Faerzen apologizes to Byron -> Box Time

[20:53]  * visceralVanguard [VV] began conversing with masterfulShooter [MS]
[20:54] <@visceralVanguard> Byron? Are you there?
[20:54] <masterfulShooter> oh SHIT
[20:54] <masterfulShooter> WHOOOOO
[20:54] <masterfulShooter> YO FAERZEN
[20:54] <@visceralVanguard> Hello! You certainly seem to be better than the last time I talked with you.
[20:55] <@visceralVanguard> How are the gun wounds treating you?
[20:55] <masterfulShooter> FUCK YES THE BYRON TRAIN IS GOING FULL FUCKIN STEAM
[20:55] <masterfulShooter> GUN WOUNDS ARE GONE
[20:56] <masterfulShooter> HEROS DONT CARE ABOUT GUN WOUNDS ANYWAY
[20:56] <masterfulShooter> AND IM GONNA BE THE BEST FUCKIN HERO IN THE GOD DAMN GAME
[20:56] <@visceralVanguard> No, I suppose they wouldn't, would they.
[20:56] <masterfulShooter> WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHIT THIS IS FUCKIN HYPE
[20:56] <@visceralVanguard> Did something happen with Tarane? You seem quite the opposite of when I last talked to you!
[20:57] <@visceralVanguard> I actually contacted you because I wanted to apologize for doing that to you.
[20:57] <masterfulShooter> APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT FAERZEN YOU'RE THE BEST DUDE
[20:57] <@visceralVanguard> ......?
[20:58] <@visceralVanguard> I hardly see how belittling everything you've ever done is "the best"
[20:58] <masterfulShooter> PSHHH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT SAYS RIGHT HERE THAT IM GONNA BE A HERO AND SHIT
[20:58] <@visceralVanguard> While it is no excuse for what I said to you, I was stressed, distracted, frustrated, and annoyed, and I you didn't deserve what I said to you.
[20:58] <masterfulShooter> GOD DAMN
[20:59] <@visceralVanguard> It says here? What do you mean?
[20:59] <masterfulShooter> BOOK
[20:59] <masterfulShooter> ASK THE BOOK
[20:59] <@visceralVanguard> I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about, Byron. What should I ask my book?
[21:00] <masterfulShooter> I DONT KNOW IT DOESNT MATTER
[21:00] <masterfulShooter> ALL THAT MATTERS IS
[21:00] <masterfulShooter> FUCKIN
[21:00] <@visceralVanguard> I know you're excited about something or other, but complete sentences would be really nice. :)
[21:00] <masterfulShooter> THE COGS AND SHIT ARE TURNING LIKE MOTHERFUCKERS
[21:00] <@visceralVanguard> I must say I am still quite confused.
[21:00] <@visceralVanguard> Oh.
[21:00] <@visceralVanguard> You are still using that analogy?
[21:01] <@visceralVanguard> You shouldn't do that Byron. I was being sadistic and inconsiderate.
[21:01] <masterfulShooter> PSHH YOU'RE STILL USING THAT ANALOGY
[21:01] <@visceralVanguard> No I'm not!
[21:01] <masterfulShooter> YEAH YOU ARE
[21:01] <@visceralVanguard> I have never said that analogy to anyone since I talked with you.
[21:02] <@visceralVanguard> What in Jurgen's name are you talking about, Byron?
[21:02] <@visceralVanguard> I was offensive to you, but I would appreciate you not continually reminding me of that fact.
[21:02] <@visceralVanguard> Believe me, I know how awful I was. I do not need to reminding me of what I said to you.
[21:03] <masterfulShooter> I DONT CARE REALLY
[21:03] <@visceralVanguard> It wasn't anything about you that made me want to keep you uninformed and out of the way. Because of the delicate situation I was thrown in, I was attempting to keep everyone away to avoid as much collateral damage as possible.
[21:03] <masterfulShooter> SHIT FAERZEN IM NOT OUT OF THE WAY NOW
[21:03] <masterfulShooter> I JUST HAD THAT
[21:03] <masterfulShooter> whats the wooord
[21:03] <masterfulShooter> THE DEPRESSED IDEA THING
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> THE ONE WHERE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND SHIT
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> I ALREADY DID THAT SHIT
[21:04] <@visceralVanguard> Introspection?
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> BUT BAM
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> THIS IS HYPE AS FUCK
[21:04] <@visceralVanguard> What did you come to realize?
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> IM GONNA BE THE FUCKIN HERO AND SHIT
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> WELL YOU REALIZED THAT NOT ME
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> BUT
[21:04] <@visceralVanguard> What?
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> STILL ITS GONNA HAPPEN
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> PROBABLY
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> IT COULD BE LIKE
[21:04] <@visceralVanguard> That is the complete opposite of what I told you, Byron.
[21:04] <masterfulShooter> A TRICK OR SOMETHING
[21:05] <masterfulShooter> BUT IT DOESNT MATTER ANYWAY
[21:05] <@visceralVanguard> How are you going to be "the hero" now?
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> I CANT TELL YOU
[21:06] <@visceralVanguard> Really?
[21:06] <@visceralVanguard> Why not?
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> I MEAN IM NOT SUPPOSED TO
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> WELL THEN AGAIN
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> CONSIDERING
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> WHAT...you did to niiiick
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> this could definitely be a trick
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> hrmmmm
[21:06] <@visceralVanguard> .......
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> but WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME ALL THIS SHIT THEN
[21:06] <masterfulShooter> then again...
[21:06] <@visceralVanguard> I didn't give you anything! What are you talking about, Byron????
[21:07] <@visceralVanguard> Also, Nick and I have had quite the talk, and we have worked things out.
[21:08] <@visceralVanguard> I would appreciate you not hanging that over my head as well.
[21:08] <masterfulShooter> YOU DONT KNOW IT YEEET
[21:08] <masterfulShooter> SHIT I SAID TOO MUCH
[21:09] <@visceralVanguard> Why can't you tell me anything?
[21:09] <@visceralVanguard> You are quite literally spouting nonsense right now, Byron.
