shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

[Unicron approaches as sneakily as a planet sized robot can, regarding this little fleshy with shy curiosity. Her smell is familiar in a painful way. He will not call attention to himself, but he... he can indulge himself in watching this one, a bit... right?]

 

my name isnt marcus, its cronus!

 

You should try 'Marcus' sometime though. It's got the same number of letters and fits your whole M theme going on.

 

mm, nah!

 

Ford pats Church on the shoulder. "You're probably more observant than me!"

 

...you're not ever gonna lose me...to be honest...i spent most of my life in isolation...so i'm not that used to being around others...but i'm comf around you...in a way that arin and alex can't match...i love you a whole lot, orlandeau.
[juice wraps their arms around orlandeau, still standing up]

...thanks for helping calm him down

 

[He shrugs and waves the cigarette vaguely.]

Queenie's dealt with my depressed ass often enough that I ought to pay it forward sometime. No big.

 

you knowv, all this vwouldnt be a problem if you just stop caring vwhat happens to other people. or caring vwhat happens in general.

 

I don't think selfish nihilism is actually the answer, dude.

 

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and prescription for medicine I can't actually take. You want to be an uncaring dick, that's on you. I'm gonna be feeling shit anyways, might as well make use of it.

 

selfish nihilism is alvways the ansvwer.

 

vwhy vwould you need medicine for embracing the only sustainable vworldvwiewv.

 

Well, cities, you know? Can't get a good link to the Night Forest for all the houses. Records have it that Kiliskalea broke four irris before the Fall. The only places where there's an ort of untended souls is where Aventura has been usually. Or back when Caitriona massacred the Carcelans.
[an irris seems to be 12 to the power of 5, or 248832]

(Deirde is a Seer. She notices things like that. Why she does the motion of disparagingly eyeing Unicron from helm to pede while blind is a different question)
The fuck kinda Daberachian nightmare did you crawl out of. How. What. Chaos and Death? How does that even work? What.

 

Because it's typically a symptom of depression. Sorry.

That's... a lot of words I don't know. Uh. Sorry?

 

no it isnt.

 

[He frowns deeply, though he has ducked his head aside a little.]
Unmaking. Not Death. Though the mistake is... an easy one to make.

 

Ahedonia and apathy combined? Yeah dude. Sorry. Might be different for you, with the whole, uh, troll thing, but it was definitely a chemical imbalance for me.

 

*accidentally and unknowingly ends up in a position that will make it easy for @Deirdre of the Lantern to look at his soul*

 

uh, hey, troll here! you kinda ARE supposed to care about vwhat happens. other people are optional.

 

[He pinches the bridge of his nose and stubs out his cigarette.]

That's not... okay. That's not depression, so fine, 'depression' is not the standard operating model for trolls. That's good. The 'other people are optional' thing is... not great though.
