Work Text:
Tango: You’re going to have to be more specific, my friend. Of my life? Of my death? Of the game? Of Team BEST? Lotta things you could be asking about, my friend.
[unintelligible]
Tango: Fine, then. It was all pretty stupid, wasn’t it? …don’t ask me which one I’m answering. Don’t ask that.
—
Solidarity: Well, that’s a million-dollar question, isn’t it? I mean, uh, I just wanted to do better than last time, but we all know how that worked out…
Solidarity: Come on, Grian. You know I went out first last time! You can’t just - sorry, it’s just, I’m dead, and I went first, you know? It’s just…
—
Shadowlady: I said I didn’t want to talk about it.
—
Tango: It’s just - GAH! It’s so stupid! I just killed myself! I gave away all my lives to everyone else, and the one time I try to do anything for myself…
Tango: Shows me what happens, doesn’t it, man? Sure shows me what it means when—
—
Bigbst4tz2: Cleo really did get her revenge, huh? I wish I’d just let myself go to red. I think a lot of people would have been happier. I don’t know. What was the question?
—
Skizzleman: I just lived for everyone else. Don’t know how good I did! Think I probably screwed it up! But Team BEST, man, talk about the best! Haha!
[A long period of silence.]
Skizzleman: Team BEST.
Skizzleman: How do you think they’re doing, anyway?
Skizzleman: Do you think they noticed I’m gone? I mean, other than the ones who— I’d hoped they would live longer, after.
—
Mumbo: I’m still reeling that he killed me. Him! My friend!
—
Goodtimeswithscar: Well, you propose an interesting question! Was it all worth it?
Goodtimeswithscar: I have some contracts that burnt to ashes to sell you if you think that’s an easy question, my friend.
—
Solidarity: I mean, I tried my best, didn’t I? And sure, I maybe screwed up a little. I probably shouldn’t have tried killing Grian like that, but honestly, I only punched him a little!
Solidarity: It’s not like I actually took anything from him!
Solidarity: Martyn, on the other hand— but he gave that away! It’s not really fair that I died first at all!
—
[unintelligible]
Shadowlady: It’s not a fair question, is all. What was the point? I mean, it’s not… it’s not a fair question, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to answer it. What’s the point of anything, really?
Shadowlady: If you want an answer you’re going to have to ask it better.
—
Bigbst4tz2: At least I changed more, this time. I don’t think I did that well with it, but I definitely changed more. That’s got to count for something, doesn’t it? I think so, probably.
Bigbst4tz2: If I had a negative impact, is that still having an impact? Is that the point? Man, this question’s hard.
—
Bdoubleo: Oh, yeah, the point was to win, duh. And I did real well. I almost got back to him, you know! It was a perfect crime. Absolutely perfect. No flaws whatsoever.
Bdoubleo: I mean, I guess for the part where I died. No regrets, though. Etho knows what to do.
—
Impulse: The point? Uhhhh… I just wanted to summon that wither with Grian, man, I didn’t think ahead much further than that.
—
Skizzleman: I mean, the point was for them, I think. Next time I know better, but this time, the point—
[unintelligible]
Skizzleman: Oh, after I went red? When I died? I just wanted to hang with Impulse I guess. Seemed like a better target than anyone else at the time.
Skizzleman: At least it wasn’t Etho or Tango or Bdubs.
Skizzleman: I do wish I had died in a cooler way, though. Like, man…
—
Mumbo: Before I died I had a good enough time, I guess. Haven’t had that much use for end crystals in, oh, a really long time.
Mumbo: Ignore Hermitcraft.
Mumbo: No, stop reminding me of Hermitcraft, I definitely got to, the traps and the end crystals, it was different—
—
Goodtimeswithscar: I probably wouldn’t have if I’d known I’d be so lonely. Given out the lives or died, I mean. But, you know, that’s just how life works! Or, I guess, death?
—
Shadowlady: Look, what if you changed the question? Then I might be willing to answer.
[unintelligable]
Shadowlady: …you know, I don’t know. I think it was worth it? Sure they all betrayed me, and I died, but for a little bit there it was nice, wasn’t it? I’ve never been a Shadow Queen before!
[unintelligable]
Shadowlady: Was dying worth it?
Shadowlady: Well, now you’re asking stupid questions again. It’s not like I was planning on it.
—
Impulse: Absolutely not. The dying part, I mean. Everything leading up to it was worth it, though. Honestly I don’t regret much, I guess? Wish I’d seen Scott to block the shots, but…
Impulse: I’m not sure I’d call it worth it? Man, now I’m just upset I died! Hahaha.
—
Solidarity: I mean, I guess if the point was to try, which I did, then… maybe? The death wouldn’t be the part that made it worth it, right? The trying would.
Solidarity: I think I tried pretty hard, honestly. Maybe that’s worth it? I don’t want to think about if it’s not.
—
Bigbst4tz2: No, it wasn’t worth it.
Bigbst4tz2: Oh, you mean dying. I guess I haven’t thought about it. Probably not?
Bigbst4tz2: Or wait, do you mean the game? I mean, I guess I met people I like, so sure, that was worth it. It was everything else that wasn’t.
—
[unintelligable]
Bdoubleo: Shut up, I’m thinking.
[unintelligable]
Bdoubleo: Look, I get it, I get it! If I don’t got regrets, then it’s all worth it, right? But I didn’t actually get back to him, is the thing! So like, can you call that worth it?
Bdoubleo: Just because I don’t regret it doesn’t mean I think it was good!
[unintelligable]
Bdoubleo: Oh, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! It’s not about whether it’s worth it in the end at all!
—
Mumbo: Oh, I mean, sure? I’m still mad Grian killed me, but frankly, I lived longer than I thought I would! I just wish I’d managed… Oh, it was a pretty bad way to go, thinking about it. He’s my friend. I guess I thought differently than him.
Mumbo: Maybe next time I’ll join him if he offers. That would have been different, wouldn’t it have?
—
Tango: I guess it’s just all really pointless, isn’t it? Yeah, that’s my answer. It was all pointless. Final answer. You can’t make me take it back. Pointless.
—
Skizzleman: I don’t know, man. I don’t think I have an answer. I did what I could.
Skizzleman: Next time I think I’m out for myself though. No more Team BEST! I’ve just gotta figure out how to be mean, first.
—
Bdoubleo: I think the point was, well, him. Don’t tell Etho.
—
Goodtimeswithscar: I’d try it again, I think, but that’s not my decision anymore. As much as I’d like, it’s not my story to tell, now is it? Nope! End of the story for me.
Goodtimeswithscar: So, you know, I think the living get to decide what the point of it all was. Why don’t you go bother them instead of us. Leave the dead to be all dead, and all that.
Goodtimeswithscar: We don’t have anything left to say.
