ITT: Falcon's problems are the most important problems.

[pedaltothemetal]

[Falcon? Mysteriously absent during this whole debacle? Yes? Where was he? Fixing the leak from hell at mommy's house Doing Important Captain Falcon Things and being oblivious to the school's most recent brush with death, of course.]

You people would not believe what I have been through.

Oh. You went away again. Are you actually going to tell me about it this time?

[pedaltothemetal]

That was a fast five years.

There was a plumbing emergency.

[ionianmode]

I am typing. Typing is not talking so it does not count.

Oh. You fixed a pipe this weekend. That is nice.

I joined the army.

[pedaltothemetal]

It's talking over the Internet. It counts.

It was a very important pipe.

Good. Maybe you'll actually learn something about real life.

[ionianmode]

It does not count! That is like saying it counts if you read the homework that I hand in for Physics!

Maybe I will. It was not like anyone else was ever going to teach me.

[pedaltothemetal]

It counts.

I did teach you, but you wouldn't listen and decided not to talk to me for five years. So enjoy. Pay for your own tuition and room and board and clothes and crayons and tools and everything else you need. Don't come crying to me when real life chews you up and spits you out, because it will, and then you'll be sorry.

[ionianmode]

It does not!

All you taught me is that it is cool to lie to people that love you. If the best that you can do is tell me nobody will buy things for me anymore, that is not going to work. If you are going to wait for me to show up crying, you are going to be waiting for a very, very long time!

[pedaltothemetal]

If you think that's what I was trying to teach you, then completely missed the point. You do not understand what's out there and what I was trying to protect you from. So go. Find out. If you such an expert about what's best and know what's good for you then go do it.

Who said I'd be waiting? You'll learn your lesson, but I won't be here when you're done.

[ionianmode]

I never expected you to wait anyway! That is not your style. You would rather make other people wait for you, right, DJ?

I am not helpless! You can be sarcastic all you like but that will not change the fact that I am tougher than you think I am. My world does not revolve around you anymore, Papa!

[pedaltothemetal]

I'm not being sarcastic. I'm being completely serious. Go. If you're tough, then prove it. But you're not going to like what you find out there and you'll wish you listened to me, I guarantee it.

I never asked you to think of me like that.

[ionianmode]

Then that is good, because I am done thinking of you like that.

[pedaltothemetal]

Fine.

[icequeen_aran]

You joined the army? [IF YOU JOINED THE GALACTIC FEDERATION I AM PUNCHING THEM IN THEIR FEDERATION FACES.]

[ionianmode]

Some man was trading antidotes to people that joined, and sister really wanted us to have antidotes. I thought it would be okay even if I did not have one, but he said there would be robotics so I said yes.

[icequeen_aran]

Some man.

[ionianmode]

He said his name was Kaz.
