i don't know how to explain to you why it's funny people getting hurt is funny people doing weird shit is funny who hurt u so much that u can't enjoy memes
are we at the point where i can unravel your tragic backstory yet
bert our entire acquaintanceship is based around me trying to get u high. i know jack shit about you when u get down to it. here's the part where you decide if it's ever gonna be anymore than that we're on the cusp here
you can't give me grief for it. or about it, i mean. and there's two parts to it but i don't really know if i can trust you with the first half|
i dont mean it in a bad way, it's|
I was involved in some really bad stuff when I was a kid, so I've only told one person about it here and that's only because I know he can keep a secret.
[Okay, she knows he doesn't mean it in a bad way, but she can't help but feel a little. Not so much hurt- maybe stung would be slightly better. A little less deep than outright hurt, yeah- that he would thin he can't trust her or that she would just. Blab to whoever. Like, she doesn't blame him for hesitating and it's totally irrational, but sometimes that's just like, how you feel man.]
hey i may be a piece of shit but i'm not the kind of piece of shit that's gonna go telling people your biz. i keep shit.. the real shit locked up tight
[Ordinarily she wouldn't even be this invested, but. Somehow, somewhere along the way she's actually come to like Bert. He's cool- way too high strung, needs that stick loosened a little, hella needs to lighten up, but. Cool. You could kind of say she's come to care about him.
But that's getting mushy and that's not what she's about.]
if it makes u feel better i'll even tell u something i haven't ever told anyone here. except maybe ford, i've probably gotten high and told ford a lot of weird shit.
anyway so im dead. back home, i mean. my best friend used time travel to save my life, then it fucked up the universe and she had to un-save me. that was a pisser.
so now you're like one of the only people who knows that. u dont GOTTA tell me shit, i know some stuff is just. y'know. personal. but u needed to know u can trust me. so.
[If it makes her feel better, he hasn't even told Ford the whole story yet. Of course he wants to! Gods, he desperately wants to tell someone the truth about everything, but part of him is absolutely terrified of the worst case scenario if he does.
It'd be much, much easier to deal with if he weren't the only one from Marley here, but what can he do?]
He's actually the one who... sort of knows, I guess. He doesn't know everything about it yet, but he knows things that would probably ruin my life here if people found out. At the very least they wouldn't look at me the same way anymore but uh...
[Even admitting that is scary.]
You're not| you're not the only one in that position though. I hate thinking about it, but I found out that I die back home too. except in my... time?? i'm not sure| either way i'm still alive for myself but... i die in the future and i think it happens really soon. or it would if i ever get sent back. i've told a couple people about it already and i don't know how it happens except i'm pretty sure it happens trying to save my best friend.
I know it worked too because i've seen him here a couple times but he's uh. not the same.
honestly if i could time travel like that i'd probably do it all over again but find a way where we both live, even if the world gets a little messed up in the process.
For the most part, she's fine. But when things get this deep, she really wishes she had a nice fat bowl to smoke. She could if she put some effort, but she doesn't want Bert to think she's leaving him hanging. That would be rude and she's a lot of things, but when it matters the most she's not a bitch. Mostly.]
we should start a club "i died and confided in ford and all i got was this lousy t-shirt" i bet we'd get a lot of members right
[She jokes because it's how she copes.]
i dunno tho a little messed up is putting it lightly try a tornado trying to destroy an entire town because the universe is angry u didnt die
should i ask how he isn't the same or is that like a Too Soon thing
[The next best step is cramming all sorts of food in ones mouth. Food is always good.]
maybe?? i don't know a lot of people who died though.
but uh... i don't know what a tornado is either but i think i'd prefer it over to what we had back inside the walls or the stuff that could happen to us at any minute when we were fighting.
as for him, um... between me dying and when i saw him again here, around four years passed. he looked like he was just sort of... done with everything.
[Part of that was also from the whole Curse of Ymir - Reiner didn't have that many years left in him, but beyond that? Hooooo boy.]
if we can get them with long sleeves, sure. i've never been that big on shorter sleeves.
[What? He doesn't like the weird stares he gets!]
i've never seen anything like that. i mean... there'd be a lot of wind in fights and i saw an entire town leveled to the ground once from a big blast of wind but it wasn't anything like that. that was caused more or less from um...
from a bomb. explosion. sort of. it was big.
i'm still in the islands though for the time being. i want to head back home to blackthorn soon though - i have to make sure my house is okay and stuff up in the mountains. and maybe get my cooking supplies back up there too since jean still has them in his room.
awww man everyone is always on the other side of the universe here its like you cant just make plans with someone and boom traveling is always a thing u gotta do okay well whatever raincheck on the movie night i GUESS
here watch this it does it better justice than i could explain it
man tho that mustve been a big ass explosion an entire town?? jesus
i'm... mostly worried about losing someone down here. i've already lost a couple people i know and| well uh. i just want to keep an eye on him for a little while. i haven't been too keen on living in the islands for awhile, you know?
[He likes his own space now! Sharing a room and all that with one or two people is fine - more if he knew them from home - but more than that? It's a little cramped.]
it doesn't help that most of the town was already partially in ruins before, i mean... it was part of a war. just| don't tell anyone about it. i was there when i was... ten? ten-ish?
with all that wind though, couldn't everyone just hide underground until it went away? or build an underground city where it couldn't reach them?
nah it fine i get it but u gotta hit me up next time you're on land
im not gonna tell anyone stop worrying about that the entire situation sounds hella fucked up man was there anything good about your universe?? jfc but i guess it doesnt sound too far from america. yikes.
well i mean yeah sometimes you do go underground but like you dont always know when a tornado is about to happen and not everyone has a basement sometimes you just get screwed by nature
america is the country i lived in on earth which was the planet in a backwater town called arcadia bay in oregon i realize as i type this its irrelevant because you have no idea what im talking about it was a pit thats all i really gotta say on the matter
honestly it just sounds like were both better off here so im glad this is where we ended up and this is gonna sound gross but something about this convo is making me mushy so im gonna say im glad that we ended up friends im never ever repeating that so this is your one chance to read it before this message self destructs
is it anywhere near a place called gravity falls? i uh| i've heard that place before oregon i mean. i've never been anywhere near it though since uh... well it's i spent my entire life living behind walls. actual walls. compared to here, my childhood home was... really bad.
but i'm with you on that. with things being better here.
and two things, um. i'm not as mad at you anymore and two i found where the screenshot buttons are on this thing.
i think i'd still take it over everything back home. giant wind storms like that and the weird things that happen in gravity falls is uh. way better than giants that can be almost as big as the big shopping center in goldenrod
and i kind of?? i was still pretty pissed off that you lied to me but it died down after awhile but i was still a little upset about it. i really liked cooking and all of that so it sort of took the joy out of it for awhile
[Like, she'd already apologized before but. She hadn't realized at the time how he took it to heart. Hearing that she took joy out of something for someone, that's... not okay with her. Because she's had people take the joy out of things for her, and sometimes that's. All you have.
So now she's apologizing and she realizes what for.]
it was. selfish. of me to lie to you like that i was in a weird place and all i cared about was just. getting what i wanted. because i thought i was entitled to it so i lied without even thinking of how it would make you feel and im hella sorry i did that it was shitty you dont deserve that
