You all have gone insane.

Does that happen a lot here?

	By my logic, you're the batshit one. And it happens every couple months or so, actually. It gets easier to deal with, as the years go on. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	...And I'd come up with a scathing comeback, but I'm sort of reeling here that Tobias if that's you, holy shit you are old. Also why are you helping me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_birdboy908 2009-01-20 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not old, I'm ten years in the past. You're infantile. And I wouldn't call that help. Just making conversation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever. I may still be a kid but I'm not a fuckin' baby. Okay, so why are you doing that? In your old age do you go senile and forget that we hate each other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_birdboy908 2009-01-20 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	That's up for debate, especially considering the whining. No. What, can't I take advantage of your free time? You're getting information, I'm being amused, no one's getting hurt. Calm the hell down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	You're still closer to diaper age than me, old man. Oh sorry. Please excuse my ever present paranoia which I was forced to develop to survive- No, I'm calm. We can talk. What other gems of wisdom to you have to pass down to me, O wise hawkman from the future? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_birdboy908 2009-01-20 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	In human years. By both our counts, we're already dead. This is all just a very bad dream. I had forgotten just what a ray of sunshine you are. I think I hear the red phone ringing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's true. Rats only live three years. Whether or not Rachel killed me that last time, I probably only would've had a couple months left. You have what- twenty? How close are you to kicking the bucket, Tobias?

For me it's been a pretty good dream since getting here. I even have real, actual non-rat dreams when I sleep now.

I am what all of you made me. If you can't handle what I have to say, you probably shouldn't have started this little chat.

	When you play by the rules, you get favors thrown your way. I have as long as I need, Ratman. Good for you. Everyone deserves a reprieve. And don't fault me for trying to get a handle on the siutation. I've got what I needed to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah right. ...How? I didn't tell you shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_birdboy908 2009-01-20 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	I'm going to assume the 'how' was rhetorical, since I know just how much you love my vauge statements. And, one more time, I'll remind you- no violence, no deaths. And you won't find any yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	You can shove your obscure hawkisms right up your tailfeathers. No violence? Aw, you gonna take away my Xbox, Dad? Pfft, that deal was already made. I'm not killing anyone. Just because you guys are all old as shit all of a sudden doesn't mean I'm going back on my word. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. You really are here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	....Marco?! Yeah. I'm here. But we've established that like two weeks ago. Only you had depth perception then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	Different timestream, David. The younger me got here right off the bat. Guess I fell out somewhere in between, because I only just got here on Sunday, after spending ten years in an irradiated, bombed out hellhole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	As much as I still hate you, that's pretty badass. Did... something shitty happen to Earth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eh, it is what it is. Even I'd have preferred not to have been there, but you do what you have to do with the situation you've got.

Not ours. You ever play the Fallout games? If not: Picture a Jetsons-style futretech world, with all the weird 50's art deco touches. A pretty cool utopia, right? I mean besides the terrible art deco crap. Now imagine what would happen if all the countries in that world nuked each other to high hell.

I lived in what was left of the capitol.

