A few days! Wow! You say it like it’s a punishment. Shouldn’t you be excited to get out?

From:

darkroastbean

. . .

I mean, yeah, in general? I really rather not being in. . .hell. . .and having cameras on me is kinda unnerving.

But at the same time, you guys are just as important to me now? Like, I missed my friends, but quite frankly, you all have been way nicer.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

You should get new friends if this is considered raising the bar.

From:

darkroastbean

I get attached really easily.

. . .

So do you think it's possible? For me to summon you, that is.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

[Well, that manages to catch him off guard]

…no. Not this version of me anyways. You could get one or the other.

From:

darkroastbean

--that would defeat the point. Why would there be other versions? I just want to see you again.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Because I’m not always Oberon when I’m summoned.

…you could just ask me to go there when I graduate instead of trying to summon me.

From:

darkroastbean

Would you?

Wait. Is Oberon your name?

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

No, not if you asked me now while you’re compromised by emotions about leaving.

And I told you it before. Oberon. King of faeries.

From:

darkroastbean

--I didn't realize before! I thought you were just saying grand titles for the hell of it!

And when am I NOT going to be compromised by feelings?!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

You….didn’t fucking realize…this whole time…

From:

darkroastbean

Of course I didn't! How many people would assume their friend is the actual incarnation of a classic literary character?!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Tea’s a dragon. W’s a superhero. R is…whatever R is.

From:

darkroastbean

Yeah, but they're not people that exist in a different form in my world. It's different!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Does that change your offer then? Is that too weird?

From:

darkroastbean

Of course it's weird! But no, it doesn't. As long as you don't care about there being books that describe your adventures, it's fine. That's fiction, this is real life!

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Exactly, it’s fiction. Shakespeare is a jerk, so don’t read that garbage.

From:

darkroastbean

Shakespeare is also a real person where you're from. . .? That's so confusing. In any case, I still want you to come back! At least consider it? I can't promise it'll be interesting all the time, but at least you'd be allowed to exist without being bound to a script.

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

..I won’t say no, but if you want me to say yes I have one condition.

From:

darkroastbean

What's that?

From:

morelikefakespeareamirite

Wait and ask again later. You can write, it said so…go to your world, get all your memories, see your friends…and then ask after you’ve had time to really think about it.
