Wow, you really care.
I hope they understand one day just how much you worked to prevent me from killing them.

Anyway!

[ Well, even with the slight irritation, he's feeling pretty good. Aside from wondering when he should reset the loop that Wake's in, anyway. ]

How are you doing?
What's new with you?

[readytosee]

I'm sure they'll name a research wing after me.

Are we doing this?
Pretending like we're friendly with each other?

[geniusofslaughter]

A great feather in your cap, I'm sure.

Would you rather we just be antagonistic to each other?
Besides

[ Eh, fuck it. ]

I'm in a good mood.

[readytosee]

Maybe it will be included in my Christmas bonus. The possibilities are endless.

Why don't you tell me more about yourself, then.
It might help me come up with your fancy title.

[geniusofslaughter]

A promotion might be on the way!

Well, I do like talking about me.
I don't like people getting involved in my business, but talking about myself is always enjoyable.

Where should I start? My childhood?
Kidding. I didn't have one. I just WAS one day.
But I do have memories of a childhood.
Someone else's.

[readytosee]

Your childhood? No, I'm not that kind of doctor.
Is there a reason you have someone else's memories, or is that a mystery to you, too?

[geniusofslaughter]

Still have no idea what you do.

There's a reason.
I'm an amalgamation of stories about one man.
To make the story more true

[ He pauses, scratches his stubble. ]

[geniusofslaughter]

I need you to know for my benefit only that when I write "make the story more true" to read it in the most patronizing tone.

Please understand and incorporate that in your reading of the text.

Thanks!

[geniusofslaughter]

To make the story more true, I need to know things.

[readytosee]

Your patronizing tone has been noted.

I have half a dozen doctorates. I'll make you a spreadsheet.

So you're a tulpa, in essence.
Something brought to life through belief and repeated story telling.

[geniusofslaughter]

Thanks, again, buddy!

And should I call you "Doctor Buddy," then?

Yes, but remember!
More unique and special. And with my own title.

[readytosee]

Of course, anything I can do to make this experience better for you is my pleasure.

Do you not know my name? I would have thought with all your knowledge of the organization you would have figured that out already.

Does it need to be in English, or is language of no consequence.

[geniusofslaughter]

Even though you're getting mouthy, I still like what I read enough to take it as fact.

The name I have can't be your name. Those people like you to keep it from me.

It doesn't need to be, I guess.
What language were you thinking?

[readytosee]

What name do you have? Mine isn't a very common name.
Well -- it is and isn't.

Just that I might delve deeper into some folklore.
Most cultures have some sort of being based on collective consciousness.

[geniusofslaughter]

You want me to type it?
Well, whatever.

Darling.
Doctor Darling, they said.

Until they just stopped saying it.
But I do take the blame for that one.
In my defense, the hammer did most of the work.

[geniusofslaughter]

Oh!
I like that idea!!
Naming me after something like that - I like it.

Good one, Doctor Buddy.

[readytosee]

Jesus Christ.
You said you weren't going to hurt anyone, if I worked on this for you.

That is my name though, yes.
Darling, I mean. Is my last name. So Doctor Darling.

[geniusofslaughter]

Oh.

Well, shit.

[geniusofslaughter]

And look, that was before we made our deal.

[geniusofslaughter]

But you gotta admit that your name is unconventional.
Any person would think they were being fucked with.

But hey, at least we now officially know each other's names.
A silver-lining.

[readytosee]

Did...
Was the reason you beat someone to death with a hammer because you didn't believe them about my name?
Or were those two things unrelated.

(I genuinely don't know which option is worse.)

[geniusofslaughter]

I didn't believe them about your name.
And I don't like being lied to in what I felt was a real blatant fashion.

[readytosee]

[It's fine. What's one more death on his conscience?]

I see.
At least now I know with greater certainty what sort of madman I'm dealing with, exactly.

[geniusofslaughter]

Oh??

And what kind of madman are you dealing with?

[readytosee]

You clearly have no regard whatsoever for human life.
Or, I would wager, any life but your own.
And you tend to throw tantrums when you don't get your way.
