Day 231 | action, closed to certain parties who know who they are
[ Hanging out with Calsprite is the bomb.

But unfortunately it could not last forever. Calsprite seemed to have other business (probably harassing Caliborn, which Dirk 100% endorses), so now Dirk is just. Sort of. Hanging out alone.

And kind of surreptitiously keeping an eye out for familiar faces during this temporary influx. ]

	[familiar faces like ur own, rite?? Not so alone anymore, even if this isn't the Bro you're looking for. He can see the way Dirk seems to be almost waiting. Holding out for something.] You expectin' somebody, kid? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ god daaaaaamn He's hangin out in a park just watching people walk by and kind of glares petulantly when Bro shows up. ] Should've been expecting your annoying ass to show up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[lovingly flicks his neck.] Rude as fuck today, ain't we. Thought you'd be a lil happier since the C-man came to visit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ SWATS AT. ] Hey, good point. Why are you harassing me instead of hanging out with him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh we got plans for later tonight. Gonna put those wings to work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Stare... No, he doesn't want to know. ] Okay. So until then, how about being anywhere but around me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Your wish has been granted. Dave is mostly wandering. He'll probably look for Dirk in a minute, but he looks a little jostled, so he's currently kind of just getting his bearings in order. He's a bit discombobulated. This is the third fucking time he's been here and it's really fucking jarring being tossed to and fro.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

[ Dirk is sitting on a park bench. Swinging his legs. There seem to be a lot of people walking by this area, so it's as good a spot as any to sit for now as he looks. He'll move on later if he doesn't see anyone he's looking for.

Looks like that won't really be necessary, though. He snaps to attention when he sees that familiar face. Jumps to his feet and casually ambles toward him really really fast. ]

Bro!

	[Dave turns to look at Dirk. He looks tired, but that's not actually really new. Dave always seems to be perpetually tired or whatever.] You don't know how fucked up it is to be tossed in here a third time. My sense of fucking time has never been so fucking mad in its life. Sup, kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Namuch. [ He stops a couple feet away from Dave. Looking a little awkward. But he's definitely happy to see him. He also wonders if Dave will notice the dumb and cute ring he's wearing. ] Been a while. Glad you're still in one piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never stopped being in one piece. [That's some really morbid humor Dave. It's not like she cut him in half. Just kind of got impaled on his own sword.] I'm too beautiful to be chopped into pieces anyways.

[He notices, but doesn't ask or say anything on it.] I don't think I'll ever be a permanent resident here. I'm just gonna be that Dave guy who gets tossed in every so often. Like I've been hired for some party and I'm the shitty clown that makes balloon animals for an indefinite amount of time.

	Yeah, probably. The dome can't handle that much swag for extended periods of time, anyway. [ Ignoring that morbid humor la la la and THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY. WHAT DOES HE SAY TO DAVE? HE'S SO GLAD TO SEE HIM, OMG. ] Oh, uh, I got you something for Christmas. Which happened a few days ago. It's at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wish it could. I'm all fucked up from coming and going. This shit is confusing as fuck.

[Sorry about that, Dirk. He's super desensitized to the concept of death. He forgets that it isn't something that can be joked lightly.]

What? [He seems genuinely surprised.] I guess I'm not surprised I would miss decent Holidays. [He almost sounds a bit disappointed. But you would be if you had a chance to celebrate it with more people than just Rose. He enjoys it, but he knows they both always have that empty feeling when they always end up buying gifts for people that aren't there.]

[ Hey, better than never celebrating it ever because no one has a way to send you presents.

So Dirk is just gonna lead the way to their apartment in Sector 2. ]

Yeah, there was snow and everything. [ A pause. ] It, uh, that same day? Also the one-month anniversary of me and Jake. [ PAUSE. ] Shacking up.

[ Dave is the one who encouraged it, he deserves to know, but there's just something about telling your absent guardian figure that you're dating someone. ]

[Dave casually follows, hands shoved in his pockets.]

Fuck snow. God, fuck weather that's not considered decent. [Dave hates the code dot jpeg.] Ok, I'm gonna say this now. As your guardian, you can date whoever the fuck you want. If you wanted to fucking date a fish, sure go ahead. Who am I to judge? I just never want to know if you shmanged or not. Those are thoughts and images that I don't want floating in my head.

Seriously. [He ruffles Dirk's hair though. Like, cool thanks for telling me and good job for getting laid if you did. Just don't actually tell him you got laid.]

	[ He got a hair ruffle. Today is the best fucking day. ] You mean you don't want all the lurid details of what goes on behind closed doors? I was saving 'em up just for you, Bro. I might burst if I don't get to share. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
