- * You arrive at what appears to be a fancy diner. You spot Dave just outside.
- TG: oh hey john
- TG: hows it been
- TG: wanna grab some grub
- * You agree to Dave's food invitation.
- TG: cool right this way
- * You and Dave enter the building and get a table. Holy sh*t they have all you can eat complimentary breadsticks, nice.
- TG: well
- TG: here we are
- TG: so
- TG: looks like this journey of yours is almost over yeah
- TG: im sure you wanna go home just like the rest of us
- TG: we all know that feeling out here bro
- TG: though
- TG: maybe sometimes we gotta not take things for granted
- TG: i mean we got food drink friends
- TG: what more could a guy ask for
- TG: makes you really wonder if what you gotta do is worth it in the end
- TG: nah screw it
- TG: hey lemme tell you a story
- TG: so im helping jade out in lofaf right
- TG: sitting out there in the snow lookin for frogs
- TG: really boring if you ask me but seeing jades enthusiasm for it helps a little
- TG: somehow deep in the woods theres this cave that has a giant f*cking meteor in it
- TG: well i say giant but its not like its the size of texas or anything
- TG: anyway that meteor has a locked door
- TG: strange i know
- TG: if i were a guy like you id sit out there and practice knock knock jokes or some sh*t
- TG: anyway out of complete respect for the irony of the situation one of the times i go there i actually knock one out
- TG: yunno knock on wood motherf*cker its me the coolest guy in lofaf
- TG: that was just as terrible as it was that day
- TG: anyway yeah i go "knock knock"
- TG: and suddenly i hear a voice from the other side
- TG: a womans
- TG: "Who Is There" she says
- TG: i go "watch"
- TG: "Watch What" she says
- TG: i go "no youre supposed to say "watch who" thats how knock knock jokes work
- TG: she goes "Oh I See"
- TG: "Watch Who"
- TG: "damn didnt know it was as cold in there as it is out here
- TG: you might want to get a tissue or something"
- TG: gave her a solid minute before i explained the joke to her
- TG: "see its funny because watch who kinda sounds like a sneeze"
- TG: then a pause for dramatic effect
- TG: and shes busting out with laughter like she hasnt heard a joke before in her life
- TG: so i teach her more
- TG: she keeps laughing
- TG: but in the middle of my set she asks a question
- TG: "I Have Thought Of A Joke But It Is Not Of The Knock Knock Variety
- TG: Is That Alright"
- TG: and as much as my instinct is telling me to jokingly say no i oblige
- TG: so she starts it up
- TG: "What Do You Call A Nurturing Moth"
- TG: i tell her im stumped and she goes
- TG: "Moth-erly"
- TG: after a solid minute of silence i snicker
- TG: she snorts
- TG: we share in laughter from bad jokes
- TG: needless to say shes catching on quick and i may be out of my stand up comedy job
- TG: eventually i have to go
- TG: jade gets hangry without dinner
- TG: but she tells me to come back again
- TG: and so i did
- TG: then again and again id show up and we would tell dumb jokes to each other
- TG: sometimes rose comes out there with me
- TG: sometimes i catch her out there without me
- TG: though from what i hear whenever shes out there alone the two are waxing philosophical through the door
- TG: regardless its become a thing
- TG: a nice thing
- TG: telling sh*tty jokes through the door
- TG: it rules
- TG: beats standing around in the gogforsaken snow all day
- TG: one day i noticed she was a lot quieter than usual
- TG: against better judgement and having the lalondian dna in me activated i decide to play therapist and ask her whats wrong
- TG: she asked me about the prophecy and what i think about it
- TG: if i believe in it or not
- TG: everyone knows about the story of the human that entered the incipisphere
- TG: come to free its denizens from lord english
- TG: only few know its real
- TG: i ask her if shes seen any new humans show up
- TG: she said she knew a few
- TG: she asked if i was one
- TG: i asked if she wasnt
- TG: after a long silence i ask her something else
- TG: i say "if another one shows up promise me something
- TG: watch over him
- TG: and make sure hes safe
- TG: got it?
- TG: no offense but i know how trolls can be violent sometimes"
- TG: i hate asking others to make promises
- TG: but something about the seers predictions said i had to make this one
- TG: and i mean sh*t what a thing to ask right
- TG: we dont even know each others names
- TG: but i guess it makes things easier when shes been cracking up at my sh*tty puns all month
- TG: you get what im saying?
- TG: that promise i had her make
- TG: do you understand what would have happened if i kept my mouth shut?
- TG: brother...
- TG:. . . You'd be dead where you stand.
- TG: hey relax dude
- TG: you know id never actually do anything to you
- TG: nor would i let anything happen to you
- TG: i got you bro
- TG: and i mean havent we
- TG: we being her and i
- TG: done a good job at keeping you safe so far?
- TG: i mean look at you
- TG: havent died once
- TG: well i mean considering youre not your dreamself i think
- TG: the hells that look for
- TG: am i wrong?
- TG: well thats all i wanted to say
- TG: take care of yourself bro
- TG: cause some people really care about you
- * You watch as Dave leaves, throwing a peace sign your way.
