❝... I feel nothing for you. I hold myself down. Keep to yourself. you shouldn't touch me. The skin peels off my bones. I'll give you a gift: take the skin from my stomach and stretch it across your face. Look in the mirror: I see myself through your eyes. My body's on the ground behind you. you use it to amuse yourself. When you kick it around the room you feel the impact of your boot in your stomach. Cry for me. Blame me for the fact you no longer recognize yourself. Lying here, I want the air in this room to consume me, to pull my body in behind itself while you stare down at me uncertain if you've lost yourself in me. you're running your hands along the leather surface of your skin. The sound this makes changes pitch according to the area of your body you touch. your thighs and your groin generate a low hum, the sound of my corpse releasing dead air when you kick me. your face generates a continuous high-pitched squeal, the sound I make when you burn me. I take you over. you forget yourself in my body. When you chew a piece of skin from your finger you remember my body in your mouth. My bones crack between your teeth. I love you. When you lick your hand your sweat tastes like my blood. Conceal yourself. Close yourself off. Pull back into my skin. I'm inside you. The place on the floor where my body decayed left a stain on your memory. That's the signature of my love for you. you can't forget me without losing yourself. I'll never die...❞

>get chewed out because he cut himself off mid-speech with an “ah!” because he was being shot at, with a gun, and “striders never scream. :|”
> get ready to retort that an exclamation point does not always denote “screaming”, or else it would have been indicated as such, the site crashes midway through.
>find incredible amusement in the fact you weren’t chewed at for the fact that by habit, you were having dave’s speech contain punctuation.
Really, I think I would have been less put off/annoyed if somebody had corrected the punctuation thing, as opposed to something so stupid. I guess next time I’ll devote a paragraph or more to mentioning the character was expressing mild surprise at being shot at, even though my post did mention their attempt to remain as cool as possible after being grazed/standing there bleeding.
And because obviously, Dave never shows any semblance of emotion, ever. And you know, even the coolest of kids would keep a straight face while shot.
