"Wasn't worried about it." That's actually true. Wilbur has been many things but he has not put Quackity in physical danger. 

...however, Q is kind of thinking at this point that he should maybe find any other people he can talk to. "Different subject— I'm kind of wondering, there's another me and another you and another Tommy and so on, but we don't have everyone you've mentioned and you can't possibly have a version of everyone I know. Do you have, I don't know— a Sapnap, a George, a Leilah, a Dream, a Wiress—"

“We have a— Dream, Sapnap, and George. I don’t know any of the others. Tubbo? Ranboo?”

Permalink

"Tubbo yes, Ranboo not that I know of but I wouldn't necessarily know it if we did.

Do you know where I'd, uh, find Dream and Sapnap and George." 

Permalink

“Well. I know where you’d find Dream.”

He’s grinning like there’s an inside joke Quackity’s not in on. 

Permalink

"...which is where?" 

Permalink

“Prison. He’s in prison, they locked him up, for daring to stand against them. For stepping between them and power. They needed a scapegoat and— I’m lucky I was dead, or they would’ve found me. He resurrected me, and how is he repaid? Solitary confinement.

I’ve been thinking about visiting. I know Tommy did. I know Ghostbur did, poor pathetic Ghostbur.”

Quackity, meanwhile, has the distinct impression that he's just fallen into a pit of missing context.

".....okay?" (Who is they, part of him wants to know immediately. What was he a scapegoat for? He doesn't ask that, though, not out loud--) 

Permalink

“I don’t know where Sapnap and George are. George is probably sleeping. Dream though, Dream is— Dream’s my hero, man. And he’s in prison.”

Permalink

That... honestly, that just seems like a perfectly normal thing to have happen, to Quackity. Kind of weird that it's Dream who ended up in prison for it, the Dream who Q's familiar with loves his stylist team more than some people love their mothers, but different versions of people are apparently quite different and the circumstances wouldn't be the same at all-- or maybe it's just that he leaned too far into the scary supervillain image, made himself a target in a different way. Who knows.

Only one way to find out, and it's not to ask Dream, who wouldn't give a straight answer. It is not to ask Sapnap, who, for all his many virtues, is not exactly the kind of person you trust with the full context of your decisions or with any story other than the official one. 

...brain, please shut up about his Sapnap. 

"What did he do? Uh, that made them want to put him in prison." 

Permalink

“Didn’t do what they wanted. Didn’t let L’Manberg—or anyone else, for that matter—come to power again. Kept my throne warm. Killed my ghost and brought me back.”

Permalink

He glances, involuntarily, at the trees-- but if there are cameras around, which there still probably aren't because this is a forest, Wilbur casually declaring that Dream is his hero would be more incriminating than anything Quackity (who after all doesn't have context, and can very plausibly plead ignorance!) could possibly ask. 

"...who's they? If you can say." 

Permalink

“Fucking— everyone. Everyone wants him there. They’re, they’re punishing him, for, for wanting power. It’s retribution. Biblical judgement. They want me in there too, they’re just waiting for, an excuse. But I’m not going to give them one. I’m not going to fucking give them one.”

Permalink

Well, good luck with that, if you're going around declaring him your hero and saying he's only there because they needed a scapegoat out loud with your mouth words where people can hear you.

He's not saying that, it's incredibly rude. 

He is, however, noting the lack of real answer. Sometimes admitting you only aren't speaking because you're not allowed to-- admitting that there's something you're not allowed to say-- is the worst thing you can do. So. That's fun. 

"Right," he says, easily, which means absolutely nothing. 

Permalink

"You get it," Wilbur says, totally oblivious to any subtext.

Permalink

You have to understand: there are many, many things you can say about Wilbur. Quackity is absolutely not going to arrive at the hypothesis that oblivious to subtext might be one of them.

"I get it," he agrees. "...I should probably try to find Sapnap." 

Permalink

"I have no idea where you'd find him. Tommy might know, other-Quackity definitely would know but might not tell us."

Permalink

"...honestly I was just going to text him." He has his pager in his pocket, still.

Spawn! Cool. He loves knowing the actual names of things. 

Back to the outpost and through the portals etc. He's... not really sure what he's expecting, at this point, but.
