Hey, it's true. I know not all worlds have 'em, but you've seen Grim Eyes, haven't you? It's the same thing. [ he thinks about it ] I guess I know a couple more than one. But I only really know Donald.
Well. I got really fed up and I gave this big speech about how I didn't sign up for the shit they were making me do, I threw my apron on the ground, it was all very dramatic.
[A beat.]
And then I realized my bosses were both aliens, so that took some of the impact out of it.
Roger that. [ ... well, technically, that sort of happened in Radiant Garden, didn't it? huh. ] Maybe this is the real reason there's so many rules about going to other worlds.
[ aliens is not the reason, axel, and you know it. ]

Hey, nah, it's in the past. I got her back. I always get my friends back. Always.
no subject
That's... an impressive level of stubbornness.

no subject
What'd you have to do to get her back? Unless that's part of the long story.
no subject
Yeah. A pretty messed up, complicated part of it.
[ he at least has the decency to look sheepish ]
no subject
I've got an idea. Let's swap a milder, more uncomplicated part of our long stories.
no subject
Uh. Sure? What did you have in mind?
no subject
Dealer's choice?
no subject
[ god, okay, fine. he looks up to the sky, obviously racking his brain for something. it... probably should not take him this long, really. ]
Hm, well... [ when in doubt?? talk about??? his friends?? but his friends are a big, complicated part of it???? ] I know a talking duck?
[ that was literally nothing, lea. nothing. ]
no subject
Right, sure you do. Very funny.
[emma there's a talking bird here why are you assuming this is a joke]
no subject
no subject
Why do you have gravity defying hair and a duck friend?
[is she starting a list]
no subject
[ he looks like he has never thought about whether he should count Donald Duck as a friend or not before, because he hasn't. ]
Everyone from his world is talking animals. Y'know, duck, mouse, dog, chipmunks...
no subject
[closes eyes]
Anyways, was that the entire story, or...?
no subject
[ he does not tell her they made his phone, because he's nice. and also because she just shamed him ]
Okay, so I couldn't think of anything. Everything's so interconnected, it's a major brainache trying to untangle something decent out of it.
no subject
Yeah... I think I get it, actually. Well, not the story, obviously, but the whole interconnected part.

And then I realized my bosses were both aliens, so that took some of the impact out of it.
[oh]
no subject
[ he knows what aliens are, he's just Shook ]
Wait, is that the... is that what was possessing people in your world?
no subject
Word of advice. If an unexplained meteor ever crash lands in your town, leave immediately.
