JOHN: ... TEREZI: WH4T? JOHN: i mean, even though everything in this timeline is about as shitty as it gets... JOHN: that still seems kinda sad. ROXY: yeah ROXY: i think them is just the breaks dude JOHN: i guess so. JOHN: what do you think you will do with the time you have left? ROXY: ummmm ROXY: idk shit around all melancholy for a spell ROXY: question my life choices ROXY: probly bury my mom somewhere in the desert ROXY: give her a quick funeral ROXY: says goodbye to her an everything else ROXY: and then ROXY: curl up into a ball ROXY: and wait to unexist? JOHN: holy shit that's the saddest thing i've ever heard! JOHN: argh, why'd you even have to tell me that! ROXY: hey u asked JOHN: no, that sucks! JOHN: don't do that. ROXY: meh why not JOHN: because it's stupid plan for crappy idiots. ROXY: j f C what a burn ROXY: i think i might cease to exist just from that burn JOHN: yes, laugh at my truly sick burn if you must, but everyone's getting on my case for being so defeatist, and THAT'S the best plan you can come up with? ROXY: i didnt get on your case for being defeatist tho ROXY: i was actin tons more defeatist than u on account of the emotions from my moms tragic corpse ROXY: the trolls been the one bustin your windsock remember TEREZI: 1T'S TRU3 TEREZI: 1 H4V3 B33N DO1NG TH4T JOHN: yeah, i just think... JOHN: no matter who's going to stop existing when, if i do something proactive, then you should too! JOHN: even if only on principle. ROXY: ..... ROXY: such as? JOHN: why don't you go see your denizen too? ROXY: wat JOHN: that's your denizen there, isn't it? ROXY: no thats a statue JOHN: yes, i know it's a statue. JOHN: i mean, it is a depiction of her, right? ROXY: oh ROXY: yeh JOHN: so if i'm going to see mine, why don't you go see yours too? ROXY: go see nix... ROXY: why JOHN: why not! ROXY: cause im not the hero with the magic "fix literally everything" powers that need masterin JOHN: no, but you still have things to learn, don't you? JOHN: did you ever make that spike ball? ROXY: um no ROXY: but what would even be the point of that anymore JOHN: i dunno. JOHN: it's just a thing you were going to set your mind to, but haven't done yet. JOHN: just like i said i was going to get that magic ring so you can give it to your friend. remember that? ROXY: yeah JOHN: i haven't done that yet either. JOHN: but that doesn't mean i have to give up on that idea. JOHN: what if, after i see my denizen... JOHN: what if i could still do that? ROXY: ... JOHN: i'm just saying, you have no idea what there is to learn from her. JOHN: maybe finding out what there is to learn is most of what there is to learn? JOHN: what if making alien spike balls is only the beginning of understanding your powers? JOHN: what if she can help you channel some sort of incredible... voidey thing? ROXY: voidy thing JOHN: yes, like a windy thing, but with void instead of wind. ROXY: whats a windy thing JOHN: a windy thing is obviously a bunch of damn wind blowing around! ROXY: soo ROXY: ur saying she can teach me to make void blow around JOHN: no! JOHN: i didn't mean it that literally. JOHN: i mean, maybe something more abstract? like, i dunno... JOHN: learn to phase out of reality, and somehow preserve yourself in the void, even if i alter history... JOHN: so that maybe when the time is right, you can just... pop back into reality? ROXY: wow ROXY: u rly think she can tell me how to do that JOHN: i have no idea! JOHN: i'm just saying... JOHN: who knows? ROXY: not to be a wet windsock john but that sounds far fetched as heck JOHN: ok, yes, probably. JOHN: it just feels shitty leaving you here to have a sad funeral, and then stop existing. ROXY: sometimes john ROXY: u just gotta throw a sad funeral for ur dead teen mom and then stop existing ROXY: LE SHRUG JOHN: le shrug my LA BUTT! JOHN: i'm not going to see my denizen unless you agree to see yours. JOHN: that is the deal, and that's final.