[21:09] <masterfulShooter> uh
[21:09] <masterfulShooter> YOULL KNOW EVENTUALLY
[21:09] <masterfulShooter> WHEN
[21:09] <masterfulShooter> SOMETHING COOL HAPPENS
[21:09] <masterfulShooter> WHEN I DO SOMETHING REALLY FUCKIN HEROIC AND SHIT
[21:09] <@visceralVanguard> You mean you know that I will eventually know?
[21:10] <masterfulShooter> hmm
[21:11] <masterfulShooter> THE POINT IS
[21:11] <masterfulShooter> GET READY
[21:12] <masterfulShooter> BECAUSE IM ABOUT TO DO...SOMETHING FUCKIN BALLER
[21:12] <masterfulShooter> unless this is like
[21:12] <masterfulShooter> reverse nick
[21:12] <masterfulShooter> it could be
[21:14] <masterfulShooter> faerzen would you do something like that
[21:14] <masterfulShooter> no probably not
[21:14] <masterfulShooter> then again
[21:14] <masterfulShooter> i dont know i could be fucking something up now
[21:14] <masterfulShooter> i should try the code before anything else
[21:14] <@visceralVanguard> Would I do something like what???
[21:15] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, you know what? I am not even going to bother trying to parse whatever it is you are excited about.
[21:15] <@visceralVanguard> If you ever feel like actually saying something informative on the subject, then please do let me know.
[21:15] <masterfulShooter> I CANT THOUGH
[21:15] <masterfulShooter> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS INFORMATIVE
[21:16] <@visceralVanguard> What?
[21:16] <masterfulShooter> IS THAT IM PROBABLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING FUCKING BALLER AS SHIT
[21:16] <@visceralVanguard> I knew that you were going to say that. :|
[21:16] <@visceralVanguard> I beg to differ on the fact that that statement is informative, considering you usually say something along those lines almost every single time we talk, but please go ahead and do something most excellent!
[21:17] <@visceralVanguard> I look forward to seeing whatever excellent thing it is you have to do.
[21:17] <@visceralVanguard> Even if it does worry me that you refuse to tell me anything about what it is.
[21:17] <@visceralVanguard> Please be careful, Byron, with whatever it is you plan on doing.
[21:18] <@visceralVanguard> Given that you have no intentions of telling me anything helpful on that particular subject any time soon, I do have several things that I would like to say.
[21:19] <@visceralVanguard> First of all, as I already said, I am sorry for railing on you so much earlier today. I was trying to keep everyone else from getting tangled in the huge mess I was stuck in, and the way I went about doing that with you was very disrespectful and pretty douchey.
[21:19] <@visceralVanguard> I was basically an asshole, so sorry for that. I will try and keep a better handle on my temper.
[21:20] <@visceralVanguard> Secondly, I want to tell you what I have been up to recently that I was so keen to keep everyone else away from.
[21:20] <@visceralVanguard> I know you hate it when I ramble, so I will try and give you the summarized version. :)
[21:21] <@visceralVanguard> Basically, Nick's mask has a powerful entity inside of it called Abyss, and Lyra stole it.
[21:21] <masterfulShooter> oh thats what you meant by abyss
[21:21] <masterfulShooter> that makes sense
[21:22] <@visceralVanguard> She attempted to make a deal with it, that deal went horribly awry, and she found herself bound to a contract that would allow Abyss to consume her soul and the souls of everyone she killed, in addition to giving Abyss periodic control of her body.
[21:22] <@visceralVanguard> I have spent most of the past 24 hours digging her out of this mess, while attempting to prevent myself or anyone else getting dragged into a similar such mess.
[21:23] <@visceralVanguard> There are two possible scenarios that I am attempting to collect information about in order to ascertain which one is correct.
[21:23] <masterfulShooter> wait so how would i even
[21:23] <masterfulShooter> i hate masks already
[21:23] <masterfulShooter> how would
[21:23] <@visceralVanguard> How would you what?
[21:23] <masterfulShooter> you probably know what your talking about
[21:23] <@visceralVanguard> How would you get dragged into a similar such mess?
[21:24] <@visceralVanguard> I was teleported against my will directly to the site of the court case and essentially cornered into participating. There is no saying what could have happened to anyone else if they knew what was happening.
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> oh oh oh
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> faerzen
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> you should open
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> your box
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> i mean
[21:25] <@visceralVanguard> My.... box?
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> like
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> deductive reasoning
[21:25] <@visceralVanguard> Why do you say I have a box?
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> or some shit
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> because
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> tarane had one
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> i had one
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> but we were both asleep
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> so
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> magic
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> i mean
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> fuck
[21:25] <@visceralVanguard> I also have a box
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> see
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> look at that shit
[21:25] <@visceralVanguard> I was awake when I found it, however.
[21:25] <masterfulShooter> fuck i calmed down
[21:26] <masterfulShooter> i need to look at the paper again so i can get hype
[21:26] <masterfulShooter> one second
[21:26] <@visceralVanguard> There was some sort of quick-moving shadow out of the corner of my eye that somehow managed to deposit it in my sylladex while I was in the middle of talking to Regent.
[21:26] <@visceralVanguard> That fact, combined with where it has been captchalogued has made me very hesitant to even touch it.
[21:27] <masterfulShooter> WHOO SHIT IM BACK
[21:27] <masterfulShooter> GOTTA GET THAT ADRENALINE PUMPING
[21:27] <masterfulShooter> FUCK
[21:27] <@visceralVanguard> Especially considering...... well there are only two things that have occurred to me so far that it could have been, and both of them worry me quite a lot.
[21:28] <@visceralVanguard> You say I should open mine? Why? Have you opened yours?
[21:28] <@visceralVanguard> I have yet to even look at mine.
[21:28] <@visceralVanguard> Is that what all of this is about?
[21:28] <masterfulShooter> no definitely not
[21:28] <masterfulShooter> i dont know what your talking about
[21:29] <masterfulShooter> SHIT I FUCKED IT UP
[21:29] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, so it is what this is all about.
