Fair enough. Not really a surprise.

[ Though she knows Connor primarily through shitposting, this is still a little concerning. It's also something to focus on besides herself because, y'know, everyone in the cave is so good at coping with trauma. ]

'fuck' is an understatement
what the absolute fuck
what the ever loving fuck

and even though I think I know the answer
you gonna be alright, dude?

private;

[iustitiae]

i don't really have much of an option

private;

[hasitsthorns]

well i'd argue that it's totally okay to not be alright but
then i'd be a huge hypocrite

[ What else is new. ]

private

So I assume it was your double I encountered then.

[iustitiae]

That's correct. Before he murdered me.

text

[therewillbeorder]

And you remember everything your double did?

[save_theworld]

You died too?

[Oh, that's just depressing.]

[iustitiae]

Guess it's a club

text;

[save_theworld]

Guess so. Sorry.

Are you okay?

[unitas]

[ All right, so Sharon doesn't like Connor that much but... ]

People are pretty quick to catch on when the gods are putting us through the ringer. [ Which is Sharon's way of saying: bro, none of that was you despite it being you. He doesn't need to explain anything to anyone; nobody does. ]

[iustitiae]

The double didn't say anything that wasn't true.

[unitas]

So?

It wasn't you. What it said doesn't matter. [ One of the deities doubled them up and then sicced them on one another, intent on ruining their originals one way or another. She's lucky she gutted hers early on (she's been her own doppelganger before and she's done with that particularly vicious game). ]

You're still just a jackass, at least to me. [ That's meant to be... comforting? Or something. Ugh. Whatever. ]

[devilsavocado]

I owe you an apology, Connor.

private;

[iustitiae]

[damn people are really respectful of his privacy here what the fuck is this]

No you don't.

[devilsavocado]

[ After that public spectacle what did u expect buddy ]

I do.

I'd understand if you'd rather not talk to me right now. But I want to apologize in person.

We need to talk.
