...Yes, well.

Very good, you seem to have things well under control, then. And I appreciate the education into the subject, it was...illuminating.

[callbacks]

look
no offense dr rolute but im a big boy with my own support network and im pretty sure youre not that kind of doctor
ok?
youre welcome for the intro to sburban game mechanics but you dont have to pretend to think im even a remotely ok and well adjusted individual for it
i just dont want to talk about its impact on me personally is all

[uncertainrelation]

Understood.

And you do have my apologies. I'm afraid I'm not always the best at keeping my opinions to myself, as it were.

[callbacks]

never wouldve guessed
no harm done though man
at least youre not the poor dude i almost headbutted in the donuts because he dared to imply i could use some security and comfort when meridiana and i first showed up here

[uncertainrelation]

...Dare I ask what part of the physical form is "the donuts", colloquially?

[callbacks]

you havent met giorno giovanna yet?

[uncertainrelation]

Can't say as I recall making the acquaintance of anyone by that name, no, I'm afraid.

[callbacks]

youll recognize the donuts when you see them
also hes a nice dude
runs the coffee shop
very nosy and italian

[uncertainrelation]

Well, with a description like that, how can I fail to spot him?

I take it the nosy part is what nearly earned him the headbutt to the donuts.

[callbacks]

yeah p much
i wasnt at my best
i got dragged here from CHRISTMAS MORNING

[uncertainrelation]

How utterly unforgivable. You were robbed of your Christmas?

[callbacks]

well no it was december ninth or something here so i ended up christmassing twice
BUT THE POINT IS
i didnt get to open ANY of alpha christmases presents
and thats terrible

[uncertainrelation]

Perhaps so, but would it not have been worse to have opened all of them yet had no opportunity to enjoy any of them before immediately being whisked here?

At least this way you're suffering only from the suspense, not from the acquisition and subsequent loss.

[callbacks]

no its definitely worse not knowing
a because before i open the box it could be anything and that means literally everything is in the box in its unchecked state
i could have had it alllllllllll etc
and b because opening the present is the best part who cares about actually possessing the shit
i mean i do because i like stuff
but when stuff is also proof that this person i like appreciates me and thinks of me and wants to improve my immediate future by presenting me with this object they think i should have
stuff is five decillion times more awesome
so at least if i got to open my presents id know what my people thought id appreciate this year

[uncertainrelation]

...Is that why you fell in love with the crane game machine?

Because it doesn't matter so much what you get out of it, just that you're getting something at all?

[callbacks]

..............
who said im in love with a crane game machine
i have a fiancee



who is not a crane game machine

[uncertainrelation]

It's a figure of speech, Mr. Strider.

Fell in love, figuratively. Became enamored with. Enjoys.

[callbacks]

oh
yeah probably
i really like stuff

[uncertainrelation]

Enough so, evidently, to apply the paradox of Schroedinger's cat to your Christmas haul.

[callbacks]

if i cant use fancy theory to hypothetically obtain frankly ridonkulous amounts of material loot then what is fancy theory even for
ive had it used against me often enough

[uncertainrelation]

All the more reason to have it work in your favor for once, is that it?

[callbacks]

basically
also a guy can dream cant he
someday SOMEones gonna get me a pony

[uncertainrelation]

Really. Not a dog? I thought all children wanted a puppy at one time or another.

[callbacks]

bleeeaggghghgh
no never
some dogs are ok but not for me

[uncertainrelation]

Well, I shall keep that in mind if I happen to see a pony anywhere.
