The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Dream stopped by.
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: WHAT?!
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Nothing happened. He didn't see Theseus. Kid walked in but bolted before Dream turned around. He froze for a bit, though.
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: I'm not surprised. Dream wasn't exactly kind to him in the future.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: He's been a bit overbearing, yes.
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: I'm serious, though. Keep him away from Tommy—both of them, if at all possible. I don't know everything that was up with Theseus and his own Dream, but I know one thing: a man that kills a child is no one's friend.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Dream's the one who killed him?! Why didn't you mention that before?! Holy shit!
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: I don't know, but does it matter? Either way, Theseus needs to stay away from Dream, for both his own sake and whatever stability is sitting on him staying hidden. We can work around Dream just fine if we play along, but letting him know another player is on the board is dangerous for all of us.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: I'll be more careful next time. On another note, though...
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Were you aware that Wilbur apparently went crazy??
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: Tommy mentioned it briefly when trying to explain why he was here instead of that hellhole of a future. He got all shaky over it, though, so I wouldn't recommend prying about it if he blurted something about it. :/
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Yeah, he was pretty upset. I guess watching your own brother lose his mind sucks, though, huh?
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: Understatement. That scar that goes around his jaw and up his left cheek? Crazy Wilbur = Paranoid Wilbur. Tommy mentioned he lashed out a lot.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: No! No way, Wilbur hurt Tommy?! Are you sure?!
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: From what it sounds like, Wilbur wasn't really himself near the end. And he never said anything, but he touches the scar when he talks about it, so it's not hard to guess.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: "The end"? He's dead?!
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: Tommy said he was killed, but he brushed over it pretty quick. Briefly said that Wilbur wanted to die, anyway (which is really shit irony, huh?). I think there might've been more to it, but I'm not sure.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: He told you more than he told me.
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: Maybe. I'm not sure who knows what. Most of what I know has to do with his habit of rambling, and I miss some of it with how fast he glosses over things, so it's not like you or I have many details.
The_Eret whispers to awesamdude: Yeah, sucks a bit. Did he ever mention why he went to you? And just kind of accepted staying with me? And not, like, anyone else he knew better?
awesamdude whispers to The_Eret: You kind of already have the picture. He says Wilbur doesn't scare him, but he implied he wasn't really ready to deal with that. I'm not sure if he's telling the truth about his fear, but either is valid, really. Most of L'manberg also seemed to have a falling out with him? Something about leaving him behind. He didn't go into much detail, just said he didn't trust them. Said he didn't want to put pressure on Tubbo either, since apparently he also went through a lot of shit; besides, it's not like the kid is a very good liar, and Tommy wants to hide from Dream, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
