This is Flynn. Hi!

Comments

[cahooted]

That sounds awful, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you're safe.

[He has no qualms whatsoever with that sentiment.]

Anything I can do?

[mrcreamsicles]

kind of a weird question to ask
like yeah dude im sure you can fix it
youve probably got a book on necromancy in your collection somewhere right
ive got an ugly graduation gown that could double as a wizard robe in a pinch
maybe if we doodle a quadrant grid slash pentagram combo and chant the names of enough romcoms karkat will spontaneously revive from the dead to tell us how much our earth movies suck
im not expecting you to make it better for me
you cant really do anything more than i can which is wait and see if he vacates his morgue shelf anytime soon
i just didnt want to leave you in the dark is all
in case that was ongoing
hes pretty serious about his books
i guess if you want to help that bad you could tell me the current catalogue
cant hurt to have something to distract myself with

[cahooted]

[There's something... weirdly obvious in how Davesprite needs to get that out of his system, so Flynn can't even feel attacked or insulted. Instead he just attaches a link to the current list.]

We have a few new things. I liked the seagull novel if that's your kind of thing. It's very Ulysses meets Dali and some empty symbolism in between.

[mrcreamsicles]

[Davesprite's not in a good space of mind, to say the least. It helps that Flynn follows smoothly into the topic change.]

isnt dali the melting clocks guy
im going to skip that
how bout the rivals searching for the fountain of youth one

[cahooted]

Yeah, that's him. That seagull is going places.

The fountain? A bit predictable but fun. Lots of change of heart, wondering what you 'really' seek, that sort of thing.

[mrcreamsicles]

[Lots of change of heart, wondering what you 'really' seek. That absolutely doesn't have any relevance to his life in any fashion whatsoever, and the pause before his answer has nothing to do with it.]

i can live with predictable
might be easier to digest than some psychedelic bird journey

[cahooted]

That definitely.

[Flynn just sends it over for convenience's sake.]

I found it enjoyable. Some plots just don't get old if done right I think. There's a reason they're so popular.

[mrcreamsicles]

sometimes you just want the burger and not the filet mignon
anyway
thanks flynn
ill let you know if i find anything else while im out wandering here

[cahooted]

You're welcome. Hey, take care, okay?

And if you want to talk or something, just drop me a line.

Or five.

sorry Flynn he's bad at this

[mrcreamsicles]

look im not doing this for a handout like youre offering free samples at the sympathy cart
i dont know you
you dont know me
maybe youre trying to be nice and ok cool better that than a gratuitous dick about it but you dont owe me just because i passed on the news that hes passed on
ive been here way longer than you
im used to my friends dying like oh is it an even day time to check whos dead this time
karkats already kicked it twice
i got the admin to tell me where his body is so i can go there and wait it out
im fine

[He's emphatically not fine, but see again: they barely know each other, and also emotional expression is hard.]

aww Davesprite

[cahooted]

[Davesprite, that's a lot of text for saying 'I'm fine'. Very convincing, really.]

I'm sorry, I didn't meant to be condescending. I just thought maybe you wanted to talk.

I never get used to these things.

[mrcreamsicles]

[He's a master, truly. He runs his hand through his hair.]

its fine dude
you werent condescending
i just dont dump this out at near strangers
im gonna go now but ill let you know if i want another book later or whatever
stay safe

[cahooted]

Fair enough. To be honest, I probably wouldn't either.

Alright, you too. And sure, just let me know if something catches your eye.
