The Ultimate Hubworld

Tired: How do we actually know which one is real: the world we are in right now or the one we see when we are dreaming.

Dance Dance Baby: …no offence Weary, but it is currently three in the morning

Tired: I am aware of that.

Dance Dance Baby: Would it be possible to continue this tomorrow?

Something’s Fishy: I’m not sleeping yet, so I can stay for a bit

Tired: Or what if they both are just as real. The same, but different.

Something’s Fishy: Well if that’s true, at least I am stuck with the shittier option here haha

Dance Dance Baby: Are you having just a normal existential crisis or is something troubling you?

Something’s Fishy: You mean me or Weary?

Dance Dance Baby: You, my dear; Weary IS an existential crisis

Something’s Fishy: Dunno for sure. Don’t worry about it, you can go back to sleep

Dance Dance Baby: I am already awake now, so I might as well listen what you have on your mind

Something’s Fishy: It’s just… Dama has been really making progress with the psychokinetic training lately and it made me realize that we actually, truly can make the trip to the ocean some day

Something’s Fishy: So far it has been just a silly dream, but now it starts to seem like it will happen for real someday

Dance Dance Baby: Isn’t that exactly what you have wished for so long?

Something’s Fishy: Yeah, but, like… This lake has been my home for most of my life. The seals here are like a family to me. How can I even explain to them that I will be just… Gone one day? It’s not like I actually speak their language

~oceanchild~: so sad that i can’t come there

~oceanchild~: i know how to talk to animals

Dance Dance Baby: Hello Song! Hasn’t your bedtime passed six or so hours ago?

Something’s Fishy: Hi Song. And yeah, that would be convenient

~oceanchild~: oh i’m at a completely different time zone than my home right now

~oceanchild~: it’s daytime here

Dance Dance Baby: Ah, I see

Something’s Fishy: Then there’s also the fact that I don’t actually know anything about the ocean. Or heck, even other Vetehi! I barely remember my parents, I have no idea where they could be, and I don’t have a clue where I should start looking

Dance Dance Baby: That is indeed somewhat troublesome. But maybe things start sorting themselves out when you actually get to the ocean first?

Something’s Fishy: But what if they don’t? I’m not sure, but I really feel like territories might be a thing with our kind. What if I have to fight others to even get a chance to be or eat somewhere?

Dance Dance Baby: Hmm. I think you have said that humans of your world don’t seem to know a lot about Vetehi, mostly even thinking you guys are just a myth? That would strongly suggest that Vetehi are more or less rare, so I doubt that every corner of the ocean is filled to the brim with your species

~oceanchild~: oceans are also really really really big

~oceanchild~: there are a ton of places where you can swim for days without meeting anyone else than a few fishes

Dance Dance Baby: It must be taken into consideration that Song’s oceans aren’t the exact same as your, but as my world’s seas are also incredibly vast, it should be safe to assume so are yours

Dance Dance Baby: So even if it means you might be having hard time locating your childhood family, at least you will also have enough space to avoid places you feel like you shouldn’t venture into

Something’s Fishy: Yeah, I guess

Something’s Fishy: It’s just so hard for me to imagine it. Here I know literally every corner of this whole lake system and I can identify pretty much each individual seal and stuff like that

Something’s Fishy: But oh well, enough about that. Thanks for listening my ramblings, guys

Dance Dance Baby: Don’t worry about it! And don’t forget that even when you get to the ocean, all of us are still just an IM message away!

~oceanchild~: oh but the signal can get really bad when you are far away from land

Something’s Fishy: Thanks, I try to remember both of those things

Something’s Fishy: Ah, now I’m starting to feel a bit embarrassed about all that, hah

Something’s Fishy: Anapha, don’t you ever spend sleepless nights worrying about stupid things?

Dance Dance Baby: Me? How come?

Something’s Fishy: It’s just that you seem always so cool and collected. No one can be like that all the time

Dance Dance Baby: What can I say; I am just a simple person spending simple life. There’s not much for me to worry about

Tired: That is not true.

Dance Dance Baby: Excuse me?

Something’s Fishy: Weary? :0 Do you know something we don’t?

Dance Dance Baby: Weary is just being Weary. Who even knows what he is talking about most of the time

Something’s Fishy: Well yeah… Sometimes I wonder if he is like this also in real life

~oceanchild~: he sure is

~oceanchild~: and that’s why I like him

Something’s Fishy: Haha yeah. It would actually be pretty weird if he someday actually explained his thoughts in a way that made some sense

Dance Dance Baby: Anyway, I think it would be good for all of us to get some sleep right about now

Something’s Fishy: And it has absolutely nothing to do with how Weary is just about to reveal your dark, secret past to us?

Dance Dance baby: Of course not! Besides you know everything there is to know about my past already

Something’s Fishy: I guess. Being an orphan is already plenty dark

~oceanchild~: but we don’t know what happened to his parents

Dance Dance Baby: That’s just because I don’t know even myself! I was so young when I was brought to the temple that I don’t have any memories of it

Dance Dance Baby: But like I said, it is definitely time to sleep!

Dance Dance Baby: Good night everyone!

Something’s Fishy: Well alright, nighty night then!

~oceanchild~: still a day in here, but sweet dreams to all of you! o/

THE OMEN: THE END IS DRAWING CLOSER

Something’s Fishy: D8 HUH?!

Dance Dance Baby: Wait, what?

~oceanchild~: oh wow, you are valva right?

Something’s Fishy: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!

Something’s Fishy: You think I will sleep at all after this?!

Something’s Fishy: Good gods almighty, I’m diving to the bottom of this puddle in one, two… Aaaand I’m gone

Dance Dance Baby: This night has certainly been… Something
