Day 238 | Closed voice/Open action
[ As shitty as Dirk feels, he really doesn't like spending so much time by himself. It would have been fine, once upon a time, but now after having gotten used to interacting with his friends 24/7 (24/10? Marina seems to operate with ten-day weeks, he thinks, if the school schedule is anything to go by) it just makes him frustrated to be by himself.

So after having spent maybe 18 hours shut up alone in a random apartment he picked out after therapy ended, he decides he needs to hang out with someone. Not Jake, though. Not Roxy, either. He likes Dave, but he can only imagine how Dave feels about him, having been raised by his Alternate Douchebag Self. Aradia would be a good choice, but she was there at that session the day before when Dirk went off on himself. Ugh, why did he even do that. Fuck fuck fuck. Not Helix, he keeps getting existential around Helix and he's sick of getting existential.

So that leaves the cherubs, who frankly he should have decided on from the start, because hey, he's been friends with Calliope even longer than Jane or Jake, and Caliborn's always good for a laugh. ]

[ Voice / Filtered to the cherubs / Early afternoon ]

Hey.

[ Action / Open / Late evening ]

[ Sometime after he and Calliope get done hanging out, he decides to go for a walk. It's evening, there shouldn't be too many people milling about. Get some fresh air. Yeah, that's a good plan. ]

	[ Roxy is wandering out of a restaurant (she was eating for once) when she catches a glimpse of Dirk. She's not sure she wants to go and bother him after the whole scene in Tyki's bar, but she does miss him terribly. So that's why she ultimately jogs over, falling into step beside him. ] Hey, Dirk. You feeling any better today? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ He clenches his fists by his sides, walks a little faster. ] Not feeling hungover or drugged up today, so there's that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Roxy's not sure what his reaction means. Or if he's digging at her or not-- she wants to say he isn't, but she honestly doesn't know. She didn't see Dirk at their therapy session, so she's blissfully unaware of any awkward that might have dug up. ]

It's a start. Better than being rock bottom some more. I... really hope you're doing okay, though. I miss you. I'm real worried.

	Mm. [ He doesn't show any reaction to that, because he doesn't know how to react. He misses her too. What the fuck was he even doing the other day? She didn't deserve any of that vitriol he slung at her. His shoulders relax the slightest bit and he rubs at his face. ] Don't worry. I'm fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
