How do you think we all got here? OooooOOoooooOoo...!

Nah I'm just messin with you. I've had a few close calls, Red. One really, really close call, actually.

This is a morbid topic, isn't it!

[yerpissingmeoff]

i... ain't sure that's it.

had a few myself, but, ain't one of 'em ever made me wanna actually give in. just pushes me harder, y'know?

errr maybe but who cares about that? talkin' is just talkin'.

[tetrahedonist]

Well, you're not as neurotic as the last kid I messed with. Not sure if that makes you better or worse off.

What have you been up to that's given you near death experiences?? Shouldn't a kid your age be fixing their bike and going to after school chess club or something?

Yeah, if it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me!

[yerpissingmeoff]

chess club?? i ain't into that kind'a shit!

...actually i ain't in any clubs at school now that i think about it.

( conveniently ... not answering about near death experiences. >x> )

[tetrahedonist]

No free time? Or no inclination?

Relax, I won't call you a nerd. Promise.

[yerpissingmeoff]

ain't my thing. i don't even know the names of the pieces... i mean aside from a king and a queen.

[tetrahedonist]

That's fine! When you really get into it, it's just linear algebra. Ten-duodecillion different positions, but honestly!

I don't play it properly anyway, but I play with a lot of confidence, so if people notice they don't say anything.

That's not a bad tack to take for life generally.

tw: language

[yerpissingmeoff]

ten duo-the fucks?

oh yeah, you ain't wrong on that one. definitely helps to be confident in the shit you do and whatever.

[tetrahedonist]

Haha, you gotta mouth on you! You're pretty authentic, huh.

10 to the power of 40, bud. 1,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000. That's how many different combinations can exist in traditional chess.

When you can break a game down into math problems it's not as fun to play anymore.

[yerpissingmeoff]

oh. uh. sorry, i guess that was kind'a disrespectful or whatever. i ain't used ta caring about what i say or nothin'.

that's insane, you can do all that on a tiny little ass board of squares and junk!?

ain't that a lot'a games...?

[tetrahedonist]

Don't worry about that! I like WYSIWYG. You don't need to censor yourself on my account!

Yeah! I'll tell you a secret, kid, at least in the multiverse I'm familiar with, math is how you get access to the good stuff!

Any game a machine can play! I like pool. Maybe if you're interested we can play sometime. I don't think I'd be much good at fencing, but it'd be neat to watch you!

[yerpissingmeoff]

that's a relief. it's exhaustin' try'na censor myself most of the time.

the hell is a multiverse?

oh yeah, that's it. if i machine can do it, it maths and whatever. pool, huh? that's probably more my style. fencing is all... fancy and shit. i'm not sure i'd be good at that crap with rules and junk.

[tetrahedonist]

Tell me about it! The more we have in common the more you've got my sympathies! It's not easy. Nobody likes being gifted weird animal parts.

Picture the universe, side by side with itself, and each one includes all the choices you almost made! That's the multiverse. It gets a little confusing for people who dimension hop on the regular but I didn't come here the same way most people did!

I'm definitely leaving a hole in my schedule for you, kid. You're alright.

[yerpissingmeoff]

y'got yerself some weird animal parts, man?

( she's picturing it and... it makes her brain hurt. she tilts her head and tries her best to properly imagine what the hell he's talking about. )

so, it's like... one earth where i did all the shit i've done and like, then, another one next to it where i didn't? so like, instead of bein' late fer school cause i wanted more ta eat in the mornin', i got there on time or somethin'?

( she is simple bill. )

thanks man, yer th'shit yerself!

[tetrahedonist]

Sure! I collect teeth and bones and all that good sh--you're a kid so 'stuff' actually! I have so many vertebrae! Just lousy with cervicals. Nobody seems as impressed with them as I am. But take this as a life lesson that not everyone will understand, appreciate, help, or care about you, or at least your bodily part collection, at all!

Keep going until you find weirdos who like you for you! I'm sure they're out there. Do you collect anything? Swords? Wow kid you could have a great sword collection and they make like sixty different kinds at least!

Anybody ever tell you you're not smart, you tell them I said different.

Aw, that's great to hear. Between you and me, I'm not used to this level of success in interpersonals.

[yerpissingmeoff]

eh, you don't gotta worry about censorin' yerself from me if i ain't gotta with you. two way street, or whatever. that sounds cool tho, bones. what's a cervical?

ehhh, nah, not really. i ain't never had much of a place to stay fer storin' shit like collection stuff, yanno? that would be cool, tho.

ha, i'll keep that in mind the next time senketsu tries ta call me bullheaded or somethin'.

honestly, me neither. it don't usually go so well fer me.
