DIRK: It's just a little disappointing, is all.

DIRK: Rose and I put so much work into whipping up some zany, adorable, kind of fucked up little dudes.

DIRK: The least you could do is attempt to give a shit about how they turn out.

DIRK: Or was all that hand-wringing about how worried you were that Rose and I were becoming big bad cosmic tyrants with no regard for the poor little mortals buffeted to and fro by the vicious momentum of our designs just virtue signaling?

DIRK: Or worse... foreplay?

DIRK: Wow.

DIRK: Pretty low, Terezi.

DIRK: I expected a lot better of you.

TEREZI: TH4T JOK3Y-BUT-NOT-R34LLY F4M1L14L GU1LT-TR1P MOOSH1T M4N3UV3R M1GHT WORK ON ROS3

DIRK: It doesn't.

TEREZI: BUT 1T DO3SNT M34N SH1T TO M3

DIRK: It does.

DIRK: Not that I needed to bust it out for you.

DIRK: I know you wouldn't just abandon the Deltritans to the cruel march of time and whatever scant preparation you imagine we gave them.

DIRK: You don't trust Rose or I to give enough of a fuck about them, and despite your occasional protestations, you are, for the most part, too good a person to just turn your back on them and let whatever happens happens.

DIRK: I trust that the automated suggestions you put in place, and the conditional map that prompts them, were thought through with an honestly touching amount of care, considering your misgivings.

DIRK: There's no doubt in my mind that even if Rose and I hadn't already basically knocked this creationism shit out of the park, the sons and/or daughters of Deltritus would make it to the Game just fine with even the barest phantom of your counsel.

DIRK: That's why I'm allowing you to do this at all.

TEREZI: 1 DONT N33D YOUR P3RM1SS1ON

TEREZI: OH FUCK YOU

DIRK: And for the record, you're also wrong in your assertion that we don't care about them.

DIRK: We do.

DIRK: I do, at any rate.

DIRK: Circle of life. Hakuna Matata. Que sera, sera.

DIRK: And you know it.

TEREZI: 1 DONT KNOW SH1T

DIRK: Plato, nice.

DIRK: All this hate on philosophizing, yet here you are busting out the certified classics to counter my rhetoric.

TEREZI: UGH

TEREZI: 1 DONT KNOW WHO PL4TO 1S BUT 1F "1 DONT KNOW SH1T" 1S TH3 B3ST H3 H4D TO OFF3R H3 COULDNT H4V3 B33N TH4T WORTH STUDY1NG

DIRK: Plato was actually pretty badass, but we're straying from the point.

DIRK: Originally, the plan was to pop in every couple hundred years to check on the Deltritan races' progress and to give you a bit of time to guide them manually.

DIRK: Which I maintain would have been pretty fun, and would encourage you (probably fruitlessly) to consider giving a go.

DIRK: But hey, you say you aren't feeling it?

DIRK: Fine.

DIRK: I can make concessions.

DIRK: I've got other agents in play, and as I've said, I know you aren't going to risk fucking your end of the work up.
