So, is it normal for things to suddenly jump backwards in time here? I see that these books are still some kind of weird email/letter combination with a throwback pen, but other than that this is pretty different from what I saw a few weeks ago.

I'd mostly like to know if it's a good idea to stock up on things that may not be available later. You know, non-perishable food, soap, explosives, that sort of thing.

[ Whoever this Gumball person is, Hunter's gotten a bad impression already. But let's move on. ]

Yeah! That's what I've been trying to tell you.

[Excellent, keep disliking him.]

Sorry, it's kind of hard to get your head around something like this when that was the only thing you've ever known.

So I can

[And another one of those "didn't think fast enough before he started writing pauses".]

Actually I have no idea who I'm supposed to be now.

[ This actually takes a while to process. So far, Hunter's been playing things by ear, but he's still not sure what to really do with himself now that his great aunt is out of the picture that doesn't involve embarrassing dog things. So trying to give advice to someone who was the designated villain is harder than it seemed. ]

Well, what do you like to do besides bad guy stuff?

[nulland]

[He wasn't really expecting advice, honestly. He was just commenting on his reality, as it were.]

I don't know, it's been a while. I was mostly in the background before everything happened. I'd just kind of hang out, but that's not actually DOING much.

[ Hunter thought you wanted advice, dude. ]

So... Uh... I guess you could kinda go out and find a new hobby then? Something you can actually get into that's not some role forced on you. You can always check the dream board for quests, if you dunno where to start looking for stuff to try.

[nulland]

[Not expecting it doesn't mean he didn't want it! Though it does mean he doesn't know what to do with it.]

OK. Right, it's been so long I haven't really gotten to try many new things in the first place. I think I know what you're talking about.

Thanks.

Does anybody need a sidekick or something like that?

[That was the role he wanted!]
