♫ 02 / text / the eternal question of the newbie duck

[thatoneboss]

so, uh...

does that kind of thing happen very often around here?

because i'm pretty sure the internet doesn't work that way.

[He wasn't swapped, but he's been watching the community and wondering just what the heck he's getting himself into.]

[[ooc: by the way! sorry about the slow tags- I'm still getting used to playing Demyx and also my RP mojo's been in the toilet lately. it's nothing personal &hearts]]

That was the Community being a really big jerk. Don't worry about it, it happens at almost a monthly basis by now, but different things.

[thatoneboss]

monthly? jeez. swapping brains and stuff all the time doesn't sound like a "don't worry about it" deal.

[wildmelody]

It's really not as bad as it sounds to be honest. Well, most of the time. Only when the duck seems to be in a vicious mood you should worry. This one was quite harmless.

[thatoneboss]

"the duck"? you mean like, whoever runs this site?

[wildmelody]

Or the community in itself. It causes weird things to happen.

[thatoneboss]

uh. okay. keeps life interesting, i guess?

[wildmelody]

It really does. Even if some of those things are things you do not want to happen to you. At all.

[thatoneboss]

ew. do i really wanna know?

[wildmelody]

The recent zombie mall incident comes to mind. [With bad memories to boot. Seeing Kanade go down was terrifying for Hibiki. She almost lost her mind during that moment.]

[thatoneboss]

zombie mall incident?

sounds like fighting. double ew.

[wildmelody]

Yeah it was not fun. At all. I lost someone precious to me, even if she returned to life.

[thatoneboss]

harsh. but hey at least she came back?


not as a zombie, right?

[wildmelody]

Yeah she came back. But, I didn't talk to her for a while because I was too traumatized for a while.

[thatoneboss]

you weren't happy to see her?

i mean people don't come back from the dead every day. unless they do on your world, i guess.

[Tact, Demyx.]

[wildmelody]

I was, I just... it's complicated.

[Meaning Hibiki felt like she let her die...]

[thatoneboss]

alright, none of my business.

[Meaning he doesn't really care anyway.]

[slowdown]

From what I've noticed this kinda thing happens every few weeks.

[thatoneboss]

sounds pretty inconvenient. i mean i wouldn't mind switching places with someone for a few days but the boss might have a problem with that.

[And he's pretty sure he doesn't want to be turned into a Dusk over something he didn't even do.]

[slowdown]

I think it's kinda fun, but when I ended up forgetting a dear friend of mine one time I was kinda annoyed. Switching places might be interesting, you could do something you normally can't do.

[thatoneboss]

man, how do you explain that to the other guy's buddies though? "i'm not actually joe, i switched places with him like in that movie"

what was it called again? weird wednesday or something like that.

[slowdown]

That's a good question, I don't know if anyone would take you seriously but being honest is always the way to go I think.

[thatoneboss]

it depends!

[Honesty is a rare thing among the Organization.]

[slowdown]

What do you mean by "it depends" ?

eek sorry, i didn't really know what to tag back with

[thatoneboss]

everyone's got a few secrets.

It's cool

[slowdown]

That might be true but secrets aren't always going to stay hidden away. It's why being honest is the best way to go.

[notmynature]

[Guess who is here and not dead?]

don't know but I hope so!

tact is for other people

[thatoneboss]

hey, ellie!

what's with the radio silence, man? people thought you were dead.

Who needs it?

[notmynature]

hey!

not my fault. this place wouldn't let me come back. it won't even let me tell anybody here. sometimes, it just lets me respond.

so uh yeah, i'm not dead. hi.

[thatoneboss]

so basically, what i'm getting is this thing just likes to be a pain in the butt.

but anyway that's good news! not dying is good.