[21:29] <@visceralVanguard> I would be very, very careful with that box, Byron.
[21:29] <masterfulShooter> no its not
[21:29] <masterfulShooter> i dont know what your talking about
[21:29] <masterfulShooter> fuck
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> well shit
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> you already know now
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> .........
[21:30] <@visceralVanguard> Is it bad that I know now?
[21:30] <@visceralVanguard> I have been intending to ask my book about these boxes ever since I got them, but because of the court case, I have not had the time.
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> i mean
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> i think it is
[21:30] <masterfulShooter> FUCK
[21:31] <@visceralVanguard> Why is it bad that I know?
[21:31] <masterfulShooter> FUCK FUCK FUCK DID I FUCK THIS UP
[21:31] <masterfulShooter> GOD DAMN IT
[21:31] <masterfulShooter> i mean
[21:31] <masterfulShooter> i probably fucked this all up now
[21:32] <@visceralVanguard> Why?
[21:32] <@visceralVanguard> If you can tell me why it is bad that I know, I can help you fix it!
[21:32] <masterfulShooter> thats like
[21:32] <masterfulShooter> exactly the problme
[21:32] <masterfulShooter> problem
[21:32] <masterfulShooter> aww fuck man
[21:33] <masterfulShooter> well
[21:33] <masterfulShooter> look
[21:33] <masterfulShooter> fuck i feel like this is going to keep me doing nothing if i tell you
[21:33] <masterfulShooter> but i feel like i already fucked it by saying this much
[21:33] <masterfulShooter> so
[21:34] <Abyss[AT]> < Wow Byron fucked this up fast lol >=
[21:34] <@visceralVanguard> So?
[21:35] <masterfulShooter> well
[21:35] <masterfulShooter> here you go
[21:35] <masterfulShooter> the fucked up plan
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> so
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> in the box was the mask i guess
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> but it was from
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> the fuckin future
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> well
[21:36] <@visceralVanguard> What????
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> from future you i guess
[21:36]  * visceralVanguard drops whatever he's holding and runs upstairs to his bedroom to see if the mask is still on his bed
[21:36] <Abyss[AT]> < goddammit Byron >
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> and then apparently me said that we would be cool or something
[21:36] <Abyss[AT]> < Fucking ruins all my plans >
[21:36] <masterfulShooter> which is really what makes it fake
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> because i FUCKIN HATE MASKS
[21:37] <@visceralVanguard> < did you seriously think there was ever any chance Byron was keeping a secret, let alone from a light player? :P >
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> AND IM GONNA FUCKIN BREAK THIS HSIT
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> SHIT
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> FUCKIN FUCK
[21:37] <@visceralVanguard> Wait, Byron!
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A TRAP
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> BY THE FUCKIN DEATH MASK
[21:37] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, calm down!
[21:37] <Abyss[AT]> < I thought he could keep it secret for 2 minutes Jesus fuck >
[21:37] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, I have information for you.
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> although i do appreciate the grist and shit like god damn
[21:37] <@visceralVanguard> Something that might help.
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> also there was a code or something
[21:37] <masterfulShooter> but otherwise
[21:38] <@visceralVanguard> Have you tried making it yet?
[21:38] <masterfulShooter> i apparently screwed up the timeline
[21:38] <masterfulShooter> and screwed up my chance at doing cool shit
[21:38] <masterfulShooter> which i guess
[21:38] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, we can figure this out.
[21:38] <masterfulShooter> is better for everyone
[21:38] <@visceralVanguard> No, you didn't.
[21:39] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, I know this doesn't make any sense right now, but whatever you do, PLEASE do not break that mask.
[21:39] <masterfulShooter> why not
[21:39] <masterfulShooter> shit you even put a smiley face on the end of it
[21:39]  * visceralVanguard opens the door to his room to see if the mask is still on his bed
[21:39] <masterfulShooter> that just really seals the deal right there
[21:39] <masterfulShooter> that makes it really fake
[21:39] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, I used a smiley just earlier in our conversation
[21:39] <masterfulShooter> like shit faerzen either the mask is trash or
[21:40] <@visceralVanguard> "I know you hate it when I ramble, so I will try and give you the summarized version. :) "
[21:40] <masterfulShooter> i mean relaly
[21:40] <masterfulShooter> really there isnt a good reason for the mask existing
[21:40] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, Byron, I know this is going to sound harsh, but please just listen to me and stop talking.
[21:40] <@visceralVanguard> This isn't the end of the world, and we can figure it out.
[21:40] <Abyss[AT]> Abyss is there
[21:40]  * visceralVanguard goes and sits down on the chair at his desk
[21:41] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, Byron, let me continue where I left off, and hopefully we can piece things together.
[21:42] <@visceralVanguard> Long story short, the court case went well for me, I ripped Lyra to shreds metaphorically speaking, and she was declared legally insane. That doesn't really mean anything other than she cannot be bound by legal contracts anymore.
[21:42] <@visceralVanguard> After the court case was over is where the relevant details come into play.
[21:42] <masterfulShooter> well i mean
[21:42] <masterfulShooter> good for you i guess
[21:42] <masterfulShooter> more magical cool shit that you did
[21:43] <@visceralVanguard> No, it wasn't magical cool shit.
[21:43] <masterfulShooter> i mean i did some magical cool shit in my day
[21:43] <@visceralVanguard> It was sitting on a hard piece of grass being sad and stressed.
[21:43] <@visceralVanguard> Really, it was quite the experience I rather wish I hadn't had at all.
[21:43] <@visceralVanguard> I wasn't off busy being a hero or anything, I was quite literally caught up in bureaucratic and legal bullshit.
[21:44] <masterfulShooter> which isnt being a hero
[21:44] <@visceralVanguard> Doing what I do? Hell no! That's totally not heroic at all.
[21:44] <@visceralVanguard> I'm bossy, I sit and think, and I try and fix problems I created.
[21:45] <@visceralVanguard> That is totally un-heroic if I ever saw it.
