[This is the first time Komeada has used the network to broadcast anything himself. He's smiling, though that's pretty typical for him, but there's a slight awkwardness to it.]

It would seem that by happenstance I've become a father.

[He sighs deeply, it is a rather purposeful sigh.]

I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do now though. I've been trying to look up information on how to go about it but the recourses are a bit lacking.

Biology was never really something I looked too deeply into. It seems a bit unlucky to be burdened by this so suddenly.

[He brightens at the next part though.]

However, I guess it is a rather lucky encounter to be bestowed a life to nurture!

Even though I was assaulted and insulted in the process.

[He sighs again, this one more genuine.]

Now I feel rather tired. So... yes, if someone could please help me, I don't really have enough stamina left to try and figure this out right now.

[And he does look rather drawn and tired. Paler than usual.]

[ That's when Undyne makes her grand appearance in the video feed, but not before setting off any number of crashes and explosions in the background? Did half the base just go up in flames? Sure sounds like it, but that's hardly important. Anyway... ]

What's up, buttmunches?! I'm a MOM now and if any of you losers even THINK about coming near MY egg-- [ She will fight Komaeda for it for custody!! Except not really. She'll share, just very badly, because that's Undyne. BUT EVERYONE ELSE STAY AWAY. ] --I'll make you regret it!

SO STAY AWAY FROM MY EGG!

[ A beat, and then: ] Oh! And uh... stay outta the Void, okay? It's too dangerous out there for you nerds.

Ah, you're the second person to say something like that.

And though it's greatly appreciated, it's far more hopeful to accept my place in the world. And since my life is so insignificant, and of such little worth, it means that I can be an easy sacrifice for hope whenever it's needed!

[This is so bizarre.]

Wait, what if your role isn't as a sacrifice?

Of course it is, that way my life will have meant something.

[Wow his self-worth is worse than Jake's. How does he even handle that?]

Have you considered that maybe your life does mean something else or... maybe, well, it will mean something else? You can have hope for the future for everyone, including yourself. If you're trash, um, well, doggone it, it's even more important that you get to have hope for yourself. People need to be supported.

[ By convincing himself it was somehow a positive trait. ]

Alas there's undeniable evidence of it. An existance that does nothing but cause inconveniences is hardly worth while. And, where it comes to thinking of potentials in the future, there just isn't enough time. No, the only clear answer is that such a useless person should do the only thing they're good for and do what they can to enable hope. I don't mind dying at all, so it's a perfect cost! My hope is strong so when that moment comes my luck will definitely make a scenerio where I can make the most impact for the future and everyone!

I mind you dying! I mind people dying in general. No one has to die for it to work.

[Ig...nore... Homestuck game mechanics.]

But what if death is inevitable soon anyway? Isn't it better to offer a short worthless life for the greater good?

Death is a powerful thing, and it really can't be ignored what it comes up as a choice. More often than not it will become the necessity. After all, we all die eventually.

[Well that's... something.]

Accepting death doesn't sound like the most hopeful thing to me. If you could, I think struggling to live and beating death until it's impossible is much more satisfying.

Sometimes that's a far more hopeless reality. The world can be unfair and cruel after all.

I believe in hope, but there's still only so much an individual can do against the realities of the world. Which is why I'm fine being just a stepping stone towards an accumulated greater hope.

Hmm... well, I guess we can agree to disagree but I'm going to keep on eye on you to make sure you don't hurt yourself.

I don't particularly plan on hurting myself. But, I'm alright if things happen that might hurt me. You shouldn't concern yourself too much in fact... if you're not careful you might get caught up in something that might hurt you.

I'm not worried about myself. I'll be fine. I've lived through worse.

[And. Died... But hey he's alive.]

What if you died? I'm perfectly fine if I die, or if the death has a purpose, but it's not good to just let yourself be a casualty or a cost. I would feel troubled if a perfectly kind acquaintance suddenly died in an accident.

Edited 2016-10-02 05:24 (UTC)

Uh, well, most deaths won't stick. So don't worry too much.

Still the pain and just....

[ Wait, what? ]

How!?

Oh, um, well... I'm immortal. Or close enough to it.

That's....

[ What? ]

What do you mean by close enough?

Edited 2016-10-02 05:44 (UTC)

[Jake squirms a little. It would be easier if he could just explain it fully but...]

I can die. But it's really unlikely to happen? It's pretty specific circumstances.

Hmmm....

[He seems to be considering something.]

If they're extremely specific then... perhaps.... Perhaps it can't happen through luck....

[He frowns a little seeming to think some more and then suddenly smiles brightly.]

That's amazing! That's an amazing talent!

Can I see you in person?

In person? Uhm, well, gosh, I guess so! I don't think I did anything that amazing.

Wonderful!

[He was really happy, this moment was making him feel really happy. It was like a flip of a coin.]

Though, right now I'm pre engaged. Perhaps I can meet you properly after I go on my trip with Hinata kun. I'm sure a day or two will be fine.

[He made going to the med bay sound like some kind of vacation.]

[It sounds like a nice vacation with Hinata?]

Sure thing. I'm not hard to wrangle if you want to pal around. I'm not terribly interesting though I assure you.

If anyone is uninteresting it's me. Such a lowly existence such as mine wouldn't be anywhere near the potential of someone who can possibly defy fate. In fact to meet such a person is truly pure and utter amazing luck!

[It would definitely be a few days till he was going anywhere though. Really, don't go into the ocean for several hours if you have the constitution of wet cardboard.]

[Komaeda really is unbelievable.]

I-If you insist. I'll try to do something special for when you see me, then.

[He's thinking like. Coffee. With delicious chocolate in it. That's special.]

Edited 2016-10-04 05:01 (UTC)

Please don't go out of your way for someone such as me, but, if you really wish to, and really want to, for yourself, I can't really argue with it.

[ His tone was soft and cheerful, he was even smiling. ]

I'll message you after I can leave the med bay.
