[Oh. Well... He won't say it but that makes him feel better. A lot better. He knew John was attached to the guy though, which is why he was so damn nice to him. Well that, and aside from the fact that it's his birthday. But either way, he's... rather glad to hear that Dave wasn't so close to the guy.]

oh.
yeah i guess youre right.
alright then.
i just wanted to check.

but yeah i know john aint all that happy about it.
we already talked.
i tried playing the cheer up game and i think it worked a little.

and i guess ill refrain from making your life any harder by asking complex questions about what the fuck happens in my future.
i honestly dont really care that much.
doesnt really matter, does it?
im here now and thats what fucking matters.
no sense dwelling on shit that isnt even going to technically happen anymore since i aint there.

but uh.
just between you and me.
are you saying he died?
egbert senior, i mean.

yeah he did

i heard about it later
after some shit went down

[After Rose went Grimdark and died, and he was shot full of holes. No big deal.]

anyway
im fine

[Just don't ask him why he froze the hell up like Dirk did at the concert.]

im not really surprised.

[But it... sucks to hear. Between Egbert dying and Lalonde, well...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he himself probably offed it at some point, too. He went into the entire thing knowing it was a distinct possibility. There've been subtle hints in the way Dave acts that just make it more and more obvious. This? This is outright confirmation. He's not going to say anything, though. Dave clearly wouldn't want to talk about it and he... Doesn't really either.

But this is exactly why he decided to start this conversation in the first place. To say the shit he needed to say in the event he ever did die, since he obviously does at some point. And disappearing from this place is pretty much dying, all things considered.]

but yeah. better not tell john.
thatd just make shit harder for him i think.
seems hard enough without throwing that hard top of it all.

glad to hear it.
so i guess ill let you get off to whatever it is youre doing.
its his birthday so im assuming youve got shit planned.
dont let me interrupt.

[He, meanwhile, is probably just going to go sit down and do a lot of thinking. Mostly about death.

How exciting.]

were not really doing anything
jades gone
her point in the timeline wasnt a bad one but theres a lot of stuff ahead of her
john and rose arent taking this well at all

[Neither is he.]

were sitting on the couch
i got plans to stay the fuck here with them tonight
binge on ice cream till i pop or something

well i guess thats a silver lining right?
she aint going back to a world full of shit.

[She isn't dying. That's at least good.]

regardless im gonna let you go anyway.
i got some shit to think about.
enjoy that ice cream.
dont explode too hard.
if you vomit, make sure you do it on johns shoes.
nah im kidding.
but yeah.
ttyl man.

ok
talk to you later
