Present and Future [Strern]

[rally]

SA: the start of what/
SA: some kind of joke
SA: that you're going to
SA: draw out
SA: and use to taunt
SA: me
SA: it's so immature
SA: i just
SA: don't know
SA: what to say
SA: i mean
SA: the depths
SA: of the lack of sense
SA: in this whole thing
SA: is just
SA: honestly
SA: astounding
SA: and you thought
SA: i would just
SA: believe all this/
SA: that it would be all
SA: 'oh, human cali'
SA: 'thank you for showing me
SA: how i really feel'
SA: 'now i see how it is'
SA: blah

QW: You don't see how it is.
QW: You won't see how it is until you message me
QW: That's what you said
QW: But hey
QW: We Time players have to stick together
QW: Don't we?
QW: Aside from Lofora you've been the only troll who was't a douche
QW: Veraxe was okay
QW: Tolerable
QW: But come on
QW: Help redeem your race.
QW: Wait
QW: That was probably a bad thing to say.

[rally]

SA: okay
SA: so maybe
SA: it makes a bit of sense
SA: if i help you out
SA: as a more experienced
SA: time player
SA: i get that
SA: but
SA: let's be honest,
SA: no matter what i do
SA: you're going to make
SA: your own judgements
SA: about my race
SA: and i'm going to make
SA: assumptions
SA: and judgements
SA: about your race
SA: but that doesn't mean
SA: i care at all
SA: what you think of me
SA: you can think i'm
SA: whatever you want
SA: this isn't a popularity contest
SA: if it was
SA: gog knows
SA: i would've been out of it
SA: and probably dead
SA: a long time ago
SA: and
SA: my race doesn't need redeeming
SA: the only thing we ever did wrong
SA: was to create
SA: such an awful
SA: universe
SA: as yours

[whimsy]

QW: You're totally superior
QW: In every way
QW: Except
QW: I wasn't raised in a basement.
QW: You told me you would be rude
QW: And that I just needed to bear with it.
QW: Maybe not right now
QW: But soon
QW: You'll warm up
QW: And/or lose that thorny shell.

[rally]

SA: you do
SA: whatever you want
SA: but i honestly
SA: think future me
SA: just trolled you
SA: so hard
SA: you don't even realize it
SA: but
SA: we'll see
SA: maybe
SA: we can help each other
SA: seeing as
SA: you are a time player
SA: and you're not
SA: nearly as stupid
SA: as most of
SA: the other humans
SA: seem to be

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: I wouldn't say that.
QW: I mean they're all pretty smart.
QW: I've just taken more interest in things directly pertinent to you
QW: Such as Time
QW: And troll culture.
QW: But
QW: I am pretty stupid
QW: When it comes to dealing with other people
QW: But you're not my moirail yet
QW: So I won't get into that
QW: You'll forget most of this anyway
QW: Since you didn't remember it in our last conversation.
QW:

[rally]

SA: you're right
SA: i am going to forget
SA: any of this ever happened
SA: not keeping a chat log
SA: not keeping my history
SA: because this is all
SA: bullshit
SA: and you're either trolling me
SA: or future me
SA: trolled you
SA: so
SA: enjoy your little
SA: moment of glory
SA: while it lasts
SA: and next time you message me
SA: make it about something important
SA: like
SA: something i can actually
SA: usefully help you with
SA: because the social game
SA: isn't really
SA: my forte either
SA: but apparently
SA: you know that already

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: I know it quite well
QW: Who else knows it?
QW: Think about it
QW: Where else would I have heard that?
QW: And if future you was trolling me
QW: Why would he admit such a secret?
QW: Which you confirmed as true
QW: And I highly doubt you and your future self coordinated some complex prank
QW: Seriously
QW: I'm the Seer here
QW: But that doesn't mean you have to be blind.

[rally]

SA: future me may have
SA: told you some things
SA: but he'd definitely
SA: not the only one
SA: who could tell you
SA: that my social skills
SA: are poor
SA: you'd be delusional to think
SA: if i was awkward in one instance
SA: i wouldn't be awkward in most others
SA: but you don't need to know
SA: anything else about me
SA: i'm another time player
SA: i'm not here
SA: to be your friend
SA: i'm here to help you
SA: win this game
SA: that's all
SA: you need
SA: to know
SA: ...
SA: and sorry if being a mage
SA: doesn't let me see
SA: nearly as much as you supposedly can
SA: but
SA: that's your job
SA: not mine
SA: you're a time player
SA: and you won't even travel
SA: so let's not start
SA: throwing bullshit like that
SA: around

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: I can travel
QW: I just don't want to
QW: Because it'll get complicated
QW: And besides
QW: It's not your lack of social skills I was talking about
QW: But rather
QW: The being locked in a basement thing
QW: To keep you safe
QW: At least that's what you said
QW: That your lusus did.

[rally]

SA: she didn't want
SA: any lowbloods
SA: like you
SA: getting to me
SA: she taught me
SA: how to hunt
SA: and how to fight
SA: and that's all i need
SA: to protect the highbloods
SA: that's my job
SA: i have to keep
SA: them safe
SA: she didn't do it on purpose
SA: but she raised me
SA: to beat this game
SA: she made me a fighter
SA: and she taught me
SA: how to survive
SA: which is more
SA: than i can say
SA: for most of the other
SA: lusii
SA: so you
SA: watch yourself
SA: and when you talk about her
SA: you'd better
SA: have some respect

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: I have nothing but respect for your lusus.
QW: I never said anything bad
QW: But
QW: I already knew that
QW: Well the protecting the highbloods thing
QW: I mean
QW: I never had a lusus
QW: Who taught me how to fight
QW: So I'm not a fighter
QW: At all
QW: Just
QW: Using my web
QW:
QW: Also
QW: Don't do the killing thing easy.
QW: Only ever did it
QW: Like
QW: Once
QW: With some leopards.

[rally]

SA: okay
SA: from this entire conversation
SA: i'm taking away one worthy thing;
SA: a mental image
SA: of you
SA: human cali
SA: wresting
SA: to the death
SA: with a very large
SA: and quite angry
SA: jungle cat

SA: meow`

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: Well they moved into my garden
QW: And they disturbed the natural ecosystem
QW: That I created
QW: So it wasn't natural
QW: But anyway
QW: I mean
QW: They are dangerous
QW: Had to get tips from Venn
QW: He deals with those things all the time
QW: But
QW: I didn't like it
QW: They needed to go
QW: And apparently most Canadian authorities don't have much experience with leopards.

[rally]

SA: i hope you know
SA: that i have no idea
SA: what a canada is
SA: but this mental image
SA: of you all
SA: tangled up with a wild cat
SA: remains imprinted in my brain
SA: and is actually providing
SA: surprising amounts of entertainment
SA: so i guess
SA: this whole conversation wasn't a complete loss
SA: but i'm still
SA: going to delete my chat logs
SA: so i never have the misfortune
SA: of accidentally
SA: going back
SA: and reading through half
SA: of this bullshit
