You say "Goodbye"

[knightime]

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."

[He's just giving you this incredulous look.]

Okay. So your name is Link. You've met more Links that look like you? Is there, like a way for me to tell you Links apart? I'm Dave, just so you know.

[cantstopme]

Well, the Link I met was a lot taller and I think he was older than me.
But I don't know how to tell him and the other Link apart, since I haven't met the other Link.

I guess, um... you could give us nicknames or something.

[Ok don't blame him, he's only nine.]

[knightime]

Nicknames aren't really my thing. I guess I'll just wing it.

I've only met you, anyways. [Sob. One of the Links are in the same room as him...] I mean, I guess I can just call you Lil' Link. If you're the smallest. Or I can be Goldilocks and you Links can be bears. Guess you're the baby Bear.

[cantstopme]

I'm not a baby. [FROWN.]

But I guess I'm the smallest... I haven't met a smaller Link.
Just a tall one that came from the sky.

[knightime]

Didn't say you were a baby. These are nicknames, remember?

You do realize how crazy that sounds right? 'Man, I met this guy who looks kind of like me. He's taller then me. Oh, and he totally fell from the sky.' Right.

[cantstopme]

Well... It's not that hard to believe.

I sailed on a giant sea in a talking boat.
I can also use magic arrows.

[shrug]

Living in the sky isn't too hard to believe.

[knightime]

Yeah. Well, I traveled through time and got to hang out with myself. [Oh wait.]

Still doesn't make it weird. Some people actually would think we're off our rockers right about now. I've never heard of people living in the sky though.

[cantstopme]

I think he said he lived on floating islands, up there.
It sounds kind of neat, to me.

I don't know why they were floating, though...

[knightime]

I wouldn't be able to tell you.

I'd need to find out how they stayed afloat in the first place.

[cantstopme]

Well, um...

[They sure are talking about the other Link a lot. :|a]

... Where did you come from, Dave?

[knightime]

[And he hasn't even met him. Oh dear.]

Houston, Texas. But you mentioned magic talking boats, so I assume that you aren't familiar with that.

[cantstopme]

Nuh-uh. I don't think that's anywhere on the Great Sea...

[At least, not anywhere he's heard of.]

[knightime]

The Great Sea? As in you only have one huge ass sea?

[What...]

[cantstopme]

Mhm. One, big sea.

Lots of little islands on it, but that's all there is. 'S why I used a boat.

[knightime]

Yeah, no. Shits a little different. We got a bunch of seas, which are basically the same sea since they all attach, and we got a bunch of not so tiny islands.

[cantstopme]

Not so tiny islands?

Are they as big as the seas?

[That sounds... really cool, actually.]

[knightime]

Kind of. I guess. They were pretty large. We're talking about millions or billions of people living on the same land.

I'm guessing that's pretty huge compared to what you're used to.

[cantstopme]

...

How big is millions?

[knightime]

Just imagine your biggest island with the most inhabitants. And probably multiple those people by the biggest number you can imagine. Then do it a few more times.

[cantstopme]

... That's, uh...

That's a lot of people. Those must be really big islands...

[He can hardly imagine all of those people. 8(]

[knightime]

We don't call them islands. More like continents. We still got islands and they're fucking miniature if you compare them.

[Poor thing. He'll give you time to take it all in.]

[cantstopme]

They're so big that you have to call them something else?

[... One second, he needs to count something on his fingers -]

We only have... ten people on my island.

[knightime]

Jegus Christ. Dude, no wonder these numbers sound crazy huge to you. Ten compared to a billion. So lets say. Ten has one zero in it. One hundred has two. Etc. We're talking like nine zeroes behind that one.

[cantstopme]

Nine!?

[WHOAH. WHOAH OKAY, BACK UP. The only number of people he could picture for a million was like... a hundred!]

That's... that's a lot of people! I don't know what I'd do if I had to save that many people...

[knightime]

Oh. Well, thankfully. You don't...have to save that many people. Aren't you like nine? What are you doing trying to save people?

[Like he's one to talk. He's only 13.]
