IM STILL CRY

[oculusriffs]

[man, Sayori knows exactly how to lure in a Dave: pique his admittedly very easy to pique curiosity. and also, it's not like he was gonna say no to her.]

[after glancing at his bracer, he slinks out of whatever dark corner he was chilling in (lbr, he gave up on sitting through class several loops ago), and wanders over to the shrines.]

Hey, Sa — [SUDDENLY, BIRTHDAY.]

[Dave looks genuinely shocked for a split second, for ... a number of reasons. one, he's surprised someone else was keeping track of the days — ever since he blew up on an appropriately themed slab of god tier, tracking seconds as they tick by has kind of come naturally to him — and two, at least partly due to one, he'd been entirely expecting to turn 18 without any fanfare at all.]

[not that he's all that used to much fanfare to begin with. but Dave's reaction here is likely awfully similar to the expression he wore the first time he opened up a box from John, only to find the pair of sunglasses that are now sitting on his face. that is to say — a very impressive smile is very blatantly, very easily, cracking through.]

You remembered. [he is going to treasure that card — it's going up on the wall of his room the second he gets a chance, the place where all the things from his friends that he loves go. well ... they either go on the wall or they get pickled.]

I, uh. [he looks very slightly bashful!!!] Thanks, Sayori. A sick rhyme's literally the best thing you could've given me.

>:3c

[He could probably try to pickle the card but it's not laminated so that might not end well.

It didn't seem possible for her expression to get any brighter, but when she realizes that he's smiling, actually for real smiling, her eyes go wide with excitement at the rare sight. She clasps her hands together, clutching them in front of her giddy grin like she's trying to keep this crazy amount of exuberance contained to her tiny form.] I did!! It's been hard to figure out the days but I've been taking lots of notes! [Very proud of herself. For the notes or for making Dave happy? Maybe both.]

You were my first friend here so there's no way I'd miss something like this.

[Does he know that? Maybe he didn't know that. But Sayori is not one to overthink statements of friendship so that's just how it's gonna be.]

[oculusriffs]

[the look he offers her after he busted out that rare smile drop is an awfully empathetic one. time travel has a way of setting an entire dinner table's worth of spinning plates on your nose, doesn't it? even when it's just one loop that keeps repeating itself — even when you aren't the person actually reaching over with a hand and bumping the plates, maintaining their momentum.]

[Dave would never hold losing track of time against someone. it's obnoxious enough trying to understand it even when you're literally designed to, so the effort Sayori's gone to here is more than appreciated. it means a lot to him.]

Was I? [he kind of gets the sense that Sayori would have made friends with literally the first living being who happened to wander within a few feet for more than five minutes, but he won't downplay the meaning she's putting out there, either.]

[he looks down at the cupcake and card. then he glances over his shoulder at the shrine setup she's got going.]

Y'feel like rehashing some day one raps, then? Remixing's one of my specialties.
