Given what you've experienced in this world, would you return to your own if given the choice?

Comments

[h2no]

that's almost the least of the problems here, though i think maybe the cause of some of the others
its just like
there's a machine running but its missing a couple of gears, so its making a lot of noise, jerking and generally just working but not properly or well

[d33tached]

You've ceased to make any sense.

[Though, he totally gets what you're trying to say. He's just mad that there's not a more concrete way to explain it. And that's what he's trying to get at, here.]

Do you sense some sort of instability about this world?

Related to the Porter, perhaps?

[Dylan "Why Can't Everything Just Be Black and White?" McAvoy.]

[h2no]

i obviously haven't because your follow up question implies you understood the metaphor
and yes
but that's probably because of the fucking cold war that's apparently going on
if you want to have a smaller scope: again, yes, and definitely because of the porter
it's all nice and fun having people writing articles about you and your boss but there's probably just as many, if not more, people who would prefer you and kaneki take a long walk off a short pier because you're imports

[d33tached]

[But if one were to take a long walk off of a short pier, then they would merely end up in the o-- OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.]

I don't see what Kaneki has to do with this, but I suppose you would be correct on that front.

Do you believe that it is the presence of ImPorts which is corrupting this world, then?

[h2no]

because you're friends
if you're in the public eye but associate with anyone else, then you drag them into it without meaning to
believe me, i want you and him to have a nice quiet life as much as you do
i don't know
maybe?
we're all from different worlds, i'm amazed there's no real scientific reason why this world hasn't like, collapsed in on itself.
like i'm not a scientist but i'm pretty sure physics doesn't really make sense here
even the weird powers pokemon have at home had SOME kind of reason for it, like an organ or whatever

i think maybe the cold war and import extremists are corrupting the world
i know more than most people how extremism, no matter how benign-seeming, can ruin everything from the ground up

[d33tached]

There are a great many things about this world that make little to no sense. On that, I can agree with you.

I suppose that after a while I simply stopped questioning such discrepancies. Doing so seems rather useless given our situation.

[But, he did ask, so.]

[h2no]

i just don't understand why everything has to be so negative

[d33tached]

As far as I can tell, Archie, that is simply the way that life tends to be.

[As if that isn't coming from the most biased person in the universe. "It's foolish to think otherwise", he almost adds, but he knows Archie won't want to hear it.]

[h2no]

no shit its just like it goes OUT THE WAY to be bad here

[d33tached]

It could be worse.

[Much worse.]

[h2no]

after that fucking house? i doubt it

[d33tached]

A house?

What are you talking about?

[h2no]

uhh the creepy haunted house that trapped people for three days last month and trumatised everyone? we all died a bunch of times?

[d33tached]

I wasn't aware that you were involved with that.

[He also doesn't know that that's where his boyfriend disappeared to for several days - maybe don't tell him that?]

[h2no]

[fortunately, archie doesn't know either and if he did, he still wouldn't mention it.]

yeah big time
i was doing so well too now im back to daily breakdowns :////
maxie was there to i


couldn't save him. sorry.

[d33tached]

He's alright now, isn't he?

[h2no]

alright is a stretch
hes alive

[d33tached]

I see.

I suppose the same would go for you, then?

[The not being alright part, that is.]

[h2no]

yes

[d33tached]

[What does he say here? Sorry? It's not like it's his fault. But at the same time he...would prefer it if Archie didn't suffer? What's that about?]

You will recover in time.

[Yeah, that probably doesn't help.]

[h2no]

[it's pretty terrible, but archie knows d33, so he also knows what it means and how hard it must've been.]

thanks, nerd
i'll be fine

[d33tached]

Very well, then.
