[puppetpocalypse]

What the flying fuck? Christ on Merlin's beard, that seriously happened.

[The voice sounds exasperated, yet somehow chill. Bro isn't sure whether to be upset or not at the moment.]

I'd recommend not trying to apparate. It kind of leads to some really awkward times.

Unless you like dying. Than by all means, go ahead and try at it to your hearts content. I'm pretty sure I'm missing some time, though.

...dying?

[puppetpocalypse]

[There's a pause. A long pause.] Theodore?

[stoppedhiding]

[ Bro's pause was downright short compared to this one. ]

Who are you?

[puppetpocalypse]

[That really throws him off. Why wouldn't the other recognize him?]

What do you mean? We went to school together. We teach at said damned school.

[stoppedhiding]

[ Ah, so just a case of mistaken identity, it seems. With a really weird coincidence thrown into the mix. ]

You've mistaken me for somebody else. I'm sorry.

[puppetpocalypse]

You sound exactly like him.

[But he guesses he can't push it if the other doesn't seem to recognize him at all.

That kind of pangs him a bit. Theodore was someone he cared about a lot.]

[stoppedhiding]

I apologize for the confusion.

[ A beat. But he can't exactly go nameless around here. ] My name is Golbez. And you are?

[puppetpocalypse]

It's fine I guess. It would just have been nice for familiar people.

I- [He stops completely.] What? Why are you using that name?

[stoppedhiding]

Mm, I suppose.

... [ Because he no longer lays claim to the name he was born with. Because he has no right to distance himself from the atrocities he committed under the name Golbez. ] Why do you ask?

[fracturedsoul]

Bro? Please tell me that's you.

[puppetpocalypse]

Why wouldn't it be? Is some bloody wanker parading about pretending to be me?

[fracturedsoul]

Kind of? Some chick's going around calling herself Sis Strider and sayin' she's Dave's older sister. But not mine, apparently.

Funny thing is, I don't even think she's lying.

[puppetpocalypse]

Bloody hell. [This place was getting more bizarre. First, he can't apparate apparently. Now this? What's going on.]

I can't see why they'd lie about something like this. But what exactly are we playing around with then? Does that mean we're going to have to deal with iterations where Dave isn't apparently our brother?

[fracturedsoul]

I don't know. There's a Jake here who says I apparently chopped off my own head right before he arrived, too, so I guess anything's possible.

...speaking of which, you... said you died? But you're right here.

[puppetpocalypse]

What. [Hahaha. Holy shit, what. That's a thing that's happened? This place is dumb.]

It's the only logical thing I can consider. I don't know what's been happening between the time I tried and now. It kind of all happened pretty quickly.

[fracturedsoul]

You did. I saw your body. [ He'd kind of been holding out for it being some other universe's version of Bro. Around here, that's apparently not too unlikely. ]

Looks like that ain't even a thing, though. Where are you?

[puppetpocalypse]

Fuck. Kid, I'm sorry. I didn't think this was even going to happen. [It's not like they were told they can't even teleport within the city or whatever.]

I'm not sure. I've been looking around. If you tell me a place, I can find it though.

[smupette]

Who the flying fuck are you?

[Also hahahahahhaha you died. That's really hilarious.]

[puppetpocalypse]

Who the bloody fuck wants to know?

[Haha, you're laughing for now, but wait till you figure out who he is.]

[smupette]

I was just wondering who I should be laughing at, this is more amusing than you're going to find it to be.

[She'll keep laughing too. Shit won't get serious for now.]

[puppetpocalypse]

I'm not really interested in giving my name to some harlot who doesn't take this seriously.

[Whatever. He just doesn't think too highly of her if she finds death funny.]

[smupette]

[She just makes light of the situation. She's already a dead woman when she goes home.]

Harlot? I'm glad you don't think I'm taking your situation seriously, that's incorrect.

[puppetpocalypse]

[They aren't quite desensitized to the concept in the Wizarding world.]

Bull shit.

[smupette]

[She isn't quite disconnected from Rakuen. Where death was a common thing.]

It's better to make light of it, than to drag your feet around over it.

[puppetpocalypse]

[It doesn't help that someone back home could die simply by a spell and Bro saw a lot of that when was much too young. He highly respects the dead, so this entire conversation really annoys him.]

You must come from some fucked up alternate world if death isn't respected as it should be.
