just finished cleaning the blood off my kitchen floor, so i'm alright
blood from the dog, not me
and not toast. the delivery dogs [ Wow, he is feeling awkward today. It's a Tuesday, those are always terrible, even without blood moons that don't shift all day. ]
i hope it's not actually theirs either. just whatever's all around here now [ It's a bad day when 'the delivery dogs are just covered in ambient blood' is your best option. ]
i haven't. but i plan on trying i don't know if i'd trust this place that it's going to be helpful, but if the dogs are on our side...maybe it will be
it's gotta be someone's right? unless blood can just be a thing like water, i guess that's possible
yeahhh point reminds me of puzzles my brother and i would run into when we were dungeon crawling half the time those were traps too but we just blazed through anyways sometimes the only way to go is forward right?
that's surprisingly positive. [ Oh no, Will's doing the uncool parent thing where they point out when your behavior changes. Or their perceptions of it, anyway. ] but i agree. i'm going to be working on mine. if i find out it's safe to open, i can help you with yours?
i don't remember you mentioning a brother before.

[That is absolutely the uncoolest parent thing a parent can do!!]
no it isn't it's literal sometimes the dungeons were made so you could literally only go forward, not backward or sideways
[He is very intent on not being positive, Will.]
yeah sure i'll probably just break mine on my own
[See? No positivity here.]
oh yup two adoptive older brothers, Jake and Jermaine when mom and dad died i went and lived with Jake Jermaine did his own thing i think he paints now i've kind of got two younger brothers too BMO and NEPTR they're robots kind of? BMO was made in a factory by some old human to love his son then he never had a son and i made NEPTR to prank Jake Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot
sounds like a metaphor, then. [ This is what bantering's supposed to actually be, right? Using snark for good instead of sassing coworkers? Maybe. ]
who knows, breaking it might end up being the best option. i'll let you know when i get mine open. [ Will's trying a new tactic where he ignores at least some of the negative commentary's implications. They'll see how that goes. ]
you made a robot? [ Fern is an engineer?? Is this a magic thing? ]
[He... never considered that breaking it might be a good thing.]
sort of i stuck a bunch of junk on an old microwave i was 12 at the time so i had no clue what i was doing even though i was sure it would make a real thing then the microwave got struck by lightning
[He managed to Frankenstein a microwave to life, somehow.]
and i had him get hit by more magic lightning so he'd be fully powered he was evil for a while but now he's cool
i mean what you just described sounds like a metaphor. for life. you can't go backwards, just forward.
[ Will's still not completely convinced that the cryptexes won't end up being elaborate tricks, so if it turns out it's full of Magical Cursed Powder or something, he'll personally go ahead and toss Fern's into the new blood ocean. Just to be safe.
Huh. Wow. Is now a bad time to point out that that robot gaining sentience out of nothing and then going from evil to good sounds a lot like a certain plant-based being Will's met in Deerington? Metaphors everywhere. ]

hello grass son
blood from the dog, not me

did yours bring you a puzzle, too?
this month is nonstop concern
... not that it's good it's theirs
[Poor dogs.]
uh yeah
did you figure yours out
i haven't touched mine yet
seems like a trap
the real question tho: are the dogs ok
i haven't. but i plan on trying
i don't know if i'd trust this place that it's going to be helpful, but if the dogs are on our side...maybe it will be
it's the most important question
unless blood can just be a thing like water, i guess that's possible

BMO and NEPTR

what made him stop being evil?
no subject
... it isn't really a metaphor in that case
[He's actually going to be good and hold off on trying to solve his until Will does. In the meantime, though, he's going to laze around and text him.
There's a reason he likes NEPTR the best.]
uhhhhh geez i don't really remember
i think he wanted to do pranks with me more than be evil with Ice King?
no subject
[ That's maybe a generous reading of 'doing pranks together', but hey. ]
no subject
maybe Finn was
[He'll... give Will that much]
