"DISBURB"

-guardingCosmos [GC] began pestering ancientGrammarian [AG]-

AG: GC? You changed your handle again.

GC: I'm telling you

GC: You shouldn't go through with this

GC: It's bad for us all

AG: Oh. You're not GC. Augh, I should've guessed, it was kinda obvious.

AG: Oh well.

AG: You should probably stop using her acronym since it's a liiiittle misleading.

GC: It doesn't matter

GC: Stop changing the subject

GC: You've procured a copy of the game haven't you

AG: Uh, yeah.

AG: I'd say I dug it up, but you apparently already know that?

AG: You seem to know a lot about me and my friends, it's weird.

GC: You are deliberately derailing me again

GC: Can't you see

GC: I'm trying to protect you and your world from your demise

GC: It is my unfortunate duty

AG: Unfortunate? Meaning you don't want to "save our lives"?

AG: If that's what this is all about anyways but I'm not exactly inclined to believe you.

GC: That's not quite what I meant

GC: I'm trying to save you but it's difficult

GC: Especially since looking at all the facts you probably won't be saved

GC: Though "looking" is a loaded word that perhaps shouldn't be used in my case

GC: But I digress

AG: ... Yeah, you lost me.

AG: Listen, I appreciate the sentiment. Or, at least, I think I do.

AG: But I don't understand how you keep bothering me when every time we've had this conversation, I've blocked you.

AG: You're interesting, and I don't like blocking you, but it's still creepy how you know so much and I've assumed it's for the best to keep the creepy guys away.

AG: You know how it is.

GC: Actually I don't

GC: Please just listen!

AG: I'm really sorry about this man.

AG: But not today.

AG: There's too much I'm doing today, and I don't want to be distracted.

AG: Maybe I'll see you around?

GC: Wait

You sigh, closing the chat log. It always pains you a bit to leave this poor guy hanging. You have no idea what he's – she's? come to think of it, you're not quite sure – harping on about all the time what with this "impending doom" nonsense, and he sure does know a lot about you and your friends, but he seems to mean well, at any rate.

But meaning well isn't enough, and today is a very important day for you and your friends. Like you told this "guardingCosmos" stranger, you've got a shit ton of important things to do today, most of which involves the unveiling of the incredible piece of history you dug up recently. Sometimes your friends laugh at you with your various archaeological finds – finding their histories dubious – but most don't, and the rest mostly refrain from doing so. It's why they're your friends, after all, among other reasons.

Well, enough dillydallying. You've got quite a few things to be getting on with!

Whoever you are.

ancientGrammarian: Introduce yourself.
