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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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'.

It was supposed to be an insult but I suppose that don't work on your types.

Forget it. Like I said, maybe I am a coward. So I'm deserved a coward's ending.

The ending people get don't have anythin' to do with what they deserve, ya know.

C'mon, you can at least think about it. What kind of ending do you want?

[a long beat]

Honestly, if you guys weren't involved, I'd be fine with things staying like this. It was peaceful. I was happy.

But it's a selfish ending, and no one else would be happy. And it wouldn't sit right with me, taking what I want and let everyone else suffer.

So, that's why I'll accept what happens.

Hmm.

Those ain't exactly the only two options.

. . .? And what's the third?

There're plenty of other options. You could start by tellin' Blossom that all this makes you happy. That you wanna still be able to do stuff like this when all this is over. You actually done that? I kinda get the idea she thinks everyone is miserable and she has to fix everythin' all on her own...

And you could tell her you wanna help make that happen.

[COMMUNICATE? HIS FEELINGS? fucked right UP]

Sounds too simple.

Well, it ain't exactly like you're done after that. There's plenty of other stuff to do. But you'll at least be movin' forward and not just lyin' down waitin' for the world to wash over ya.

[uuuuugh]

Since when did you start making sense?

I always make sense.

[* as long as he is talking about this one specific topic]

[internal wheeze]

Uh huh.

Maybe I'll think about it. That's a choice, yeah? Depends on if you bozos come back alive after picking a fight with the king.

'Course. It's your choice. You can decide to give up and just lay around even if it's stupid.

[...]

Pickin' a fight? I thought they were goin' into his mind palace to change his heart or whatever.

[is there anything more irritating than a weed calling him stupid. Stormy does not think so. gosh.]

That is picking a fight. Soul or mind, dreams can manifest into reality here. So maybe you all will actually get shit done, or maybe you'll curse us further.

I kinda wanna see what happens.

You keep sayin' "you all" like we're all agreed on it or somethin'. I don't really like it, myself. I'd rather just fight 'im.
