Pff.
That was a load of hoof8east shit if I ever heard one!
It doesn't really matter to me which reality is actually real. What's important is that I was 8usy! I had things to take care of. Important things! Save the universe from the 8ig 8ad sort of things.
Not that any of those humans seemed to care. ::::\
Then again, why should they? As far as they know, it's all fake.
Shows what they know!
So, hey! I'm going to take a wild guess and say there's pro8a8ly no easy way out of here.
I don't really have time to w8ste, but I'm not exactly 8eing given a choice!
Lame. How did they 8ring us here? I'm not 8uying all that crap a8out suddenly 8ecoming real or whatever.
Ugh.

Who or what else is here, anyway? I might as well know what I've 8een stuck with here!

Whoa, look. You don't know me, but this guy is evil. Don't do anything he says.

[hypertoxic]

Oh my god. Is interrupting other people's convers8tions just a thing in this place????????
Who are you?

[notvictorious]

Look, I'm just trying to help. My name's Victor, I know some of your friends like John and Karkat and the other kids. I'm a cyborg.

Look, just don't trust anything this guy tells you. He's really bad news and you shouldn't get mixed up in it.

[hypertoxic]

........ huh.
You haven't run into Equius, have you?

How do you know he's 8ad news, anyway???????? Why should I 8elieve you over him?
Trying to help or not, I don't have any real reason to 8uy what either of you are saying!
Unless you can 8ack it up.

[notvictorious]

Yeah, actually. It was exactly what you expect and I don't want to talk about it right now

You should buy it because I know him! He's a really famous super villain where I'm from. He's got this whole human genocide thing which I know, culling is cool for trolls and all, but he'll just use you for his own crappy evil goals! I mean, if you wanna be a super villain, fine, I can't stop you, but he's looking for lackeys.

[notvictorious]

I mean, unless you want to be some dude's gopher while he gets all the credit..

[hypertoxic]

Oh my god.
Are you trying to 8e manipulative????????
Hahahaha! It's almost cute.
8ut you are talking to the 8est there is. And I won't 8e drawn in by your wiggler-level tactics!
Seriously, that was a pretty pathetic attempt.
Anyway, I have no reason to dis8elieve you, 8ut I have no reason to 8elieve you, either!
Any legislacer8or worth her salt would laugh you out of the room.
May8e if you could prove to me that he'd actually murdered anyone here, I might care?
8ut he and I are pretty much in agreement that this whole arrangement is 8ullshit.
Don't tell me you 8uy all that crap a8out us 8eing fake!

[notvictorious]

Yeah, I'm more of an 'appeal to your sense of pity' kinda guy than a master manipulator.

He hasn't murdered anybody here. But that doesn't change the stuff he's done, right? I mean, if you're really sorry about being a bad person, that's one thing, but he's not even acknowledging it. Probably because he hasn't actually done it yet in his timeline, but still! It's real for me!

And hell no, I don't believe I'm fake. This place is messed up and somebody needs to do something about it. I'm just not gonna get rid of one creepy dictatorship for HIS creepy dictatorship.

[hypertoxic]

[ ... with that sort of criteria, he'd probably deem her a super villain, too. After all, how many thousands of trolls did she murder back on Alternia? And she was never really sorry for it, even if she didn't enjoy it, either.

This guy: he's kind of lame. ]

You're from the same universe or whatever?
I guess that might explain it.
SOME of it.
8ut fine. Let's play it your way for a second.
How would you recommend going a8out getting out of this place?

[notvictorious]

Yeah, except I guess I'm just from later on in his timeline. Anyway, somebody showed up and told me I was gonna grow up to be a super villain and I accepted it eventually. It's not like it's impossible. He's just being deceptive.

I don't know how to get out of here. I've been here for two years and I still couldn't tell you. It's not all bad though, people who were dead back home are alive here. uh I get that's not as big of a deal for you judging fro your post and all, but it's a pretty cool thing for a lot of other people, I guess.

[hypertoxic]

If that's true, then what makes you any 8etter and/or more trustworthy than him?
Talk a8out hypocrisy.

Anyway, I still get that. It is possi8le to die permanently where I come from. I just haven't!
8ut that doesn't mean I want to stay here.
Or that I trust the people who 8rought us to this place!
I guess the upshot of all this is that I'm not convinced I shouldn't work with him. All I have is your word, and apparently you're just as 8ad as he is.

[notvictorious]

I don't know. Because I actually believe it's possible I'm a bad guy. He thinks he's right no matter what.

I don't want to stay here either. I hope you and your friends figure out how to get home, sounds like there's a lot of stuff you guys were in the middle of.

[hypertoxic]

Hahahaha, oh man.
You noble hero types are all the same!
8ooooooooring.
Will you get off my 8ack if I promise to 8e good and think a8out it?

No kidding! Saving the world is like wriggler's play to us at this point. It was much 8igger than that. Infinitely so, in fact!
I am definitely not going to sit around and attend human schooling and whatever the fuck else it is people do around here to kill time.