[21:45] <masterfulShooter> yeah but what do i do
[21:45] <masterfulShooter> oh wait
[21:45] <masterfulShooter> the answer to that question is jack hsit
[21:46] <masterfulShooter> look at this
[21:46] <masterfulShooter> i had a chance to do something and i obviously fucked it
[21:46] <masterfulShooter> so even if it was a trap
[21:46] <@visceralVanguard> No, you didn't!
[21:46] <masterfulShooter> at least it would be something
[21:46] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, I know this is going to sound harsh, but please shut up.
[21:46] <@visceralVanguard> I am going to tell you a great deal of things you quite literally told me several days ago
[21:47] <@visceralVanguard> Wallowing around in self-pity is not going to get you anywhere.
[21:47] <Abyss[AT]> As Byron goes to crumple up the note in his hand he turns to see the backside of it
[21:47] <@visceralVanguard> It is useful insofar that it gets you to get up and fix the problem and take action.
[21:47] <@visceralVanguard> You are not useless or hopeless.
[21:47] <Abyss[AT]> "Byron, you can still be a hero as long as you don't say anything else, we trust you"
[21:48] <@visceralVanguard> Yeah, you may have made several mistakes that you really regret, but that isn't the end of the world.
[21:48] <masterfulShooter> woah FUCK THIS IS SOME INCEPTION SHIT RIGHT HERE WHAT THE FUCK
[21:48] <masterfulShooter> FUCKING FUCK
[21:48] <@visceralVanguard> Hmm?
[21:48] <masterfulShooter> CAN THEY TALK TO ME FROM THE FUCKIN FUTURE GOD DAMN HOLY FUCK
[21:48] <masterfulShooter> NOT...NOT INCEPTION
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> WHATS THAT OTHER SHITTY SCI FI GAME
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> UH
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> I HATE PUZZLE GAMES THEY ALL JUST BLEND TOGETHER
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> THE OTHERONE
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> YEAH WHATEVER YOU GET THE POINT
[21:49] <masterfulShooter> FAERZEN I SHOULD PROBABLY GO BEFORE I SPEW ANY MORE INFO
[21:49] <@visceralVanguard> No, Byron, please don't leave
[21:49] <@visceralVanguard> I have important things to tell you.
[21:50] <@visceralVanguard> If you really do have the mask with you, then you need to know this.
[21:50] <@visceralVanguard> Okay?
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> FINE FAERZEN YOU CAN HAVE IT YOUR WAY
[21:51] <@visceralVanguard> Thank you.
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> BUT YOULL HAVE TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSIVE SHIT AGAIN
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> ONCE THIS ADRENALINE WEARS OFF AND I START TALKING
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> REMEMBER
[21:51] <@visceralVanguard> That's fine.
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> SHIT THOUGH THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE
[21:51] <masterfulShooter> FUCK
[21:52] <@visceralVanguard> I'm your bro, remember? I'm not leaving you just because you stop yelling. I'm here no matter what.
[21:52] <@visceralVanguard> Abyss is a sentient being that inhabits that mask.
[21:53] <@visceralVanguard> It is nearly impossible to kill Abyss, and even if you were to somehow succeed, it would only lead to an incredible release of power and many undesirable things.
[21:53] <@visceralVanguard> Killing Abyss right now is simply straight up not an option.
[21:53] <@visceralVanguard> It may even be more dangerous than leaving Abyss alive.
[21:54] <@visceralVanguard> I know not what this "future" information is that you have, but under NO circumstances should you attempt to kill Abyss or destroy the mask.
[21:54] <masterfulShooter> SO ITS LIKE A FUCKIN
[21:54] <masterfulShooter> NUKE THEN
[21:54] <masterfulShooter> BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE TO TOSS THAT SHIT INTO THE SUN
[21:54] <masterfulShooter> THE FUCKIN SUN
[21:54] <@visceralVanguard> I do not believe it is a nuke at all.
[21:55] <@visceralVanguard> Suffice it say that could be incredibly dangerous though. To everyone.
[21:56] <@visceralVanguard> If you ever wanted to be a hero, destroying that mask is likely one of the ways that you could make that not happen. It is possible that I will learn otherwise--that is another of the things on my list to inquire about--but for now destroying the mask is out of the question.
[21:56] <@visceralVanguard> The other thing is what Abyss said after the trial.
[21:56] <@visceralVanguard> From the trial and everything before, it seemed to us as though Abyss was a malevolent entity seeking to destroy us and take over the session or something similar.
[21:57] <@visceralVanguard> However, it is very possible that this is not the case.
[21:57] <@visceralVanguard> Abyss told us after the trial a complicated story.
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> well apparently to you me and Abyss become bros or some shit
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> which is something that i already said so i dont think it counts
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> right
[21:57] <@visceralVanguard> You did say that already.
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> if it does you can just like
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> write it again on the other side or something
[21:57] <masterfulShooter> shit that was crazy
[21:58] <@visceralVanguard> So you mean to say that I wrote you information from the future saying that you should become friends with the mask?
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> not should
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> you said that i was
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> in the future
[21:58] <@visceralVanguard> Interesting.
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> along with some other shit
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> you didnt tell me anything that i would have wanted to know
[21:58] <masterfulShooter> hmmph
[21:58] <@visceralVanguard> The story Abyss told us, if true, would mean all of this was simply a misunderstanding.
[21:59] <@visceralVanguard> That Abyss wasn't a cold malevolent entity and that instead others had taken advantage of his power and used it for destruction.
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> nope thats true
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> thats like
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> 99 percent chance thats true
[21:59] <@visceralVanguard> Just like if there is a famous gun that was known to have killed a lot of people. It isn't really that gun's fault. It is the people who use it.
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> i mean did you see what he did to nick
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> shit
[21:59] <@visceralVanguard> What who did to Nick?
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> remember that time he threw me through a wall
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> remember that
[21:59] <masterfulShooter> the mask
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> wait no you were asleep
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> That wasn't the mask.
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> classic
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> That was Nick.
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> oh
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> huh
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> Nick was drawing power from the mask.
