John Egbert, Roxy Lalonde, Terezi Pyrope
Act 6, page 7027-7037
JOHN: what?
ROXY: have you ever seen your denizen?
JOHN: no.
JOHN: well... i almost did once.
ROXY: what happened
JOHN: i was tricked into going to see him early.
JOHN: by a blind prankstress who shall remain nameless.
TEREZI: >:\
JOHN: but at the last minute, i was talked out of it by a pal from the future.
JOHN: i wasn't ready to see him yet.
JOHN: i would have died if i did.
ROXY: k
ROXY: but like
ROXY: what if u are now
JOHN: what if i'm what?
ROXY: ready
ROXY: i mean
ROXY: if nows not the right time
ROXY: then when even would be
JOHN: i guess you have a point.
JOHN: would that...
JOHN: actually accomplish anything though?
ROXY: dunno man im just spitballin here
ROXY: they are supposed to be these ginormous monsters that you either fight...
ROXY: or you listen to their riddles and they help solve all ur problems or something
ROXY: arent they?
JOHN: uh.
JOHN: more or less?
JOHN: i think their purpose is a bit more mysterious than that, and i guess more, like... majestic?
ROXY: majestic???
JOHN: i don't know!
JOHN: i'm probably not the best guy to ask about denizens. jade met hers, but she's...
JOHN: a sprite could explain it better than me. didn't you ever talk to your sprite about them?
ROXY: nah
ROXY: me and fefeta never talked much about that stuff
ROXY: we mainly traded lame puns n talked about our shitty love lives
JOHN: you did?
JOHN: wow, what kind of sprite did you even have??
ROXY: :(
JOHN: er, never mind.
JOHN: i did not mean to touch upon yet another sad subject.
JOHN: anyway, maybe you're right, and my denizen could help me with these problems.
JOHN: but at the same time...
JOHN: there are SO MANY problems!
JOHN: even if i learned to control my powers better, we would STILL have to deal with all this glitchy bullshit!
JOHN: i could zap around and fix everything, but if it's all still garbled, how would i even know it was fixed?!
JOHN: maybe you were right, roxy.
JOHN: what if it's all too much to overcome this time, even for typheus?
TEREZI: 1 H4V3 H34RD 3NOUGH!
TEREZI: JOHN, YOU H4V3 SL4ND3R3D OUR TROLL M4L3S 4S W33N13S

JOHN: oh.
JOHN: ...
TEREZI: WH4T?
JOHN: i mean, even though everything in this timeline is about as shitty as it gets...
JOHN: that still seems kinda sad.
ROXY: yeah
ROXY: i think them is just the breaks dude
JOHN: i guess so.
JOHN: what do you think you will do with the time you have left?
ROXY: ummmm
ROXY: idk shit around all melancholy for a spell
ROXY: question my life choices
ROXY: probly bury my mom somewhere in the desert
ROXY: give her a quick funeral
ROXY: says goodbye to her an everything else
ROXY: and then
ROXY: curl up into a ball
ROXY: and wait to unexist?
JOHN: holy shit that's the saddest thing i've ever heard!
JOHN: argh, why'd you even have to tell me that!
ROXY: hey u asked
JOHN: no, that sucks!
JOHN: don't do that.
ROXY: meh why not
JOHN: because it's stupid plan for crappy idiots.
ROXY: j f C what a burn
ROXY: i think i might cease to exist just from that burn
JOHN: yes, laugh at my truly sick burn if you must, but everyone's getting on my case for being so defeatist, and THAT'S the best plan you can come up with?
ROXY: i didnt get on your case for being defeatist tho
ROXY: i was actin tons more defeatist than u on account of the emotions from my moms tragic corpse
ROXY: the trolls been the one bustin your windsock remember
TEREZI: 1T'S TRU3
TEREZI: 1 H4V3 B33N DO1NG TH4T
JOHN: yeah, i just think...
JOHN: no matter who's going to stop existing when, if i do something proactive, then you should too!
JOHN: even if only on principle.
ROXY: .....
ROXY: such as?
JOHN: why don't you go see your denizen too?
ROXY: wat
JOHN: that's your denizen there, isn't it?
ROXY: no thats a statue
JOHN: yes, i know it's a statue.
JOHN: i mean, it is a depiction of her, right?
ROXY: oh
ROXY: yeh
JOHN: so if i'm going to see mine, why don't you go see yours too?
ROXY: go see nix...
ROXY: why
JOHN: why not!
ROXY: cause im not the hero with the magic "fix literally everything" powers that need masterin
JOHN: no, but you still have things to learn, don't you?
JOHN: did you ever make that spike ball?
ROXY: um no
ROXY: but what would even be the point of that anymore
JOHN: i dunno.
JOHN: it's just a thing you were going to set your mind to, but haven't done yet.
JOHN: just like i said i was going to get that magic ring so you can give it to your friend. remember that?
ROXY: yeah
JOHN: i haven't done that yet either.
JOHN: but that doesn't mean i have to give up on that idea.
JOHN: what if, after i see my denizen...
JOHN: what if i could still do that?
ROXY: ...
JOHN: i'm just saying, you have no idea what there is to learn from her.
JOHN: maybe finding out what there is to learn is most of what there is to learn?
JOHN: what if making alien spike balls is only the beginning of understanding your powers?
JOHN: what if she can help you channel some sort of incredible... voidey thing?
ROXY: voidy thing
JOHN: yes, like a windy thing, but with void instead of wind.
ROXY: whats a windy thing
JOHN: a windy thing is obviously a bunch of damn wind blowing around!
ROXY: soo
ROXY: ur saying she can teach me to make void blow around
JOHN: no!
JOHN: i didn't mean it that literally.
JOHN: i mean, maybe something more abstract? like, i dunno...
JOHN: learn to phase out of reality, and somehow preserve yourself in the void, even if i alter history...
JOHN: so that maybe when the time is right, you can just... pop back into reality?
ROXY: wow
ROXY: u rly think she can tell me how to do that
JOHN: i have no idea!
JOHN: i'm just saying...
JOHN: who knows?
ROXY: not to be a wet windsock john but that sounds far fetched as heck
JOHN: ok, yes, probably.
JOHN: it just feels shitty leaving you here to have a sad funeral, and then stop existing.
ROXY: sometimes john
ROXY: u just gotta throw a sad funeral for ur dead teen mom and then stop existing
ROXY: LE SHRUG
JOHN: le shrug my LA BUTT!
JOHN: i'm not going to see my denizen unless you agree to see yours.
JOHN: that is the deal, and that's final.
