TG: this is going to be fucking stupid isnt it

[want to get in touch with Dave? you can leave a TEXT, VOICE, or VIDEO message — or alternatively, he shouldn't be too hard to track down in person. it's a hunk of junk space house. in space. he's around here somewhere.]

[bold of Gundam to assume Dave remembers the names of things that get mentioned once or twice! this is the same kid who promptly forgot his own point in an argument from five minutes earlier, when it stopped helping his case, and the same kid who once forgot he could time travel. that's like, his biggest shtick!]

[but, actually:]

No.

[oh.]

Wait, is that the same thing as the Project?

[No?]

....

[Do they know the same Hajime Hinata?]

[Project?]

What is this... project of which you speak?

[in all fairness, the first time Dave ever met Hinata, he tried to convince him that he committed a space crime and had been sentenced to life in space jail, so ... highly important things like talent have not really been brought up in casual conversation.]

I think it's this thing where you wear a lab coat and carry around a clipboard and you work on your science fair project. And there are a bunch of sassy teenagers standing around for some reason.

I dunno, though, dude, that was like five months ago, I don't really remember if he elaborated further than that.

[Gundam frowns. None of that sounds familiar at all, but at the same time that's to be expected when you can't remember anything that happened in high school.

Maybe he'd never have any sort of recollection. Maybe it's a Reserve Course event.

Maybe he should get Hajime to talk about himself more.]

... Nevermind.

[None of this has to do with what Dave asked.]

Hope's Peak Academy is the high school we both attended.

My attendance would have been a time passing trifle in the grand scheme of my existence. As if a Supreme Overlord's abilities could ever be bound by the earthly title of "Super High School Level Breeder."

...

Yet unlike Hajime Hinata, I have no recollection of any of the time I spent there. I can only recall our first day. Our time in the actual school was brief as the very fabric of time and space was abruptly torn asunder before our very eyes.

Since that time the Singularity, myself and our classmates have been stranded upon an island lost in midst of an yielding blue abyss.

[if it makes Gundam feel any better about not remembering high school, Dave never even graduated junior high. he has no whacky teen movie memories to begin with!]

... Super High School Level Breeder. [what.]

[but, weirdly enough, he doesn't ... seem all that perturbed by such a wild sounding story? because —]

That's really fuckin' weird, but to be honest, that's the same exact shit that happened to us. Except it was more of a "chill on a lab on a meteor in the middle of space for three years" setup, not an island.

Even got goofy titles like that one, too. Mine's Knight of Time.

That is the Supreme Overlord of Ice to you.

[Wait.]

Knight of Time?

[Is it possible? Gundam never questioned Dave's immortality but he never believed for a moment that he was truly the deigned deity of Hamster Valhalla!]

So you have finally revealed unto me your true name!

[Gundam looks incredibly pleased at this development.]

[Dave doesn't even know what a senpai is, mysteriously vanishing bracket text!!!]

What? Oh, yeah, I guess that's it. I've got my preferences, too, though, Supreme Ovelord of Ice Pop.

[forgive him, Gundam, he doesn't even realize he made a slight enhancement to the title. it just slipped out.]

Just Dave is fine. Or, nah, go with immortal god of hamster Valhalla, that one's pretty cool.

[There's something terrible about Ryuji being the most educated of the three of them.]

Preferences? [San-D climbs down Dave's arm to sit in his hand. If he wants to be the immortal god of hamster Valhalla, that's fine with her. She wants to be showered in affection in retribution for her acknowledgement.]

I can not say I am satisfied with such an explanation. Why do you shirk the class of knighthood?

[Gundam brushes a bit glue onto some cardboard, so Maga-Z and Cham-P can push two tubes of chuu-nnel together.]

[like Dave would ever deny San-D the tiniest of hamster ear scritches. who's a good little devil hamster? god hamster? ... adorable hamster??]

[that's right. in real life, San-D, you are the star. it's you.]

I don't really consider myself knighthood material. [he means that in a much more self-deprecating way than he makes it sound. knights are supposed to be heroes. they're supposed to be the ones who keep their charges, the people who mean the most to them, safe.]

[can't hardly call yourself a knight when you're a catastrophic failure at such a basic thing.]

I mean, I don't even have my renaissance fair cape here.
