hey
how much do you love me exactly
like enough to do me a huge favor
for zero personal gain
if i dont actually have a favor on the docket

[windeity]

ok.

[Which, normally, he'd just leave it as that and hope that Dave infers he means it's fine yes whatever but after the last couple of days that's probably not helpful. Maybe he should learn what he's agreeing to, but:]

man, you don't need to ask, i don't mind!
what's up?

[parodeity]

could you eat this for me

[ ...yes. he is linking a picture of the huge burger from the challenge yusuke posted about? ]

theres like a time limit for it and stuff

[windeity]

[.........]

ok seriously no one has actually explained to me what happens when you eat the giant burger.
what happens when you eat the giant burger, dave?

[parodeity]

you get a badge
its either shitty iron on quality or a pin
i want the badge but i frequently fail to accomplish eating a normal meal in one sitting

[ win him the shitty burger badge!!!!!!!!! ]

[windeity]

[...give him a few minutes?]

...I CAN SEE THAT.

[Yeah guess who is also on that post???]

important question, what does this badge even look like?
also do i lose best bro rights if i don't finish the thing?

[But that's not a no? So.]

[parodeity]

see what
what
i didnt even do anything

and i dont care its the kind of badge you pin on your backpack or iron on and therefore i want one

you dont have to if you dont want to but i thought of you first

[windeity]

somehow a potentially shitty iron on badge from a burger place seems perfectly ironic for you.
but sure. why not?
i did not realize it was so late anyway and i worked through lunch.
unless you are thinking of a time not-now. then i can just grab a normal not-hubcap-sized burger or something.

[parodeity]

no not now
actually
are you busy right now

[windeity]

no.
just kind of hungry now that there is a picture of a burger staring me in the face.
but that can wait.
did you have something else in mind?
where are you anyway?

[parodeity]

around
but if you have a second
are you willing to have take one thousand at that conversation we keep crit failing
only this time via text

[windeity]

[...ah.

He doesn't respond immediately but he does begin typing immediately so that Dave doesn't think he's dodging. He's not. It's just a really, really big thing.]

sure. i have time.

[parodeity]

ok cool
have you been thinking about it at all
our options
or whatever

[windeity]

yes.
do you remember if you ever met your denizen?

[What the fuck kind of question is that.]

[parodeity]

hephaestus
no not really
versions of me did
and i got the bullshit i needed from him via that
effectively locking myself out of going to see him
which was in fact necessary to my "quest"
which was the evolution of a shitty fucking sword into basically the same fucking sword i started with

but why do you ask

[windeity]

[Normally he'd say "never mind" but this is actually kind of important to his point, so.]

i remember meeting typheus.
did i tell you that before?
i remember my personal quest now and everything.

[parodeity]

you didnt tell me that no

[windeity]

ok.
well. that part is not really that important.
but the point is that you remember our denizens give us choices right?
and when a denizen gives us a set of choices to make, it kind of feels like a bullshit course of action.
because it feels like we are locked into a set answer.
my quest was to free the stars from the shade and into the heavens.
the fireflies. i had to blow away the smog on lowas to free the fireflies.
and when i went to see typheus i accepted his terms.
and i think he decided to try and kill me instead?
unsure. but maybe he knew i had a bigger agenda.
the point is that i had two choices then. either drown in the oil typheus sent to the core of his palace, or figure out how to zap the fuck out of there and completely fail my quest.
which choice do you think i made?

[parodeity]

get rid of the oil

[windeity]

which was...?

["Not an obvious option. An option created."]

[parodeity]

unless you have a plan beyond "make a new plan"
i think we need to go at this a different way
you dont have all the facts and i cant give them to you
and im not going to hold out for a hero here
so
can we talk about the actual facts we can discuss
and concrete plans
instead

[windeity]

[Hm.]

yeah.
that's fine.
have you been thinking about it too?

[parodeity]

yeah
and i have a place i can run away to
whenever it blows up
so its ok now
if i have to hit abscond on you for a day or a month or a year or whatever
so

we can move on to what were going to do
since i have my contingency now

the issue at hand is what i tell all of you right
or has it warped into other things as well that we need to settle

[windeity]

oh.
ok.
that's good. i am glad to hear that.

i don't know.
the first thing.
they seemed to be doing fine putting stuff together on their own, too.
we talked after you left.

[parodeity]

i figured you would
but what are you saying