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> well then
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> ow
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> Supposedly.
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> This is what I am trying to tell you.
[22:00] <masterfulShooter> well i guess me and nick are cool now so i dont really care
[22:00] <@visceralVanguard> It is entirely possible that that mask is simply a sort of bystander in all of this that gotten taken advantage of, and it is fine to be friends with.
[22:01] <@visceralVanguard> It is also possible that this story is false and it is just another lie that is apart of his plan to trick us.
[22:01] <@visceralVanguard> I do not know which, and I plan to try and find out.
[22:01] <@visceralVanguard> So PLEASE.
[22:01] <@visceralVanguard> PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
[22:01] <@visceralVanguard> Be careful.
[22:02] <@visceralVanguard> Now that you have told me that supposedly your box involves time travel, that corroborates both of the ideas I had for the sources of the boxes.
[22:02] <@visceralVanguard> And it is entirely possible that the source of the boxes very much wishes to hurt us.
[22:02] <@visceralVanguard> Possibly not.
[22:02] <@visceralVanguard> But we do not know.
[22:03] <@visceralVanguard> I know that you do not like being cautious, but with something as powerful as the mask and as unknown as the box, you need to be.
[22:03] <@visceralVanguard> For now, act as though that box is from me, and follow whatever it is I told you.
[22:03] <masterfulShooter> well its not like im going to put it on
[22:03] <masterfulShooter> shit i fuckin hate masks
[22:03] <@visceralVanguard> That very well may be a good idea.
[22:03] <masterfulShooter> what no
[22:03] <@visceralVanguard> You can talk to the mask without wearing it.
[22:03] <masterfulShooter> wrong answer faerzen this mask is going in the cabinet
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> it can talk to me through the fuckin cabinet if it wants to
[22:04] <@visceralVanguard> You're just going to hide it and leave it at that?
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> what no
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> im gonna put it in the cabinet and talk to it through the cabinet
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> so i dont have to see the shitty
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> mask face
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> or i might just cover it in toothbrushes
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> i found a shit ton of toothbrushes in taranes cabinet
[22:04] <Abyss[AT]> < Byron is so ignorant and adorable >
[22:04] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, I would like to say that may not be an entirely wise thing to do either.
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> i dont know why she has so many
[22:04] <masterfulShooter> its weird
[22:05] <@visceralVanguard> She is an alien.
[22:05] <masterfulShooter> true
[22:05] <@visceralVanguard> Perhaps they like toothbrushes a lot or use them for something else we do not.
[22:05] <masterfulShooter> huh
[22:05] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, Byron.
[22:05] <@visceralVanguard> You say the mask is inside the box?
[22:05] <masterfulShooter> wait no
[22:05] <masterfulShooter> no go back to the cabinet thing
[22:05] <masterfulShooter> why is that not a good idea
[22:05] <@visceralVanguard> That is what I am getting to here.
[22:06] <masterfulShooter> i mean im not touching it
[22:06] <masterfulShooter> faerzen im not touching the fucking mask
[22:06] <@visceralVanguard> If it is in fact true that Abyss is not terribly at fault for what happened while people used the mask, then Abyss has some genuine emotional wounds.
[22:06] <@visceralVanguard> I would recommend doing this instead.
[22:06] <@visceralVanguard> Leave it in the box.
[22:06] <@visceralVanguard> Leave the box open.
[22:06] <@visceralVanguard> Hold the box.
[22:07] <Abyss[AT]> Byron realizes he has unconsciously been stroking the mask's feathers while listening to Faerzen... Because they're just so damn soft and fluffy and they feel just goddamned amazing!
[22:07] <Abyss[AT]> Shit you should probably not touch them
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> nONONO NONONONONON
[22:07] <@visceralVanguard> And talk to the mask that way.
[22:07] <Abyss[AT]> But COMMON SENSE BE DAMNED THEY ARE SO DOWNY
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> NONONO NOONONONONONNONNNOONON
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
[22:07] <@visceralVanguard> What is the matter?
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> THIS IS SOME VELVET SHIT
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> GOD DAMN
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> FUCK
[22:07] <masterfulShooter> EUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[22:08] <masterfulShooter> *awkwardly fumbling with mask*
[22:08] <masterfulShooter> WHY WOULD I EVEN
[22:08] <masterfulShooter> IM GOING TO THROW THIS FUCKING BOX AT THE WALL
[22:08] <masterfulShooter> SHIT
[22:08] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, wait!
[22:08] <@visceralVanguard> Why?
[22:08] <@visceralVanguard> What is wrong??
[22:09] <masterfulShooter> I FUCKING TOUCHED IT
[22:09] <masterfulShooter> I FUCKING TOUUUUCHED IIIIIIIIT
[22:09] <masterfulShooter> WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
[22:09] <@visceralVanguard> Oh.
[22:10] <@visceralVanguard> Byron, please calm down.
[22:10] <masterfulShooter> okay mask is in the cabinet
[22:10] <masterfulShooter> we can continue this conversation
[22:11] <@visceralVanguard> If you are so disgusted by the mask, I would encourage you to try this.
[22:11] <@visceralVanguard> Leave the mask in the cabinet, and sit across from the cabinet with the cabinet door open.
[22:11] <@visceralVanguard> Then you can talk to it from a distance with it safely contained, but it isn't obscured in blackness, alone.
[22:12] <masterfulShooter> why would i open the fucking door
[22:12] <masterfulShooter> why would a mask care about darkness
[22:12] <masterfulShooter> it doesnt even have eyes
[22:12] <@visceralVanguard> It can see regardless.
[22:12] <@visceralVanguard> It has the ability to sense its surroundings or something along those lines.
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> wha...t
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> the fuck
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> okay so
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> is it a person
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> or is it a mask
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> or should i call it abyss
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> i mean that just sounds lame
[22:13] <@visceralVanguard> It is a sentient being that inhabits a mask.
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> i should call it like
[22:13] <@visceralVanguard> If you are talking about the being inside the mask, then call it Abyss.
