wow
i definitely didnt see this coming!
who knew that one day you could just wake up and be casually informed everything you thought youd lived before was complete fiction
i sure didnt
but
hmmmmm
it sounds just a tad
suspicious
dont you think?
i dontt really know whats going on but im not sure i automatically believe it just because somebody said it
my life felt pretty real to me you know and i am fairly certain somewhere along theres probably a philosophical paradigm to justify all of this in between the complexities of space time and consciousness
your fiction could be my reality in an alternate dimension, what about that?
or!
what if this were the fiction??
ooh that would be a twist!!
it definitely sounds like something out a book or maybe one of those sci fi tv shows where theyre always trying to trip you up
surprise it was just a dream all along!
you know what i mean?
anyway
im aradia
if any of my friends were chosen to be told that they are actually fictional entities and now we are finally experiencing real life please let me know so we can meet up again and compare notes on our fictional existences and timelines

hmmmm
i dont know
i have significantly more trouble believing in a man named principal dinkerton than i do dave strider or aradia megido
it sounds like a name somebody completely unfamiliar with naming practices would make up to attempt to pass someone off
names dont just appear out of thin air
they have a history
they have to come from somewhere
where would a dinkerton come from???
maybe we should check it out

[callbacks]

whoa
do you think hes got like
a shady past or something
is he like the dude in the jaden bourme movies
he doesnt really look like he could be played by matt damon though i guess that can only be a compliment
is there a troll matt damon

[maiditoutalive]

i definitely think a shady past is not out of the question
and i think we do!
the name sounds familiar but you would probably have to ask karkat
i am not really a film expert
except for the troll indiana jones movies

[callbacks]

no im not asking karkat
that just sounds like a recipe for disaster
where the disaster is me having to sit down for a movie with him
ive had enough of that for like six lifetimes
speaking of karkat hes here
ive got a list if trolltown hasnt checked in yet

[maiditoutalive]

i think its for you and karkat to bond like that
you both are very similar in that you feel that the best way to relate to somebody is to give them as hard a time as you possibly can before you can try to build a relationship with them
so i am sure you two have plenty to talk about
and yes i would like to know who is here if you dont mind informing on them to me

[callbacks]

wow no i am not like karkat and we are not bonding
there is nothing at all similar about us
i am one hundred percent prime grade untamed awesome
while karkat is a raging tool
i think im offended
but since im such a magnanimous guy that in no way ever gives anybody a hard time ill tell you who alls here
on our end its me john rose jade and bird me
and also roses teen mom and my teen bro
and then for you guys theres karkat eridan feferi sollux kanaya and gamzee
and the shitty rapper
tavros??

[maiditoutalive]

you know part of the similarity is that if i had said the same thing to him
he would probably reply with much the same statements
only your positions would be reversed
he would also be offended by the comparison
i think you will just have to accept the likeness dave!
but i appreciate you being such a magnanimous guy anyway
so thank you dave

i thought tavros was getting better at rapping though

[callbacks]

where the fuck does he get off being offended
karkat can only dream of being this irresistible to troll ladies and human chicks alike
and also just generally fucking chill and suave
he can try to hang out with john as much as he wants to make himself look good
im still the injured party here

speaking of injuries
no
your horn buddy definitely hasnt gotten better
it was almost painful how badly he failed to burn me

[maiditoutalive]

wow
forgive me dave
i did not know you were a ladies man
somehow i must have missed all these troll ladies and human chicks swooning in your presence when we met
perhaps i was just blinded by your suave and did not see it

i am not sure why you both insist on playing with sick fires anyway
it seems kind of dangerous??
and also not really relevant to rap

[callbacks]

yeah obviously
check in with terezi for your blind people readjustment counseling
or well
you could if she was here
which shes not
loser

and yeah about that
generally
the sick fires are metaphorical
but whatever he can pack literal heat if it makes him feel better its no toast off my corpse

[maiditoutalive]

oh i thought that was a literal thing you did
when you two met in a dream bubble he was carrying fires
i had assumed it was a rapper tradition to bring flame to a
rap meeting?
much in the same way gamzee honks because of his religion

[callbacks]

jam session
or beatdown depending
and i thought he just did that because he was fucking shithive

[maiditoutalive]

i don't think the two are mutually exclusive
they may actually be linked
that reminds me
how has it been going with him?

[callbacks]

do you mean with sir juggalo lord of the weird threats
i dunno its fine i guess
i dont know why everyone keeps making a big deal out of me talking to him its not like hes tried anything

[maiditoutalive]

are you asking me to explain or is this a critique on everyone else considering it cause for concern?

[callbacks]

mostly its criticism of karkats inability to calm his fucking tits
but yeah i guess im curious
i only talked to the dude like twice whys everyone think hes got it in for me specifically

[maiditoutalive]

are you sure you want me to completely one hundred percent honestly answer that question?

[callbacks]

uh
yes??
if theres a legit and actual reason besides that my bloods just this fragrant bouquet of roses to trollkind

[maiditoutalive]

that is not the reason
that is not even true for anyone as far as i know except for terezi
you do not smell like a bouquet of roses to me
as i recall you smelled like wind and also like sweat and narrowly averted death which is something quite different
the reason gamzee does not like you is because you do not take anything very seriously
i mean to some extent that is not a bad thing so i dont blame you for it
i dont think most of us took gamzee very seriously up until the point when we realized he was very serious about killing us and by then it was too late for some
you are sort of oblivious about the things you do not take seriously when you should take them seriously until you realize that they are in fact serious?
because i think it is easier for you to pretend that it is a joke even to yourself even though i know you know somewhere that it is not a joke at all
not all the time!
but the fact that you are not taking it seriously even now is one of those times
its ok
it will always ensure that we have very interesting conversations
in some ways i think it is even a rather necessary trait for a time player to have
to be able to recognize that not everything is quite so serious as the immediate perspective would lead you to believe or to be able to see that it is only a smaller part of a larger plan for the future

[callbacks]

whoa
ok well regarding the smell thing id just popped out of a sun so like
cut me a little slack
as for the rest
arent clowns supposed to have senses of humor

[maiditoutalive]

yes
but nobody said it had to be a very good sense of humor

[callbacks]

point
either way ive been trying to stay out of his hair but you know
have you seen his hair
its like trying to avoid the fucking jungle

[maiditoutalive]

yes dave
i have in fact seen gamzees hair and agree that it is big
but not impossible to avoid?

[callbacks]

camp doesnt help either
also he lives in the room right above mine
besides i cant help that everybody wants on this it comes with the territory

[maiditoutalive]

what did you say to make yourself that irresistible?
