IT BEGINS

[bropane]

Hey, man.
Have you ever done something stupid in your entire life?

i laughed

[dirtdevil]

[ bro you have no idea. ]

of course I have. who hasn't?

[bropane]

Just checking.
What was it?

[dirtdevil]

[ shit.

there's definitely a delayed (and cagey) response here. ]

I did a lot of stupid shit when I was younger.
why?

[bropane]

Any chance it involved a girl?

[dirtdevil]

[ hahahahaha oh boy here we go ]

probably not in the way you're thinking

[ and another delay. ]

did something happen at that dumb prom thing?

[bropane]

[ what... other way could there be??? ]

Yeah, maybe?
It was really dumb of me.

[ that's a yes. ]

[dirtdevil]

[ you really, seriously do not want to know, dude. ]

what happened?

[bropane]

A friend said she liked me, and I told her that she deserves better because of the thing.

[ him being dead and all. ]

[dirtdevil]

[ ah yes, "the thing." why does it always have to be the thing? ]

you think you don't deserve things because of that?>

[bropane]

Not really. But talking to my brother helped.
He said he's going to try and fix things... and I guess that means he'll be fixing my code so I can go back home.
Do you think that's a good thing?

[dirtdevil]

you mean you'd have another chance at life at home?
why wouldn't that be a good thing?

[bropane]

It's just weird, I guess.
It's not sound science.

[dirtdevil]

[ oh my god you fucking nerdlord who cares about science? live god damn it ]

it's better science because you're alive to keep screwing around with it

[bropane]

Everyone keeps saying that.
I'm starting to change my mind.

[dirtdevil]

good
that makes this a lot easier

[bropane]

This?

[dirtdevil]

your girl problem
you change your mind about that too?

[bropane]

Kinda.

[ a bit later: ]

Maybe.

[ and another text after that: ]

It's not weird, is it?

[dirtdevil]

what, liking a girl? pretty sure that's normal.

[bropane]

I'm just not used to acting on it, you know?
It's always been school and my brother for me.
I liked some people in school but it's not like I could do anything about it because I had to take care of my brother.
But now I think I can actually go out with other people. It's kinda weird.

[dirtdevil]

believe me, I'm no expert on these things
but you've got an opportunity here to meet all these people from all these crazy places so you might as well take it
someone willing to stick with you despite you-know-what has gotta be worth at least a try

[bropane]

Yeah... you've made a good point.
Sorry to bother you so late at night.

[dirtdevil]

don't worry about it. I was awake anyway

[ he doesn't sleep much, in case you can't tell by looking at him. ]

[bropane]

Well, make sure you get some rest to stay healthy.

[ suddenly a big bro. ]