[22:13] <Abyss[AT]> A part of Byron wants to take out the mask and just stroke it but that's really fucking weird if it's a guy
[22:13] <masterfulShooter> no im gonna call it Corporal
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> that is what i have settled on and that is what is going to happen
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> wait theres something inside of the mask
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> what
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> no
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> whats the word
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> uh
[22:14] <@visceralVanguard> You call it what you want, but know that most people and powerful entities alike don't generally like people obstinately refusing to call them by their real name.
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> elaborate
[22:14] <masterfulShooter> the fucks inside the mask
[22:15] <@visceralVanguard> Inside? Ornate decorations.
[22:15] <@visceralVanguard> I have seen them myself.
[22:16] <masterfulShooter> no i mean
[22:16] <masterfulShooter> you said
[22:16] <masterfulShooter> the mask is alive
[22:16] <masterfulShooter> is it a dude
[22:17] <@visceralVanguard> It told me it identifies as such, yes.
[22:18] <masterfulShooter> oh
[22:18] <masterfulShooter> well i mean
[22:18] <masterfulShooter> was it like a person
[22:18] <masterfulShooter> or is it like a game thing
[22:18] <masterfulShooter> i mean i could just be an npc
[22:18] <@visceralVanguard> The latter seems more likely, but I do not know for certain.
[22:21] <@visceralVanguard> Anyways, I know what I am asking here is hard and unclear on how to actually execute
[22:21] <@visceralVanguard> But please be both careful and respectful.
[22:21] <masterfulShooter> of the mask
[22:22] <masterfulShooter> you might have to get back to me on that one
[22:22] <masterfulShooter> i mean again
[22:22] <@visceralVanguard> That mask could very well be very dangerous or it could very well be lonely and abused.
[22:22] <masterfulShooter> apparently we get good so
[22:22] <@visceralVanguard> We do not know at this point.
[22:22] <@visceralVanguard> If that box was really from me.
[22:22] <masterfulShooter> what if im the one to fuckin discover how much of a bro the mask really is or something
[22:23] <masterfulShooter> thatd be pretty hype
[22:23] <masterfulShooter> although then again that would mean i was wrong
[22:23] <masterfulShooter> hmm
[22:23] <@visceralVanguard> From what I have seen so far, the mask seems capable of being quite nice.
[22:23] <@visceralVanguard> I have yet to discern if it is genuine of not.
[22:24] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, how about this, Byron.
[22:24] <masterfulShooter> what if the mask is you
[22:24] <masterfulShooter> OH SHIT
[22:24] <masterfulShooter> BURN
[22:24] <masterfulShooter> BUUUUURN
[22:24] <@visceralVanguard> The last time I asked a sentient being inhabiting an inanimate object if it was me, it killed itself.
[22:25] <@visceralVanguard> So yes, I already know that being me is an incredible burn.
[22:25] <@visceralVanguard> Thank you.
[22:26] <masterfulShooter> woah shit
[22:26] <masterfulShooter> is that not fuckin awesome
[22:26] <masterfulShooter> that could be your super power
[22:27] <masterfulShooter> wait no thats probably insensitive
[22:27] <masterfulShooter> shit
[22:27] <@visceralVanguard> Yes, it is insensitive, but that is fine. I already had quite a lengthy talk with Nick about this.
[22:27] <@visceralVanguard> The talk went quite well, so it is okay.
[22:28] <@visceralVanguard> I know that I'm a sadistic, manipulative, egotistical control freak, and it is time to move forward from there and work past that.
[22:28] <masterfulShooter> didnt you say that
[22:28] <masterfulShooter> like
[22:28] <masterfulShooter> 4 days ago
[22:28] <masterfulShooter> according to nicks theory of us only being here a week or something
[22:28] <masterfulShooter> remember
[22:29] <masterfulShooter> the first time you slept
[22:29] <masterfulShooter> and then you woke up
[22:29] <masterfulShooter> then you had that little thingy that we did
[22:29] <masterfulShooter> remember that
[22:29] <masterfulShooter> you said the same thing then
[22:29] <@visceralVanguard> Yes, I do.
[22:30] <@visceralVanguard> And no, I didn't.
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> i mean im not trying to like
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> be a jerk
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> but i mena
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> mean
[22:30] <@visceralVanguard> Things have gotten a lot worse since then and I have learned a lot about myself since then.
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> well i mean apparently you didnt and im not known for remembering shit so
[22:30] <@visceralVanguard> Back then, I thought I was just egotistical and that I could just try and cover it up and it would be okay.
[22:30] <masterfulShooter> oh yeah that was a thing wasnt it
[22:31] <@visceralVanguard> It turns out there is a whole lot more wrong with me than just that, and over this past week, I have uncovered just how much.
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> youve really evolved over the
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> days
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> i havent had that time for revelation
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> well i mean
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> nope
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> havent learned anything new about myself
[22:31] <masterfulShooter> wait no
[22:32] <@visceralVanguard> Learning things about yourself is really quite a good thing, I think.
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> yeah nope
[22:32] <@visceralVanguard> It often hurts, but it is worth it to know more about who you are in the end.
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> cant think of anything
[22:32] <@visceralVanguard> Then if you do not like who it is you see in the mirror you can work to change that.
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> who knows
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> maybe corporal will fix that
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> oh shit yeah i tried to not be fat
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> remember how i hiked up a mountain
[22:32] <masterfulShooter> and died
[22:33] <@visceralVanguard> :/
[22:33] <masterfulShooter> remember how i fought a giant licorice monster and almost died
[22:33] <masterfulShooter> remember how i fought a bunch of sugar monsters and almost died
[22:33] <masterfulShooter> so i mean i guess thats just a part of me now
[22:33] <masterfulShooter> oh well
[22:34] <@visceralVanguard> You certainly do love diving right into the action, that is for sure.
[22:34] <@visceralVanguard> Sometimes it ends up working out, sometimes you regret some of your actions.
[22:34] <@visceralVanguard> Maybe you can try to learn something from that?
