I don't remem8er!
There was this whole thing a8out how the afterlife was hard to navig8? Every time I remem8er it it looks different.
And I don't remem8er seeing the monster 8reath firsthand! Unless it was the 8ig green explosion I remem8ered forever ago. All I know is that it was incredi8ly destructive and that it could shatter cracks in spacetime! So OP.

[The next response comes about five minutes later, after Danny's had a small hyperventilating episode. Thank god for autocorrect on phones, because with the way he's shaking right now, there's no way he can type accurately.]

I know who he is, Tavia. I remember everything about him.

Don't string me along, fucklord! DEEEEEEEETS.

Come onnnnnnnn. >::::O

Look, Tavia. It's me. I'm Lord English. Or, I was.

[drama8om8]

Hilarious.

I'm not kidding, Tavia! That 'monster breath' thing you mentioned? I can do that! I did it to the crab in Vegas! I wasn't always him but I remember what happened, I remember how I became him.

I'm Lord English.

Th8t's the m8st dum8est thing I ev8r heard you 8re like one of th8 least murd8ry people I kn8w are you high or drunk or 8oth or what. What. WH8T.

[gogoghostpowers]

No, I know, Octavia, just

something really bad happened, alright?

something really really bad happened with past me and I went from being, you know, me, to...that.

If you are a8out to tell me it was Vriska's fault I will flip every shit in the entire universe.
It wasn't MY fault, right? DEET ME ALRE8DY!!!!!!!!

No! No, it wasn't Vriska's fault.

[It takes him and also me, dang i took my sweet time with this a good long while to write the rest of this, partially because it's a long and convoluted memory, and partially because he's kind of afraid of actually writing it down and telling it to someone else. It makes it seem a lot more...inevitable.]

My ghost half got split from the rest of me and went berserk. He (I?) merged with another ghost and then killed the rest of me and went on this crazy rampage to destroy everything in his path. Both in the normal world and the Ghost Zone.

A lot of people and ghosts were killed. And a lot of it was with that screaming attack--it was called the 'Ghostly Wail'.




It matches up with everything you've said about Lord English to me.

[drama8om8]

Oh. Oh my god it DOES fit. I remem8er stuff a8out ghosts 8eing split from the alive parts and them 8eing separate and EV8RYTHING!
It h8ppened to Sollux too. The splitting. Not the "omg I am now a super evil universe destroying murderous fuck" 8it.
Oh god.
Oh man.
Oh god. Oh man. Oh god oh f8ck oh man!!!!!!!!
Can we like. Glue the ghost 8it inside you? May8e wrap you in tape so it can't ever get spl8t off????????

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't even know if that's possible. Maybe?!

...but it didn't seem like the split was easy to make, either. It only happened in the first place because of these clawed gloves that dug into me and pulled ghost-me out. I don't know if there's actually a way for the split to happen otherwise.

I don't know what the safest thing to do here is.

[drama8om8]

We have to lamin8te you. So no claws can penetr8 the incredi8le protection that you will 8e awarded.

Except I guess that 8n't going to help if you just echo 8ack the whole 8it where you are a terrifying murderfiend who just wants to destroy everything and every8ody ever.

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe I should just try and avoid anything that might ever give me another pulse.

[drama8om8]

Have you considered hiding away in a vault somewhere. A cement vault! Underground.

(I am joking.)

 

(I mean you could just poof on out of there anyway, let's 8e real.)

[gogoghostpowers]

I could, though. We do have the Fenton Nuclear Bunker in the basement...

[drama8om8]

8ut what if 8eing alone in a nuclear 8unker or trying to seal yourself away triggers an echo!
These things are so unpredicta8le. Unpredicta8le and irrit8ting and a pain in the ass.
8asically we have to treat you like a ticking TIME 8om8.
(That was kind of a pun or a joke or something! 8ut if I explain it then you might get all echoey off it. So just fyi it was totally funny and witty and gr8 and it lightened the mood here considera8ly. Got it?)

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh god you're right. Crap.

So, what, just keep going about my day as normally as I can? Stick to a strict schedule of "school, then home, then never talk about my past life with anyone ever again"?

[drama8om8]

I don't even know if THAT is a good idea!
I mean if you never talk a8out your past life shit ever again and you hulk out anyway, every8ody except me will 8e completely unprepared for the destruction and devast8tion you will inevita8ly inflict on all of us.
Not to mention that I don't even know how I killed him/you yet!
God. Who knew that 8eing self-appointed leader came with all this responsi8ility.
Do you know what kind of pressure you have put me under with this terri8le and dangerous secret of yours????????
