It is normal for him to not do so. He did that for most of my life. I am sure you've managed to surmise as much but he is not a good man. He has done a great many awful things, both to myself and to the general populace.

I appreciate you offering to listen but... it is a rather grim tale and I would not want for you to have to suffer it. It is enough to know that someone else has noticed the type of man Jack is. The more people know, the less people will be hurt by him in the end.

yeah honestly like
i felt weird a couple times when i talked with him before but i figured he was just an asshole
and there are plenty of assholes i count my best friends
but
anyone who talks like that to
to someone they hurt
and makes it out like that persons the badguy for all the things THEYVE done
thats not being an asshole anymore thats do not engage levels of motherfuckery

[brokencode]

And now you know. Sometimes that is the best I can hope for. And perhaps that he really will get into a skiing accident. Even if death is not possible here.

Still, all this makes for unpleasant conversation. I'm sorry that this has to be the first way we interacted.

haha dont worry about it
ive had unpleasanter
so hey have you been here long
usually im pretty good at keeping up with people in my general age bracket so its kind of funny we havent talked before

[brokencode]

That is... both relieving and concerning, Dave.

I've been here since September, I believe. Close to five months now. I have... kept relatively quiet in regards to the networks. I think you can see why.

[callbacks]

yeah i dont blame you
if i was in anything even close to your situation id probably go underground
like literally underground
wild dave used dig it was hella effective
theres a bunch of us out in goldenrod though i think for good reasons you might not be here too
kids our age i mean

[brokencode]

Unfortunately I don't think I could dig fast enough. Jack is... crafty.

How old are you, Dave? If you don't mind me asking.

[callbacks]

eighteen
ish


reasons make it hard to keep track of

[brokencode]

Not much younger than me, then. I'm twenty-ish. For... similar reasons. Sometimes it's hard to remember how much time has passed in my life.

I was... afraid you might have thought me younger. You wouldn't be the first. Understably, of course. I tend to come off as younger.

nah
you type with capital letters in all the right places
thats a grownup thing if ive ever seen one

[brokencode]

Oh? Is that all I need to do to act my age. I had assumed I needed to eat a proper serving of vegetables too.

I suppose what they say is true. You learn something new every day.

[callbacks]

vegetables are a conspiracy i dont trust em
what are they doing with all those vitamins and minerals anyway huh
what do they need them for

[brokencode]

Do you think there is a transuniversal vegetable conspiracy? To be honest, it would not be the most ridiculous thing I've heard about.

[callbacks]

how did veggies get to exist in every universe if theyre NOT a transuniversal conspiracy
wake up johto
wake up

[brokencode]

That doesn't seem like solid reasoning. If that was the case, things like cats or gums would also be a conspiracy.
Then again, there aren't guns here, are there...

Hmmm.

[callbacks]

cats also dont exist everywhere
but frogs do

[brokencode]

So... Frogs are a conspiracy too?

[callbacks]

oh def
one place i was at declared all frogs and frog related iconography dangerous contraband actually
havent thought about that in a while but it was pretty bizarre in retrospect

[brokencode]

That's a joke. You are joking?

[callbacks]

my universe was really weird

[brokencode]

My universe had half-naked men that screamed lines from Shakespeare. I... think I know the feeling.

[callbacks]

sounds disturbing
comedies or tragedies
personally im hoping for the piss jokes

[brokencode]

Tragedies. Hamlet, to be exact.

[callbacks]

ew
the most pretentious and yet lowest hanging fruit
sympathies

[brokencode]

It is hard to expect much better, all things considered. Besides it... becomes easy to sound it out when you hear it almost every day. It's interesting how a mindless, disconnected bunch manages to recite ancient stageplays almost identically, day in and day out.