[22:36] <masterfulShooter> what are you talking about
[22:36] <masterfulShooter> what have i ever regretted
[22:36] <@visceralVanguard> You certainly seem to regret a lot when it comes to Tarane.
[22:37] <@visceralVanguard> All you ever seem to say in reference to her is "shit, I fucked up."
[22:37] <masterfulShooter> i mean but
[22:37] <masterfulShooter> uh
[22:38] <masterfulShooter> it doesnt matter
[22:39] <@visceralVanguard> I am clearly *not* the person you should be talking to if you want romantic advice, however.
[22:39] <masterfulShooter> i should stop bothering her anyway
[22:39] <@visceralVanguard> I think that is up to you to decide.
[22:40] <@visceralVanguard> I think that perhaps having a *reasonable* conversation with her might help you figure out what you should do and what she wants to do.
[22:40] <masterfulShooter> no shes clearly stated that already
[22:40] <@visceralVanguard> What did she say?
[22:40] <masterfulShooter> about 2-3 times to do something else
[22:41] <masterfulShooter> you know
[22:41] <masterfulShooter> i should sto
[22:41] <masterfulShooter> stop
[22:41] <masterfulShooter> because i just sound lame now
[22:41] <@visceralVanguard> No, you don't.
[22:41] <masterfulShooter> and its important anyway
[22:41] <@visceralVanguard> You don't sound lame at all.
[22:41] <@visceralVanguard> You sound like you are being honest.
[22:41] <@visceralVanguard> That is a very good thing to be.
[22:42] <@visceralVanguard> Everybody is far from perfect, and expecting yourself to be and hiding the parts of you that aren't is never going to help.
[22:42] <@visceralVanguard> I know that first-hand.
[22:43] <masterfulShooter> oh man
[22:43] <masterfulShooter> whoo
[22:43] <masterfulShooter> that was funny
[22:43] <masterfulShooter> man i could just hear his voice
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> "it was all a trick all the romance all the emotions it was all fake"
[22:44] <@visceralVanguard> Nick?
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> i talked to him a little while ago
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> you
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> didnt know
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> what
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> arent you like in the same house
[22:44] <masterfulShooter> wait shit
[22:45] <@visceralVanguard> He told me you two talked.
[22:45] <masterfulShooter> isnt that why he needed the toothbrush
[22:45] <masterfulShooter> to talk to you
[22:45] <masterfulShooter> wait what is a toothbrush anyway
[22:45] <@visceralVanguard> He never told me he needed a toothbrush. I believe that was while he was still at his house.
[22:45] <@visceralVanguard> I have plenty of toothbrushes here at my house for him to use, so do not bother with it anymore.
[22:45] <@visceralVanguard> You do not know what a toothbrush is?
[22:46] <@visceralVanguard> They are relatively archaic tools. They are essentially a small brush on the end of a stick that you use to clean your teeth.
[22:46] <masterfulShooter> no
[22:46] <masterfulShooter> i never needed to know
[22:46] <@visceralVanguard> In our time, people had other ways of taking care of their teeth.
[22:47] <@visceralVanguard> Ways that didn't involve sitting for a couple minutes and scrubbing them with plastic hairs.
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> what
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> that sounds so fucking stupid
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> just like pills
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> what the fuck
[22:47] <@visceralVanguard> It really was quite inefficient.
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> why would you have to swallow something hard
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> when you want to stop hurting
[22:47] <masterfulShooter> that is so dumb
[22:48] <@visceralVanguard> Oh, Byron.
[22:48] <@visceralVanguard> Speaking of Nick.
[22:48] <@visceralVanguard> In about 24 hours, could you meet me at my house?
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> what
[22:49] <@visceralVanguard> I have a surprise for Nick, and I would like you to be there. :)
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> you want me
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> to fly to your house
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> in twenty four hours
[22:49] <@visceralVanguard> You can take the gates. They are much quicker than flying straight to my planet.
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> does that mean im going to actually have to turn on the clock
[22:49] <masterfulShooter> i fucking hate the clock
[22:49] <@visceralVanguard> No, you do not have to if you do not want to.
[22:50] <@visceralVanguard> I can simply remind you when the time is nearer.
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> oh
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> okay that would
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> be useful
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> should i bring the mask or
[22:50] <@visceralVanguard> I simply want you to know in about 1 day I would like you at my house.
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> also if its a surprise for nick its not a surprise for me
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> so you can
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> tell me what it is
[22:50] <masterfulShooter> right
[22:50] <@visceralVanguard> We can decide what to do with the mask when the time comes.
[22:51] <@visceralVanguard> Yes, I could tell you, but I'm not! You just told me not too long ago you're not terribly good at keeping secrets. :)
[22:51] <masterfulShooter> but im not talking to nick though
[22:51] <masterfulShooter> i still have 1/2 of the timeline left
[22:51] <masterfulShooter> im not fucking that up
[22:52] <masterfulShooter> i mean you dont have to tell me
[22:52] <masterfulShooter> im just not that good with suspense
[22:52] <masterfulShooter> oh well
[22:52] <masterfulShooter> im probably going to set up my
[22:52] <@visceralVanguard> Do you have some MLG food still around your house?
[22:52] <masterfulShooter> mask talk station
[22:52] <@visceralVanguard> I'm sure if you are out, you can find plenty outside.
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> i dont even know if my house is still there
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt
[22:53] <@visceralVanguard> Wait, are you still at Tarane's house?
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> although hopefully if it is
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> i can break into my dads room
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> well...yes
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> i mean i didnt want to leave with her still bleeding out
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> but she seems fine now
[22:53] <@visceralVanguard> You were not particularly clear earlier when I asked you what Tarane said she wanted you to do.
[22:53] <masterfulShooter> so i guess i can go
[22:54] <@visceralVanguard> Did she say she wanted you to give her some space?
[22:54] <masterfulShooter> that is true
[22:54] <masterfulShooter> well
[22:54] <masterfulShooter> thats that i guess
[22:54] <@visceralVanguard> Then I think it might be best to give her some space if you think she is doing okay health-wise then.
