OLD GUARD
[Their Morals and Ours]
After all of that, everyone took a break for an hour to cool off.
Memetical_Cargo
"Ok, I want to say sorry about what I said about GB. I had a talk with Cowboy and, while I'm still not sure that's really who he kept saying who he was....."
Memetical_Cargo
"Calling him a dead girl is fucked up. I just, really thought I got Valentine slated to be culled."
Memetical_Cargo
"And I'm sorry mother, for calling you a murderer. I don't think you would murder another human."
Memetical_Cargo
"It's just that I don't know what happened, and that's scarier than if you had murdered GB's family."
ShrimpRocks
"Cargy, I get that you're scared but it really hurts when you do that. It's hurts me, your father, your siblings, and your friends. I'm just glad the real GB didn't have to hear all of that."

"GB's if that really who Valentine is now... heard a hundred worse things from me before. This wouldn't be any different."
Memetical_Cargo
"I'm just so tired of hurting people. What's the use of talking if the only thing that's going to come out of my mouth is harmful shit? I keep thinking that I've solved everything, and it turns out I just keep being wrong every single time."
Memetical_Cargo
"The mystery is solved. The detective has arrested the whole fucking town. He has the keys to the lock, and everyone behind the cell is talking about how he looks like he's the one sitting in jail now. They all hate him."
ShrimpRocks
"Cargo, none of us hate you. We know you just need help, ok?" ShrimpRocks sighs. "It's my fault. I should have gotten you medicated when I knew something was wrong, but I thought that, well, getting you medicated would make you different or twist you into what that awful Sun wants folks to be."
ShrimpRocks
"I thought your life would be worse if you knew what was "wrong" with you, but I just ended up making it worse. Now when you look back, I know you blame me. You could have had a more normal life if you just knew and could get help."
ShrimpRocks
"Honestly, every time you got mad at me, I just would get mad back because I didn't want to be at fault. I didn't want to be one of those mothers who kept messing up cause they were so busy working all the time."
ShrimpRocks
"But that's what I was. I just thought I was doing good because I wasn't doing as bad as my parents, or the other parents around me."
ShrimpRocks
"Cargo, I'm so sorry I was so focused on being the "best mom" that I didn't even try to be a "good mom" to you."
Memetical_Cargo
"No, you weren't bad. You were right about keeping me away from that junk."
ShrimpRocks
"No."
ShrimpRocks
"I was not."
ShrimpRocks
"You should take the medication, Cargy."
Memetical_Cargo
"But it won't be me anymore!"
ShrimpRocks
"No. That's what I told you, but I don't think that's true. I mean, I guess you wouldn't be suffering as much, but I don't think suffering needs to be part of your personality."

"I don't know. Watching you.....freak out about GB made me realize that if you were medicated, you would have been excited about it, you know? We could have planned a dinner and had a ton of fun like old times, but nooooooooo. Your dumb mother just thought you're better off being "normal" that she ain't think that it could be harmful."
Memetical_Cargo
"I'm not going to like doing anything I like doing right now."
ShrimpRocks
"Hmmmmmmmm....."
ShrimpRocks
"I think you'll still like them!"
ShrimpRocks
"Just without thinking the government or the people around you are secretly involved. Ok? Cause like, you don't do some of the things you want to do because you think they're a trap, and like, now you'll be able to do that, brah."
Memetical_Cargo
"....................................."
Memetical_Cargo
"I will think about it, mother."
ShrimpRocks
"Don't worry Cragy, you'll be sooooo much better at thinking than your silly ole mother. You've always been so smart, I know you can do this!"
Yu watches the conversation between the two with intent.

A person who thought they were nothing but a monster being told they weren't......

There was a heavy sense of envy.
Yu
The game continued, but Yu sat there, as if waiting for their moment of redemption to come. Finally they spoke. "Hey Cowboy?"
Cowboy
"Yeah?" Cowboy states plainly.
Yu
"Do you have anything to say?"
Cowboy
"Nope."
When would Yu get their redemption? It wasn't fair.
Yu
"You keep getting mad about me wanting just one little thing! I thought we were supposed to respect each other's wishes, and you can't stop fucking breaking them, and making me feel like shit for doing what I want to do! I DESERVE to have my choice respected just like anyone else!"
Cowboy
"You're right, and for that I'm sorry."
Yu
"YOU...."
Yu
"What, really?"
Cowboy
"I've been treating you like shit, cause I've been realizing that after being abused by you all the time and watching you talking shit about the world I love......that I just don't like you anymore. You make me feel like a small worthless toy to toss around."
Yu
"You told me it was ok to yell at you."
Cowboy
"Yeah, well frankly that just tells me you never thought about my feelings in that situation. Imagine day after day, someone you care for keeps coming into your messages, yelling at you, blaming you for shit you didn't even do."
Cowboy

"And when you weren't getting pissed off at me, you were getting pissed off at the world. I'm TIRED, man. I don't want to hear about how "Humanity is disgusting" and "People can't help being animals" when you're the fucking KING of all of those behaviors."

