@asdflkjh we've kept the house pitch dark for weeks now why haven't you eaten us yet
@autistikai listen, it's my busy season. we can't all be santa
@asdflkjh no but we did manage to nab a copy of some of santa's time manipulation tech so. if you stopped by we could help you with the, er, crunch (heh)
@autistikai oh! oh, i see. well then, i may have to adjust my itinerary. mm, yessss...
@asdflkjh and, as a sign of our high regard, we won't even request anything at the time we give it to you
@autistikai that's lucky, because i have almost literally nothing to give
@asdflkjh you have your self, do you not
@autistikai sadly, i do not, for i am promised in varying degrees to no less than... *squints at page, mutters* ... nine!? good lord. nine souls
@asdflkjh no, no. not yourself. your self
@autistikai oh gosh, no, i got rid of that ages ago. never had much use for the thing
@asdflkjh then what are you, dear one?
@autistikai what a wonderful question. memetic construct? shadow incarnate? some nerd lying in bed spouting nonsense on the internet?
@asdflkjh all of those are things you could very easily....misplace
@asdflkjh the things we say tend to be, love. just be careful not to lose it and you should do just fine
@autistikai mm. i suppose that's true enough