[22:55] <@visceralVanguard> You can set up your mask talk station at your house then.
[22:55] <masterfulShooter> going back to lolmlgar sure is going to be an experience
[22:55] <@visceralVanguard> When you come to my house in about 24 hours, can you do one thing for me?
[22:55] <@visceralVanguard> Can you collect some of your favorite MLG food and bring it with you?
[22:56] <@visceralVanguard> I haven't had much "MLG food" being from Norway in academics, and I would like to try some of the things you like. :)
[22:56] <masterfulShooter> youo want me to bring the planet
[22:56] <masterfulShooter> you
[22:56] <@visceralVanguard> Please don't bring the whole planet!
[22:56] <@visceralVanguard> Just some bags of MLG food.
[22:56] <@visceralVanguard> Bringing the whole planet seems quite impossible and ill-advised!
[22:56] <masterfulShooter> faerzen what you dont realize is that
[22:56] <masterfulShooter> its a fuckin planet made of food
[22:56] <masterfulShooter> theres continents and shit
[22:57] <@visceralVanguard> Yes.
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> and climates and regions and shit
[22:57] <@visceralVanguard> You can take some MLG food you happen to have lying around the house, or you can harvest some from outside!
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> im gonna have to be a fuckin
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> wildlife expert
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> to find the good shit
[22:57] <@visceralVanguard> If anyone were an MLG food expert, it would be you though!
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> like im going to be a fuckin nature show host
[22:57] <masterfulShooter> trekking through those woods and shit
[22:58] <@visceralVanguard> That sounds about right.
[22:58] <masterfulShooter> i kinda want to try a vegetable or something
[22:58] <@visceralVanguard> Best MLG food nature show host right there.
[22:58] <masterfulShooter> do you have any of the vegetables
[22:58] <@visceralVanguard> I have plenty of those at my house!
[22:58] <masterfulShooter> or the fruits
[22:58] <@visceralVanguard> I have a lot of food at my house.
[22:58] <masterfulShooter> well shit
[22:58] <masterfulShooter> i guess we have to do a little trady thing then
[22:58] <@visceralVanguard> That sounds like quite the deal!
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> wait i meant to ask you something
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> did you leave juice in my hood that one time i came to your house
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> because i found some in my hood
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> and it had like
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> fancy norweigian shit on it
[22:59] <masterfulShooter> so
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> You found that?
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> Yes I did!!!
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> What did you think of it?
[23:00] <masterfulShooter> woah shit
[23:00] <masterfulShooter> it was some delicious ass shit right there
[23:00] <masterfulShooter> god damn
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> Of course it was!
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> That juice is some of my favorite.
[23:00] <@visceralVanguard> That is essentially my entire childhood, right there in a bottle.
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> huh
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> i guess i have to bring some fuckin
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> mountain dew
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> straight from the tap
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> although my dad might have like
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> doped it up or something
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> when he gave it to me
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> so i might not have the same
[23:01] <masterfulShooter> effect
[23:02] <@visceralVanguard> Bring lots of snacks!
[23:02] <@visceralVanguard> I am sure it will be excellent.
[23:02] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, Byron, I know you aren't supposed to tell me anything more about the future box, so you do not have to. But I think keeping each other posted on what we learn about the mask would be a very good idea. Promise you will stay in touch about how your mask talk session goes? I will be sure to keep you posted on what I learn as well.
[23:03] <@visceralVanguard> Given that the mask could be dangerous, I think it would be good to have each other's backs, just in case.
[23:03] <masterfulShooter> well
[23:03] <masterfulShooter> okay then
[23:03] <masterfulShooter> should i be a dick or
[23:03] <@visceralVanguard> You don't have to pretend like nobody ever did anything bad with the mask ever. That's just not true.
[23:03] <@visceralVanguard> But try not to go out of your way to be a dick.
[23:05] <@visceralVanguard> Okay, Byron, I'm glad we talked. :)
[23:05] <masterfulShooter> well okay then i guess
[23:06] <@visceralVanguard> Glad to hear you will at least try.
[23:06] <@visceralVanguard> Hopefully it goes okay?
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> i hope so
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> see what i did there
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> see
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> it was
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> a pun
[23:07] <@visceralVanguard> I see!
[23:07] <@visceralVanguard> Nice work.
[23:07] <masterfulShooter> yeah!
[23:08] <masterfulShooter> woo
[23:08] <@visceralVanguard> You have in fact made the pun.
[23:08] <@visceralVanguard> Before we go, I have one more thing to ask of you.
[23:09] <@visceralVanguard> I know that it seems future me is okay with everything, but I want you to know that I really am sorry about what I said about the cogs and everything.
[23:10] <@visceralVanguard> This mask situation is confusing and very likely dangerous, but I know that you can do this.
[23:10] <masterfulShooter> you know that means a lot
[23:11] <masterfulShooter> but the thing is
[23:11] <masterfulShooter> you already told me i could
[23:11] <@visceralVanguard> That was future me, so that doesn't count.
[23:11] <@visceralVanguard> That hasn't happened yet.
[23:11] <@visceralVanguard> This is current me. In this moment. Right now.
[23:12] <@visceralVanguard> That isn't some thought that I will eventually have sometime town the road. This is me having that thought right now.
[23:12] <masterfulShooter> shit
[23:12] <masterfulShooter> this is some next level motivation
[23:12] <@visceralVanguard> Just be careful. :)
[23:22] <masterfulShooter> alright faerzen
[23:22] <masterfulShooter> ill see you in
[23:22] <masterfulShooter> a day
[23:22] <masterfulShooter> or so
[23:23] <@visceralVanguard> But I will talk with you soon!
[23:23] <@visceralVanguard> I will be good to see you in person in a day. I will make sure I remember to remind you.
[23:24] <masterfulShooter> that would probably be for best
[23:25] <@visceralVanguard> Indeed.
[23:25] <@visceralVanguard> Talk with you late, Byron. Have a safe trip back to LOMLGAR
[23:25]  * visceralVanguard [VV] bid farewell to masterfulShooter [MS]
