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.]

Okay, SPiKA. I can work with that.

Do you all have your own themes or what? Like how Sportsball Spice is into the sportsball.

[please don't let Dave talk about sports.]

Ummm... not really? We specialize in different things, though? As idols, I mean.

I don't really get what that means. What are idol things?

Things you do as a representative for your agency-- for example, Reika's incredible at modeling, and Haruna's a really good actress. Being an idol doesn't just mean singing on a stage.

[that's not too different, and yet still pretty different somehow, from what he understands about how music groups operate in America. not that Dave ever particularly paid them much attention — he just listens to music he thinks sounds good, and ignores any Backstreet Boys vs. NSync political intrigue that gets cooked up alongside it.]

[but, now they're getting somewhere. they are one step closer to a nickname. and he can't help but notice she's left out a detail, here.]

Makes sense. So, Reika does modeling, Haruna does acting, and Rion...

Singing's my specialty, actually.

[ she's not terribly humble about it. ]

[hm.]

All right. You've given me enough that I can come up with a good nickname — lemme think on it for a bit.

[maybe not right this second, though. right now, Dave is interested in pulling out another bottle of water and leaning forward so he can pour just a tiny bit over the back of his neck. god, it's even worse out here than it ever was in Houston.]

Take your time! I don't remember there being a deadline, and you already look like you were overheating.

[ because it's godawful hot outside. That's fair. ]

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.]

Really? Are you from somewhere hot?

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

... Lava? Are there volcanoes in Texas?

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.]

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

[ well. It's possible. ]

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]

[ and then Diane came back to her roots. ]

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

[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.

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

[ and friends and family she misses. ]

[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?

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

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

Might've just been me, though.

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

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.

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

[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.]
