Buddy: *doses Back Off Assuming It's A Dream*

Buddy: *tilts head in scared and upset curiousity*

have you played video games before?

Caine: Maybe I should make a better therapist AI, for the both of us.

*chuckles purely to ease tension on himself*

you know...maybe that isn’t a bad idea.

M!A: *collapses from exhaustion*

Buddy: EEK!

lol. serves you right

you’re fine, it’s jax i’m :(-ing at

Jax told me to say this and I don't know what it means

Ahem

The Game.

realtalk: i can’t wait for AI to get better to the point where you can have a legit conversation with your computer or phone just for the heck of it imagine how innocent they’d be, and like they don’t know what swearing is until you teach them then they go overboard with it like a child and hhHHHG

Caine: An unfinished graveyard map

uh-huh. why is that...um...

(They’ve never seen him as a human, but they can somehow tell that’s Kaufmo’s face. And since so many other people abstracted, then that means the rest of the faces are . . .)

(They really don’t want to say it out loud. They just hope Gangle hasn’t realized yet, especially since she knew more of these people than they did.)

Caine: *pops in, sees Buddy upset and eyes fill with rage*

WHO DID THIS?!?!

it was jax. he thought they were an npc WHICH THEY’RE NOT JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR

(They instinctively take a sort of protective stance over them, knowing how Caine can misunderstand things and what happened to Gummigoo.)

???: *gradually begins hyperventilating*

it’s okay, it’s all gonna be okay-

ragathaaa?? we, um, have a newbie here!

Gangle: It's okay, marching band class was hell so I can relate....

(They laugh a little bit.)

Th-that glitch thing happened to me and i made you die, i don’t want that to happen, hold me pleeeease.

*sobs into their arms*

-buddy anon

(They hold them tighter.)

it’s ok. that’s not gonna happen. i won’t let it.
