Hm, interesting…what were your first impressions of Cubesy, then? What do you think was the cause of his change, and the cause of Eight’s bad change? I think in both cases, it had to do with positive influences from those they loved…or lack thereof.

* i was pretty suspicious of him at first, tbh. he was rude and had unclear motives and i was pretty content to keep my distance, but….

* he ended up being pretty chill. and i’d like to think that i’m friends with him.

* i think you’re spot on, though. cubsey ended up having a lot of positive influences, but….. eight got dropped on his ass by. you know.

* that guy. >_> and he was more or less put through the ringer consistently since then. i’m not surprised things changed the way they did, but i am disappointed.

Why’d you stop making food for other people, Flaps? Was it because people were mean about it? I hope you’re still comfortable making food for yourself and those close to you…you’re a good chef from what I’ve heard!

* i haven’t stopped! 😛 people just stopped asking. i like providing food for others – and i still do actively, like, offer those services, but my pool of people to offer that is kinda small atm.

* if anyone wanted, though, i definitely wouldn’t mind cooking for them. i’d just need to be asked, yknow.

How you doing Flaps? I missed you so much, and so did everyone else! (*hugs Flaps tightly) How much do you remember of your time as a dragon?

* [He seems a little averse to the hug, but he hugs back after a moment.]

* i’m glad to hear i was missed. 😛

* i don’t…. remember a ton of specifics. i know i attacked a couple of people, and it was generally pretty difficult for mostly everyone to deal with me, but nothing super specific yet.

* aside from, uh. attacking proph. but we’ve been cuddling nearly constantly so i’m going to assume they forgive me for that,

Why did you two even like Eight in the first place? He was always a grumpy bastard, wasn’t he? I guess his homicidal tendencies weren’t too obvious before…just as Cubesy’s nicer tendencies weren’t either…I guess it takes a while to learn of a person’s true colors…

* it does, yeah.

* i know that as far as i go – early on, and still… pretty much currently? i like to be as friendly as i can and i met eight right as i was first getting communications set up.

* but that’s pretty accurate. and people change, so people’s opinions will change as well. i don’t think eight was this, uh. homicidally driven in the beginning. grumpy as all hell, yeah, but. you know.

* he changed for the worse as cubesy changed for the better, from our perspective.

Will you just chill out? Dia’s sick of being demonized just like you are, and he’s been through untold amounts of stress ever since Pathos died…he almost completely snapped too…I get he killed your friend, but wouldn’t you want to kill the God of your world too? Don’t you hate them too? I’m sick of all the drama that’s happened lately, and so is everyone else, so can you two just settle your differences already and stop vagueing one another? And besides, I’m sure the rat will be okay soon…

* { we did stop. }

* { i understand where you’re coming from – and believe me, i’m damn tired of drama too. }

* { it’s just – scary. i want to trust him and i know flaps is going to want to try and get to know him, and i don’t want to stand in the way of that, but i just. }

* { we’ve been stabbed in the back by so many people nowadays???? it’s like, it just keeps happening. and i’m terrified that it’ll happen again, and maybe even worse, and i won’t be able to do jack shit about it because the asshole directing this all wants it to happen. }

* { like, i understand that he was under a lot of stress, i get it. but i’m fucking terrified of anything else happening and i took that out on him, and i guess it wasn’t right of me. i’ll. apologize later, i guess. i was tired and stressed and keyed up last night and i still am but it’s not much of an excuse. }

* { if you’re willing to show me that YOU specifically won’t act the way he did, then you’re fine. i just don’t want to chance leaving security that wide open again if i can do anything about it. }

{ * okay But Like, }

{ * He and I are completely different people. It’s kinda unfair to lump me in with him when he did what he did out of his own volition. In the end it was meant to get At Me anyway so… }

{ * But. Go ahead and up your security if it makes you feel better. }

* { the only reason I’m being harsh with you is because you killed the rat. that’s not something I’m going to just ignore. }

* { I understand you are different people, and I know he did it to fuck with you, but I can’t afford to take a lot of chances when things are this on edge around here. }

* { I won’t have you guilting me for it. }
