Worst yet, if you wanted to do anything. Welp. You can think about it but there is no way you can do anything more than dry hump like the desperate teenager you are.

[He holds up a finger, because making this terrible joke is better than everything else.] Brightside! No mess to freak out about. No chance of knocking anyone up. Just slip and slide, bro. Slip and slide.

[ghostytrainer]

Any and all plans to give us boners will fail from now on. We don't got one. We'll never got one because you can't got what you don't have to got with in the first place.

[Shut up that made perfect sense.]

Also, you dick, you just ruined slip n' slides forever.

[turntechtrainer]

[He grins. John just gave him a chance at being worse than before. It's all too easy to just keep going. Since there's no off switch anymore his grin grows wider.] You can be monkeys in a barrel.

Snakes and ladders. Bumping into each other on your way around the sorry board. [He leans closer because this is Dave being a dick as he drops his voice.] Claiming park place

[ghostytrainer]

[John shoves Dave away gently, snorting a little with laughter.]

You're terrible! I'm never going to be able to look at a board game the same way if you keep this up and then what will I do? Its like you're slowly trying to taint everything fun in this world.

[turntechtrainer]

I'm just making it fun. Don't be a spoil sport, dude. [Dave waggles his eyebrows, ignoring that it's probably hard to tell that.

He's being himself. Make jokes, keep going. He can't afford to do what he did in the game after a tragedy. Not here.

Besides, back there they had a chance at RISING UP. Here...

well.

John hadn't given up.

As long as John didn't fall, then he'd stand beside him. He snorts and prods at John's side.]

Fun allergic, that's you. Allll you.

[ghostytrainer]

[John will never give up. As long as there is still hope, still a chance, he won't give up.]

[And sometimes even when there is not a chance, but he thinks there's one because he's John and he's far too optimistic for his own good.]

Wow no I am not. I live off of fun! Thrive off of it! Fun is my lifeblood!

i would say sorry. but i can't

[turntechtrainer]

Right, because a bucket over the door is fun. You raunchy perv. [Troll bucket jokes? Why yes. He sinks that low.]

Oh wait, can't get it in now.

Whoops.

you're never sorry, don't lie

[ghostytrainer]

[Silence as John presumably just stares at Dave with a blankly incredulous face for a bit.]

[The seconds just stretch on and on.]

[And on.]

[And o--]

I am so done with you.

[So. Done. But he's not leaving or anything, despite being done.]

yeah that's true I laugh every time

[turntechtrainer]

[He just stands there with a flat look on his face, then he starts to crack up. Okay. That feels good.]

I can just picture the fact you should be making right now.

[A pause then he leans closer.] By the way.








The cake is a lie. That came true.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh Christ it did, didn't it? Ahahaha. Little late though, isn't it? Man... though that brings up the question of what have we been eating this whole time?

[He hasn't made it down to the cafeteria yet. He has no clue of the horrible, horrible truth.]

[turntechtrainer]

Do you want the spoilers or to do you want to go down and look?

[He knows the truth and it's not at all funny. It's such bullshit.]

[ghostytrainer]

Well... I'm not sure if I will actually end up making it down there or not. [Depends on how quickly he manages to find Rose.] So release the spoiler tags, I guess.

[His body is ready.]

[turntechtrainer]

[Welp. Dave claps John on the shoulder and drops the spoilers in.] It's the bars. Those terrible, bland, nutrition bars.

[ghostytrainer]

[There's nothing but stunned silence that drags on for at least a minute.]

[No.]

Are y-- no. No, not even you would be big enough a jackass to joke about something like this. Seriously? The whole time?

[turntechtrainer]

The whole time. [Isn't it just so awesome. Dave's flat look says it all, doesn't it?]

[ghostytrainer]

Eugh, I think I would rather it have been weird fake film stuff. [So. Gross.]

[There's a pause as John realizes something.]

...is it bad that that's what I am most disappointed about in all this?

[turntechtrainer]

You'd rather eat slime? You cannibal. [He shakes his head, no John it's totally cool to be disappointed by that the most. Let others fall apart about the rest.]

[ghostytrainer]

Hey, hey. This place does things to a man, my friend. Suddenly cannibalism seems like a completely viable and welcome option.

[turntechtrainer]

[He shifts slightly to the side as if he's treading near a beast that might bite him.] Damn I knew it. And I'm like a steak to you, aren't I? Shit, no.

A Buffet. Capable of feeding you for weeks. [For the record, that was a short joke.]

[ghostytrainer]

Nah. [John pinches at Dave's arm. This is completely pointless since there's not actually any meat there to appraise. Only wire and film and latex catsuit.]

Not nearly enough meat on your bones. Like there's not a whole lot of slime there, dude, and you know I have a big appetite.

[John that... that was the exact opposite of getting back at him for the short joke. That was actually kind of a compliment. Good job, dude.]

You'd be more like an appetizer if I ever end up going full slime cannibal mode.

[turntechtrainer]

Oh so I get to go first into your slime buffet. I can't decide if I should be honored or, telling you no. Don't guzzle the slime, man.

That's a bad road and there's no rehab here.

[ghostytrainer]

Definitely honored. It's basically like being in a movie, you either want to be first or last in the credit roll. Or in this case: on the menu.

...okay, wow we really need to stop talking about this. This is just kind of messed up now that I think about it.

[How did he manage to forget about the whole Ruana cannibalism thing?]

So to completely change the subject: if you see Rose, could you do me a favor and tell her I'm looking for her?

[turntechtrainer]

Yeah, sure. I'll tell her that her goober is seeking her out. [Let's not talk about eating each other in the bad way. Because that's gross and not at all enjoyable and oh yeah the cannibal lady.]

...

You going to be okay, dude? I mean. If you need me to come with you...

[ghostytrainer]

Me? Yeah, I'm fine! A-okay, dude, never better. Okay well...that's a stretch because we have all definitely been better but I'm perfectly fine. Promise. This wasn't really a surprise and I can't really be upset with the outcome because reasons so... [He trails off.]

But if you want to come with me, that's cool. I won't say no to company but you know Rose and I are just going to start making out once we find each other right? Totally going to get our wireframe mushy on and talk about how much we love each other. Super romantic.

[Do you really want to be there for that, Dave?]

[turntechtrainer]

[He recoils like the wicked witch probably did when someone showed her a bucket of water.] Ew! No! You go be lovebirds then. I'll track down anyone else we know and make sure we'll on planet sanity.
