Hey, this is Isaac. Leave a message, I guess.

[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

[frigidaire]

shit.

[ 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.

[feathery]

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

[frigidaire]

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.

[feathery]

yeah
i guess so
but youre welcome
at least i got chip production going for me
i expect you to bring the popcorn next time

[frigidaire]

yeah whatever i'll bring the popcorn.
but it'll probably taste like ass.
you've been warned.

[feathery]

how bad do you have to be with a microwave to make popcorn taste like ass

[frigidaire]

it's all the weird space food its not my fault.
everything tastes bad here.
i want a burger or a steak so bad.

[feathery]

dude
yeah
im not even sure the meat on the marsiva was legit
its kind of hard to tell sometimes

[Mostly because Davesprite is used to food from a can.]

[frigidaire]

yeah it wasn't good.
i mean it was better than gel and powder.
next time i hope atroma gives me a burrito instead of a shitty movie.