	I guess you do. Yeah, I played the original. Didn't have opposable thumbs for the second one. But that actually sounds... really cool. Except for the whole losing an eye probably hurts thing. So you got stuck on a different universe then like this one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	Such is life. Pretty bad, but it was better than taking the shot in the head, where the guy was aiming for. That I did. Just me and a bunch of other people doing what we had to do to survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah well, at least you can still be a pirate. Maybe even a space pirate. And Tobias can be your parrot. ...That last part sounds kind of familiar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Don't think I'll be doing any pirating. Honestly? If this is more than temporary, I plan on enjoying not having to shoot people over anti-rad meds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	Aw that's a shame, would've been so perfect. Well hey, 'least you get a vacation. Maybe you can stock up while you're here and keep it on you and hope it comes through to the other side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Y'know, that's actually not a bad idea. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	Oh goddamnit I just helped you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	You still holding onto that, David? Let it go, man. We did bad stuff to you, I'll man up enough to admit that, but you did bad stuff to us too. Plus it's hard to look at you funny when I've done worse than you by several orders of magnitude. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	Marco. You're all old and this shit might all be way back in your past? But I'm still fifteen. I've only been human again for thirteen days and four hours. The last two years are still... vivid as hell. So yeah it's gonna be a fucking while before I feel like forgiveness. ...It's just hard to be a dick to you when you're being decent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-20 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Huh. Didn't think about that. Well, as long as I'm, and by that I mean this version of me, is here, I don't plan on being a dick. I let all that shit go a long time ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Of course you didn't. Well, from what I know this stuff is temporary. Don't know how long. But as long as it lasts, I won't be a dick to you either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imthecuteone 2009-01-21 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, lots of people have been telling me it's temporary. My luck is rarely that good, but hey, we'll see. Sounds like a good deal to me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Seems like it does. Good to see someone's the right age. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I am, unless I've gone completely bonkers and don't realize that I'm not. Which is always a possibility. ...This shit gets crazier by the minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	Well. You look the same age, if that's any consolation. For all I know though you were already bonkers. It's all rather dreadful. It's making me pretty pleased. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	Good, thanks. Yeah, people tell me that a lot. Well certain people anyway. ...You get some kind of sick pleasure out of other peoples' pain? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	Pain? No. But Misery? That's a bit different. It's my job, see. My raison d'être, if you will. Goddess of Misery and Woe, Distress and Suffering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Got it. You would've had a field day with me back in my universe. Well, with my whole planet really. Goddess of Misery and Woe, etc. You have a nickname? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Earth's always been good to me, even after y'all went monotheistic. Name's Oizys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I bet the misery factor doesn't change much between universes hm? Nice name, if I'm pronouncing it right. I'm David. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	Life seems to suck no matter where you go. I'm kind of lucky that way. Was a time once when I had to work at it, but I've got to say, humans are doing all the work themselves these days. Gives me nothing to do but enjoy it. And that you. Well met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	True. We had enough of our own created problems even without all the aliens. Pretty sure it was all about really old grudges. Yeah uh.. well met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	Aliens? Seriously? Man, all the cool shit happens in the other universes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, aliens. Secret invasion of Earth. Like bodysnatchers or some shit. Crawled into your head and controlled your mind. I hated it, which means you would've loved it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	It sounds like it'd be amusing at first, but overall just troublesome. Not to be all whatever, but if Aliens invade the earth and take over I kind? Not much for a god to do, really. You make it sound like the only things I like are death and destruction for others. I like normal things just as much as the next person, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	They didn't want us dead, they just wanted us as slaves. Therefore, miserable. Thought you'd be happy about that. Sorry. Don't mean to imply you're one-dimensional or anything. Um. What kind of normal stuff do you like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Ahh... well, that could be a plus, then, I guess. there were people back home who assumed we were aliens, but they were mostly regarded as crackpots. I don't believe I'm justifying my existence to a teenager. I don't know. Same shit as anyone else. Drinking. Dancing. Partying. Kittens and unicorns and epic love poetry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	What, like in Stargate? I'd make fun of them for believing in a movie but... well. My opinion on that has changed. Aw. You're kind of a moody goddess, huh Oizys? Kittens and unicorns and epic love poetry. Really. That's just too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-20 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Never saw Stargate, but someone built those pyramids, right? And no. Not really. Well. Kittens are kind of cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-20 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	It's a good movie. The pyramids were a dock for larger, also pyramid-shaped spaceships in it. Fuck, anything's plausible. Yeah, cats are alright. I used to have a big fat tabby named Megadeth. He was a kitten once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-01-21 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Megadeth? Really? Yeah, you're alright, kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	traitorousrat 2009-01-21 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Fuck yeah. \m/ (Reply to this) (Parent)
