AA: people tend not to like the thought of fighting A bAttle they cAn't win, After All <

AA: the AlterniAn thief hAd A messAge for me to pAss on to you <

AA: would you like to heAr it? <

You can't believe you let yourself forget how infuriating it can be to interact with AA. Despite that, though, she's still your friend, and you know she hasn't really done anything wrong -- although the fact that getting mad at her would be unfair is usually what frustrates you the most. She knows a lot of things, and she's got a ridiculous amount of irons in the fire. Right now, you don't even have a fire to put irons in! If you can't be of any use to yourself, you might as well see if you can be of use to her.

UU: Is there anything you need help with? Such important endeavors as the ones you partake in might be easier to stomach with a helping hand.
AA: thAt's A reAlly nice offer <
AA: i don't need much more right now, though <
AA: if you wAnt to help, could you mAybe wArn the other humans for me? <
AA: i cAn tAke cAre of the trolls And such <
AA: And my brother... <
AA: wherever he is... <
AA: ... cAn honestly get fucked, but if he comes bAck, i'll wArn him, too <
UU: Okay.
UU: Wait. What am I supposed to warn them about?
AA: don't you remember? <
AA: i sAid things were going to get better <
UU: If they're going to get better, why do I have to "warn" them? I know you know word connotations, and I know you're very picky about word choice.
UU: Why would improvement call for a warning?
AA: it'll stArtle them if they don't know Anything <
AA: i don't wAnt Anyone under the impression thAt things are getting worse <
AA: things Are getting better, but something A little rAttling mAy hAppen soon <
AA: no cAuse for AlArm, i'd say, but cAuse for a wArning <
UU: Uh huh.
UU: I'll tell them.
UU: Do I need to tell ALL the humans, or are some of them covered?
AA: your pre-scrAtch counterpArt hAs AlreAdy Alerted her friends <
UU: Great. I'll get to it.
UU: Be seeing you. :P
AA: thAnks <
AA: i won't let you down on my end <
AA: 'til lAter <

Well, you'd better get to it as soon as possible. Your laid-back packrat of a pal is the easier of the two others to talk to, so you figure you'll tell her first.

uninvitedUnbalance [UU] began pestering tenaciousUnderachiever [TU].

UU: What's up, my good chum?
TU: uhhhhh idk, my pally pal
TU: rn i'm just chilling
TU: eating the best updog i've ever made, hbu
UU: I'm not dead yet, so that's something.
UU: What's updog?
TU: ROFL
UU: ???
TU: NOT MUCH WHAT'S UP WITH YOU
TU: LOLLLLLLL
UU: What?
UU: Oh.
UU: OH.
UU: Shit on a stick, I've been bamboozled.
UU: And by the likes of you, no less.
TU: U SURE HAVE LOL
TU: but was there smth u wanted to talk about
TU: i'm dtt
UU: DTT?
TU: down 2 talk
TU: idk, i might've made that one up
UU: You do seem to have a talent for that.
UU: Anyway, there WAS something I wanted to talk about!
UU: Well.
UU: It's actually more like something AA told me to tell you.
TU: AA or aa
UU: AA, with capital letters. Who else would it be? I'm the one who actually utilizes the shift key.
UU: I wouldn't use it if I were talking about aa.
TU: jees, my b
TU: is it weird tht i'm worrying abt lowercase aa, tho
TU: like, hoping he's ok & i'll c him or hear from him again
UU: Do you want an honest answer?
TU: always always
TU: u kno me reb
UU: It's weird. Bordering on ridiculous.
TU: but y
TU: don't make fun of me, but i rly felt we bonded before he ran away
TU: we *got* each other
UU: I can see that, a little, but still.
UU: His last message to us all made it pretty damn clear that he was ditching us indefinitely.
UU: AA can't find him. That means wherever he is, he's far gone.
TU: yeaaah, but yanno
TU: when he was here, he *was* nice
UU: True, he wasn't bad.
TU: but what did u want 2 say
TU: sry for sidetracking
TU: i'm just sad
UU: At this point in our session, who ISN'T sad about something or another?
UU: Anyway. AA wanted me to warn you.
TU: oh man, a warning from AA
TU: lay it on me
TU: what's it abt this time
UU: It's good news, actually! I was told to give it to you in warning form because it'd be "startling" otherwise.
UU: She says, and I quote, "it'll get better".
TU: wtf
TU: y do i need to be *warned* abt that
UU: See, that's what I said! You know how AA is, though. She does this all the fucking time.
TU: ya well consider me warned ig
TU: idk how u can talk 2 her w/o getting stressed
TU: she's ok, but she's way 2 serious 4 me
UU: It takes a special set of skills, that's for sure...

UU: That aside, what are you really up to?
UU: My inquiry operates on the assumption that "updog" isn't a real thing.
UU: Wait, is it?
TU: no LMAO, it's a joke
TU: u've been hoodwinkled or w/e
UU: Yes, we've been over that.
UU: Again, are you doing anything worth noting right now?
TU: i
TU: don't think so????
TU: i was thinkin i might get up off my butt & do a small land quest
UU: Really? You?
UU: Okay, hold the fuck up. Who's holding you at gunpoint? Do you need me to come over there? Are you the real DW, or are you an imposter?
TU: WOWIE reb, u do such gr8 things 4 my self esteem /s
TU: i decided 2 do it *myself*, tyvm
UU: Entirely by yourself?
TU: ok, us helped a *tiny bit*
UU: So US put you up to it. Liar.
TU: no!!!!
TU: (yes)
UU: I KNEW it.
UU: Regardless, if you ever need a pointer, I'm here.
TU: what if i need more than a pointer
TU: what iiiiif
TU: u could come over here
TU: & help
UU: Why? Isn't it futile?
TU: ik, ik, but it's smth to do
TU: rite
UU: I'll consider it.
UU: Out of curiosity, though, was it the younger or elder US who told you to go questing?
TU: unashamed is the older one rite
TU: i'm pretty sure, jst confirming
UU: Yes.
TU: it was him
UU: That makes sense.
TU: jst a day in the life of moi
TU: getting scolded by an alien emperor like he's my dad or smth
TU: do u kno off the top of ur head how much older than us he is
UU: I've never asked. He's another one of those people I find it hard to hold a conversation with.
UU: I think the feeling is mutual, too.
TU: now tht i'm thinking abt it, he actually asked me how u were
TU: what should i tell him
TU: & ftr, he's a nice guy, u're just salty tht he got to rule an empire and u didn't
UU: Now you're just being a dumbass.
UU: Tell him I'm fine.
