* I told him I’d be willing to stay friends with him, and offer this as a safe place for him, but he’d damn well better prove that he’s working to make up for all this crap he’s caused before I’ll let him anywhere near this place again, let alone talking to him on friendly terms again.
* It’s all on him. I’m not one to go back on my word.
* I don’t think I’ll actually forgive him – he’s done to much to deserve that – but I would want to work with him to right the wrongs that have been done, provided that he actually Wants to try to do the work needed.
* I JUST REMEMBER GOING TO SEE CUBESY, AND ALSO COLLECTING MANY SLUGS AND LETTING THEM LOOSE IN THE VOID.
* I SHOULD DO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AGAIN AT SOME POINT.
* ah,
* well. at least… one of those isn’t entirely possible at least at the moment
* currently Cubesy is uh. missing.
* eight started off that dumbass plan of his, things kinda backfired on him though – but cubesy escaped while eight was distracted. Although he’s uh, just. Just Cubesy now. the other fragment that had been with him this whole time stayed behind to fend eight off.
* he’s become some sort of…. advanced mutation? i’m not sure what the specifics are because i haven’t exactly been able to see much but i think he forcibly fused with the rest of his fragments to make this horrible shambling…. thing….
* in any case i think steps are being made to undo that transformation but i don’t know how successful that’s going. cubesy doesn’t seem to have shown up since he fled initially. i know geist went looking for him but i don’t think he was successful.
* nix is a friend of mine, yeah – he actually got me prosthetic ribs a while back and has been here off and on a couple times.
* this being said,
* i’m not sure i can actually rightfully offer him a place to stay. it is a lot to ask considering my own energy levels, and while i do feel bad that i don’t feel like i can provide that, i’d rather outright say that than to make a promise that ends up being way more detrimental in the end.
* if he seeks me out, then yes, i’m more than willing to be a shoulder to cry on and a support for him, but i don’t have the energy to be going out of my way to do so and worrying about if he’ll even answer or not.
* i’m sorry if that sounds like…. harsh, at all. i’m just really tired, you know? i can’t be looking out for everyone like i used to, that’s what landed me in this perpetual exhausted state in the first place. x:
[ Seeing a friendly face after so long sends a strange pang through Anx. He he tries to ignore it – it’s okay, this is is flaps. He cann trust Flaps. It’s fine. ]
* I h-have been…
[ He hesitates- ]
* Ah, w-well. A lot t has hhappened. I was unabable to track eventss outside of of my lab f-for some time. I h-have been attemptinging to- ah, catch up.
[ Anxiety looks at the couch- the smaller scale is definitely appreciated. The room as well is is not nearly so overwhelming, though being preprepared for relatively openn spaces also helped. He climbs onto the far side of the couch and tucks his legs close to him. ]
* [He smiles gently! This poor fragment. He’s glad to give Anx a safer and calmer space to be in, for the time being.]
* yeah, i heard a bit about some things going on…. i’m glad you recovered okay from it all. kinda feels like one mess after the other, you know?
* [A stretch….] i hear you as far as catching up on things goes, though… there’s a lot that’s been going on all at once, it’s hard to keep track of that. i’d imagine it must be even harder for you, with having to catch up on what was going on while you weren’t available.
