Re: [Text]
And she's
I mean physically she's okay
Everything is as healed as it can be, but
she's been really quiet. And angry, I think.
And not like when she got mad at you or Karkat, I mean REALLY angry.
[Text]

or to see other people be angry like that
its
man

keep an eye on her ok?
none of you should have to be alone
Re: [Text]
They're my friends. They don't deserve any of this. It's just
This is so big, Dave. So much bigger than I'd thought, the first time they told me, when they all came here
We promised to change it, if we could, but I just don't know. And why am I the only one that didn't remember anything new?
[Text]
Re: [Text]
I don't want to, no. But it almost feels like something's wrong, being the only one.
I mean besides the obvious.
And if I did
I mean if I went home, I might
Do you think it would be possible to change it, at all. What happened. Not just
Not just the fight, but what happened after? Stop everyone from getting hurt. Yang and Pyrrha and anyone that got hurt in the attack.
[Text]
im not a good person to ask that kind of question
Re: [Text]
Why not?
[She isn't going to like the answer, something tells her.]
I know I don't understand them very well, but this seems like a time shenanigans kind of thing.
[Text]
it doesnt
no i dont think
that it works like that
sometimes you can change things but
everything that happens stays happened
[Text]
Re: [Text]
Yeah. Me too.
You tried changing what happened to Jade, right. Or
Or something. And you couldn't.
I'm sorry. You don't deserve that, you're one of the best people I know.
[Text]
[Has he talked about this with...anyone? With Karkat, some, but not like this. Never like this.]
theres a timeline where it turned out ok
and we won
and i probably didnt have to save anyone because i was the one who was saved
but that dave isnt me
[It's better than nothing, but it hurts all the same.]
im sorry penny i wish there was something better to tell you
but all i can do is try to make something right while im here
im sorry
Re: [Text]
It isn't fair.
[And that. Sure sounds really bad.]
[She doesn't want to ask if it really is as bad as she thinks it sounds.]
Are you
Does that mean
Fuck SBURB.
Re: [Text]
I need to go put a dollar in Yang's jar, be right back
[Text]
what works i have wrought
Re: [Text]
I mean, nothing like Ruby, that's really different
But I mean it, you're a wonderful person and you don't deserve anything that awful game did to you.
Um
Except for the part where it kind of made all of you.
It did ONE good thing.
[Text]
youre a good kid p
and a good friend
thank you
im only gonna say this once cause sinceritys the start of a long slip n slide to being kind of uncool but

Re: [Text]
And you could never be uncool, no matter what.
And you can't ever leave Johto.
Or Pokémon world, I guess.
Not if you have any choice about it, we need to make it a rule. Not you or Jade or Karkat.
