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.]

[oculusriffs]

Nah, this is nothing.

[how much you wanna bet he's going to have a sunglasses tan line by the time they get back to the hub. that's what you get for never taking them off, you dork.]

[flyingsolos]

Really? Are you from somewhere hot?

[oculusriffs]

Texas. Spent a lot of time around lava, too, but that was mostly just annoying.

[flyingsolos]

... Lava? Are there volcanoes in Texas?

[oculusriffs]

Nope, that was on another planet.

[is he serious? is he just messing with her? you decide! it's impossible to tell based on the neutral expression he's wearing alone.]

[flyingsolos]

... Huh? Wait, are you some kind of world-hopping veteran?

[ well. It's possible. ]

[oculusriffs]

You could say that, yeah. It wasn't really by choice, though.

[kia i just realized that i'm basically rp'ing a very foul mouthed antihero sora]

[flyingsolos]

[ and then Diane came back to her roots. ]

I don't think this whole thing was exactly by choice, either... I'm sorry, though.

[oculusriffs]

[as it turns out i'm actually completely predictable.]

Don't worry about it. It's one of those things that was supposed to happen.

[he's better off here than he was back home in pretty much every way, honestly. his role in a particular method of universal construct is finished. here, at least, he has a good shot at leading a normal existence.]

[as normal as hopping around worlds with a bunch of magical people from a whole pile of universes gets, anyway. but Dave is pretty weird himself, after all.]

I'm guessing Astoria will send everyone home when we're done runnin' her errands, anyway.

[flyingsolos]

That'd be nice! I do still kind of have a life to live back home.

[ and friends and family she misses. ]

[oculusriffs]

[if there's a ghost of a smile on his end at all, it's an oddly rueful one.]

Japan, right? What's it like there?

[flyingsolos]

... Lively. Always something going on, so it was never boring.

[oculusriffs]

Houston was the same way. It always seemed to come with an air of indifference, too.

Might've just been me, though.

[flyingsolos]

Indifference, huh? People only worried about their own problems?

[oculusriffs]

That's pretty much how it is everywhere, isn't it? After a while, you sort of stop giving a shit in the same way.

[flyingsolos]

... That's not the case with everyone.

[oculusriffs]

[he turns slightly to look at her, silent, to see if she'll elaborate. it's not that he's incredulous, if there's anything written there in his look. he's just a kid who's been burned a lot in the past.]

[flyingsolos]

The last time something happened to Morimiya, the whole town jumped in to lend a hand. People weren't just running for their lives, they were offering places to use as shelter, and jumping into the fray to help out.

[[OOC: Assuming they did actually exchange names in some fashion, or she just found him in the network directory...?? I am the worst at remembering to do IC introductions]

If you're not too busy in the coming week or so, do you think you could help me with something I'm planning?

[oculusriffs]

[he props his chin up in one hand, tilting his head slightly. dem squishy cheeks!!]

Sounds a hell of a lot different than what I'm used to. Can't help but picture you in the middle of the fray, either.

[that's not meant to be a premonition or anything. it's not like Dave can see into the future, not unless he time travels, anyway. and that particular talent of his is closed for business.]

[it's probably more of an educated guess, a wager based on the fact that Rion is out here singing in the normal sort of chaos you'd find in the marketplace in the first place.]

[oculusriffs]

(it's all good! I'm cool with them having done the formal introductions. C: )

yeah no problem
i can clear my to do list
cross lounging around and taming the forest creatures off my calendar
those are all easily rescheduled
what do you need me to do

(forgot to note that this is late June/early July)

[tranquilforest]

[If she were there in person, she'd be leaning in with a smile that's just a little bit pleased and conspiratorial.]

I'm trying to plan a party, but I'm still looking for people who can help.

Especially with the music.

[oculusriffs]

[Dave, for his part in this hypothetical in-person conversation, would be lighting right the hell up, in that still sort of reserved way he does.]

you got it
what kinda music did you have in mind

action!!

[purrtagonist]

[you'd think by now that Akira would have learned to stay away from the glowing flowers in the clearing. even knowing that Something was Up with that particular bioluminescent flora wasn't enough to keep his curiosity at bay, though. and so. . .!]

[Dave just so happens to be the unfortunate first person he sees on his trip back from said clearing. with a few purple petals poking out of his pockets, he suddenly slides riiiiight up next to his fusion attack buddy, mouth curved into a relieved grin]

Just the man I wanted to see. You've got great timing.

[well, so far, so good?]

[oculusriffs]

[one of the pair of punning peripatetics was bound to do this eventually. what they share in addition to weird wordplay and fusion attacks is a whole heap of curiosity.]

[so, uh. hey .... Akira... great timing. that might just be more on-the-nose phrasing than he realizes.]

Yeah? What's up?
