Do I want to ask what an F-Calendar is? I feel a little scared to, but I'm also morbidly curious- so.

Welcome to having a social life, I guess? It's weird, I don't get it either.

[hallucinogem]

Relax, it just stands for Fluid.
Some of the tech bros I ran into used that kind of language for their Scrolls back home and I just wanted to say it.
I figure a guy who goes by V wouldn't have a problem with someone trying to talk cool. ;)

[droptheious]

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. And yes, very funny, you have me pegged completely. You sure got MY number.

[hallucinogem]

So does Ruby know that you call yourself V? Does she know that she's dating such an unquestionably cool guy?

[droptheious]

I may have mentioned it once or twice. The V thing. She absolutely does not think she's dating a cool guy. Feel free to ask her. You owe me a soda if she uses the word "scraggly".

[hallucinogem]

Ha. Yeah, that sounds right.
So not like I'm asking for a reason or anything, but you two are happy together?
Finding some kind of relationship in the middle of all this weird garbage that keeps happening to everyone?

[droptheious]

I mean, yeah? She makes me really happy. Happier than I've been in years if I'm gonna be honest. I hope I do the same for her. I never really expected to find anyone for me full stop. Much less in this place. Life can surprise you sometimes.

No reason, huh?

[hallucinogem]

No reason as far as you're ever gonna know about.
So you think it's worth it? In the end. Even if it gives you someone else you need to worry about.

[droptheious]

I'm not going to pry. People are entilted to their secrets.
I'd like to think so. I mean, yeah, I worry about her a lot- because she's Ruby and she's always going to dive headlong into danger regardless of her survival chances. But the alternative is not being with her - and missing out on that particular emotional rollercoaster would be considerably worse- and that includes the worry, by the way, all part and parcel. I guess you just have to decide if you want to take the chance on allowing someone to make you feel like that or not.

[hallucinogem]

You'd rather tie yourself to someone who lives in a constant whirlwind of emotion than the alternative.
You'd rather take risks all day every day, big ones, risks that might end up with you looking at a body in the ground... instead of never sharing it with anybody at all.

I think I get it.

It doesn't sound that bad.

[droptheious]

You've got it in one! Yup. That's pretty much how it goes, I think. Because even if those big mistakes will end up probably breaking your heart one day down the line, it's better than never letting anyone get near your heart at all.

Or something.

So this is still a big hypothetical question, huh? Because it's sounding very much not hypothetical, is all.

[hallucinogem]

...Listen, V.
It's hypothetical and it'll stay hypothetical until I work up the courage to actually do something about it.
I could make it un-hypothetical, but I really don't think you'd like it right now.

1/2

[droptheious]

Hey, that's fine. I'm not gonna pry. You're entitled to your secrecy. I don't get why I wouldn't like it, though.

2/2

[droptheious]

It's not Ruby, is it?

[hallucinogem]

It is NOT Ruby.
It's definitely not Ruby.
Oh my gods.
No, no, I'm. Not.
No. Gods.
Breaking you two up would be, like, exactly the opposite of everything we were just talking about.

It's still someone from Remnant, though. If you have to guess at it.

[droptheious]

Hey, I don't know. That's the only one I might be a little upset about. Probably not break up upset, but still.

I'll pass on the guessing game. I don't think I know them well enough to even try. Believe it or not, you're the person from Remnant I speak to the most after Ruby. Take from that what you will.

[hallucinogem]

Wow.
Well, uh. It's an honor, I'm pretty sure. You're definitely one of the only people NOT from Remnant that I talk to at all around here.
At least, of the people who actually know who I am.
Which I guess means I trust you? Weird and gross.
Anyway, maybe when this whole mystery drops and I stop being a coward, you'll get to have more conversations with at least one other Remnant person.

[droptheious]

Wow, you really could have picked way better than me out of everyone here in town. I'm pretty much bottom-of-the-barrel company. Love yourself a little more, M.
That is so weird and gross. I feel sad for you.
I guess I'll have to wait and see then. Good luck, regardless.
