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.]

Proboscises don't do that that's what legs are for. Do you type with your tongue?

don't answer that though.

No I'm not. Unless that wasn't just a dream. Someone set of fireworks in the cafeteria and robot caught on fire and Ryuji was involved but I don't know how I knew that.

[bu773rfly]

What ghost?

[oculusriffs]

well yeah duh

[she told you not to answer that Dave....]

that kinda sounds more like a tz question than a dave question though

anyway id tell you to go scope it out because outside will answer that a thousand times faster than i can
and fireworks arent implausible atm
but like
the fuck was with those earlier texts
are you okay

[bu773rfly]

I already know she licks things that's not a secret Dave. Don't throw people under the bus.

had a fever yesterday. Sorry for leaving you out of the loop I told maybe three people then slept all day. Can you just take a picture or something??

[oculusriffs]

what
man im not throwing anybody under the bus
just stating blatant fact

yeah ill send you a picture
lemme take care of something first

[he kind of gets the sense that Erika is a bit like him — in the sense that when he's sick or feeling off, he's not all that great at being fussed over.]

[and Dave has a very short list of people and/or things that bring him instant comfort. so instead of barging in and trying to argue over whether she should go check out medbay, even if he'd argue that it's not the worst idea ever, he'll opt for an item off that list: maybe ten minutes after that last text, he casually slides a few packets underneath the door to her apartment and wanders off.]

[it's not as good as fresh apple juice, but the drink packets are close enough.]




[and then later, true to his word, he sends a picture of the hallway leading up to the café. it sort of looks like a simulation of a park got in a fight with a simulation of the interior of a house and nobody has any idea who won.]

[bu773rfly]

[If he thinks he can get away with that with dignity unprodded he's wrong. Five minutes after gift delivery:]

Thank you Dave, love you too.

[The reply to the picture is more immediate.]

Is it solid?

[oculusriffs]

[don't poke the dignity and what little coolkid cred he has left, Erika!!!]

man dont worry about it
its cool

but yeah
its kinda like the memory simulator thing ate a rotten byte and used the entire base as a toilet
thats how bad code works right

[bu773rfly]

No.

[bu773rfly]

Be careful. The simulations are real altered space and if they're not contained you might get lost in another dimension or something. I don't think chances are high but who knows. I'll come take a look ASAP.

[It's like the station all over again, in a way. Complete with a gnawing sense of personal responsibility.]

[oculusriffs]

yeah okay



wait arent you still sick
i mean im guessing you could unshit a code glitch better than anyone
but thats not gonna help if youre sick and also lost in another dimension

un: mrbellucci

[protegge]

whats up
i hear youre gonna try to talk to pentandra about the underwater gundam

lmk if you want a hand. he likes me

[oculusriffs]

does he
i was gonna try my rpg emphatic duty deal on him
and if that doesnt work i was gonna recount the plot to santa claus conquers the martians
see if he can be outdone on his word vomit
or rap at him
can you bust a good rhyme

[protegge]

not as far as i know
but ive never tried so maybe

if i could rap anything itd be santa claus conquers the martians-related

[oculusriffs]

god damn dude
regardless of if you actually use this to distract a cactus
ima need to hear your thesis in verse
like if i dont get your thoughts on santas inner psyche when hes teaching martians about the yuletides or whatever
delivered in a fuckin sick flow
i might actually fly off the handle

[protegge]

you just wanna hear me fuck up real bad
unless the fact that i cant sing at all means im the worlds best rapper secretly

thatd be kind of great though
id be the first italian christmas rapper
sleigh-z

[oculusriffs]

nah that aint it
well yeah okay thats pretty much it
but tearing out a good rhyme on a whim
or even a kinda shitty one that you can massage a little bit
make it something sleigh-z would wanna leave behind under the christmas tree
thats like the best fuckin feeling in the world


also if you need a cheesy beatboxer i know a guy

[protegge]

is it you
is the cheesy beatboxer you

[bu773rfly]

So you're volunteering to come with me? Great.

[oculusriffs]

i guess i could on commission or something
but nah
im talking about ryuji

[oculusriffs]

youd be sleuthing the broken simulators even if i backed out right
so yeah
put my name down on the volunteer list
just wait til i get back there

[and some three minutes later, there's a knock at Erika's door.]

[ryuji]

ᕕ༼⌐■-■༽ᕗ

[oculusriffs]

[brb finding someone to tattoo that on his shoulderblade.]

gesundheit

[ryuji]

I don't know what that means

But look at that it looks just like you it's awesome

[oculusriffs]

youre right it really does
i like the arm action deal hes got going on there
feels like its accurate as its gonna get

does this mean i get to make one for you

2/14; mid-afternoon

[gotyourbach]

Dave-kun!

[Next time Dave is in town, doing something very cool I'm sure, Kaede steps right out in front of him, both hands clasped behind her back with a mischievous grin.]

You know what today is, right? I got you something!!
