Foolish: I am a rich man, Tommy.
Tommy: Well, cool. I’m not.
Foolish: *Laughs* You’re wearing full Netherite armor. Well, besides the iron boots.
Tommy: Well I borrowed from Tubbo, so I could go and fight Dream.
(Pause)
Foolish: ...Oh, how’d that go? (Pause) ...Wait, you fought Dream?
Tommy: …*Frustrated sigh*
Tommy: (Heading to the Pickle) Do you hear that, do you hear that?!
Foolish: N-No no, no, nono, no no no, that is an important question!
Tommy: Do you hear that?!
Foolish: That is an important question!
Tommy: *Pickle sound effect* Ayyy! /Amen brother, amen!
Foolish: /No no, bad, no, shut up Pickle!
Foolish: What do you mean, you fought Dream?
Tommy (Quietly): ...W-Well, y’know… you’ve seen Wilbur, haven’t you?
Foolish: No, no, actually. Well, actually, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Ghostbur…. Probably, like, a few weeks ago. Lovely guy, I like Ghostbur.
(Long pause, Tommy looks down at the floor)
Foolish: Do you need Pickle time? You seem upset.
Tommy: Nope. We just mine.
Foolish: Just mine? Okay! Okay..
Tommy: *Long sigh* … Ghostbur’s, um, Ghostbur’s not here anymore.
Foolish: Oh, did he pack up? Move out? Got bored? He seemed like a free spirit.
Tommy: Yeah, he moved out, um, to this little train station, far away. There’s a little train station, you know, right near the world border. There’s a little train station.
Foolish: Oh, well that’s cool! I wanna see that sometime. (Pause) ...I was thinking about building a train myself, actually, I was gonna call it The Hype Train.
Tommy: ...That’s really cringe.
Foolish: Well, I-I disagree, That depends on your definition of cringe.
Tommy: You hit it, the nail on the head.
Foolish: No, I disagree, I-
Tommy: There’s a little, um, there’s a little train station, out near the world border, and Ghostbur went, but he left Friend.
Foolish: He left Friend?
Tommy: But we’ll get Friend to him soon.
Foolish: Oh.
Tommy: Because then he’ll be happy. ...But no, um, Ghostbur left, and I, I went to prison, to go and….
Tommy: (Pause) How much can you… take, Foolish?
Foolish: Take? What do you mean?
Tommy: Blood. Blood. Does that upset you?
Foolish: Uuum, mm, see, okay, okay, I-I don’t really, do that anymore. I haven’t killed a soul since being here. I don’t really do killing.
Tommy: (Slightly shaky) Ouh...well, um. I went to go and kill Dream, Foolish, you see, you know he killed me, don’t you? /And uh-
Foolish: /Yeah, I’m aware that- Wait, speaking of which, h- I never really asked you, you know, I knew it was kind of a touchy subject… How exactly are you back?
(Long silence. They stare at each other.)
Foolish: Okay, okay, maybe wrong question, wrong question…. Y’know, one step at a time…
Tommy: Alright, I don’t really feel comfortable talking about that with you, Foolish, /if I’m honest.
Foolish: /Okay, okay, no, fair enough,
Tommy: But, um…. *coughs* No.
Foolish: So, you fought Dream?
Tommy: Yeah.
Foolish: Recently?
Tommy: Well, I tried to, and then Wilbur, uh, was revived, he was revived, and he came back, uuuh, and now he’s… I don’t know where he’s gone, (Energetically) but all I know is I’m proving that bitch wrong, ay?!
Foolish: Wait, what do you mean-
Tommy: Because he told me, he told me I’m weak! He told me I couldn’t even lift… lift my whole weight, six-foot-three, and now, I’m, what I’m doing is I’m going and I’m picking up all this stone to prove him, I’m gonna get it and I’m gonna fucken go “Yeah, bitch!”
Foolish: You’re… gathering stone… wait okay, I have so many questions, but we'll just stick to one question at a time…. You’re gathering stone… to prove that, you’re a…a man?
Tommy: Well, I already know I’m a man, just to, fucken prove him wrong. And I need to, uh-
Foolish: That you can… gather stone?
