Uhh...

Are the lights super bright for anyone else? Like you've got to the eye doctor and they put those drops in your eyes... but you haven't gone to the eye doctor?

That sounds like a dare.

[ Anakin is so defeatist and it's so sad. ]

[darkforcerising]

The loss on that bet are highly depressing, you know?


[ It's true, but for reasons ]

[bearshermark]

I think I'll have to. Maybe not right away, but I'm not good at lying or keeping things from her, so.

But I don't want to worry her either.

[darkforcerising]

I'm not sure I should tell anyone.

[neverjedi]

Then I won't lose.

[darkforcerising]

Any particular reason you're willing to make a promise like that for someone you barely know?

[neverjedi]

Self-awareness and an investment in not being a horrible person?

[darkforcerising]

Not every good person you meet is someone you can be friends with.

[neverjedi]

No, but every person I meet is someone I can treat with human respect and decency.

And disappearing is not doing that.

[darkforcerising]

Look, I'm not trying to calling you a bad person.

But people can't promise not to disappear.

I'm not going to hold anyone to that expectation.

[neverjedi]

It doesn't matter what you hold me to or your expectations are.

[darkforcerising]

Isn't it, though?

[neverjedi]

Your expectations matter to you, of course.

But they don't... determine my actions, or lack thereof. Or my standards for myself.

[darkforcerising]

People just don't stick around long in my life. I'm not expecting that to change any time soon. And I won't hold it against you.

[neverjedi]

[ This fucking kid. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

[bearshermark]

You think it would be better not to?

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh good lord, no. I was rather hoping we would revive the 1920s instead. Both were eras of excess, but at least the 1920s had better music and certainly better fashion sense.

Still, better than the 1990s.

[darkforcerising]

I just think maybe some people don't need to think I'm crazier than I already am.

[bearshermark]

Yeah.

Yeah.

I could try that.

[darkforcerising]

It seems like you have a lot of resentment for the 80s and 90s.

[darkforcerising]

Maybe feel her out first. See what she thinks about reincarnation.