"Just, fucking look in a damn mirror for once in your life and realize you're the monster you hate so much. That, or stop fucking talking to people if you're just going to keep seeing them as pile of mistakes. It's not good for you, it's not good for me, and it's not good for the rest of humanity."
Cowboy
"I'm out for now. Shrimp, you're party lead now. Cargo, if you want to leave as well, that's up to you. It looks like you're chilling right now. I'm going to go get some documents about GB from the record books on Barnable island, ok? Call me if you need me."
Yu
"When are you coming back?"
Cowboy
"For you? Full honesty, maybe never."
Never.
Memetical_Cargo
"When will you be back?"
Never.

"Island's not too far. A day and a half, don't worry. I'll have my phone on me. It's a safe flight."
Cowboy has left the chat.
Yu
"Haha."
Never.
Yu
"I'm a horrible person!"
Never.
ShrimpRocks
"Shut up. No one likes someone who self-flagellates in public for pity. We don't feel sorry for you. You DESERVE that."
Memetical_Cargo
"I feel a little bit of pity."
Yu
"Cowboy can't leave me. He's mine! We've been friends forever!"
Memetical_Cargo
"Pity levels decreasing rapidly."
There's a sound of thrashing coming from Yu's end.
Yu
"You gotta get him back! Please! Just, call him, say I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare him off! Come on, he's going to come back isn't he? Just, contact him really quickly, I didn't mean it. Why can't I stop messing up!?"

ShrimpRocks chooses to ignore Yu. "So Cargo, who do you think we should ask to replace Cowboy's slot? I'd call that, Buck guy, but he's having like.....dude problems right now."
Memetical_Cargo
"I don't like that guy."
Yu
"THIS IS SERIOUS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? IF...IF YOU DON'T GET COWBOY BACK, I'LL TRY TO ESCAPE THIS ISLAND AND FIND HIM MYSELF!"
ShrimpRocks
"Do you want to play video games or nah, brah, cause we can leave too."
Why wasn't this working? Whenever Yu did this to Cowboy, he'd come right back.
Yu
"I'M SERIOUS!"
ShrimpRocks
"And I'm Lady, Harhar. But seriously brah, do whatever you want to do with your life. I ain't going to feel guilty."
On Yu's end, the two humans can hear a door fling open and be slammed shut.
ShrimpRocks
"We can invite Naut or your dad if you want."
Memetical_Cargo
"Mother.....do you think the island Yu lives on is safe....?"

"I'll tell you if there's a flash outside, but while I think the government is bad at a lot of things, they got this one under wraps."
Yu
"Stop talking about me, I didn't even leave! Ok!?"
ShrimpRocks
"Lol."
ShrimpRocks
"Hey Yu, would you prefer my cool awesome husband, or a cool headed radical shrimp like you that lives under the sea?"
ShrimpRocks
"*Like you in that he is a shrimp, not that you have a cool head."

Naut....Maybe he'll understand....
Yu
"I'll take Naut! Whatever, maybe he'll understand!"
ShrimpRocks
"You ok with Naut being around, Cargo?"
ShrimpRocks
"By the way, I'm sorry for like, trying to force you to visit Naut before. Like. After I did that, I went to bed that night and couldn't stop thinking about how fucked up it was that I tried to guilt trip you about it. We can like, swap you out too if you want."
Memetical_Cargo
"......................................."
Memetical_Cargo
"Is Naut mad at me?"
ShrimpRocks
"Naut would never be mad at you, hun. That's the one thing I was honest about."
Memetical_Cargo
"Yu's choice then."

"W-What? Why are you keeping me?" Cargo blurts out. "Not in a bad way or anything but it's not like I've done anything for you. I killed GB even though you didn't want that!"

"You've only seen my cekekis, and I don't like talking about those."
Yu
"Well."
Yu
"Investigator is cool too!"
Yu
"When will Naut join us?"
ShrimpRocks
"Don't worry about it, it'll be a surprise, and by surprise I mean a surprise to him, so it might take him a bit to figure out how to even boot up the game! :D"
ShrimpRocks
"You just rest your sweet little head and figure out how to keep your lady alive until ole Naut can come in, and then we'll have some good ole fun introductions!"
ShrimpRocks
"Oh, and by the way. Cowboy was playing as himself, and now that he quit the game he's "loose" so watch out!"
"Cause if that fake Cowboy finds us. He's going to kill us all."
No one is typing.