Tommy: (Pause, quieter) Well, y-yeah. Fuckin’, I don’t know how to speak to you, man.
Foolish: I don’t really see how this solves the problem…?
Tommy: Well, it doesn’t solve the problem, it’s preventing the problem, Foolish, alright? Have you noticed that all the problems come, the-they don’t get solved, do they, alright? It ends up with some madman screaming he’s solved it, alright, and now he’s- and then look at ‘im, alright, now he’s taken away everyone's favorite man. Ghostbur, alright? Problems don’t really get solved on this server.
Foolish: No, no, yeah, I-I suppose you’re right….
Tommy: Yeah. /Well, that’s what I’m doing-
Foolish: /Well, how do we go about changing that? By gathering stone?
Tommy: No! Well, what I’m doing, my friend, is preventing the problem. Before it gets out of hand, like it did before, alright? *Sigh*
Foolish: So… Wilbur’s back… Uumm, okay, yep, I’ll just- I’ll- I’m not even gonna ask how he’s back, that’s-that’s a question for another day-- and you’re here, just, you’re trying to stop him? You don’t- You don’t like that he’s back? I- Weren’t you guys friends at some point?
Tommy: Listen. Listen, alright. /Come over here Foolish,
Foolish: /I’m still a little fuzzy on everything,
Tommy: Let me-Let me show you something, alright? You-You’re still very new ‘round here, /I’m not really sure... what you are, but, come over here, alright?
Foolish: /Yeah yeah yeah.
Tommy: (Leads him to L’manberg) You see this? L’manberg.
Foolish: Oh yeah, I’ve heard this before.
Tommy: This was mine and Wilbur’s na- It was Wilbur’s nation, (shakily) it was Wilbur’s, which makes it all the more heart-wrenching, alright? And he decided, that even, *sigh* and he doesn’t mean this, but even though at the time--when we made this?--it was to get away from Dream, because Dream, wouldn’t let us do what we wanted to. He told us that we had to live under his big, iron fist, but we went “No, Dream, that’s not fair, is it?” alright, you don’t think that’s fair, do you Foolish?
Foolish: No, no, /so you were a couple revolutionaries...revolutionists, basically.
Tommy: /We can’t- People want to do what they want. So we made this nation, yeah, we made a nation, and it was glorious, and it was amazing! People challenged it, sure, but we got through it!
Tommy: *Heavy sigh* And then to try and con--you really don’t know the story?-- /and then to try and consolidate our power... we held an election.
Foolish: /I mean...yeah.
Tommy: Now… *Sigh*
Foolish: Oh man, you’re saying there used to government here? Oof.
Tommy: Now, the problem with an election is it kinda puts all your life on the line, which can be good, if you’re confident, but perhaps we were a little overconfident… and because of that, Foolish, well, we, um…. We lost! To the hands of JSchlatt, right here, actually, right about here is where we lost.
Foolish: Oh.
Tommy: And Schlatt banished us. Now, we were okay, when- I was okay, when we were banished, and I knew that we’d get it back, that we’d talk about it, right, as you said, peace is the option.
Foolish: Mhm.
Tommy: ...But here’s the thing, Foolish. Wilbur didn’t want to do anymore talking, he’d given up with that, because some people aren’t strong enough, alright, some people stop talking.
Tommy: ...You know the phrase “treat others how you’d want to be treated”, Foolish? /That’s a really important phrase.
Foolish: /Yeah! Yeah (nods)
Tommy: And people hear it, you hear your teachers say it, you hear it when you’re young, people don’t ever listen to it, “treat others how you’d want to be treated”. Wilbur disregarded that rule. He decided that... he wanted to be treated poorly, so he’d treat everyone else poorly.
Foolish: Why do you think that?
Tommy: *Sigh* Honestly, I…. Sometimes I don’t know, myself. (Pause). But this block here, (Gestures to TNT at Wilbur’s shrine), he used this and he blew up L’manberg and...shattered it into a million pieces. Now, Wilbur, he was a good man, he is a good man, deep inside him, alright? /But he’s been a-
Foolish: /So you’re saying there’s still redemption for him?
