[Well obviously Dave is worldly and experienced enough to be a good source of advice on such things.]
Um sort of natural, actually, when it happened, I guess?
We were just talking, and it sort of just happened. Out of nowhere. Like when I told you about my father?
Not nearly that scary, but it just kind of. Happened.
[She's pretty sure that's just whatever was causing all this? That was sort of how Ruby described her own incident, at least.]
But then I realized what had actually happened and it got really embarrassing It wasn't actually bad? But that's definitely not something friends just do, I know.
[Dave has wooed many ladies and kissed thousands, it's true. So true. The height of trueness, which is totally a word.]
i mean some friends do i guess like if theyre i dunno supper close or european or something (thats a nationality dont worry about it) so it doesnt have to be embarrassing if you dont want it to be and it sounds like ruby was ok with it at least and hey you didnt use tongue did you
sort of warm, I guess? And welcoming or comforting, somehow. Sort of like knowing I was being accepted without question.
Like a really good hug, but just for a second?
[It's a good thing they're doing this over text, because she's turning as red as Dave's magic jammies all over again.]
Or I guess
It was like I was telling Ruby everything about how much she's meant to me, and how much her friendship has meant, and that she believed I was real without hesitation, just
hey ok look anyone i may or may not have kissed regardless of their human status is neither relevant nor important so lets strike it from the discussion great thanks
so i have some thoughts but im not sure if i should share them because the thoughts im having are about stuff thats going to be personal to you whether theyre true or not and i dont want to like preempt your self discovery or anything? but also i want to be here for you if you want help figuring stuff out like
i dont know you seem to feel like theres something here for you to figure out am i on the right track in saying that
ok lets walk this through it sounds like it feels like a big deal but maybe not a BAD deal and strange but maybe in a nice strange way rather than a scary one i mean you said it was warm and there were a lot of feelings wrapped up in it and that it was really meaningful? that it conveyed everything you felt about ruby but youre concerned because you feel its not something "just friends" do
[Oh god who authorized him to lay this out with her, he is not qualified in even the remotest way.]
do you feel like it might change the friendship you and ruby have

[Okay, okay, good. She's already relating it to the romantic shit. Penny has all the pieces, she just hasn't put them together yet.]
change doesnt always mean losing something sometimes its like growth growing into something stronger or better or different but just as good besides ruby said it was fine right that it was ok and that she understood
i know you only did it on account of weird friday shenanigans but uncertain consequences aside and just thinking of the moment itself doooo you think you might want to try it again? with her i mean
you can never tell anyone i said this but rose is the smartest person i ever met and
ummmm its sort of less about what she read and more how she lived her life in some ways despite the myriad problems heaped on us like a himalayan mt trashmore she and her girlfriend were the only good thing going on that meteor
yeah uh people have kind of a spotty track record with bringing that option up but its an option its definitely a thing that happens yeah and like any other option in that catalog it can be a really great thing if done right with the right people anyway im just putting it out there and if you need to do some research on the subject for real ill get you some books or magazines i guess ive got an employee discount
hey think nothing of it pen like for real whats having friends who drop filthy sexual references in casual conversation even for if not situations exactly like this i mean not that anything about this is filthy or even sexual except in the sense that sexuality is involved but that words probably scary this early in the game so lets strike that from the record honestly you two would be cute?? fuck that probably sounds weird all i meant to say is youre welcome

Re: [Text]
It was just
What?
No, why would I lick her? Is that another european thing?
[Dave, what kind of world did you come from.]
[Text]
thats what it is
[The kind with Terezi Pyrope, my friend.]
anyway
it was just?
Re: [Text]
[Don't be racist, Penny.]
Just kind of
like
it was the right thing to do, at the time? Until after. And
I guess
kind of nice? It felt really human, I guess.
Does that make sense?
[Text]
hmm
i think so but maybe
im not sure
can you tell me more about how that feels to you?
im asking because well
i guess i never kissed a human
Re: [Text]
[BETRAYAL. BETRAYED. THE COOLNESS IS A LIE.]But it felt

It was like I was telling Ruby everything about how much she's meant to me, and how much her friendship has meant, and that she believed I was real without hesitation, just
all at once. If that makes sense.
[Another short pause.]
Wait do you mean you kissed one of the trolls

Re: [Text]
[If you don't want your alien-smooching habits discussed then don't make your exclusions that specific, sir.]
And I'm not sure what all that exactly meant but I think so?
Like
It feels like it shouldn't be a big deal but also kind of like it is?
It's strange and not just strange like the way all the police and nurses look alike.
[Text]
it sounds like it feels like a big deal
but maybe not a BAD deal
and strange but maybe in a nice strange way rather than a scary one

do you feel like it might change the friendship you and ruby have
Re: [Text]
But I mean
My father didn't tell me much about boys and dating and things but
I mean, I've read some things.
[A quick pause as she collects her thoughts.]
I was worried it might, when it happened, I guess?
Do you think it might?
[Another pause.]
She was my only friend, back home. I don't want to lose that. Her.

Re: [Text]
[Just. Taking a second to process that.]
Dave
Please
This is serious
[And another long pause between texts-]
i dont know
?
[Text]
do you want more books
i can
i can point out some books my sister wouldve liked
you might
they might give you a new perspective on certain things
Re: [Text]
[She's not sure what she expected when she started this conversation, but she's pretty sure this wasn't it.]
I mean they were magazines but
Your sister always sounds really smart when you talk about her.
Did she read a lot about
friends
Being stronger
Is that something that happens a lot?
[Text]
but rose is the smartest person i ever met
and
ummmm its sort of less about what she read and more
how
she lived her life
in some ways
despite the myriad problems heaped on us like a himalayan mt trashmore
she and her girlfriend were the only good thing going on that meteor
Re: [Text]
Oh
My father never mentioned that kind of thing
I mean he didn't talk much about boys and things either but
I don't think that came up at all
[Text]
but its
an option
its definitely a thing that happens yeah
and like any other option in that catalog it can be a really great thing if done right with the right people
anyway im just putting it out there and if you need to do some research on the subject for real ill get you some books
or magazines i guess
ive got an employee discount
Re: [Text]
I think
I think I do.
[Another short pause.]
Thanks Dave.
You're a great friend.
I really mean that.
[Text]
like
for real
whats having friends who drop filthy sexual references in casual conversation even for if not situations exactly like this
i mean not that anything about this is filthy or even sexual except in the sense that sexuality is involved but that words probably scary this early in the game so lets strike that from the record
honestly you two would be cute??
fuck that probably sounds weird
all i meant to say is
youre welcome
