[Dragon Mail: Ravindra Savarna]

[assassinot]

Hey. I know everything got a little weird for a second there. I haven't heard from Missie at all, even now. So everything's really gone, I suppose.

Are you doing okay? [YOU DIDN'T GO BACK TO YOUR DUMB BOYFRIEND DID YOU she can't ask that.]

Did you ever make that list?

Do you even really need it?

Comments

[paladont]

But I'm not nervous with you either, because I'm not worried about how you'll react.

[assassinot]

That sounds like it could be important.

[paladont]

[not sure how it possibly could be] I already know you won't hurt me if you get upset.

[assassinot]

[Gosh Ravindra this is why we have the SMITING PLAN obviously problems solved. (no vati stop)]

[oh wait]

Hurt how?

[paladont]

However.

There's a lot of ways to hurt someone when they disagree with you.

[see: lessons learned from shitty parenting]

[assassinot]

[O-oh. Now she understands.]

Not everyone's going to be like that.

[...]

He didn't really exist, did he?

[paladont]

No. He didn't.

He wasn't real, but the memories are.

[assassinot]

[... this does change some things...]

Who even thinks a person like that up?

Was it Missie? Is that how this works?

But she's so...

[paladont]

I think it was Heimdall, but if you remember him too, then Missie has some blame.

[assassinot]

That's hard to imagine.
[Then again, it's hard to imagine Missie as not somehow being a terrible secret witch ghost, too. How else would she pull this off?]

[(This is possibly by design. Heehee, being a witch ghost.)]

But they picked us, not him. [pentaps] And they made him to make us like we are?

This is stupid. They must have all the answers.

We should ask them instead. It'd be easier.

[paladont]

What do you mean, ask them?

[VATI NO DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THEY'RE TERRIBLE?!?!]

[assassinot]

[OBLIVIOUS TO YOUR ANGRY FEELINGS]

Dragon mail works, doesn't it? It's what Missie used.

[paladont]

What would you even ask them?

[assassinot]

Think about it. If they put everything together, they have to know our lives inside and out. You said you wanted to change. They could have changed us. They must know how.

Missie said she'd miss me. I bet we can use that.

They probably know who our real friends are, too. How long have you know about this? Think of all the help we could be getting! Do you think they know what's going to happen? We should ask about the future just in case.

And maybe make sure there aren't any other nasty surprises. What if I'm allergic to shell fish?

[paladont]

[VATI NO THIS IDEA IS THE DUMBEST!!!!]

But [but he hates heimdall!!!!]

You're really going to ask her?

[assassinot]

I don't need to change. I'm amazing.

[Hm. "Dear Missie; Did you make me with any painting talent"...]

But I don't see why not. The worst we'll get is some incomprehensible babble with hearts all over it.

[paladont]

You aren't really telling me to write to Heimdall for help.

[assassinot]

Are you afraid he'll get upset?

[paladont]

No, but he's so

[what are words!!!]

Heimdall.


The first time I talked to him he said I was 'like a son' and didn't think I would be angry about that.

[assassinot]

So he's an idiot.

That makes it easier, right?

[RAVINDRA WE HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE ADVANTAGE

...

Wait how is that even possible]

[paladont]

Yes, he's an idiot.

[Or he's just predisposed toward interpreting everything Heimdall does as a mark against him. Whichever.]

What would I even say to him?

[assassinot]

Makes sense. Missie's an idiot.


Hm. How about...

"Hey dad [There's a arrow note here: 'v it's sarcasm!'] I'm afraid of people because my father was an idiot. ['v WHICH ONE, HE WONDERS' Vati is a genius omg] Why does something as atrociously stupid as that happen to people?

Love Ravi [drawing of a skull]"

[paladont]

... Vati.

[assassinot]

You remove the little notes, obviously.

[paladont]

That's not the problem with it.
