WHENST DAY 110

[DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY(S)

Maybe you're prepping for some bad decisions! Maybe you're organizing shit. MAYBE YOU ARE SIMPLY VIBING AND WAITING FOR THIS TO PASS OVER.

Either way, maybe time to knock stuff out.

no really do it for my sake so i'm not juggling it while running a heart game next week--

anyway what up!!! maybe some dudes are wandering about as well.]

Don't matter what I know about you, either.

Everyone's got their own will and their own desires. Ain't no one in the world who's nothin' but their duty.

Well ain't you a philosopher. That's all fine and dandy, but the point is, it doesn't matter what I want.

I'm gonna do what's needed. Otherwise, no one's gonna get what they want.

I dunno about that. But either way, you can want somethin' and still decide to do somethin' else. And it don't hurt anythin' to tell me what it is, right?

Why do you care?

I had to go through and watch you bein' an idiot a bunch, so I'm interested now. And I wanna see how much of an idiot you're gonna be next.

How am I the idiot???

[he's very much the idiot]

Not "the." All three of ya are idiots.

[immediately]

Neither of them are idiots. None of that was their fault.

I don't care about the murder and whatever. I care about all of ya sittin' around smilin' and pretendin' everything's fine when you hate everythin' that's happenin'.

I never said any of this was fine.

[crosses his dumb little hooves.]

I just trust whatever Blossom's doing. I wasn't sure why before, but now I know. It's better than anything I tried to do.

Did you even try to do anythin'?

I protect the pasture. And fry anyone who's too shitty.

But for her plan to work, she said I couldn't interfere with you guys. So I'm holding to that. And given the last time I did something I ended up killing a buncha folks, so--[shrugs]

No harm believing in her.

So what, you killed some people one time so you're never gonna plan somethin' for yerself ever again?

Tch. You saw my bullshit, it wasn't just the one time, even if some of those were indirect.

Anyway. As long as it helps you bastards, what does it matter what I do? You get to win, stay here, go home, get wishes, be rid of that stupid collar. It's win/win for you, yeah?

So I guess ya could say my desires are everyone elses. And helping Blossom takes the priority of all of em.

I ain't askin' about what happens to me, I'm askin' about you.

[although that is all good to know]

And there ain't no way I'd ever say your desires are everyone else's.

Hah. What, you saying you don't want to leave and have a happy ending? You're pretty cozy with that girl with the black collar--what's her name, Flare?

What are you gonna do?

...Hn. You think villains get a happy ending? I ain't got a "home" to go back to. My whole world wants me dead, and God's kinda tryin' to kill everyone. If I showed up in Flare's, she'd get banished from polite society. Might manage to get executed on her own, too.

[a pause, and then, with a little bit more vulnerability,]

We talked about it. We're still figurin' out what we wanna do, too. I ain't sayin' it's an easy question to answer.

. . .

[another ear flick and he just snorts, looking back out to the pasture]

Well, ya better figure it out. No matter what happens to us, your threads are gonna be severed sooner or later. You'll need to use the power in that moment to decide your fate.

...We just gotta decide everythin' right then? Where we're goin' and the wish and whatever?

Yup. The power of that wish is can only be activated in our realm, so ya gotta have me or a shepherd grant it right before you go.

Aint fair, is it?

Yeah, who decided that?

Though I ain't big on wishin' anyway... I'd rather do things myself than trust some magic to come in and fix everything.

Just how it is. You can leave without it, if ya want. I ain't gonna stop ya.

. . .

You wouldn't use it for someone else though?

It ain't about it bein' me. It's about not believin' you can just wave a wand and fix things.

That's the thing for you too, ya know. I dunno what that pink sheep is doin', but no matter what it is, it ain't gonna end up with stuff all tied up in a bow with everyone happy and all their problems resolved. That ain't how the world works. It's always messy, and people's wants and desires are always runnin' into and over each other. Everyone has to fight for their little corner of it. If you don't even do that much for yerself, 'cause you think you got a duty to your dad or to Blossom or whatever, you aren't just an idiot, you're a coward.

[floofs the heck up!!]

That's rich comin' from a black collar. You've got no idea what I'd do to make sure--[pause. grits teeth.

defloofs]

Tch, whatever. Maybe I am a coward. If so, whatever happens is deserved.

If I got no idea, it's prob'ly 'cause you ain't sayin' anythin' about it. And I dunno what my collar has to do with anythin'.
