hey so
everyone who was at that job fair thing a while back and didnt zone out five minutes in
did yall ever decide who the official space plumber is
or were there even your standard heroic type jobs on the list
like the purehearted king arthur sorta heroes who can swing by really quick and pull a sword out of a stone
by stone i mean porcelain btw
thats the literal skillset im lookin for here


[Dave wouldn't be bothering with the network if he weren't desperate. everyone else seems to be finding useful things like clothes and weapons that can actually be utilized for self-defense, and he's the jackass over here with a sword that barely even qualifies as a weapon stuck in his toilet.]

[okay, so it wasn't stuck when he first found it sitting there in the toilet. it got stuck through a series of stupid impulse decisions, such as immediately trying to send it out to space via flushing. and since he is no hero, no purehearted King Arthur type, that sord in the throne ain't budging.]

[ ...something clicks. this messages comes a lot sooner, which might suggest a tone of vague panic. ]

why do you say it is unfortunately yours

[ this is important to know. she doesn't know why she thinks so, but she will put stock in this thought for now. her responses are, still, noticeably faster. ]

[ the picture helps paint an image, for sure. it allows morgana to see what looks like a childish rendition of a sword, a mess of colors and ... dots? she can't tell, dave, she's from the middle ages.

but that is a sword, an instrument used for cutting and killing. a instrument that-- ]


its disgusting
why is it yours

[ immediately, there is a correction that comes from morgana's side of the screen. either this truly, truly gets under her skin and she's upset, or she's getting used to typing. (it's the former.) ]

its dangerous

[ swords are made to cut, to take, to harm. ...she can't stand them. ]

someone gave it to you

[ it's a question. ]

its barbaric and we will not need it upon this vessel so dispose of it

[ ... moments later, morgana thinks about this, and realizes what a GOLDMINE she's accidentally stumbled upon ]

my my dave, would i be right in guessing that is exactly how it ended up in the commode and stuck

if you did not place it there, you got it stuck, yes
poltergeists have better things to do than flush swords down commodes, i assure you
do my next question is quite simple dave
do you not consider yourself a hero?

[ his words are strange, but she understands them. he couldn't wretch it from the porcelain throne, colloquially speaking. there's a sincerity to his words here, however, as if he's venting without showing his true feelings. she cannot relate, but there's almost a bitterness here, she thinks.

is that what he wanted to be, or what he was raised to be?

morgana's response is equally snap, and likely says too much about her own thoughts and feelings on the matter. ]


i do not believe in fairy tales or heroes, dave
princes and knights and would-be rescuers, men who ride in and save the day
they never existed to begin with

[ at first, she thinks to not respond. in the past, she would have egged this conversation on, poking and prodding until he snapped at her.

instead, she thinks the best thing to do would be to leave him be.

after a moment, she thinks better of it: ]


you truly are your own worst enemy, my dear.

[ whether or not he figures out the meaning here is up to him, in the end. ]
