[Well. That component about the meteor is... low key terrifying and high key interesting. But he doesn't think he's going to get anything coherent out of John about that, at least not right now.]
You're resisting him, then. I can understand the appeal, of course. But...
i guess this is all kind of tmi seeing as we basically just met but i only want to be a normal person with a job. if dirk actually has some stuff for me to do that is relevant to saving our universe, he can tell me about that, but i'm not going to do a bunch of pokemon master adventure stuff just because i am also a god.
i kind of do? the issue is that the whole thing is super complicated and i barely understand it. if whatever your dirk plan is works then you should ask him.
but i think the basic idea is that i am the only other person here other than dirk who is maybe "Relevant" with a capital r. or maybe i'm more True? fuck.
a friend explained all this to me once but it has been possibly literally an eternity since then so i'm kind of rusty. but i think i hold relevance to the canon of the world i come from even dead, somehow? or dirk thinks i do, i mean. i don't think he has any proof because he'd probably shove it in my face if he did but he wants me to be a hero here to sort of maintain my hero/main character status and through that, my overall Relevance.
there's something about essentiality as well????????
i am not an expert on this stuff. dirk and my friend both went "ultimate", which gave them all this knowledge and they were already really smart so they understand what's going on. i'm just a dude who played a game and got superpowers, really.
ok, i know what you're about to say. "If you're not an expert, how can you possibly know doing what Dirk says wouldn't help?" i don't, but he doesn't either. if he finds something to convince me that i am somehow going to be relevant to canon again as myself and not a dead body, i'll listen to him. but he hasn't found that yet.

Yet... I can’t help but think that he has some purpose behind that urging. Might you know what it is?
