[ Fucking hell. ]

ok first
gotta dispute the whole "not hurt" thing there buddy
kind of getting the impression the stylish bandana is covering up some head trauma what with the goddamn BLOOD and all
what the hell have you done

[ He's not expecting to get answers to that, he's just venting steam. But - ]

you know people are going to hunt you down right
this isn't rosswood you can't lose people so easily
and these people are NOT going to be happy when they find you
idk what he's lying to you about but maybe just
let him go
make a break for it
they'll probs call off the chase after that

heis fine ifixed it

*That's what the neck tie is. Cause when you bandage something up it fixes it right??? He's not really good at medicine.*

i cannot
hedoes not under stand
he must

you donot un der sta nd but y o u do

yeah fixed sure let's go with that
you're *helping*
great job buddy you're acting more like your old self already

now how about you explain to me what he doesn't understand
if you can make me get it, I can put it into words that clayton will understand for you
like a batshit to english translator
explain it to me like I'm the dumbest son of a bitch you ever met ok
let's fix this so you don't get yourself killed, that would be great

yes.iam help ing

*He's not going to tell this Tim that he's trying to stop Clayton from killing the other Tim. He knows enough to know this one would take it badly and try to find some way to hinder that. But there is some of it he can mention.*

he cannot helpme
canNOT help alex
must n o t

how do you know he can't help you
he's a doctor
he doesn't have all his equipment and

[ Weird magic powers ]

stuff here but everybody wants to bust out of this place and go home right
so when that happens he'll be able to help you
he's a good guy, ok, he's not like me
doesn't lie
not on purpose anyway
and don't worry about Alex I don't even think Clayton's spoken to him much
plus I'm pretty sure he knows the guy is scum so

what you wantto fix isnot
broken

doctor pills equipment cannot help pain
not complete, still there

no.
no hesaid he is help ing
itold wrong
his fault he began
but doc tor says help
he willnot lis ten only lies

*Also he totally doesn't understand how one could lie by accident, wtf Tim.*

ok hold up
you're losing me again
we can agree to disagree on your broken status I guess
what's the pain you're talking about
are you getting sick? I just got a month's worth of pills
if I half the dosage we can share if that's what you want

and this is the bit where I'd say "ooh but only if you let clayton go etc etc"
but that sounds a LOT like you just said clayton said he's helping alex
nnnnot sure you've got that one right
misunderstandings happen

hurt, yes. everywhere
different pills, not yours, different. lessen, not fix

*He's totally coming to visit and get some of those pills, though. Once he's handled things over here.*

isaid that yes
itis true
iam NOT a liar

clay ton says keep helping him
does not listen ?does not care? when i explain
explain what he D I D
onlysays sick, says notdie
says help

[ Well, that. Kind of sounds like the kind of thing Brian wouldn't make up. There isn't the telltale bugfuck crazy logic to it that hovers around anything from the very exclusive ToTheArk brand.

But... that would mean that it's the truth. Which can't be the case. Clayton knows how much it took for Tim to trust him, he wouldn't betray that.

Right? ]

ok about Clayton
are you 100% sure
did he actually say, in those words, that he's been helping Alex
or is it just that he doesn't want Alex to die
because I don't really want the guy to die either tbh and I think we both know I'M not helping him
so
are you certain

yes
hesaid help ing
hesaid didnot care

*He said it the first day, at least. If he tried to say otherwise later Brian wouldn't have accepted it unless Clayton agreed to help kill him, anyway.*

god damn it GOD DAMNIT
how is he helping him, what's he doing
no nvm it doesn't even matter
he said he didn't care? are you serious
alex KILLED PEOPLE
doctors are supposed to be pretty against that
oh but I guess seth and sarah don't matter to him since they're just names
and the guy in the tunnel? who gives a shit
as for you and jay WELL you got better! let's all help out poor innocent alex FUCKING kralie
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SON OF A BITCH

[ Time for Tim to start kicking things around the building he's in and maybe angry-tearing up a bit because THAT'S HOW HE DO. FUCK. ]

itoldhim
what alex d i d

he said sick
said not deserve e n d
said help

*And now he sees a simple way to use this to his advantage~. Sweet, maybe he got something out of this after all.*

he doesnot help
only lies
cannot help
you

stay away
hecould hurt
donotwant Decay

[ WOW that is some staggeringly obvious emotional manipulation right there. TOO BAD TIM IS TOO SHOCKED AND UPSET TO SEE THROUGH IT.

~~motherfucker.~~ ]

ok man calm down
he won't HURT anybody that's not what he does
and I can see that he's a liar k you don't have to tell me twice
let's just say he won't be getting any more secrets out of me
l m a o

[ Needless to say Tim isn't lmao-ing. At all. Even a little. ]

you should still let him go
or idk keep him and I'll keep making my way north w/jay
we'll find you and we'll talk it all out
nobody will have to get hurt
does that sound good to you

*Hey now, he doesn't really want either Tim to die ~~while he's still useful~~ and anyone who's on Alex's side is clearly capable of murder so there MIGHT be danger. Its not JUST manipulation ~~just mostly~~.*

iam not done
still try ing
i must makehim under stand

can waitfor you
wecan all
talk

*That sounds a lot more sinister than he means it, really.*

[ jesus christ brian ]

ok pro tip
putting "talk" on its own line there
implies a pause
makes you sound sinister as all hell
not the best way to instil confidence

but ok we're on our way up
we've been making good time so
you shouldn't be waiting too long
STAY SAFE until then jfc

[ like try not to get clobbered by any SOLDIER types or anything ]

*But how else will be show emphasis if not with weird spacing?!?*

?sinister?
nota threat
only truth plans promises

*Yeah, that's...not helping.*

we are north
school? is east
doghouse

i will wait
see you

awesome
if anybody bugs you between now and then tell them I'm coming to help fix everything
I think we're be like two days away if everything goes ok so
yeah
see you

[ THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA ]

o kay

*He's not actually going to tell anyone he spoke with Tim about this, but he can pretend.*
