Hey, you've reached Dipper! I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you soon!

...

But if this is paranormal-related? Hang up now, call back, let it ring exactly twice, then hang up again. Don't leave a message. I'll get back to you even sooner.

Sorry, should I have been slightly more sincere? Let me try again.

I wish that you had, in fact, killed me.

[krmvgivv]

That does sound more sincere. I hope you're not expecting me to apologize for not killing you.

[fulllifeconsequences]

What kind of backwards weirdo do you take me for, Dipper? Who actually expects apologies for that?

[krmvgivv]

The kind of backwards weirdo who just said they wish I'd killed them. You also know you would have come right back, right? And that there's a therapist you can talk to if you're feeling suicidal? Cause I am definitely not a trained professional.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Oh, I know. That's how it was before I was called here, too.

You don't have to take everything I say so seriously, you know. At risk of giving myself away, I'd like to point out that sometimes I just like to mess with you.

[krmvgivv]

Obviously. But just cause you're messing with me doesn't mean you're not telling me things. I'm a detective, Chara. I know how to read between the lines.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Actually... I'd believe that. You're something, if you can remember things across SAVEs.

[Just like Sans, though he'd probably consider himself more of a researcher than a sleuth, if that room behind his house was any clue.]

[krmvgivv]

I pay attention. Also not my first time travel rodeo. That might have helped.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Related to the mindscape, or something entirely separate?

[krmvgivv]

Totally different. Why would it have to do with the mindscape? No we just borrowed a time machine once.

[fulllifeconsequences]

I'm figuring out your world's rules secondhand. Maybe beings in the mindscape exist outside linear time, for all I know.

Makes about as much sense as having spare time machines just lying around.

[krmvgivv]

I mean it makes more sense than just wanting it really hard.

Also ours can go forwards and back and by a way longer amount of time. Thousands of years even.

[fulllifeconsequences]

[Well! Isn't that interesting. One LOAD to bury a surname, and Dipper knows how Chara rewinds time, and seems to have an idea how far back it can go.]

You're not the only one who can read between the lines, detective.

You've been talking to Frisk, right?

[He definitely knows Frisk, and Sans' knowledge is all secondhand and half-remembered moments of deja vu, anyway. Who else would have spilled?]

[krmvgivv]

[WHOOPS. He definitely wasn't supposed to mention that. Too bad he can't go back a few minutes himself.]

Well, yeah. What did you expect me to do, not try and find answers?

If you want your save thing to be a secret you probably shouldn't use it so much.

[fulllifeconsequences]

That's a little funny. It was not for my own sake that I kept that secret.

Everything I know about exploiting that power was learned. Taught. Part of the guidance I received.

[krmvgivv]

What do you mean?

[fulllifeconsequences]

Exactly what I said. Aren't you supposed to be reading between the lines, detective?

[krmvgivv]

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try and get as much information as possible before drawing my conclusions.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Doesn't mean I am going to hand out secrets for free, either. That's a little too one-sided, don't you think?

[krmvgivv]

Fine. Were you keeping it for Frisk? That doesn't make any sense. They're the one who explained it to me.

But that would mean someone else can do it too.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Took it a little too far. Frisk was the one I kept it for, in fact.

Which makes it interesting that they would tell you so easily. I'm going to guess it was because there was no risk of consequences for them. In fact. I'm going to guess that it was entirely for the sake of defeating me?

[krmvgivv]

Are you gonna get all weird about this? Cause I'm pretty sure it was way more about the risk of consequences for other people. I did have a lot of reason to believe you were gonna try and kill Max. I'm glad I was wrong, but I still had to prepare for the worst.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Am I ever not all weird?

I don't mention the consequences for other people because they, apparently, were never a deciding factor in what was done with that power. Guess the rules are different now that we've grown apart!

[krmvgivv]

Well speaking as other people they really should be.

[fulllifeconsequences]

Sorry, Dipper, I don't make the rules! I just enforce them. With knives.
