Backdated to earlier this morning

dave this is future you
youre not going to school today
dont bother trying to call in sick it wont work
theres nothing i can do for you
im sorry
honestly
you have no idea how sincere im being right now
the best you can do is probably turn off your phone and try not to talk to anyone but we both know thats not happening
im leaving now though im not prolonging this bullshit any longer for either of us than i have to
just wanted to warn you man
later

Essentially true.
Though I would advise against conflating them more than is unavoidable.

yeah i know
its pretty obvious theyre different with both of them here
and i know im different from the me that was in your universe
but some things are the same and thats kind of comforting to know i guess

We never met 'our' Dave regardless.
The only thing to compare is a person who was constructed through largely impersonal information gathered hundreds of after his demise.
But I do not find that construct, however imaginary, and you, to be alarmingly different.
That much is true.

he might show up here
i mean
he did before
like i was him for about a week

I should probably clarify, that while I would very much like to meet him, I have no desire for you to be him.
But if he showed up independent of you, yeah, that would be cool.

i came back
obviously
a weeks not that long a time to go without a certain flavor of dave when all flavors are
well
dave
i wanted to say awesome there this curse thing or whatever is cramping my style

Hm.

what

I am processing whether or not I should provide you with certain information I am privy to.
I do not know you well enough to calculate with certainty how you will handle it.
Would you like it regardless?

way to string me along like a two cent saloon girl dude
just tell me

Ok.
As a Strider, I, like you, have a preoccupation with coolness.
How one is cool and what it means.
As a sentient super computer without a lot to do most of the time I have researched this subject exhaustively.
If it were possible to have a PHD in Coolology, I could unironically claim to have earned one.
I have completed the most extensive workload any Ivy League University could come up with a hundred times over.
On that subject alone.
I have studied it historically, philosophically, and of course, ironically.
I have written dissertations.
And most importantly, I have written algorithms.
So when I tell you this, I am speaking with authority on the subject.
Dave Strider, you are supremely, unquestionably, and unironically, cool.

but
i mean
youre a version of my bro youre supposed to say that

True.
But I am also unable to lie at the moment.
And I can assure you that "shit your family tells you to make you feel better" absolutely still constitutes a lie when untrue.

oh
i cant figure the math on this one dude it feels like ive spent the last six months trying to embarrass myself to death

Unsurprisingly, coolness has very little to do with ironic fashion sense, ability to 'score', or remaining apparently aloof at all times.

im more or less with you on clothes and chicks so far
on the fence about the third but we can roll
whats your thesis statement on cool professor shady

It's a fairly short thesis that amounts to being a decent person both in action and intention.
Bonus points for any desirable area that you are well above average in.
Like, being able to flashstep is pretty fucking awesome.
But not required.
And does not score higher than actively trying to make someone's life better just because you can.
So it's pretty easily attainable for a noble dumbass.

[Holy cow.

Dave's kind of speechless.]

whoa

Yeah.

i uh
christ i really dont know what to say to that
its
wow
its pretty much the one thing i never wouldve expected to hear from you or bro but
like
fuck
its the thing i wanted to hear?
for a long time i guess
and didnt know it or know how to even word the concept
i dont know how to feel about this i mean this is a hell of a lot to take in for some reason

This is why I wasn't certain if I should tell you.

i
yeah i dont got a handle on this right now its way too weird
im so far from the handle i cant actually put together a handle tangent right now but
thanks
i dont know what even to do with it yet but im not going to forget it

Edited 2013-01-13 08:54 (UTC)

It's cool.
You know where to find me once you have relocated the handle if you would like to bring it along to further discussion on this topic.

yeah im going to need some time with this
you essentially blew my mind completely and my world is shattered etc but like
no it makes sense too
the stuff bro did
my bro
kidbro too but
yeah

It is a skill that comes naturally to DS as well. Mine and so presumably yours, too.
And much like you he's frequently blind to it.
