You know, I thought staying on this side would be safer.

I really need to stop listening to myself.

I really hate the 'evil twin' scenario. Why can't there ever be a 'good twin' scenario? Or a 'mildly pleasant twin'? I'll even take a 'case of the morning grump but it wears off in a  few hours and is really a very boring guy who would never wish to

There are lots of good twins out there! You just have to be nice, you know?

[redeemed_polly]

Not exactly a risk I feel like taking. I can barely tell who's who, and if I try to buddy up to someone I know, it could be a trap, and I'll wind up as dinner. I don't like being dinner. Being dinner is not fun.

[pacifistics]

You just have to learn to trust people! I know it can be hard, but when you trust people, it makes them trust you back! And then you can be friends!

[redeemed_polly]

... So now I'm dinner with a side order of delusional. That's just great.

[pacifistics]

No, no! You can't think like that! Friends don't eat their friends, silly!

[redeemed_polly]

You're a special kind of thick-headed, I can tell. You might be worse than the other crazies.

[pacifistics]

I-I am not! I just want everyone to be friends! They're always fighting and stuff, but if we actually tried to trust each other, I'm sure they'd stop!

[redeemed_polly]

Right. If I see any of the ones who aint as friendly as you, I'll be sure to send them your way, so you can give 'em all a nice little hug and settle everything.

[pacifistics]

Do you think that'd work?!

[redeemed_polly]

It'll work as much as I like you. That answer it?

[pacifistics]

That's wonderful! Thank you so much for the idea, Mr. Bird!

[redeemed_polly]

... Yeaaaaaah, you go have fun with that idea.
