I know what a TV is.

I simply hadn't had the chance to use one before arriving in this world.

As far as I can tell, the era from which I came is similar to the one that we are residing in now.

[h2no]

like... you were never expected to go outside or anything, were you

[d33tached]

On occasion.

[Under only the strictest of supervision, of course, but he won't mention that.]

Why do you ask?

[h2no]

thats messed up
i dont understand your universe
and i want to because that place made you pull a knife on a 14 year old

[d33tached]

[D33 can't help but roll his eyes a bit at yet another mention of the Niko incident, but even so, Archie's answer isn't one that he was expecting.]

No one made me brandish my knife against Nikolai.

It was my own decision. You and Father Maxwell have made that perfectly clear and I do not deny it.

[Maybe he just doesn't want to admit how insightful Archie's response actually is.]

My universe, as far as I can tell, was not entirely dissimilar to this one, aside from the presence of non-human creatures and super powers.

I suppose it would be more accurate to say that it was the society in which I lived that made the difference.

As I've told you, it was quite restrictive.

[Why he's bothering to give Archie any more information on it now is beyond him. Could this perhaps be a show of...trust?]

[h2no]

people just don't come to that decision
normal people anyway
that's what i meant
like damn did they stop you from rubbing one out and this is how the pent up stuff manifests?? you know its okay to do that right

[d33tached]

[He is really, really going to regret asking this, isn't he?]

Do what, exactly?

[By the way, "rubbing one out" was definitely frowned upon but that didn't stop D33!]

[h2no]

[boop]

[d33tached]

[Some time later.]

You are positively disgusting.

[He's not even mad anymore. He doesn't have the energy to be mad anymore. He should have expected this. He should have known better.]

[h2no]

says the guy who obviously just pulled it 50 times before getting back to me
i love being right about everything

[d33tached]

[JK, TIME TO BE AFFRONTED AGAIN.]

I most certainly did not!

[h2no]

oh okay i guess you just went to make and eat ten sandwiches then

[d33tached]

I no longer wish to speak to you.

[h2no]

you got other plans now
i get it its okay
see you later dee

[d33tached]

[What-- NO.]

You're being repulsive.

[h2no]

but right
remember deedee: it's normal and you'll feel less like using words longer than three syllables after

[d33tached]

[In a manner that can only be described as disgruntled, even via text:]

I know what masturbation is.

Leave me alone.

[h2no]

okay one more q because this wasn't my original intention
what was the government like where you came from?

[d33tached]

I don't know.

[It might sound dismissive, but it's true. He'd never once dealt with the government of his own world - only the man which governed his life.]

[h2no]

what, it was you in the hole you lived in?
arcues so much is slotting into place

[d33tached]

I didn't live under a government.

[h2no]

monarchy?

[d33tached]

Something like that, yes.

[There's a pause.]

More of a dictatorship, really.

[h2no]

???
like a really bad one??
i guess all are bad but did the leader keep like
books and shit away from you

[d33tached]

The vast majority of them, yes. There were a selected few which we were allowed to read upon occasion. Children's books, mostly.

[It's a little strange that he's answering, though he can't help but notice that it feels a bit cathartic to do so. It's a testament to his trust for Archie, really, that he hasn't clammed up by now.]

It was a largely unpleasant place, if that's what you're intending to ask.
