Hola, chico fuego
Do you plan to burn everything down soon?
The purple woman had a dream.

[ Okay first, what the fuck is chico fuego??? He squints at that name, glaring at it for a bit. He understands what it means despite not knowing Spanish, but UGH. Second, he saw that particular post while he’s mindlessly looking through the network. Weirdos. ]

not responsible for someone’s wet dream

[ Probably shouldn’t have made this inappropriate reference to a little girl but John doesn’t particularly care. ]

( She doesn't know what that last part means, and she doesn't particularly care — she understands the context. This is close enough to 'no' to be acceptable. )

If someone was on fire, could you put them out?

yeah, i can easily do that
why?

If everything catches on fire, will you please put the purple woman out?
She let me pet her bird.
Also put her bird out, por favor.

[ There's a delay on his end because John just squints at this request for a while. What the hell. ]

you really believe whatever the fuck she's saying?

Si.
Why not?
We can do things. She can do things.

she can also just be a liar
or maybe the fairy overlords of this place is using her to scare us

Did it work on you? Are you scared?

no :)

Me neither, so it probably wasn't the last one.
I don't think she's lying.

how are you so sure?

I'm not.
But if she's lying, nothing happens. It doesn't matter if we do nothing.
If she's not lying, something happens, and we're stupid.

( Constant! Vigilance! )

[ He's still not sold. ]

this purple lady with wet dreams a friend of yours?

She let me pet her bird.

( so OBVIOUSLY YES, duh, jeeze, does this man even remotely understand friendship )

what's up with you and birds?

They didn't have animals at the facility.
I only met a horse once, after.
Now a bird.
One day a cat. Tell me if you find one.

have you seen a dog, then?

No. Only pictures.
Tell me if you see one of those, too.

too bad there isn't some stupid zoo here
dadneto can take you if he wants

[ He's not saying 'yes' to any of these favors but John will most likely let her know if he does see these animals. ]

You wouldn't come to the zoo too?

not my thing :)

It would be fun.
Fun is what friends do.

[ Ugh, what has he gotten himself into? ]

fun's also not staring at boring animals

(

)

They're only boring if YOU'RE boring.

You call him dadneto
Is he your father?

he's my boss daddy ;)

( She doesn't know what the fuck that means, so she's going to assume the answer was "yes". )

You are lucky.
He's nice.

[ Good thing this is over text because John's laughing on the other end, the little shit. So his reply comes a bit late. ]

i mean he's a lot of things
but yeah, guess he's nice

we're in a first name basis now :) [ He just loves trolling ok ]

What other things?

Is it normal to do that?

( Call your dad by his first name?? Seems weird, but wtf does she know about parent-child relationships. )

terrorist. murderer. the usual

not really normal but we're closer now ;)

This is okay, so am I.

Why do you keep making that face

( the Suspicion is beginning to creep in )

[ He's not surprised by the murderer part if this little girl was created to be a weapon. Still doesn't sit well with him, but let's not talk about heavy issues and continue to be a piece of shit. ]

it's a cute face :)
