I don't really like doing that announcement thing, but since I'm her roommate... Snow White's gone home! Which is good, that means she's finally back with James, who's her total love at first sight wonderful husband and she has a daughter that maybe she'll get to see now so I'm happy for her. Right, and Al left too, but that was last month. Uh... a few others, but I don't really know the full list.

It makes me curious about something else, though. What do you guys do to show you remember and care about people who you'll probably never see again in this lifetime?

considerin the circumstances its easier to just not once theyre gone

[Says the guy who has yet to have anyone he genuinely likes leave, tho.]

[whatsupcroc]

I'm not sure it's that easy, but why do you say that? Have you actually been that way with friends leaving you here?

[caligulas_aquarium]

ivve done that to friends yes
wwhat sort do you take me for here a hypocritical one

[Well, ok, not here technically, but..]

they probably dont evven remember you
wwhy fuckin bother goin through the trouble wwhen they aint gonna do you the same servvice considerin its as if you wwere nevver evven friends before anywway huh

[whatsupcroc]

Sure, you could be, all I really know about you is you complain, like purple, and seem kind of dissatisfied with things in general. We haven't talked so much, you know?

I feel it's important because they matter to me. That doesn't stop, 'cause they're here or not, or 'cause they remember me or not. Plus, doesn't that mean I have more chances to meet them all over again? New memories, and more to hold close, if they're not suddenly total jerks.

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwoww ok
not evven gonna lie here i dont remember speakin to you before this
but wwhatevver

besides wwhat if evverytime they showw up they ARE gonna be total jerks
wwhy fuckin bother THEN
seems like a total wwaste if you ask me

[whatsupcroc]

Hey would you say you're worth bothering with?

[caligulas_aquarium]

[No.]

obvviously
i mean ok fine maybe im a LITTLE ornery sometimes its hardly a fuckin friendship breaker right there is it

[whatsupcroc]

Nope! It isn't. But you just said you forgot you'd ever talked to me, and you didn't even need to zap back home and forget about this place to do it. People are like that anyway, and that hasn't stopped me from seeing if they do want to be friends. Would it really stop you?

[caligulas_aquarium]

look fine remember your damned friends if you wwant it aint no wwater off a my back if you wwanna do it that wway
but personally i just think its easier to not
buncha pointless heartache an drama is wwhat it is not evven wworth the time a day especially on repeat if they got a habit of disappearin on you

[whatsupcroc]

Does that mean I get to remember you too if you go away and come back without a memory of this place?

[caligulas_aquarium]

i uh
guess
i mean honestly i cannot fuckin comprehend the point in doin so you said it yourself wwe dont evven knoww each other too wwell at all
i swwear the amount a people around here wwantin to do rememberin is wweird first sim noww you
did i miss some sorta memo or somethin

[whatsupcroc]

Yes you did would you like me to forward you a copy?

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwait wwhat
i meant that in a jocular sorta wway did i seriously miss out on somethin here

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah, I'm not even sure I saved it in my inbox, you might want to ask Sollux if he still has a copy!

[caligulas_aquarium]

not happenin
id sooner rip off one of my owwn horns an shovve it up my nook than deal wwith that guy
if this so called MYSTERY MEMO is evven an actual thing id rather be outta the loop thanks

[whatsupcroc]

You know one thing i have got to admire about you guys (I mean trolls right now) is how creative you are with your words! Usually related to a violent action or twelve but it's very interesting to read!

It's okay I can just ask him for you no one should be left out of the loop! It means the mailing list is all wrong!

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell i wwouldnt exactly say ALL of us
but im definitely one a the more vvernacularlly inclined out of us trollwwise
anywway can wwe just cut out the captor speak for the lovve a god i cant evven stand hearin about the guy i dont wwant him havvin a reason to contact me of all things

[whatsupcroc]

Sure! You pick the new topic of conversation.

[caligulas_aquarium]

oh wwoww wway to put a guy on the spot all of a sudden
uh
wwhats wwith the font color
i thought humans dont do the wwhole hemotypin thing
an evven then ought it not to be some sorta red at that

[whatsupcroc]

No, we do colored text for fun but it's not really a blood thing. This is more about the conversation you don't remember us having!

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell wwhat happened
i mean at the vvery least if theres one thing you can remind me of wwithout needin to bring up certain pussvveined indivviduals its a convversation you wwere half a part of one on one

[whatsupcroc]

It wasn't important! You could say it was my first introduction to troll, hmm, customs? Politics? Caste systems?

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell at least you wwent wwith somethin off the spectrum
so i guess you DID learn somethin from it unlike most people

[whatsupcroc]

People learn! They also learn how to ignore what you say 'cause they want to be annoying so I guess that's a thing too!

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell generally speakin i find its the latter a those majority wwise
sometimes i just think folks go outta their wway to think of things to disrespect me wwith considerin the frequency a such happenin all the time
