[Video] 07 Feathers

[Davesprite looks like he just woke up. Amazing that he feels more tired after sleeping for three straight weeks. Note to self: try to avoid that in the future.]

I'd say this is for the sake of science or something along those lines, but since it's truth week, I doubt it'd let me say that. So, I'm just going to say that this is me exploiting the hell out of this curse by asking this question publicly.

[Dramatic pause!]

What are your most embarrassing guilty pleasures? I'm surprised nobody has asked this already, Jesus.

I'm still not convinced that I haven't failed you as a brother, and I mean every incarnation of you, not just adult alternate universe you.

[A beat.]

Is it too late to go back into another coma?

[Holy topic change, batman.]

Where did that come from? But while we're on the topic, there's a difference between failing and the universe not letting you do shit, and guess which category our situation falls into?

You calling me bro. And I know he was supposed to die, but that doesn't make it any fucking better. You've seen how it went down. How can I not feel like I failed in some way?

[Davesprite sighs in exasperation. He really shouldn't be putting this shit on Dirk.]

I don't know. [He wishes he could commiserate, he really does, but his Bro was dead long before he ever came to be.] You'd have to ask him, because I don't know what he thinks.

The problem is that I don't want to know. It's like Pandora's Box. It doesn't help that I failed you by virtue of being a different version of the dude.

I could show this to him, if that's what it took to prove it to you. And he never fucking failed me, he's just the reason I'm actually alive.

Hell fucking no, dude. I want nothing of this going outside of you and me. And anyway, I didn't mean your Bro. Nothin' I could do there since I was on a golden ship sailing at the speed of light into your session. You're a different version of my Bro, but you're still my Bro and there are too many goddamn Bros for me to keep track of, man.

Yeah, well, that different version of you couldn't do anything either. I'm not saying it's not shitty, I'm saying you aren't to blame for this the way you insist you are.

It's hard to shake the guilt 'cause it feels exactly like failing your hero. I most likely just need more time to move on from it.

[Bro's still his hero, and Dirk's working his way up to hero status, but Davesprite is hoping that Dirk won't ask about that. It's a liiiiiittle embarrassing.]

[Dirk would... well. He'd have mixed feelings about it.]

If you want to practice so that you can get better and not feel like anything's gonna happen again, I can do that. But I can't change what's in your brain, even if I can tell it's at odds with the world around you.

I was genetically predisposed for my mind to be at odds with the rest of the world. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[There's wry amusement tinting his tone.]

Still. I'm not about to drag you into my problems.

Too late, bro. I caught a scent and now I'm latched on. This is fucking terrier levels of attachment, if you want to get me off you're going to have to break my fucking jaw. We're in it for the long haul.

Is this also an admission to being an ankle biting yap dog on top of all that?

[Davesprite sounds oh so innocent as he asks.]

Goddamn brat, you know what I meant. No that was not.

I was raised by the biggest brat of them all. 'Sides, I'm not the one who used a terrier as my example, Toto.

Careful with that talk, Bro'd beat your ass if he heard it.

Would you prefer it if I used a squid or a lamprey? Or maybe even an anglerfish. Is that suitably morbid?

He's well aware of his brattiness.

I refuse anything with tentacles since then you'd have to suffer under the obligatory Japanese tentacle porn quip as punishment. Also, the terrier sticks, unless you want to change it to pomeranian.

I can deal with the hentai jokes, because I am likely to be the one making them. Fangirls would cream themselves over the incestuous implications.

You keep that up and you're going to earn the title of pigeon.

I'm sure Rose would have something to say about that. With luck, she'll never find out and we can avoid the awkward Freud conversations.

I assure you that I'm not that dumb. If I have to be an annoying bird, then I'd rather be a parrot.

She isn't even here. The only way she'd find out is if you told her. And if you did, I really would have to call you a pigeon, bro.

Are you kidding? She'd find out anyway. We wouldn't have to say a damn thing and she'd somehow know. Just remember that there are consequences to calling me a pigeon. I might say, "Yeah, you're right, I am a pigeon." When that moment happens, I'm going to make like a pigeon and shit all over you and your robots.

You have more fear over her clairvoyance than I do, brosprite.

Like I can't twist your arm literally and metaphorically into cleaning it up.

She's a Seer of Light. Kind of her job. It doesn't help that she studies psychology with the ferocity of a religious fanatic.

Get Dave to help you.

I suspect you overestimate her, but go ahead and live in paranoia, bro.

Why should I get Dave when you'd be right there?

'Cause I'm not gonna stick around for it.
