Okay, but... What do you mean by eyes?

[tetractys]

I CAN SEE THROUGH ANY IMAGE OF MYSELF! OR I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO, ANYWAY.

WHICH MEANS I USUALLY DON'T NEED TO RELY ON THE EYE ON MY BODY. I CAN JUST DRAW EYES ANYWHERE I WANT TO HANG OUT, AND SEE THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

[He is used to having his attention split into billions and billions of peepholes that are all bombarding him with information about thousands of worlds.

He doesn't like it when they're not around. He's gotten used to it, but it's too quiet in his head now. He can almost hear himself think. Yikes.]

[neverjoinyou]

I'm sorry, Bill. I sympathize, but... I can't do that. Not yet. Let me think about it.

[And he will. He'll just be very wary of doing anything that only lets Bill cause trouble.]

[tetractys]

YEAH, YOU THINK! IT'S A GREAT IDEA. HE CAN'T CATCH ME IF I SEE HIM COMING!

[neverjoinyou]

If he does anything to you, Bill, he'll have me to answer to.

[tetractys]

KID, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT LIKE HE CAN KILL ME TWICE! HAHAHA!

[neverjoinyou]

I'm not worried about it. I'm simply telling you what will happen.

:Ta i think i hit a button. ignore those access notifications.

[tetractys]

[yeah but like

WHY volunteer to do this]

UUUH, OKAY! GREAT!

[weird??]

it happens!

[neverjoinyou]

[He doesn't understand, but that's okay. Luke still thinks it's important that he know.]

I'm your warden. I'm here to help and protect you. That's why you're coming to me to ask me not to tell him anything, in part. Isn't it?

[tetractys]

YOU'VE GOT THE FILE!

[There's nothing in it that's damaging but that doesn't mean he wants Ford to know that there's nothing damaging.]

[neverjoinyou]

Yes. And you know that somewhere, for some reason, I have some reason to protect you.

[tetractys]

YEP! THAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION!

[doesn't mean, you know, he's actually going to do it.

Literally where the fuck would he be if he expected anyone to do their jobs? Nowhere.]

[neverjoinyou]

[Luke manfully refrains from slamming his head against the wall.]

Okay. Well. I'm... going to do it. My job, I mean.

[tetractys]

...I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ME TO HERE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO PULL ANY PUNCHES ON FORDSY, KID.

IF YOU'RE INVOLVED, YOU'RE GOING TO BE A MEAT-SHIELD AT BEST!

[neverjoinyou]

I'm trying to get you to an understanding that I am here for you.

But now I have to ask--what is it you're planning?

[tetractys]

[He is going to keep Ford from graduating, ever. He knows he can do it, he's tested it before.

He's never going to tell Luke what he was planning for Sinjir.]

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING PERMANENT YOU CAN REALLY DO TO SOMEONE LIVING HERE!

[neverjoinyou]

You know I don't believe that's the case. But while I'm here to protect you, Bill, I'm also not going to be very tolerant of you going out of your way to hurt Ford. I don't care what he's done. Or, I mean. I do care but it doesn't mean I'm going to let you get revenge, or whatever it is.

[tetractys]

I MEAN, IT'S UNDERRATED, YOU KNOW THAT.

[he is not sure Luke's ever done a proper revenge, like a real good years-long vengeance. it's awesome]

[neverjoinyou]

Honestly, I wouldn't know. But I do know it would not be advantageous to your stated goals.

[tetractys]

[yeah but here's the thing

he really wants to]

HMM, YOU DO HAVE A POINT.

[neverjoinyou]

See? I knew I was useful.

[tetractys]

OH, YOU'RE ALWAYS USEFUL, WINGS!

[neverjoinyou]

Somehow I think that's not entirely a compliment.
