> JOHN: Consider that you could still through the monster into the BLACK HOLE, if you managed to catch it.
Somehow you get the feeling that would be a BAD IDEA!!
You've generally avoided making a mess of things in the multiverse by avoiding those BAD IDEAS.
Besides, all you really have to do is get that RING away from it.
> DAVE: Fast forward to now?
You're going to have to be more clear than that. Which Dave, and which "Now"? Because by "Fastforwarding" you could be going BACKWARDS by simple nature of jumping to a different DAVE who is CHRONOLOGICALLY further ahead, but TEMPORALLY in the past.
> ARGO: Continue conversation.
DAVE: did anyone just get the weirdest feeling that someone was trying to cause a paradox just now?
REZI: nop3.
ARGO: kinda??
DAVE: okay good it wasnt just me then
DAVE: imma just ignore it for now.
DAVE: so, what now?
ARGO: i dunno
ARGO: sprite programing says we're supposed to ASCEND and BUILD, and I guess I can do that for your house, dave,
ARGO: but rezi needs to wake up if she wants to build my house along
REZI: w3'll n33d gr1st for bu1ld1ng.
REZI: why dont w3 l3t d4v3 h4ndl3 th4t for 4 wh1l3, v14 t1m3 tr4v3l
DAVE: might as well get a head start on closing some loops anyways.
DAVE: like the god tier thing i just did
DAVE: pretty sure i gotta go burry my own body...
DAVE2: yup, that you did.
DAVE: holy shit its another me
DAVE2: yes yes, now you gotta go back and take care of that mess
DAVE2: then come back and be me
DAVE: okay later
>DAVE: REWIND
PRESENT DAVE becomes PAST FUTURE DAVE, leaving FUTURE DAVE to be PRESENT DAVE.
...Time Travel Headaches.
ARGO: you dont mean immediately come back, did you?
DAVE: nah,
DAVE: been a few hours by now.
DAVE: i went and killed some monsters for grist.
DAVE: just sort of looped the same half hour over and over again in different parts of the world
DAVE: gotta ascend those god tiers after all
ARGO: makes sense
REZI: 4NNNYYYW444YSSS...
REZI: W3 N33D TO T4LK 4BOUT SOM3TH1NG.
REZI: JUST TO CL34R UP 4NY CONFUS1ON.
ARGO: is it about the guy in blue who looked like jades' older brother?
REZI: Y3S.
DAVE: hold up what older brother
ARGO: i saw him bringing jade back to the dream tower just before i got sleep-stabbed by PI.
DAVE: pi?
ARGO: P.I. is what the game code IDs him as right now.
ARGO: it could stand for any number of variable things.
DAVE: right okay so jade's non existent brother?
REZI: H1S N4M3 1S JOHN. H3'S...
REZI: H3 1S TH3 ONLY SURV1VOR FROM TH3 PR3V1OUS 1TT3R4T1ON OF R34L1TY.

ARGO: we've all done this before haven't we?
ARGO: we've done this whole sburb thing before.
ARGO: we've done the 'fight against the monster' thing
ARGO: is that why we're so screwed up right now???
REZI: ....y3s.
REZI: 1 h4v3... *I* have memories of the old universe.
REZI: twice over, actually.
DAVE: holy shit you just turned back into a human
ARGO: ...i wasn't going to say anything about the horns or the hair, dave.
ARGO: we're using dream bodies, remember??
DAVE: oh... right.
REZI: i just wanted to make a visual distinction.
REZI: two different worlds, only one of which included the game we're playing and...
REZI: it gets hard to keep them separate, being a seer of mind
REZI: troll me- what you guys were seeing up til now- is who i was before all of this got rebooted
REZI: i wanted to make this clear, right now, that im speaking, or trying to, as the me that's grown up in this version of reality.
REZI: that me is human so...
ARGO: that's okay.
DAVE: so out of all of us, were we any different to how we are now?
DAVE: like, was i a girl before?
DAVE: was i a troll girl?
DAVE: are we all secretly trolls in another life?
REZI: you and jade were both human.
REZI: john is jade's brother, but because he got left behind when it all got restructured, he doesn't properly exist in this reality anymore.
REZI: argo... you're kinda unique.
ARGO: what else is new
REZI: you were both a troll girl named Nepeta, and...
REZI: a doomed timeline dave who was prototyped in his sprite.
DAVE: wait what
REZI: 1M NOT F1N1SH3D.
DAVE: scool, holding questions til the end
REZI: near the end of it all, nepeta died, and got prototyped into a sprite...
REZI: those two sprites met and, well, accidentally prototyped each other.
ARGO: i REMEMBER that
ARGO: holy shit it's kinda vague but i kinda remember that
DAVE: is it weird that i kinda remember that too?
DAVE: cause it feels weird that i remember that
REZI: it gets weirder cause i only heard about this from roses self prototyped sprite
DAVE: whos rose?
REZI: your sister
REZI: or, she was
DAVE: ive got a sister???
REZI: i dunno where she is right now
ARGO: ...maybe she's a troll?

REZI: JOHN H4D TO W41T 1T THROUGH TH3 3NT1R3 T1M3.
REZI: h3's...
REZI: he doesn't feel like he belongs here anymore

REZI: DON'T L3T M3 G3T T3L3-ST4BB3D, OK4Y???
ARGO: wait, rezi-!
>REZI: peace out
You sit down and ZONE OUT before either Dave or Argo can say anything. If there's one thing you're GOOD AT, it's delivering a LOT OF INFO and then ABSCONDING.
You WAKE UP back in the ATRIUM.
A few moments later, ARGO and DAVE both begin pestering you FURIOUSLY.
Metaphorically for DAVE, LITERALLY for ARGO, because she just found your DING DONG DITCHED APOLOGY.
You just ignore it. You'll probably get HELL for it later but oh well. You're not feeling up to DEALING WITH THOSE EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW.
