What's diet coke?

[xochipilli_cursed]

It's like soda, but not as good. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[headcasey]

What's soda?

[xochipilli_cursed]

A drink you shouldn't give kids before bed time.

[headcasey]

Like brandy?

Although, I can't think you should give that to anyone before bed time.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Yeah, like brandy, but it makes kids hyper.

[headcasey]

That sounds like a horrible thing.

Why would someone invent something like that?

Why? Why?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Because it tastes good.

The kid thing is just a side effect.

[headcasey]

Oh.

Is this sort of like the "poisoning yourself for fun" thing that alcoholics talk about?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Almost?

I think the worse it will do is give you bad teeth and make you fat.

[headcasey]

This sounds like a terrible invention.

Does it do anything useful?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Tastes good and gives you a nice sugar high?

I think anything that tastes good is supposed to be bad for you.

[headcasey]

That makes no scientific sense. Biologically, we should be pleased by nutritional substances.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Don't ask me, I didn't invent people. I just was born one.

[Kind of.]

[headcasey]

I don't think people are inventions.

[Sarcasm? What is this thing?]

[xochipilli_cursed]

You're killing me here.

How about we just say I'm no expert on humans, I just live it and try to enjoy it?

[headcasey]

That's acceptable, I suppose.

Don't understand much myself.

[xochipilli_cursed]

It's okay. I think they're trying to figure themselves out still anyways. You have plenty of time to catch up.

[headcasey]

"They're?"

Do you mean you're not human?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Well... kinda? More like half human.

I mean't they're like the rest of us. Some of us, like me, don't bother over thinking it.

[headcasey]

I over-think everything. That's my problem.

[xochipilli_cursed]

I guess there are worse problems to have.

Like a crazy ex or overbearing parents.

[headcasey]

I wouldn't know...

So you must be new here.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Yeah, you could say that.

I'm getting used to my world being turned upside down every few years.

Also, I use jokes to avoid freaking out.

[headcasey]

A fairly common coping mechanism around here.
