mind and makes his chest tighten uncomfortably. better to not deal with it at all right now, right? that's healthy? ]
you died and came back. that's even worse, probably, even if you're acting cool. there aren't consequences for anyone killing you there? pretty messed up.
doesnt really make it easier to handle when people die for real but it was a war people died all the time in battles and there wasnt much you could do about it besides check on them after they came back and i mean i didnt really tell anyone it was my fault i got killed didnt want anyone to make the same dumb mistake and try to go after her
We're having a Christmas Eve Eve gathering at the Iskaulit from 5 to 8 pm if you're interested in coming along, to try and pretend everything is normal and in the spirit of the season.
If you agree to come, please: Bring a White Elephant Present Any food that you’d like to have that you think won’t be there Agree to take any fighting outside (no melted snow balls in the house please) If you do come, be aware that there will be punch, alcohol, jazz, and a ridiculous amount of salted foods will be served (we work with what we’ve got). Feel free to invite anyone you like who you think will appreciate the same and agree to abide by the same conditions.
[ merry christmas, issac! in the morning, he'll find a small package addressed to him containing three (3) snowmen made out of toilet paper rolls as well as a bag of chocolates. also included is a small handmade card with the following message: ]
Merry Christmas, Issac!
Thanks for teaching me about TP-ing, it was fun even though it's a prank. I hope to get to know you more in the new year!
right so you died a probably painful death and decided not to tell anyone? what about your furry friend or whatever. i mean did you at least win the war because if you didnt that'd be even worse. dying and losing a war. pretty lame.
uh well i got killed over something that wasnt related to the war so much if you want to get technical we were supposed to be on the same side but yeah we won the war eventually that happened way later though
[Kind of just sidestepping the inquiry about Jade right now, because he actually forgot she didn't know.]
the alien fish empress i mentioned earlier she was another unsuspecting import snatched up by the gods from the same general pocket clusterfuck as me so we were supposed to fight on the same side ideally anyway but extenuating circumstances occurred or had occurred and i was a bigger shithead than usual so i got into a fight with her and she killed me anyway dont really know what my status as living or undead really qualifies as if ive got to be honest but i dont got a craving for brains if thats a point of concern
what is your life. i mean really. alien fish empress kills you in asgard that you're warring with but not. i mean it qualifies you as being pretty cool i guess. esp if you're not a zombie. i mean i can handle ghost ninjas and were jaguars but zombies is too far. not-ghost-half-dead-alive-bird-friend will have to do. sorry bout it.
id say that sounds pretty cool but i guess not if they held the same kind of status as a psychopathic fish queen and the whole ninja deal is pretty overdone at this point
i mean probably worse than the fish queen. these guys just show up, give you a weird tattoo and run away. they don't speak or anything. creepy masks, though. overkill.
ok whats the story with the tattoos do you have one because yeah that sounds pretty fucking weird and i come from a set of universes that are in constant competition to see who can jerk off the other first in a nasty mobius double reacharound
so these spirit ghost ninjas were looking for an evil spirit. the spirit lived inside someone. so to tell if they werent infested with evil you were marked. i got jumped in a hot girls bedroom by these things. kind of looks like a backwards five, behind my ear. dont ask.
yeah im not gonna im sure it makes sense in context but if we start delving too deeply into context were gonna be here all fucking night though uh you probably shouldnt bring up the me dying thing with anyone alright especially since youre gonna be switching ships
yeah because im gonna meet people and say hey this is my friend dave hes part ghost bird dude and he's dead. no big deal. whats switching ships have to do with it
man this is so fucking awkward i was hoping wed be spared the awkward but that was obviously a fleeting fucking dream so here we go bumrushing that sucker when it comes slinking back home with its tail between its legs we are chasing this shithead back off the premises its exiled dude welcome no more but alright so like i said i omitted the occurrence of my death but i got friends around who might give more of a shit than they should and also maybe kind of have their own traumatic experiences to cope with so im not really interested in heaping my own horseshit on top of that especially when it happened over a year ago so thats whats up
yeah you're right this is awkward as hell. sounds like you have friend issues dude if you cant tell them i mean dude you died. thats a big deal. death and all. the whole not living thing. but whatever, you dont have to tell anyone. and pretty sure id give more shits if my friend died to so mr horseshit pity party of one sorry you died. that fucking sucks. but it's cool you didn't stay dead. i mean i think so. you can think what you want bird brains but yeah.
[And...Davesprite doesn't really know what to say to that. Partly because he's too used to people blowing off death, treating it like a nonissue when they come back; it's easier to pretend everything is ok rather than face your own mortality, after all. And, yeah, it's partly because he didn't expect Isaac to care, at least this much. Classic mistake on his part, but it's hard to shake that kind of thinking.
So his end of the line is silent for a few minutes.]
its because shes dead dude back where were from for real or at least shes convinced she is its hard to tell sometimes like sure thats not the only reason its not even the original reason and i promise i have a laundry list of reasons each one stupider than the last so you can give me shit about those if you really want but i dont want her to find out now when she doesnt even seem to be dealing with that
[ that's a game changer, definitely, and he does feel a little bit like an asshole for bringing it up now, for pushing the point, but whatever. the damage is done. ]
there's an original reason? i don't care how many reasons there are, i'm not gonna tell. you tell me not to and its a secret. well the furry thing wasn't but that was just funny. this isn't. dont go and get yourself killed again. i'd be seriously bored here then.
backdated 12.25; bc i have been a lazy holiday shit
[Sup, dude. On Christmas, Isaac receives an official Nic Cage Master Collection™ and some space Doritos (notably without a glow, so these are not sprite manufactured). There's a letter in the box, with a shitty comic of a shitty kanima in pointy anime shades attached.]
i thought about getting you a scarf to compensate for the technicolor wolves but that scarf is a fucking work of art. for once atroma did something right. so i figured id provide on the shitty cinema front instead as a proper stave to the inevitable boredom well face once they shuttle us back aboard the wondercan.
if you can really call this a stave to boredom. seems more masochistic to me but if youre into it youre into it, which ive got to respect since not just anyone can plunge into the white rapids of these mass produced hack films with naught but a paddle of questionable taste. so i guess that makes you pretty cool and also in possession of sick survival skills, even if we ignore the werewolf thing.
if i were a crueler dude i would have given you furry porn but its been cool having you on the crew.
yeah the original reason is i was an even bigger asshole then than i am now which as you can probably tell is a feat but thanks like this probably sounds fucked up but i forgot she didnt know with the kind of shit foot in mouth shenanigans i get myself into i would have accidentally dropped that bombshell at the most inconvenient time possible but you dont got to worry dude i dont have a death wish ill be around to provide chips for shitty movies
it doesnt sound fucked up. sounds like you had a hell of a lot more to worry about. and maybe she did too. its not like i told anyone about my dad. sometimes talking about shit is harder than just getting through it. big picture and all of that. but yeah chips and shitty movies. better than nothing.
