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."

You should show me! That sounds really neat - like something the Hero of Time could do in the legends.

I can't do anything like that; I'm the Hero of Winds.

[knightime]

Hero...of time? [That's...so weird. Considering he's the Knight of Time. It kind of threw him off.] I guess I'd need to find something or someone to stop. I'll show you some other time. We'll probably see each other around.

[What. Hero of Winds. Is this a joke? John is the Heir of Breath. Jegus christ, someone take the wheel.]

[cantstopme]

Yeah, the Hero of Time.

But it would be really neat if I could see it some time, even if it's not now. I've never seen someone use time stuff like that.

Do you promise you'll show me?

[knightime]

That's some crazy coincidence. [It's probably only a coincidence, but still.]

Yeah. I pinky swear you'll see that shit sometime. Maybe in a few weeks. You know, gotta settle in. Get used to living in a creepy tower like a damsel in distress.

[cantstopme]

[Oh; don't mind if he holds his pinky up to you then, Dave.]

I don't get how that's a coincidence, though.

[knightime]

[Wow, this is so ironic. He has to go through with it. He hooks his pinky around yours.]

I meant the Hero of Time shit. I apparently had some shitty Knight of Time title thrown at me.

[cantstopme]

[And then it's a pinky swear, complete with the handshake.]

Oh! Maybe... you're supposed to be someone's knight, then?
People don't usually get called stuff like that if it's not true.

[knightime]

Guess so. I wouldn't know. It isn't something I particularly think about. I don't need some title telling me what to do or who to be. [He shrugs nonchalantly.]

[cantstopme]

But you're lucky you have one to help you.

I had to work really hard and earn mine, and a lot of people still think I'm "just a kid", even though I killed the evil guy who was putting everyone in danger.

If I knew I was supposed to be a hero from the beginning, it would've made a lot of stuff a lot easier, I think.

[knightime]

I don't think anyone cares about the titles where I'm from. They mean something, but everyone kind of had a title when we started our shit.

I'm thirteen, so people would still think I'm "just a kid." Fuck them and do what you want.

[cantstopme]

[WHOAH.]

You're... you're a lot younger than I thought you were! You seem a lot older...

[Link it's because you're nine.]

[knightime]

Nope. Thirteen, although I wonder if I should be offended that you mistook me for being older or not.
