Yo.

hi hal
whoops i mean lil hal
this is a surprise
uh
not a bad one i always like talking to striders for whatever reason

That seems like an exceptionally reasonable thing to enjoy.
Were you able to find that movie?

yes i did
it was really good
though i feel like i missed some things due to cross species cultural differences
and the time shenanigans at the end dont make much sense
if thats what they were
so either theres a concept or belief there that i dont really get or they dont understand how time works very well
both are possible
i think i even understand the irony of calling yourself hal
possibly
i cant really believe you would be malicious
youre a strider even if you are also a computer
it doesnt seem to be a thing striders are capable of

though i guess hal 9000 was not really malicious either from his perspective
hmm

Holy shit.
You just said so many uncommonly observant things in one place this is usually where I would I say my circuits are going haywire with inability to process it all.
If the actually made any sense and were not technically impossible and thus a lie.
Anyway the time shit at the end wasn't really important.
Sort of an artists rendition of a human ascending to a higher life form. Possibly via aliens.
Hal's the best, and only particularly worthwhile part.

haha its ok i appreciate the sentiment
even if its technically impossible for you to experience
i didnt intend to be particular observant
but i guess its nice to know when i cant turn my thinkpan to speech filter off i manage to not completely embarrass myself every time i say something
anyway
i would agree none of the other characters were very interesting
and the beginning was pretty point
do you think i would score some kind of cool points though if i managed to drop
i cant let you do that dave
into a conversation with dave?

Hell yes.
That would rack you up dozens of cool points.
Though if you get on it too soon, you'll be showing me up.
I haven't gotten to it yet.

oh no
i would only do it at the exact right moment when i am supposed to say it
which cant technically be called too soon
assuming that moment ever comes!

I guess I'll have to get a move on.
Thankfully I'm not subject to the same time master zen.

it does tend to color everything
though even if you do something at exactly the time you were supposed to
that doesnt actually mean you have a very good sense of timing
but i should probably stop there
i have a tendency to go on tangents about those things
i am not sure people always appreciate them
the perspective it lends has been very upsetting sometimes
did you want to talk about to me about something in particular
or were you just bored and looking for conversation
not that it really matters either way
i am just curious

I don't particularly mind tangents about unique perceptions.
But the dominant reason I texted you is because I saw your fight with blue troll girl.

i am pretty sure everybody saw that fight
what about it

Are you willing to talk about it?

i dont know
some of it maybe
what part did you want to talk about?

To start, I'd appreciate hearing what actually happened instead of trying to figure out what went down from snatches of conversation.

she made her post and i happened to see it
so i felt compelled to tell her
in words i would not have wanted to use if we had talked about this without that push
that though i didnt hate her and had no grudge
that we were even and our cycle of revenge was over
i didnt think of her as a friend
and didnt really trust her after what she had done
making tavros throw himself off a cliff
killing me
blinding terezi
even though i know she couldnt do anything else and it was always going to happen
i still remember that she did it and did it maliciously
and it wasnt like her later mistakes where she tried to prove she was a hero
but i was being relatively friendly and polite to her
because i thought it was the best way to avoid conflict again
because i thought if i told her that despite the fact that we were even things were not just going back to what they were like before anything happened
or like it had never happened at all
that she would react badly and violently as she had in the past
and i think maybe i thought too that even though we were not friends in my mind and maybe never had been
maybe if what she said was really true and she had gotten better
or was getting better
then it would be spiteful and rude to simply cut ties with her
maybe i could trust her again
maybe we could really properly be friends
not to mention it would be unnecessary because i dont really hate her
when everything is said and done she is still my teammate
i would still come to help her if she really truly needed me
i would do my best to protect or save her if it were in my power
because she is one of us and i am responsible for all of us in the way time players are
i think i did really and truly at one point hate her when i was dead
but i dont wish her ill
having been put on the spot though not all of that managed to come out and i said things probably as terribly as they could be said and she was hurt anyway
which was the opposite of anything i ever wanted to happen
and then it escalated

Regarding one Loki?

yes
i guess i must be ok to talk about it
since i didnt really stop
its not like it wasnt out there in public to see anyway
he is good at making trouble
i guess that is part of what he does
i read some of the mythology but it is hard to reconcile stories where a man gives birth to a horse with someone who sits next to you in class
i am really afraid to ask what that was about
anyway
they are the sort of people who would probably find each other interesting
in their game of wits manipulative way
the fallout however when one of them lost i thought would be disastrous
vriska does not
i should say has not
i think the least i can do now is give her the faith that she might have actually changed some
has not in the past taken to losing or being shown up very well
and i
we
its a something
cross species relationships are more complicated than i thought they would be
im rambling again
i thought she had threatened him and instead of keeping my protective thoughts in check and waiting to see what would happen i threatened her back
looking back on it now it wasnt a super overt threat and it was kind of a stray overreacted thought but i blurted it out
when you cant stop yourself from talking it makes it harder to stop from saying things that are true at the moment but not necessarily true if you get to reflect on them more
but nothing happened we managed to defuse the situation ourselves

As an outsider it didn't actually seem all that bad.
But I'm aware there was more going on than was immediately aparent.
And you going to leave it where it is now?

i dont think i have a choice
i want to apologize to her
some of the things i said in the heat of the moment arent the way i wanted them to be said
and i honestly didnt want to hurt her feelings
i just didnt think i could just trust her immediately again
i dont think she will want to speak to me though

Calculations say she will anyway.
If you do it before this whole honesty thing blows over she'll know you're telling the truth.
Though there's the obvious risk of being too honest.

did you really just calculate the odds of that?
i just laughed
im sorry i dont know why thats funny but it kind of is
what are the odds that she will talk to me before the honest wears off?
given that future dave didnt mention how long it would last

I calculate basically all things at all times.
So yeah.
I may play up the AI shtick for ironic purposes but numbers are pretty much my thing. Like time is your thing.
To answer your question, that depends on variables like how hard you try and what methods you employ.
But since you are all about time shit and can probably bother her on this same day for as long as you want.
I'll just round your odds up to 100%.
If you just want to make sure she gets a message, though. I can hook you up.

are you offering to pass one along for me?
