TG: ok
TG: dude
TG: john
TG: can you just stop
EB: what?
TG: maybe close the fucking video chat
EB: uh, why?
TG: well
TG: harley looks like shes about to lose it
TG: and did you even see rose run off
EB: yeah, ok, i got that much, but what did i even do?
EB: and wh... didn't she just lose her connection or something?
TG: what
TG: okay look down
EB: yeah...
TG: see that on your shirt
EB: yes.
TG: okay
EB: what's your point. it's obviously fake, it was just a joke, come on.
TG: a joke
EB: what the hell else would it be?
TG: okay i can see the problem here
EB: ok, so it'd been a while since i punked you guys, and then jade went and pulled a fast one on us during the memo the other night...
TG: wait what
EB: after which not only did i think i could probably afford to step up my game a little from last time, it became kind of imperative!
TG: hold on i still dont
TG: you know what forget it the why isnt actually important because
TG: look imagine this
TG: i go pull a doomed timeline dave
TG: get myself killed
TG: and then alpha dave just brings me into the chat
TG: hey guys
TG: this is me
TG: hes sort of dead
TG: but you know
TG: its good
TG: nothing weird about that
EB: yes, that is totally what i did just now.
EB: i applaud your powers of making up a completely equivalent comparison to a prank in which nobody fucking got hurt or killed or whatever.
EB: bravo.
EB: anyway, i closed the chat, are you happy?
TG: yeah
TG: harley was pretty mad
TG: wouldnt be surprised if she pulled a spacey thing to get over to you
TG: oh wait egbert nice derail there
TG: train got so far off the fucking tracks i had no idea where we even started from
TG: my point is some people that will remain unmentioned were getting a bit
TG: anxious
TG: not my words
EB: what, you mean rose? is that why she left?
EB: apparently.
TG: okay i cant do this
TG: my metaphor flew so far over your head its unreal
TG: it might be catching up to unreal air by now
TG: i hope they have a good time together as they fly off to the fucking sun
EB: maybe if you just goddamn told me what exactly the problem is, you wouldn't have to worry about that.
EB: are you all just never gonna talk to me again or something?
TG: what
TG: no
TG: were bros
TG: okay im pretty pissed
TG: but its not like i havent done stuff like that
TG: or will do stuff like that i guess
TG: stupid stuff that makes no sense once you look back on it
EB: but that's kind of exactly my point.
EB: i've pranked you guys plenty of times before! and i admit sometimes they've been a liiiiittle...
EB: not exactly in great taste.
EB: what's so different about this?
TG: i dunno
TG: you made us wait for hours
EB: there wasn't even much to it! just, yeah, making you guys wait just to ratchet up the tension.
EB: and then stunt sword, fake blood, bam.
TG: thats sort of different than just popping online with ketchup all over your shirt saying that you just got stabbed
EB: and i can't have been lying there for more than about a minute, tops.
EB: also, it wasn't ketchup. it might sound like a decent idea, but it actually makes shitty fake blood.
TG: well damn
TG: there goes my idea for halloween
EB: but again. i've done stuff that's almost exactly like that! fake blood and all that stuff.
TG: maybe you should talk to jade about it
EB: ughhh. i guess.
TG: i think she could probably explain it better than i can
EB: she doesn't seem to have blocked me, so okay.
TG: try not being too much of an asshole then
TG: try listening to her
TG: idk
EB: admittedly i haven't done anything on the same scale as just now befo
EB: ...
EB: ...holy shit.
TG: huh
TG: i might have just seen the first breakthrough in the mind that is egbert
EB: oh my fucking god.
EB: i
EB: i should...
EB: ...i don't know. but i didn't even think about that...
EB: i guess that
EB: explains everything, huh.
TG: just
TG: be sure not to confuse prankster levels with asshole levels
TG: today is the day that you learn another valuable life lesson
TG: embrace it
TG: and teach it to little kids on educational shows
EB: is rose online? like, when you look at pesterchum, do you see her.
TG: nope
TG: like i said
TG: try jade first
TG: if she isnt where you are then thats a good sign already
EB: i don't see her, so i guess i'm probably pretty safe.
EB: wow.
EB: this might be the lamest thing i could possibly say right now, but...
EB: i'm sorry, i really didn't realize.
EB: how bad.
EB: that was.
TG: like i said
TG: were bros
TG: its fine
EB: okay, good.
TG: so uh
TG: check up on harley then
EB: i... guess i should probably go smooth things over with jade.
EB: and rose when she's around.
TG: ha
TG: good luck with that
EB: what?
EB: ugh...
EB: i hope so.
EB: fuck.
EB: okay, talk to you later i guess.
TG: later
