you can have both you know theyre still metal. you still hit with them. theyre not less offensive because they can protect you too stop sounding allergic to some fucking defense after everything we just talked about
[ Is he being overly sensitive? Maybe even misreading his dad? Sure is!! ]
[There's pause before Johnny responds to that. A slight recoil from the sudden tone Robby takes on. But... He gets it. And he knows he can't just back down here either.]
I didn't mean it like that. I'll use 'em and I'm sure I can use them offensively too. And I want to protect myself. I'm just saying I might swap them out for something that's more me when I do.
[ It takes Robby a moment to reply. It did get him worked up, the thought of his dad's stubbornness rearing its head. He doesn't even want to acknowledge he jumped to conclusions, but: ]
[ He doesn't know if he should be thanked for that last part, when he isn't sure how capable of not giving up he is. This is scary, as humiliating of a reaction that is: because the unknown regarding his dad's life scares him. It scares him to think about him dying again, whatever the reason. Their relationship was delicate before this aspect was thrown into it.
(Tory told him once about telling his dad he loved him, and he remembers it now, staring at the omni. But he can't. Is this love? It just feels like fear.)
Robby doesn't give any following text immediately, but give him about four or five minutes. ]
its ok uh before i found out everything i offered to help peter deal with paimon. i chatted with paimon before peter told me about it and he liked me. and peter has trouble feeling connected. like a person? because of the demon. but hes been trying to learn how to live with it more and i said i would help to make it calm down if it ever acts up i havent seen it since i found out about what happened. but i spoke with peter and i want to keep helping him
[ It's a block of text, maybe, but it's the only way he can get it out, slowly as he does. There's a lot there he's scared about too, but bottles aren't made to be empty. ]
Yeah. It took me awhile to kind of figure that out. I just saw the kid freakin' out and being a mess. Then I saw the times when the king- or Paimon showed up. Just thought it was corruption or weird shit going on with him. Either way I tried to get back at him for the whole death thing awhile back and got talked out of it.
Found out later on that things were more complicated. I've kind of had a few little talks with the both of them. But not really about all that.
Watch yourself around the whole demon guy. He seems like the more unstable of the two. But I think trying to help the guy isn't bad idea either.
Look. I'm glad you came to talk to me about this. I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. Or to make you worry more or have it mess up things with people you liked here.
It doesn't change how long it took, or that I wasn't trying to hide it from you. But I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner and that you found out the way you did.
Her name's Willow. She's magic or some shit like Luna. A bit easier to deal with too.
Those are the biggest things. Some people get all pissy that I threw a bunch of bears at my students back when I was holding my tournament. But some bitch said the other teacher could fight a bear. So I was trying to prepare them what ever could get thrown at them.
...And I shit in a dude's clock once because he was an asshole.
But those are smaller than just about everything else.
So all these portals showed up that spit out things from different worlds. I found one that had a bunch of bears. So I brought my students. It wasn't about what we were fighting. They were going to be fighting each other in the tournament. Look- You don't train people to fight someone who can take on a bear by having them fight things that aren't bears. It was authentic.
Look- I met a girl who was going through some shit. I thought the dude was being like weird and awful to her. He was offering free fighting lessons and shit- so I showed up for it. Went through the training thing and there was a little reception at the end in his weird mansion. I decided to stick it to him by doing that. He has a weird obsession with clocks so it made sense at the time.
Pretty sure he wasn't all that bad of a dude in the long run. The chick kind of had a weird victim complex and started making the same cries about me not long after.
[ Robby doesn't really want to be thinking about how his dad's mind works right now (if he did, he'd think he just doesn't know how bad the stink bombs can be here). He's not in the mood for shitting contests, here. ]
[ He could just text 'okay' for the fiftieth time, but Robby stops for a moment. It feels weird--how does one close off from a conversation like this? He's really been avoiding having to do so (or just let it die off in this weird world about shitting in clocks).
But: ]
ill tell you if anything happens to me if you do the same but if thats it for now then fine thanks for telling me
