-timaeusTestified.
-Orange is Dirk.
-(Which actually should have been in the CotL memory, but here too anyway.)
-hanging out in my room!
-And there's my dapper cat in a suit.
-...sure do have a shelf of mutated cat corpses on my shelf.
-Talking to Dirk, and he's looking for me~
-Had just woken up from a crazy dream.
-I am here, but my dream self is somewhere else, and hasn't returned.
-"tying one the fuck on tight already." (Making note of this because I didn't know this phrase. Means drinking to get drunk instead of fun.)
-MAYBE I AM.
-Dirk is not happy at how drunk I am.
-SOOOOOOO DRUNK.
-Man, that typo was totes intentional. (Half intentional.)
-Dirk has a habit of spying on my dream self on Derse.
-I also have a habit of getting drunk and my dream self goes off in a drifting stupor away from Derse, all independent of my waking self.
-Dirk will usually go and drag dream selfie back.
-Like a Prince Charming~
-He won't this time because there's a problem and it's better my dream self isn't in dodge.
-Boy fucked up.
-And he is just going to keep the mystery to himself and over cerebralize as he tries to deal with it.
-As he does. =/
-WHATEVER, he can deal, let's talk about my dream instead.
-Bunch of boring dreaming that I can't remember, but then I woke up from the dream!
-And saw my daughter!
-Dunno why I do, just a feeling, pretty sure that happens in regular dreams.
-Dirk doesn't know about these dreams.
-But I'm pretty sure it happens for regular people dream!
-Idk, maybe prophetic.
-Prospit Dreamers are near Skaia.
-And because of that, they can get prophetic stuff.
-The abyss does not work like that.
-There is only terrible, terrible horror.
-I'm not saying it's future dream, I just thought it was cool and wished it was real!
-The game supplies many mechanics for all sorts of powers, including prophecy.
-Dirk is sassing.
-Dick. =T
-Hey.
-Get Dirk.
-Ever think about us having kids? =D
-(Subtle as a freight train.)
-Dirk thinks it'd be inconvenient to have them and never thought about what they would be like.
-So boring eccentric guy.
-Thinking about it now.
-"Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody."
-That.
-Actually kind of hurts and makes her really sad to read.
-And just kind of goes passive aggressive.
-Don't need to suck the fun out of it!
-Not like I expect or think it's even possible for you to give me babies.
-LE SIGN.
-Yes, it's LE SIGN.
-I am sticking with LE SIGN, I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP.
-And now he's digging.
-You know what it means.
-YOU KNOW.
-I WILL SPELL IT OUT!
-Le sign, forever meaning too bad he's gay.
-Dirk thinks the term gay is antediluvian. =|
-You only want to bang dudes, bro.
-That is the definition of gay.
-Even if it's a nuanced topic and the term is dated because it's from like when people were actually alive.
-And if you weren't gay you wouldn't be all not wanting to have anything to do with me. ):
-Even in her sad and hurt feelings, still so much love for this dude.
-Dirk has more to do with me than any dude could bargain for and he likes it just fine.
-Okay, that makes her feel a bit better. Romance is not an option, BUT HE STILL CARES FOR HER A LOT.
-So lame and sweet, coolkid.
-Dirk is the master of subject change.
-Worried about me running Jane's connection.
-(Wait, but didn't I do Jake?)
-Still not sure about touching this game with a 20 foot 3dent because the witch had plans and she needs us too. =T
-Not so settled, sorry Dirk.
-I keep trying to warn Jane, but she keeps thinking I'm full of crap. =T
-For some reason, Jane doesn't believe stuff about the dangers yet, but she will. =|a
-I know I shouldn't try to convince her and usually don't.
-But it's saddening that my bff won't believe the fact the baroness has done some shitty things to us.
-Our upbringing.
-And that my mom is dead.
-Dirk has an easier time because he thinks it's reasonable from her perspective.
-Especially as Jane had the media coverage on their guardians being alive and well.
-And that they never actually got to play the parental role is too weird for her to really understand.
-(Wait what.)
-For most people.
-Not Jake.
-So I should give her some slack.
-Also the fact the game has a means of revival is why I investigated the game in the first place.
Meaning
WAIT WHAT.
So the reassurance that Dirk still cares deeply for Roxy, he just can't be romantically into her, is very nice and sweet. '^' That's about all that pleasant in the memory.
First off, general info gained that's just kind of neutral. There are Derse and Prospit Dreamers. Considering Derse is probably all purple, this may explain why that other her was purple was indeed her dream self. Also Derse is near the Abyss, which is probably the void, which makes sense for what she knows.
Prospit dreamers may be able to see into the future.
As is, Dirk and her are Derse Dreamers. She has a tendency to drift off, so sleep walking may just be a thing with her. Dirk usually brings her back when she does this, but can't now. For some reason he's aware of his dream self? While she's is unaware. Dream self things is probably why her dreams are actually abnormal when compared to most.
Why they're Derse Dreamers and stuck around when Derse is the Batterwitch's planet, SHE DOES NOT KNOW and it's just more confusion.
Second, Roxy was being pretty dickish to Dirk! She was genuinely excited by daughter dream, but then it mixed with all her feelings for Dirk and there was definitely some passive aggressive antics going on. She doesn't WANT to be mad at Dirk, but she kind of is, and is drunk so is acting on those impulses. It's just more confirmation for Roxy that she was a travesty with Dirk and it sucks because he's super important to her, romance or no. ):
Third, that point where she was still waffling about the game. Convinced that this is part of the Batterwitch's plan. Dirk seems to agree.
Fourth, WHY DOESN'T JANE BELIEVE HER ABOUT THE DANGER? Shouldn't this be obvious? But the way they're talking implies that no, for some reason it's not obvious for Jane. As is the fact everyone is dead. And upbringing. And it hurts Roxy because it's true, but Jane won't believe her, even though Roxy knows it's reasonable for her not too. Just hurts to not be trusted. But WHY is a question Robin has and she has an answer because she knows time shenanigans are happening and she's going to come to about the right conclusion and HATE IT.
+Wanting to be believed when she says things.
+Trying to not be so skeptical of good people.
Fifth, what about mom not ever playing the role of my mom. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. WHY WOULDN'T SHE. There will be so much distress here as Robin tries to figure it out and what it ultimately means.
Sixth, and finally, HAHA SHE WAS THE ONE WHO INVESTIGATED THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE. FML. She may be the reason all her friends ever got dragged into that clusterfuck. That...that won't be a good feeling.
