Wow, that's a lot of bu--

WHAT WAS THAT? A--dragon? Or??

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

That was me.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

You can turn into a giant eldritch bug dragon??

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Turn into isn't EXACTLY right. I can "turn into" or co-exist in both this form and that form separately at the same time. I just am that, just as I am this. Which form is the "true" body, I don't know.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

I. . I see. I guess, maybe, it doesn't matter? That doesn't seem like a convenient body to have.

So maybe that's why you look the way you do now? I don't think that other body would fit in the dorms.

[Poofs back to normal size, sitting on the pillow]

Considering my other body is nine hundred miles long...? Yes, that would be a problem.

[shudders]

Yeah, I thought Tea could get big, but this is a whole other level! I have no idea how you guys manage stuff like that, I can't even comprehend it.

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

"Stuff like that"...?

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

Having powers to create or destroy a universe, existing as multiple yous. . .it's beyond normal people's scope, you know? It sounds like a lot to deal with.

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Really? It seems to me that people have a lot more to deal with.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

I mean--yes and no? I think it's moreso that we're so small that everything seems like a lot. Hell, I freak out when I get crumbs in my bed. There are way bigger problems in the world, too.

So to have that on top of whatever magical stuff you have to deal with. . .I don't think I could do it.

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I think it's easier. When all you see are the big things, it's easy to focus. One large obstacle is easier than a thousand small ones, even if that one is made of smaller parts, it's still a clear role.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

[. . .

bro u good]

I. . .guess, but is it really all that clear?

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Is any FGO?]

How would I know? I hardly have any memories.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

You should take more for one, but. . .[rubs at his head] I don't know. I understand having 'roles' here because we're doing a job. But I don't think there's any. Hm. True role? For anyone out in the world. But maybe it seems that way for you since you literally can see more than I can.

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Oh? And how many memories have YOU taken?

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

Er--well, you know, about--[coughs into a hand muttering an indiscernible number;;]

So, yeah!

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Sooooo...safe to say you should hardly be talking then?

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

I just didn't want to see any other weird stuff after the last few, okay? But I'm positive I'm not a spirit or dragon or god or whatever!

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

No need to brag about it.

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

[snorts]

Only you would think my life is worth bragging about.

Re: Night 465

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Are you disappointed? In your memories?

Re: Night 465

[darkroastbean]

Hm. . .not really? It's not that I'm disappointed, just a bit tired. There's been a lot of emotional whiplash, and if I get another memory thinking that all my friends are dead only for them to be fine in the next, I might have a breakdown.

. . .saying it outloud, that sounds kind of trivial. I'm glad for it, honestly. Didn't expect to be a conartist, but this is what goes along with it.