Tommy: Well, he’s been a good man deep inside him, but he’s been a bad guy for a very, very long time. And I know that there’s still good in him, there’s still good in everyone, really, Foolish, even if they are all assholes, and wankers, and… but-
Foolish: Do you believe in second chances?
Tommy: No, I don’t. I don’t really believe in second chances, I don’t- that’s not really a thing for me, Foolish, it’s just that… *sigh*...I believe everyone’s got a little bit of good in them. And I know that Wilbur had good in him, alright, so I won’t g-
Foolish: You said “had”?
Tommy:...Yeah, he did, because when we made this nation- although now he seems to claim- he claimed to me, Foolish, that the nation (slams fists on irl desk) we built together! *Shaky inhale* ...He claimed that it was all just a ruse for power. Now, I think that Wilbur’s just being a bad guy, alright, and that’s okay, we’re all bad guys, everyone messes up, it’s- you learn the most from your mistakes. He’s made so many mistakes, so many that have hurt so many people, but, what this is gonna be about isn’t giving him a second chance, isn't giving him a third chance, it’s not about chances, Foolish! It’s about making sure you don’t give up on the people you care about. So I know you’re still really new to this server, and I know you’ve built lots of things,
Foolish: (Nods) Yeah, yeah,
Tommy: So I know if you really care about someone, do not give up on them, Foolish, don’t give up on people, alright? /Because that’s how you lose.
Foolish: /You know, Tommy, I think I had you wrong. I think I had you wrong.
(They leave L’manberg)
Tommy: Oh, I don’t know what that means.
Foolish: Well I just, y’know, you’re a little more...mature than I thought you would be. I thought you were just a loud, obnoxious, y’know what I mean, do-what-you-want, y’know, a couple muggings here and there, but no, maybe there’s more to you than meets the eye.
Tommy: Well, I still do that, obviously, because it’s funny. And it’s fun-
Foolish: Well, *Laughs nervously* Nah, I mean- I understand…. But maybe there’s more to you, Tommy, than I thought.
Tommy: Thanks, I guess. (Begrudgingly) ..Maybe there’s more to you, too.
Foolish: Oh, there’s so much….
Tommy: Okay.
Foolish: Do you consider yourself to be the good guy or the bad guy?
Tommy: ...That really depends who you ask, doesn’t it, you know? If you ask Dream, he’d say I’m- he’d say I’m his little- I’m his little play- (shakily) his little toy, that he plays with, y’know? It doesn’t…
Tommy: *Inhale* Foolish, honestly, I used to consider myself the “good guy”, y’know, the fucken second in command, going around and going “yeah, let’s do this!” yeah, but recently… these past….
Tommy: …*Shaky breath* (Quietly) These past 6 months, or so, Foolish, everything got so much harder than it was before, but, because before it was just “us fighting the bad guys!” but it was also clear, y’know, it was all so clear,
Foolish: Yeah, nothing muddy,
Tommy: But it’s not been clear for so long, alright? It wasn’t “these are the bad guys, these are the good guys,” now it’s, “he’s doing this, and that makes him a bit worse, that makes him a bit-”, it all got so fucking complicated, so… I don’t know. It depends on who you ask, but… *sigh*
Foolish: I dunno, it all seems strange, cause, just hearing from others, and y’know, learning a little bit, it seems like you’ve been… the hero, you’ve been, the villain, the conqueror, the savior, and even now I still have no idea what you exactly are.
Tommy: Well, that’s up to you to decide, isn’t it? I’m just a… I dunno, these days Foolish, I’m a little weaker than I used to be. I’m not who I want to be, but… *long sigh*
Foolish: I’m gonna be honest with you, Tommy, that’s the same case for me as well.
Tommy: Oh, really?
Foolish: Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Tommy: Here’s the thing, Foolish, unlike you, I don’t really have a choice. I have to try and be who I want to be, ‘cause if I don’t… very bad things are going to happen on this server. And now Wilbur’s back, Foolish, I can’t… quite frankly, no one can risk that. So I don’t really have a choice. I’ll just keep on mining, I’ll and keep on pogchamping.
Foolish: You’re just gonna pog through the pain?
Tommy: I try to, and then Twitch deleted the Pog emote.
(They talk about Pogchamp and Lore Man for the rest of the stream [a very funny bit])
