[You'd think Dave would have learned his lesson about anonymity, but maybe learning doesn't stick so well at ass in the morning when he can't sleep. At least it doesn't seem like he's really trying to mask his identity, here. It's just...a plausible deniability thing, maybe. Probably, given the content of his message.]

that sounds obnoxious
sorry dude you ended up with the most annoying villain in the history of ever

[heartdive]

It's not that bad. I'm sure that in the end things aren't gonna work out like he wants them to.

[callbacks]

well good luck i guess
i cant really offer a lot of advice in a situation like that

[heartdive]

It'll be fine. I'm not too worried.

[callbacks]

confidence is everything

[heartdive]

you don't think things will work out for you?

[callbacks]

lets say the likelihood is statistically negligible

[heartdive]

it can't be THAT bad.

[callbacks]

im already dead dude

when did i switch to text.... OOPS

[heartdive]

[ thank you for that Dave. now Sora looks like a kicked puppy. which is kind of a feat at nineteen. ]

I'm... Isn't there any way to fix that? At all?

The power of text compels thee

[callbacks]

is there USUALLY

power of nostalgia

[heartdive]

Usually? But not now?

[callbacks]

thats what im asking
i mean yes my world had some stupid bullshit reacharounds re: fatalities
but im aware thats not generally the case and also no none of them are currently applicable
is death usually reversible where youre from dude??

[heartdive]

I haven't really... Death is permanent. But where I'm from there's other things that can happen. It's not just the old guy possessing you. You can lose your heart.

There are people that I know that don't actually exist anymore. But I'm going to find a way to fix that.

[ a paaauuuuuse..... ]

And maybe in some places death isn't exactly permanent. Maleficent came back. Technically Auron too.

[callbacks]

ok well im super dead at this point and probably my ghost will get posthumously pulverized soon enough so lets not
lets talk about something else
like literally
anything
else

[heartdive]

Why are you all anonymous?

[ did say literally anything else! totally respectful. ]

[callbacks]

is that a you all as in yall like you plural
or is that an all anonymous like why am i...what would you call that
an intensifier?
a dumb word that doesnt mean anything
because if its the former i can only speak for myself i cant speak for any other anonymous persons on this network

[heartdive]

...What's yall?

[ spoilers: Sora's not even saying it right. ]

I meant like why are you all anonymous like, I guess? Why are you asking these things like that.

[callbacks]

probably because i dont want people looking at me in my real life and feeling shitty about various aspects of my situation that may have come up in conversation
eg this thing that just came out right now about my being hella deceased
i really dont need that on the regular tbh

[heartdive]

Guess I can understand that. There are some things I didn't tell my best friend for a long time because I didn't want him to worry about something he can't change. 'Course I haven't told my other friends that stuff either.

[callbacks]

well
that kind of crap tends to come out with friends eventually and then they feel bad that you felt like you couldnt tell them
but this is more like
this is not the general publics business and they can step right the fuck off

[heartdive]

But you... Kind of made it everyone's business? By asking? Even without your name attached, you know someone's gonna be able to put two and two together eventually. That's how this place works.

[callbacks]

the people who can figure it out though are people itd probably come out around anyway
i got no interest in fielding pitying looks from complete strangers is all
i dont even know half the people who answered this post despite almost all yall attaching your names to your answers

[heartdive]

Habit. I like making friends and I've been here for... Uh.

[ eyes rolling to the back of his heeeaddd. ]

Getting to be almost three years now.

[callbacks]

long time
not a bad place to be stuck in though
