savetheearth | Text > Video | discussion of parent death

Let's set the scene here.

Bridge. Late night. Green full moon.

Six year old alone in the backseat of a car. Front seat? Two coffins.

Giant explosion. Car destroyed. Boy not destroyed. Coffins in car probably destroyed. 90% chance of coffin destruction.

Giant monster. Robot teenage girl fighting monster. Robot girl losing.

Robot girl stuffs giant monster into six year old. How? Fuck if I know.

Moon stops being green. Bridge is on fire. Car is on fire. Six year old is not on fire.

[Video flashes on. Matt's hanging around LCU's campus. It's pretty dead since it's only summer sessions and he's not by the library or anything. He'd come to pick something up, and... Well, the walk here had been eventful. He should drive more, as attested to the scrape on his cheek. He's a lucky kid.

That aside, he looks... not very amused.]

So if we're playing the crazy echoes game anymore, I think I'm winning. [He laughs a little, covering his face with his hand in sheer exhaustion.] Coffins in a car? You know what the craziest shit about this is?

I seriously think I just watched Minato's parents die. That's... that's some fucked up kind of thing to show a guy. And that... thing. That monster.

[And Matt completely freezes. And then he laughs. And it's not a good laugh--it's a kind of crazy, kind of broken laugh.]

No wonder he had to die. That thing inside of him... [And then his laughter just completely stops and he drops the phone he's recording on. That thing. That thing looks so similar to Thanatos. And Thanatos... Thanatos is Phillip. His friend. He curls himself up where he sits, resting his head on his knees and the video just shows the summer sky.]

Let's just pretend. This never happened.

Uh...okay then? And how did that go?

Oh good, there's someone there already! Then I'll just have check up on you some other time! Glad to hear you got a friend running around, you better thank him!

I don't want him around.

[Way to be a grouch, Matt.]

Oh c'mon!

He's being a really good friend right now! Like I said before, no one wants to be alone so just spend a little time with him!

Or else I'm coming over there too!

I don't see why you guys are freaking out about me wanting to be alone t think for a while.

Well, when you make a post like that, of course people are going to worry about you! Even if you want to alone for a little bit, that won’t stop me or anyone else from worrying despite what you say!

We’re your friends so we’re just wondering how you’re holding up.

I'm holding up just fine. I've had worse echoes.

Yeah but still though! That still won’t stop us from worrying about you, Matt!

Looks like you’re stuck with us whether you like it or not! You know how that one Queen song goes?

Is this the real life?

You know which one! The one that goes

You're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true~ ♪

But not going to lie, that does make me want to sing Bohemian Rhapsody

There is no one you can say "that one Queen song" to and they're not immediately going to assume you're talking about Bohemian Rhapsody.

[What was that about changing the subject?]

Well, there are a lot of other Queen songs that we can talk about! Yeah, that’s their most famous song but still!

There are still a lot of others, it would be rude not to talk about them!

[And Abby still haven’t caught on just yet]

You know personally, I've always liked Killer Queen. If it's rude to not talk about other songs.

Killer Queen?

How does it go again? I don’t think I remember it too well?

Otherwise, it might as well be a song about a Killer Queen!

I am really disappointed in you.

Well excuse me that I don’t know all the Queen songs! I just only know some here!

I’m not an expert, I’m just a poor girl where apparently nobody loves me!

I am saying this as your boss.

Your mission is to spend the next six hours on the Queen youtube page and listen to as much as you can.

Seriously?

Then what other songs should I be subjected to, oh big boss of mine?

All of them. Every single one you can fit into six hours. Hurry or you'll be up until 3AM. I'm a kind boss until you disobey my orders.

Fine, fine.

But I better get something in return for doing this, Matt!

[That and she can always go on the wiki to save some time]

Anything you want within reason.

Hm…

Give me some junk food and you'll be set!

Whatever you say, Princess.

Princess? Really?

Oh and I have one more request! Remember when I said something about a giant snowman coming after me a while ago? Could you draw that for me? Pretty please~?

You said it first.

Under normal circumstances I would say yes, but as it's a reward, I'll instead explain that I can't draw for shit.

I did? Well, it would be nice if I was though. Or at least something special like that.

But c’mon! Pretty please? With cherries on top? And some whipped cream too?
