JANE: Well, I'll sound like quite the dunce when I tell you the truth, which is that I was looking for my phone!
ROXY: lets see ok well shit now im the 1 in the position of private investigatort
ROXY: let us exanine the cold hard facts.............
ROXY: janey lookin 4 her phone..all gettin drunk n clippin into my void+reality=voidality...
ROXY: i dedeuce it must be cuz ur in ur office tryin 2 get ur lifeline/savepoint aka cell phone rdy so u can go into the dudgeons of infinite triviality
JANE: Dungeons of infinite triviality? Is that what you're calling the land of the dead?
ROXY: yea like i said dudgeons of infinite triviality
JANE: Is that... begging pardon here, but is that not where we are? This IS the void, right?
ROXY: uhhh no janey i think this is a differnt void
JANE: Oh. A different void. Of course! How foolish could I possibly be, to not have assumed that is a different void selected among the unbounded set of voids that there are.
ROXY: yah this is like VOID void
ROXY: this is my rogue void that i go to
ROXY: darkwater palace of thought n reflection black dreaming canvas smoky glass mirror etc
ROXY: basipcally if i am thinkin abt somethin or have problem i come here n puzzle it out
ROXY: n eventually the answers just leap out
ROXY: fully formed
JANE: :o
ROXY: whereas the void left behind by sburb isnt a true void its just the big plot hole of double death n blank eyed no-hope ghosties
ROXY: thats why it is how it is now
ROXY: the dark misty city of frightening fauna
ROXY: the dead mall as the sleep of reason that has hella monsters emerging
ROXY: deep dark dudgeons
JANE: (Dungeons!!)
ROXY: (mwhaha sryyy but u literally will NEVER stop my from saying dudgeons >:))
ROXY: no but im dead serious
ROXY: its a cursed place that ur fuckin around in jane
ROXY: some real limineal spaces from the scaryest ass corner of the back roobs aka UNSETTLING CITY
ROXY: but im not gonna stop u cuz ur my best bitch n i know u can handle ur shit
ROXY: just promise me jane
ROXY: promise me youll keep ur wimzical weapon at the rly for when shit gets real
JANE: At the really?
ROXY: shit *rdy
JANE: Ah. Understood.
JANE: I'm... usually never without it! But I mean, I'm not there to impale void goblins or what have you. The lives I save are--
ROXY: rendered up by ur lifey magic and not ur killy melee attacks i get it!! UGH u stopped bein much of a tite ass but ur still so upright
ROXY: frickin not so tite ass uprite ass
JANE: Claimed wholly and unreservedly as a compliment! ;B
JANE: Anyway, that's far too much about me and not enough about you.
JANE: You said you come here to think about things?!
ROXY: oh
ROXY: um
ROXY: idk
ROXY: i dont wanna worry u w/ it
JANE: I'd rather use my worry for your sake than waste it on some other bullshit.
ROXY: ty
ROXY: its just
ROXY: callie
JANE: What about our dear, sweet friend? :(
ROXY: shes got weird hard to explain sads
ROXY: workin all the time these days
ROXY: talkin 2 me n bein sweet but i kno she aint rly there
ROXY: soz i was thinkin abt how to cheer the girl whose cheered me so much
ROXY: and also
ROXY: ugh idk
JANE: And also?
ROXY: some weird voidey stuff ive been noticind thats off
ROXY: theres shit thats started not workin so properly lately
JANE: Could you give me an example?
ROXY: basic mehchanics of our narrative reality
ROXY: like object ambiguity
ROXY: have u seen this shit
JANE: Like when my phone cords and folded notes turn to guns and cause funny problems?
ROXY: yea thats exactly it
ROXY: have u been noticin its only guns lately??
ROXY: like literally almost always guns and nothin else??
JANE: Huh... Come to think of it, you're right. I didn't think too much of it since the hole that got blown in my face healed before I had time to feel it.
ROXY: n do you see how this could be a problem for ppl who arent monstergods like us truly??
JANE: Zounds...
JANE: You're right!
JANE: Normally it's very dangerous to have things turning into a bunch of guns all around you!
ROXY: omg exaaa a a actlyyy
ROXY: so thats some shit i got to figure out leave it up to the rogue've void as per ush
JANE: I don't believe I can furnish any insight into the nature of this baffling and concerning reality quirk, but I do think I could circle back and ask you a bit more about the Callie sitch.
ROXY: (usin slang like it aint no thang oh janey wow <3 )
JANE: ( <3 I'm growing all the time.)
JANE: Callie... Could it be that her dreaded old problems are resurfacing? Does she still think herself ugly and unlovable, despite all proof to the contrary? Like her smoking hot G.F.?
ROXY: mmm yeah no its definitely at least half that
ROXY: i know my callie wants to be beautiful in the way that beautiful means somethin to her, even if shes alrdy beautiful 2 me
ROXY: like i was telling you
ROXY: were only ever intimate in complete darkness
ROXY: n its like
ROXY: its like she has no confidence in her gloved hands n veiled body to make me feel happy
ROXY: like shes desperately relyin on her words n narratives alone to keep me entertained + in love w her
ROXY: that shit freaking sucks + is so unnecessary for her bro i want her to kno im so ride or die
JANE: You are so ride or die! Not to mention, a thoughtful, supportive girlfriend.
ROXY: well thank u
ROXY: and rly i dont think thats her only probbie
ROXY: i think shes kinda aimless
ROXY: royal historians a sweet gig but idk
ROXY: deep down i think she feels like she was meant for more than sittin in a carapacian office and makin a canon of fan theories abt all of history
JANE: Chekhov's Wand never went off, did it?
ROXY: not 4 her
JANE: That's so messed up! I wish she'd said something!
JANE: I could have sat her down and told her. "Callie! The future is still unwritten! If you find yourself in the doldrums, it is only a matter of time before the wind returns to your sails!"
JANE: Or some shit.
ROXY: haha could u maybe tell her that? it wont fix her 'iwanna rip my own skin off and jump out body hate blues' but like
ROXY: she still extremely loves/respects u and i think it might perk her up to hear from u since its been a lil bit
JANE: You're right. I'll reach out to her once I have my phone.
JANE: Sigh... If only I could help two Calliopes in one day!! :(
ROXY: yea
ROXY: but... jane
ROXY: idk if that other callies gonna go with you
ROXY: i know my callie
ROXY: n if she went through a billion years nitemare just to get blown up in a ending plotsplosion she would
ROXY: sigh
ROXY: prob not wanna come back
ROXY: n i dont think shes gonna wanna come back with u even though i rly rly wish with all my heart that we could save her :(
ROXY: ive talked to callie about this too!! she agrees!!
JANE: Of course, Roxy.
JANE: Everyone's telling me this for my own good.
JANE: When Calliope, the Ascended Muse version, listens to my entreaty, she will surely turn it down. This, I will accept gracefully.
JANE: What I could never accept,
JANE: Is not trying.
ROXY: dambit jane when tf did u get all cool and awesome on me errrrnp answer is ALWAYS
ROXY: anyway linsen ive got some more voidthinkin about the gun problem to do and ull be wakin up soon
