towerofanimus | You say "Goodbye"

Characters: Dave Strider and everyone ever
Setting: Wherever, everywhere, go nuts man
Format: Any; I'll follow whatever you want!
Summary: The best time to arrive somewhere is during an event. That's exactly what seems to have happened for this kid.
Warnings: Dave being an insufferable prick to everyone ever, sass, cussing, copious amounts of swag, Kim trying to get Dave killed in his intro (I'm being serious).

[Room 1-04]
Dave read the letters. He already thought the first one was utter bullshit. His world was destroyed way before this tower saved his ass. Wow, talk about late to the party. He read the second one a little more seriously. Considering that there probably isn't any way out (he's getting too used to being stuck in places, dear god), he should know how to get around.

He changed out of whatever bullshit he woke up in, putting on one of the broken record t-shirts, jeans, and converse. He made sure his shades were placed perfectly over his face before noticing the collar around his neck.

Dave tapped his finger against the collar, shook his head and headed out.

[Everywhere else ever]
In retrospect, he should have grabbed one of his shitty swords. Oh well.

"Hey." He's probably trying to get your attention. He hates to be the new guy, but Dave really needed to know what he was in for. There had to be more then to what these letters had to say. "On a scale from piece of cake to I warned you dog, how bad of an idea is it to try and get these piece of shits off our necks? We can also use a scale of one to ten if that makes it easier. I would ask where the nearest exit is, but seeing as you're here, it seems like a dumb question to ask."

Dave never even got past "Hey".

John had been sitting at the edge of the pool in full garb, pushing the water along with little puffs of air. But as soon as he turned around and caught sight of the person talking to him, John jumped right up and ran closer. His face was glowing like a lightbulb. "Dave!"

"Woah. I know I'm irresistible, but you got to chill a bit. People are going to start getting thoughts about us. It's hard to explain the difference between a platonic bromance and a not so platonic bromance." Well. Now he doesn't really mind this place as much. This was a lot better then waiting three years to see your best bro in the flesh.

"Where's the off switch on you, jegus. You're brighter then that shitty green sun." But hey, Dave might be offering up a bit of a smile.

"Oh, sorry." John stopped after he was standing in front of Dave, but the grin was still splitting his face. "It's just that I've been here a really long time--" well okay, more like a few months, but Dave didn't need to know that-- "and I missed you guys! There's so much I have to tell you about this place, Dave. So much." For some reason, he sounds absolutely overjoyed at explaining the nuances of the Hellhole of Animus to a wannabe cool kid.

"How long is a really long time?" You can't see the eyebrow raise behind the shades of his. "Well, you're here and so am I. Yap away, Egderp. I think I can spare you some...tim-I'm not even going to finish that. Holy shit."

Wow, the fact he almost went with it too. God that was lame. Time puns were not funny before, they're not funny now.

His smile persists all through Dave's epic terminology fail. "Well, uh, one thing you need to know about this place is that there's a lot of weird alternate versions of us walking around! Like I know there's a you who talks like Rose. And also there's a world where you and I and Rose and Jade are all just characters in someone's tabletop campaign, so they might get super excited so you should look out for them! Uh, what else..."

Wow, this kid can talk.

"A me. That talks like Rose." He isn't going to believe that until he sees it, dear god. It sounds like a terrible mix. "So what? Suddenly we're a bunch of Monopoly pieces to them? How many of us are running around here exactly? Not that it's any different then at home. Pretty sure Jade saw like sixteen of me all at once, but that's besides the point. They were all me. This more sounds like Attack of the Clones."

Dear god, you talk a mile a minute.

"Yes, a you that talks like Rose! ...It was a little weird, but he was an okay guy, I guess. Totally cagey, just like you." He means 'cagey', of course, in the most kind and accepting possible way. "Uh, how many of us... I don't know. Do you count the trolls? Because there's trolls. A lot of trolls."

Gosh, he missed you. There was not enough coolkid in his life.

"I'm not cagey," he replies a little too quickly. Oops. A little quick to refute that statement. Oh well.

"Trolls count. I was with Pyrope, Vantas, some troll that was a Twilight parody, the clowny one fuck if I remember his name." Aradia and Sollux stayed behind so they no longer were part of their party. "Shit. Is Lalonde here?"

Everyone needs a coolkid in their life.

"Oh yeah, there's a lot more than them. A few adult trolls too, I think." Pause. "...Wait, you met them in real life?" He comes from the very end of Act 5, so unfortunately all he saw was Jade in her new threads. "No, I don't think so. Neither is Jade. It's just you and me!" He smiles, almost apologetically.

"Yeah. Met them right after we got our god tier threads in order." Oh dear lord. One day, Dave will tell you how much you fucked up by throwing a bucket at the group.

"That's cool. No girls to walk all over our broship right?" He's a little disappointed in hearing that, although he does his best to keep it out of his voice and face. Maybe it was better that they weren't here. He isn't so sure.

"...God tier threads?!"

Apparently this is another thing John had not been informed of. He was wearing his regular outfit, so John had assumed... but god tier? That is so cool!!!! "Oh, I didn't know you were in the god tiers now! Congrats!" Cool kid mockery be damned. He's pretty excited right now.

That's because Dave looks like a complete dweeb in his. John would never let him hear the end of it or something. "We blew shit up and all we got were some shitty hoods, dog. I guess it was better then what I thought was actually going to happen though."

"Pretty slick though. Now all of us can run around in pajamas like no ones business."

You say "Goodbye"
