[What do you even say to something like that?]

fuck
is she
no fuck thats a stupid question
shit this is the goddamn worst time to be stuck across the map
are you all together at least?
does she
theres a hospital for people nearby right?

Yes, we're all here.

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.

i know what you meant

i know what its like to be angry like that
or to see other people be angry like that
its
man
this is fucked up
just
keep an eye on her ok?
none of you should have to be alone

Of course I willl! I'm not going to leave any of them alone, they're

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?

would you actually want to remember something like that

[There's a short pause before Penny responds.]

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.

im not a good person to ask that kind of question

[Have another pause, Dave.]

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.

Edited 2016-07-13 15:25 (UTC)

because i

it doesnt

no i dont think
that it works like that
sometimes you can change things but

everything that happens stays happened

im sorry

It's
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.

john fixed it in the end

[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

Edited 2016-07-13 15:46 (UTC)

That's

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.

Sorry, hang on
I need to go put a dollar in Yang's jar, be right back

oh shit i really am a bad influence jesus christ
what works i have wrought

No, I'm sorry! You're a wonderful influence, you're one of the best friends I've ever had, next to Ruby.

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.

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
you know i feel the same way right
that youre really great and deserve the fuckin world

I know. Thank you.
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.

ahah
ill let them know
but if you want that enforced you know you gotta stick around for it right

Edited 2016-07-13 17:39 (UTC)

I promise.

Until we find a way to get home alive and as we are. I still want to help if I can.

And I want to show you Atlas and Vale.

atlas is the one with all the cool tech right
show me atlas first

Yes! It's where I'm from. And Weiss, actually, the Schnee Dust Corporation is centered in Atlas.

And Mr. Ironwood definitely takes pride in keeping it on the cutting edge.

I guess that's why I'm here at all, really.

well thank god for country running nerds i say
if you werent around like
i bet our groups wouldnt have even become FRIENDS
how crazy is that

Yang told me almost the same thing, once.

[You're gonna make her blush, Dave.]

She'll

be okay one day, right?
Better.

I know it won't happen soon, and I know I can't just fix this, but
she deserves to be happy. They all do.

thats kind of up to yang
time isnt always the easy fix we want it to be
but

thanks to all yall being patient with me and shit
and just kind of being there
i think im doing a lot better than when i got here
i bet yang will get back up too
