the other guy covered this already but i figure, what can it hurt to ask again? where can i can drugs here. anxiety meds, specifically. no, i don't have anxiety, but i can exhibit similar symptoms from time to time. this is life-threatening, i assure you.

second, because i don't think i can get away with just putting up a "don't fuck with me" attitude when touchy-feelies might actually save lives: i'm a touch-based telepath. yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. no, i can't just shut it off. yes, i won't touch you without permission. no, don't touch me unless i touch you first.

jesus motherfucker this is more words than i've written in years. hi, i'm tetora. i like pizza.

[scarecrowed]

no.

[ It gets worse... ]

i've only recently tried a hot dog for the first time. i suppose you find that strange as well.

[nishizono]

psychic's a step too far, man. i can just read minds when i touch people, that's it.

so hey, i can loot from the random houses around here and no one's gonna mind? am i getting that right?

[nishizono]

[ oh my fucking— ]

what fucking rock have you been living under that you've never had a shitty hotdog???

hey now

[nishizono]

yeah, the ramen's kind of a full meal compared to the others.

and hey, passive-aggression started a world war, don't knock it. that's like... the second world war for you or something.

[nishizono]

yeah, for the paste and the toppings. and olives. olives are great.

i'm fucking hungry now, thank you.

[nishizono]

humanity is bullshit. they pretend to be gods and then ask for salvation when they fuck it up.

humanity is its own problem.

[scarecrowed]

it cannot be that odd.

[ It's really odd, Lucas. ]

what exactly am i missing out on?

[nishizono]

of course they are, even regular earphones can get loud when the surroundings're really quiet.
plus, better sound quality.

what kinda station was it? was it like a ghost station or something? was it there that you met me the first time?

[nishizono]

there's tentacles and you're only just realizing the porn aspect? come on now.

...though, point taken. that'd be a boring class if he were regular.

[nishizono]

do you even have potato chips or, like, fries??? does your world have potatoes?!

[scarecrowed]

potatoes exist, yes.

[ But nobody's made them into anything awesome. ]

but i do not recognize most of what you mentioned.

[ Someone get this guy pizza and fries, stat. ]

[nishizono]

you're a damn tragedy. we need to get you potato fries, stat.

what world did you come from again? so i can never visit it.

[scarecrowed]

[ His whole life is tragedy. ]

oz.

you would not like it there if food is so important to you. [ It's very basic there, everything is cooked over fires, etc. ]

[nishizono]

[ snot is ugly. tears are ugly. pain and suffering are ugly when externalized, and maybe it's just the bullshit that he's been fed as a child that makes him think this, but it's a little piece of opinion that he believes in. pain is for keeping, and suffering is for bearing, both meant to be carried until they calcify into bombs that scorch the earth in their wake upon explosion.

tetora wipes his face swiftly with the sleeve of his jumper, careful to avoid the rivets and to muffle the sound of his breathing; he's ugly. he's an ugly, unlovable piece of shit for suffering so much through his skin, and he hates that this man's warm embrace feels like a beautiful thing. ]

i've been getting drugged since i was ten, i'm practically immune to rehab.

[ the candyman, ever so aptly named, made sure of it. tetora isn't joking around when he says he could die without the drugs; his immune system is so fast-paced it compromises itself, and slowing his heartrate down to keep it from overworking itself into a seizure is just par for the course. getting drugged up was part and parcel of living for so many years that when tetora finally got forced to live clean, he acted out as if he had a psychosis.

he can't bring himself to look at hotdog just yet, too; his gaze is to his feet when he types out the rest of his response: ]

i wasn't the easiest kid to handle.

[nishizono]

oz, like the toto we're not in kansas thing?

shit what was it called

god, whatever, it doesn't have potato fries, i don't care what it's called

where are you?

[scarecrowed]

you know toto? [ How the hell did he know the damn dog?? ]

in my house. why?

[nishizono]

i meant which house, dumbass. [ can he afford to be nicer? yes. will he? hmmmMMMMMM. ] i'm coming over. forget about the dog, this is more important.

[scarecrowed]

[ Fine, forgetting about the dog, but he'll ask again later. ]

12 if you're so insistent.

[...]

These statements are not mutually exclusive. They are, after all, the source of most of their troubles after the meteor struck.

[nishizono]

you realize that resilient fuckups are the worst for everything they end up involved in, right?

[nishizono]

[ what the fuck ]

christ on a shitting cracker, i'm in your garage.

[lilithsoul]

I am aware, yes. Why?

[Because she didn't understand what the issue might be. She really wasn't stating a value judgment so much as simply stating what she perceived as facts. She really wasn't prone to making value judgments or arguing about them, so she didn't quite understand others' issues at times.]

[nishizono]

[ tetora, on the other hand, is more than used to making judgments in the blink of an eye. sometimes, it's those calls that decide whether he lives or he dies. ]

an inefficient system needs to either reboot, or get rewritten.

you can't exactly rewrite humanity in the blink of an eye. not without cost.

[justbeingknife]

'Or something'? There's only two of 'em to begin with. Whattaya sayin', they're gonna throw in a couple more of 'em for shits and giggles?

[ If this is more timey-wimey bs, he sWEARS TO GOD ]

[nishizono]

[ he'll be nice and not be a shit for a change. ]

there's only ever been two where i come from, but with the rate people are acting up in my timeline? a third one's about due.

don't worry, you'll probably be dead by then.
