I'm More Me When I'm With You

Of Politics and Men

Once Tommy stopped chasing Phil, they got to talking about (somewhat) more important stuff. "Wait, you guys weren't talking about political shit were you," Tommy interrupts, having not payed attention to anything anyone has said. Deo quickly says no and moves on. Huh. Tommy would call that sus, in fact he could call Deo sus for that.
         "Since you've mentioned not paying attention," Deo pauses, then redirects his question to Emerald Duo, " is there perhaps a therapist of any kind on this server?" Techno remembers Puffy mentioning a therapist one way or another, but only in a passing conversation. "I think... Puffy- Captain Puffy, that is, is a therapist," Techno finally speaks up.
     "However," Phil continues, "it's meant for those who need help and actually want help."
"Meaning...," Tommy swirls his hand around like an Italian, or so he thinks it's the way Italians do it. "Meaning that the patient has to admit themselves voluntarily. They have to go to Puffy and schedule appointments of their own free will," Deo explains in an almost defeated manner.
      "So if I scheduled therapy appointments with Puffy...," Tommy trailed off, ideas starting to form in his head. It's almost like you could hear the gears and cogs turning in his mind. "We'd have to work it past Dream, and the whole you being exiled bit. I don't think he'd allow visitors would he, even if they were doctors," Deo finished for him.
      The platonic couple stare into the others eyes before simultaneously going, "same braincell," and nodding their head as they do so. Needless to say, Phil is slightly scared of today's youth. Only a little. Techno however, is confused. How can these two idiots be so smart yet so dumb? It's an oxymoron, a contradiction in every sense of the word, especially within itself.
        Tommy and Deo continue to spout ideas at each other, writing some down and drawing out how they would work if they were to actually act on them. Truly a power couple, if any were to see these two doing...whatever they're doing anymore.
     Tommy looks at the sky, noticing the time is nearing dusk, he motions for Deo to stand. They both bid their goodbyes, and close their book of plans. Or a "Planning Book" as they'd like to call it.

    Heading home however, Tommy ushers Deo to stop for a while, to watch the sunset. You think it's a cute little date thing? No, the conversation was more like, "Sunsets are just Sunrises in reverse... or perhaps it's the other way around. Deo, your thoughts?" Deo sighs, and, because he loves his sunflower, gave him an honest answer. "I honestly have no clue what drugs you did to come up with either of those ideas, but I want you to stop talking like a character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
    "I thought it was 'Alice in Wonderland," Tommy replies. "No, that's the movie versions of the classic tale. The book that said movies were based on, is called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," Deo recalls reading it once to a child in one of the villages of EarthSMP, while Tommy and Bitzel did the diplomatic work. "Alright then. Lets head off now, before all the mobs appear and y'know, try to kill us," Tommy calls as he dusts his shorts off.
