ok mr office supply manager id ask why you picked up post it notes but the answer is because youre you also rose does it by being a nosy flighty broad probably alternately its seer of light bullshit but honestly i doubt she needs that to always know more always
only because he isnt here though if he were here youd have to have a competition for my broship (not really)
they were in a bag in the forest and they were cool, so why not? now we have them. same with the christmas lights. i am going to tell her you still call her that. but also i doubt she needs to be a seer to see everything, too.
i do not think my heart could take it. it's ok, dave, i understand that there is unbreakable bond between you and the mayor guy. i'll carry on somehow. (but thanks.) did you see the worms in the sky?
if you tell her that i will tell her something embarrassing about you
also yeah i saw the worms in the sky looked for about two seconds went nope and closed the door please do not tell me you stood around staring a skyworms who were shaking down stardust or whatever even though the creeping feeling in my gut known as dread is telling me you id just that
haha, like rose doesn't already have embarrassing dirt on me anyway! i mean. probably.
anyway, that is not exactly where i was going with that but they were kind of cool to watch? and i didn't stand around staring at them, i eventually sat near our huts to watch instead.
[Now there's a fun game. "Is John Egbert serious or not?"]
john egbert john egbert that was a total avoidance of the answering of my exact question dude please stop getting hit with random effects from shit if youre being serious
fuck off, i was overheating and tired and somehow being outside under the worms fixed both of those. and now i am inside my hut and awake and talking to you again so it turned out totally fine.
[ he would say "how could you not notice that" but. no. it's john. he's not as weirdly "why the fuck am i thinking/feeling that" about anything that doesn't seem to fit. dave was anything but calm after a day of death and teenaged bros and john getting sick, and he knew himself well enough to know that the sudden onslaught of calm wasn't him.
it wasn't like going distant, it was like chilling out. ]
whatever it is, i am not liking this anymore. also your bet is stupid and this should not count? i did not think the crab would make me sick or the worms would be drugged, and you were outside for a little while, too.
i went inside when i got cold again so it wasn't even that long. and i'm fine, i am not drugged anymore. i'm just tired? like...squid squads are important but everything still sort of hurts and the calm worm mist actually was not that bad in retrospect.
[Oh thank god. There's a lapse of silence as John sort of gets used to that before there's a small huff of a laugh. His response comes not long after, voice half-asleep yet attentive.]
Worms don't have tentacles, numbnuts. [Idly, he realizes he hasn't heard Dave speak that much in person outside of today so this is also something to appreciate the novelty of.]
[ it sure is novel to speak to your best friend with your actual voice. wow! dave doesn't sound sleepy, though his voice is kind of on the quieter side. he's been known to mutter, although he's speaking clearly at the moment. ]
Tentacles are usually attached to something. What are worms attached to? Oh, right, nothing. Because they are not tentacles.
[This is qualify conversation right here. Also look!!! Everything Dave is saying with his voice and his mouth is very important to him right now? He's heard Davesprite for the last three years but. It's different anyway. He's equally charmed every time Rose speaks, really.]
They are unbound tentacles wigglin' through space.
[ THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION, FUCK YOU JOHN EGBERT. for all that he types over john all the goddamn time in text, he doesn't do that in conversation; he pauses and listens and responds in an easier and less frantic give and take. ]
They might. We'll know if it's a pattern after three times, maybe. So...we can check tomorrow night and the night after?
Weird. [The even monotonous drawl is easy for him to follow and he's relaxed even while listening to everything. Today has been a busy day talking to so many people. This is no exception and he finds the conversation easy even as he hums in agreement.]
We should look. Maybe we can see where they are coming from and get a better idea where other planets or islands are. I do not think the worms live in the sky, so they must come from somewhere else.
They could, but yeah. Either another island adrift in space, or maybe a meteorite field or somethin'? Or another planet. There are lots of options and like, no way to get off this place yet...until we start world hoppin', apparently, but we can talk about that tomorrow.
[ or whenever. ]
Oh, shit, that reminds me. Happy birthday, Egbert.

you never did explain why you were thinking about squid anyway.
no subject
is reading all this giving you a headache y/n
also i was thinking about squid b/c space worms reminded me of them
no subject
[Whether that's to "switch to voice" or "it's giving me a headache" goes unsaid.]
worms and squids are not even close to being the same, but i guess i can see the connection.
no subject
They're both tentacle-y.
