[ what the fuck is idw comics ]

And you just want yourself a normal life, huh?

[arebetter]

I would appreciate being able to focus on my career and not evil mind control noise or whatever, yes.

[ ... ]

Wait, what the hell happened to that Silica woman and her band? Did she die because we rocked too hard, did someone press charges? Why doesn't literally anything about Jem and the Holograms make sense?

[transmittable]

[ i am sorry she is just laughing. ]

I know what you know, you know? So I can honestly and freely say: I don't know.

[arebetter]

Ugh, this is the worst! Hopefully my next memory or whatever clears some of this shit up.

[ It won't. ]

At least you can tell me the one thing.

[transmittable]

[ She's- okay, she's trying to not laugh anymore, she is. ]

The one thing?

[arebetter]

That you don't know.

[transmittable]

Oh- oh, that, yeah, for once I can feel great saying I have no clue!

[arebetter]

Then I guess at least one of us is satisfied, for now.

[transmittable]

Sorry~

[ ...She is absolutely teasing. ]

[arebetter]

I can't believe this. You're supposed to be the one who knows things here, what am I supposed to do now?

[ she is absolutely teasing back, good christ ]

[transmittable]

Hmmm, investigate?

[arebetter]

Hm... I guess I could stand to look around a little bit. Give me an "I can't tell you that" for good luck when I ask where I should start?

[transmittable]

[ Fake-bright and cheery: ]

I can't tell you that!

[arebetter]

There it is! Thank you very much, Transmitter. When I remember next week that Jem turned into a dragon and ate Eric, I'll probably feel really stupid.

[transmittable]

It's alright, you didn't even know you came from a "weird" world, you're forgiven.

[arebetter]

At least I don't foresee it getting much weirder.

[ honey you've got a big storm coming ]

[transmittable]

[ laughing... ]

You're over the hump now!

[arebetter]

Now we can go back to being two normal bands in a rivalry! That's not so bad, in comparison.

[transmittable]

Honestly preferable, probably.

[arebetter]

I'll say this about the Holograms, though: much better at managing their damn equipment than some groups I hate here.

[transmittable]

[ hahahaha- ]

Well... Yeah, I'll give ya that.

[arebetter]

[ THE RISEN NEVER HANDLED MACHINERY POORLY IN THEIR LIVES, NOT EVEN ONCE, ]

Anyway, I think that about does it for me... you got anything you want to talk about?

[transmittable]

[ ... ]

Be careful around the pool. Okay?

[arebetter]

[ "Dislikes: loneliness, water" ]

...You got it.
