EB: hey, you there, man?
TG: sup
EB: how've you been, dude?
EB: and what's up is that i could kind of use your advice.
TG: huh
TG: never thought i would see the day when egbert would finally come to me for advice
TG: even though any strider words are practically guaranteed to help any poor sap out
TG: and ive been fine
TG: you know
TG: flying around
TG: rocking the feathery asshole look
TG: the usual
EB: the reason i'm saying that is... okay, i did something really stupid and gross earlier this evening and now i'm regretting it hardcore and i don't know what the fuck to do or say. more or less.
EB: it was a prank, like no big deal usually, but it just... got way out of hand. or wasn't really a great idea to start with, honestly.
TG: whoa okay stop right there
TG: harley already told me
EB: oh.
TG: yeah
EB: okay, so i don't need to go over what happened.
TG: i mean
TG: what can i tell you that you havent already heard from harley
TG: i guess its a good thing that you didnt pull that shit on me
TG: so thanks for that i guess
EB: weeeellll...
EB: for one thing, it's been hours since rose has been on and...
EB: jade told me that the next time i think about pulling a prank, i should talk to somebody else to make sure it's not a bad idea or is going to actually hurt someone or whatever.
TG: well thats good
TG: but
EB: but?
TG: well
TG: i just figured that you realized by now why rose ran off
EB: yeah, i do.
EB: and the whole thing i did with the...
EB: you know.
EB: the oven thing. when we were still on the ship.
EB: it was kinda the same deal, i seriously didn't think about how that'd probably bring up bad memories, but it did, obviously.
TG: whatever
TG: just another asshole prank by the pranking master
TG: its who you are
EB: so i thought... what?
TG: cant stop the egbert ways
EB: well!
EB: okay, true, i'm not gonna STOP pranking people, but i thought jade's idea was pretty good.
EB: just to run it by one of you guys so...
TG: listen dude
TG: whats in the past is over and done with
TG: just gotta try to do your thing but
TG: i guess just try to not be such an insufferable douche about it
TG: you can leave that to me
TG: but yeah i guess its good that you understand why what you did wasnt really cool at all
EB: literally.
EB: ...sorry.
EB: um.
EB: did i ever say that, btw? like actually say that to you.
EB: after that prank.
EB: say i was sorry, i mean.
TG: no
EB: oh.
TG: but like i said
TG: dont worry about it
EB: for what it's worth, though, even if it WAS a long time ago by now...
EB: i'm sorry, dave.
TG: thanks
TG: guess it was worth turning into a bird to save your ass after all
EB: pff. i'm glad you think so.
TG: also
EB: yeah?
TG: dont tell dave this but hes been pretty bothered about you denying his awesome beats
TG: hes been stuck in his room trying to get the perfect mix
TG: its pretty pathetic
TG: im probably breaking the unspoken strider vow of silence by telling this btw
EB: oh man, really?
TG: yeah
TG: its that serious
EB: fuck, that's probably why he's been a lot quieter than usual.
TG: just go listen to his tracks or something alright
TG: that should get him to stop crying lame emo tears
TG: his mascara is running down his cheeks as we speak
TG: linkin park is blasting through the house
TG: he cant stop shouting about why his dad never loved him
TG: he might disappear into the shadows soon
EB: that's pretty serious. i'd better get on that whole listening to his beats pretty soon then.
EB: and declaring them at least KIND OF ill.
EB: at the very least, they require bed rest and chicken soup.
TG: thanks
TG: youre seriously doing me a favor here
EB: no problem, dude.
TG: but anyway i guess you still have to deal with rose
EB: ...yyyyyeah.
EB: i'd be lying if i said i was looking forward to that.
EB: but i'm more worried about her.
TG: shes probably sulking on her bed with tentacle plushies
TG: may be a while before she goes online
TG: youre probably better off just going over to her
TG: but if that doesnt work write an apology thats like a fifty page thesis or something
TG: she likes that sort of thing
EB: like actually giving her a call or flying over there or something?
TG: dude something that shows that youre not a zombie with a hole in the middle of your chest
EB: hey, kanaya's not so bad, right?
EB: though she's a vampire if we must be technical.
EB: or the silly troll phrase for that.
TG: maybe if it doesnt work out with rose you can bond with kanaya over that
TG: two lost souls
TG: missing most of their torso
EB: okay. if she doesn't show up online in the next day or so, i'll try one of those things.
EB: maybe i should write out the stuff i should say to her anyway, even if i don't take the whole fifty page thesis paper route...
TG: whatever works
EB: i think i will.
TG: dont screw up then
TG: later
EB: bye! and thanks a lot!
