Day 211 [action/voice]
[ action/open ]

[ From long before the morning message -- since around midnight, actually -- until around noon, Dirk can be found working in the gardens in Sector Four. When it begins to rain, he scowls, but keeps his work up. He has a date to go on tonight; and he's fairly sure that if he skips out, that troll that is his pre-scratch self will further attempt to fuck things up with Jake. He can't allow that.

Do feel free to bother him. ]

[ voice/open/around 11AM ]

What a great day for rain.

Got a few things I wanted to mention before I'm too preoccupied. First: That wiki Crane was working on? Last night I added a page to answer a bunch of recurring newbie questions. Hopefully, it'll cut down on some of the repetitiveness of New Inmates Day.

Second: My friend Roxy and I have a project we're working on. You know, bettering ourselves for rehab and shit? Anyone who's good with computers is welcome to come help us out. Tony Stark, Penelope Garcia? You two might be interested. We're thinking of meeting in the computer lab tomorrow, around one PM. Who all's game?

Third: Just so everyone knows, I'm taking Jake English to the Sadie Hawkins dance tonight. This is not up for debate. [ He's just a smidgen defensive. Things have been getting under his skin lately. ]

[ action/closed to flatmates ]

[ Around noon, Dirk drags himself home, takes a surprisingly quick shower to clean the mud from himself, and collapses face-first into bed.

You really don't want to bother him. Or do you? ]

	Sounds a bit like a wiggity-wack place to hold a dance, but fun all the same! All right, Dirk, when is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Creatures alive, Dirk, you've gone and alley-ooped right off the handle! But I oughta let you sleep if you're to get your beauty sleep, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-03-20 07:31 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Now you get it. [ He paws around for Jake's hand, squeezing tenderly once he grabs it. ] Come get me around four, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-03-20 07:45 am UTC (link)
	[A moment to think. Then Jake brings Dirk's hand to his lips for a little kiss.] You can count on me! Pleasant dreaming, Strider. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He looks up in confusion when he feels Jake moving his hand. Oh. Fucking doki. The slightest hint of a dopey grin crosses his face -- he's too tired to suppress it. ] Thanks, bro. (Reply to this) (Parent)
