[ Time for a lesson. Did you know that the Bracers can access some videos? There's like...a knockoff Netflix. Probably ask Lucas or Ms. Zarves about it. The point is, that exists, and the network can access it!

Fun, huh? ]

"Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Video)" (Watch on YouTube)

[ ...So that happened and it's almost all that happened, but a bit of text accompanies it, like: ]


By the way I think I accidentally started a death cult in Lyrabar, please don't freak out this time I swear I have it handled and am not crazy

[ ...Yeah that's it that's the post. ]

[You know, he was planning on avoiding Alex, for at least a little while, for a variety of reasons. The inane video is inexplicable, but easy enough to ignore. That little aside, however...]

You did what?

TEXT response

[rockymountaindie]

[ Usually he switches to what other people use to be courteous. ...This is the man who killed him, so. ]

A death cult
I was just asking some questions and suddenly some assholes started following me around like I invented sliced bread
Good job not being dead btw

still audio because fuck you as well

[snyaiper]

[That's fair and Alex is valid. if Ogata notices he doesn't comment on it, though.

He wasn't gonna bring up the near death experience but fine, lets dance.]
Make no mistake, it was truly despite my best efforts. I can't think of any memory I would really mind forgetting.

[Aaand switching topics as if he thinks he can just dodge saying something as crazy as that;]
I suppose idiots travel in packs. You're just the king idiot, now. What exactly makes this a death cult? Are they prepared to die as soon as you tell them it's their time? Or are they going around killing people in your name?
[Both would be hilarious, frankly.]

[eudaimonikos]

Oh my god, what the hell? Where did you get that?

[Michael's laughing a little, despite himself, and yeah this is clearly not at all about the death cult]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Okay, for Michael he will switch to audio, especially because- ]

It- there's a...a thing, on the...like a, an instant Blockbuster thing. Will wouldn't tell me 'bout why it was important.

[ Because, months ago, from a restaurant in Lyrabar, Willard H. Wright rickrolled you through a teenager. ]

[eudaimonikos]

That bastard. Surprised they had that in his office.

[The Bad Place had rickrolling, for a while. It was actually one of the more harmless things they had - constant and inescapable, a never-ending labyrinth of Rick Astley, but not actually dangerous.

When his amusement fades, Michael's usual sickening guilt regarding Alex does catch back up to him. But it's a little easier to bear, when they were just talking about Rickrolls of all things. Anyways, it would be even more awkward if he swapped to text like he wants.]

Uh, so...a cult?

audio, un: katoptris

[katopissed]

[ flatly: ]

Please don't bring the death cult into our room.

[rockymountaindie]

[ Distressed: ]

Th- they're topside, I'm not gonna bring a death cult to the moon!!

[ Alex wonders what he did to deserve a snarky teenage girl as a roommate. He's a snarky teenage boy, this was the worst possible idea. ]

[katopissed]

I don't know how you plan to handle it!

[ rip both of them tbh ]

I have met a lot of boys who would handle a death cult in very different ways.

[philoxenia]

Are you okay? How do you accidentally--?

[rockymountaindie]

I just asked a question, I don't know!

[ Mira met a very composed Alex. This is much more his default form. ]

- It's fine. It's- don't worry about it, it's fine.

[philoxenia]

[ Don't worry, says Alex. She already failed step one. Unfortunate. ]

A-alright well... [ He said he handled it and she has no reason to doubt him, so-- Deep breath? Deep breath. ] At least it's been handled, that's-- that's good.

[petsthedog]

[So here's a fun fact. Rickrolling took off around 2007 according to knowyourmeme dot com, which also just so happens to be the last year before Shinjiro made himself homeless. So like, the freshest meme experience in his mind?? is this???]

uuuuuugh no
not this again
i'll literally take the death cult over this

[Okay maybe not literally. But he's going to be an overdramatic teenager about it anyway.]

1/2

[rockymountaindie]

Wow
I really don't see how a song could be that bad

2/2

[rockymountaindie]

[ immediately, an internal unending scream, and just- ]

never mind i take it back
that was a stupid thing to say, songs can be bad

[gotyourbach]

(　ﾟДﾟ)＜!!
Are you ok???

[rockymountaindie]

I was never gonna get away with just saying don't worry about it, it's fine, huh?
Yeah, I'm okay
They didn't hurt me or anything, just freaked me out

text, un: azfell; blanket apology in advance

[eastofeden]

Ehat a delightfil song! I love it!

[ oh no Aziraphale has discovered exclamation points in his ongoing forays into texting about abort ]

Tell me would it be possible to share it with someone else? I suppose I mean both is there a2 y to share it directly and also may I have your permission to do so?

[ apparently not commas, though, weird ]

holy shit

[rockymountaindie]

[ What.

No, really, what. ]

Sure man, knock yourself out
You can just pull it up on your bracer, I sure don't have ownership of it

@goldenbadass

[epistemologies]

[Ssssomeone has never heard this song before. This means the post is taken Entirely at face value.]

if uh
if you're trying to confess to someone, death cults might not be the best way to follow that up?

[rockymountaindie]

What???
No, why would I be trying to do that, that'd be stupid to do like this
Also I don't feel like that about anyone here

Voice

[unrecovered]

[Wash has a joke or several to make about Rickrolling, given that the meme is 500 years old where he's from and still going strong. He hits record before he reads the rest of the post, takes a moment or two to read it, and-]

[...]

[There's a few seconds of recorded silence as Wash tries to gather his thoughts and ultimately fails.]

...what?

[Very helpful of him.]

[rockymountaindie]

[ He's never getting out of this, is he. Never.

Alex answers with some awkwardness, considering all this. ]

What what, what part of it?

[ ...He can pretend. ]
