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? ]

Hell no.

[ He can't read that expression very well. But he assumes Jake is just distressed because he doesn't get it. The last thing he wants is Jake or anyone else picking up on Dirk's well-deserved self-directed hatred. ]

So please just tell me you won't have anything to do with him. [ He squeezes Jake around the middle, a little. ]

[Jake pouts, a little put off.]

For once? I've always trusted you! But I believe this to be the result of some kind of miscommunication?

You have to ask? Dude shows up and the first thing he does is try to deliberately piss me off, and then he goes on a date with my fucking boyfriend.

See? I knew it was all just one hunkerdoodle of a misunderstanding! If you recall, I asked him! Of course, I thought it was you, but a gent never turns his back on his word!

He didn't have to say yes! God, Jake.

[ He turns away, hands running through his hair in frustration. Why is he having so much trouble with this? Why is it getting to him? ]

What? I reckon he couldn't have known we're. Y'know!

He still went on that date after he did know.

Even if the cost is cheating?

It was an outing without any romantical inclination. We stuck to our word for the sake of it. Christ Almighty, I don't understand what the hubbub is all about when you allowed it to begin with.

I-- Shit, I thought it'd be funny, that's all. If you'll recall, I actually did try to call it off once I realized what a jackass he was.

He's only as much of a jerkwad as any Strider can be! Yourself included.

[Huffs! He doesn't realize that that's the problem.]

You're putting all kinds of twists in what I said. He's no more or less of a jerk than you're capable of being yourself. And considering I like you just the way you are, Strider, quite frankly I think you oughta reconsider your opinion of him.

[ He lifts his shades up to rub at his face. For a long time, he doesn't say anything.

You like me the way I am. You mean that?
