not really
hate to say it, but it's actually pretty normal here

but this isn't the first time i've met an alt of myself either

[ingeniar]

This is you?

[ Attached: iron_man_flying.mov. ]

[voicelog]

yep

[ it isn't a closely kept secret, so he has no reason to deny it. ]

[ingeniar]

Nice handling. Top speed?

[voicelog]

let me get this straight

you just suddenly found yourself in a new dimension where apparently an alternate version of yourself exists and the first thing you want to do is shop talk?

[ingeniar]

You don't?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[voicelog]

i don't
and i'm not interested

[ alt or not, he doesn't trust him as far as he can yeet him. ]

are you in excelsior right now?

[ingeniar]

[ T, why are you doing this to him. ]

That's what they keep telling me. They're also telling me to go to this place called Arcadia. Going to guess I shouldn't do that.

[voicelog]

[ oh, you know... trust issues, paranoia, extreme self-loathing subconsciously externalized. ]

no, you shouldn't
not unless you want to come under potential house arrest

i'd advise you keep your distance from the guilds here

[ingeniar]

[ Self-loathing, huh? ]

Are we talking like a Scientology deal?

[voicelog]

[ self-loathing, low self-worth, social anxiety — fun stuff. ]

yeah something like that

they aren't a big fan of us as a collective
the starfallen

i'm sure you've already seen the posts

[ingeniar]

Yeah, I was mostly bothered by how Starfallen is a stupid name.

I've seen this sort of thing before. It kind of ends badly. I'm done signing on the dotted line.

[voicelog]

well, i wasn't the one who came up with it

[ he agrees. it is stupid. ]

heard you made contact with strange
he should be able to bring you up to speed

[ingeniar]

Wait, is this a three way call? Is he on the other line right now? Tell him I'm definitely not inviting him to prom.

[voicelog]

he needed to make sure that he wasn't getting scammed

[ingeniar]

That's on you for putting him on your out of office. Which is cute, by the way. Guess you're close.

[voicelog]

i'm on an extended social media break

[ in that way where he's 24/7 tracking them but hands on participation is not happening whatsoever. ]

he isn't

[ingeniar]

Isn't what? Close?

[voicelog]

on a social media break

wait
does it bother you? if we're close

[ingeniar]

I think it depends what you mean by close and whether it's the same as what I mean by close.

[voicelog]

we're close friends [ arguably best friends. ]

[ingeniar]

Cute.

[voicelog]

sure

if he has you taken care of, then i think we're good here
