(PRETEND IT'S) MIDNIGHT CHANNEL; (don't click the latter half of images if you're squeamish)

[hechizar]

( It's midnight! Clearly that means your TV wanted to be on, right? Well, even if it wasn't on before, it's on now, and it's playing a rather cheerful Spanish tune full blast. If you look over at it, you'll see what looks like the beginning of a travel show, showing scenery and locations, all with that music playing happily over it

For fuck's sake, this wasn't supposed to happen.

Oi mate. Talk to me, yeah?

[hechizar]

Oh, hello Nathan! Hello! Did you enjoy my show?

What wasn't supposed to happen?

[twatimmemorial]

Up until it started to get a little too familiar for my liking, yeah. Look, you shouldn't be in there. No one should.

[hechizar]

Familiar? But it's true! Quite a bit of it is very very very true, you know.

And I'm fine here!

[twatimmemorial]

You're not though. I get it, I've been there, and you've got it loads worse cos you've got all this history. Literally. I never paid much attention in school so thanks for catching me up, man, but you can't stay there.

[hechizar]

I can teach you more! A lot more! After all, most of this even my own people want to forget and leave behind! Isn't that funny? After all, you don't learn if you just forget, right?

And I can stay here if I want to. Are you really going to be able to come and take me?

[twatimmemorial]

Let's be honest, I probably couldn't, but you wouldn't believe how much power those mystery solving foetuses pack.

[twatimmemorial]

Look, that's not the point. Just

THINK ABOUT HOW SHITTY IT FELT TO BE IN THE TV. THINK ABOUT IT. OKAY NOW BE A GOOD FRIEND.

[twatimmemorial]

 

[twatimmemorial]

Alright, go ahead and teach me. Get it off your chest.

[hechizar]

I don't want anyone to come and get me, I'm fine where I am.

And really, you want to know? You want to know just what an empire does when its in power? What horrors someone does just to get one sliver of gold?

For some reason I doubt that.

[twatimmemorial]

Yeah that's what they all say.

Try me.

[hechizar]

I don't think a human would even comprehend the sins a nation can take.

[twatimmemorial]

Yeah yeah, Catholic guilt, I get it. C'mon man, what country DOESN'T have a fucked up bloody history? You can't beat yourself up over it.

[hechizar]

That's the very funny thing! I really don't. Or I just don't do it properly! All I've wanted to do for years is just forget. Forget and forget and forget. But really, that's a bad thing to do, you know. I can't just forget that I'm losing everything!

[twatimmemorial]

Yeah take it from someone whose family crest probably says REPRESS AND OVERCOMPENSATE in Gaelic, you can't pretend your past doesn't exist.
