[Dorm Levels]
A young man stands in his dorm room.

Hahaha. Except he's been doing this for forty years, so it's not all that surprising. Dave was more mystified over the fact that his Ninetales looks much too young. Hell, he's pretty sure she's in the exact condition she was when he first got her when he turned fourteen. She seems rather confused too, almost not recognizing him for who he is. It's only a brief moment before she's approached Dave and is licking at his hands and headbutting him affectionately.

Dave kneel down to inspect her thoroughly. He felt the strange pause in time. Of course he did. It's impossible not to have felt it at his level. Dave has basically mastered what he can of his aspect. Like a real knight of time.

This? This makes absolutely no sense, not that time ever really did. He inspects her for a minute longer before trying to check the time on the terminals.

Welp. That was a useless endeavor.

Dave beckons her to follow him, intent on leaving the Dorm and out to the other floors. Perhaps you're in the room or perhaps you were looking for Dave right as he's about to head out.

[Floor 38: Lounge]
Dave was sprawled out on one of the beanbags letting Missy run about the room. He usually chooses this floor over floor four, being farther away and making it a little more quiet.

He's got a pad of paper at hand and he's lazily sketching things out. Mainly, Missy, although it's hard when she was all over the place. Not having a camera lead to being out of a hobby. He's picked up drawing again to make up for the inability to take photos. It was a good way to pass time and it was something he could do quietly.

[Floor 3: Library]
He's used the library a lot more since he's gotten older, burying himself in as many books as he can and reading them. Right now? He's seeing if maybe there's anyway to gather information on the current predicament. He highly doubts it, but it's also nice to touch up on things like this anyways.

Maybe he'll just read a really shitty, raunchy, romance novel while he's here.

Comments

Lounge! And late as fuck oops.

[tentacletrainer]

She was already a little drunk, and shit spotting Dave only made her grab a drink to go. He was too old. Not that she wasn't too old too, but Dave had to be older than her. Though at least she was young and beautiful and a total vixen compared to someone in their group. Making her way over to him, she nudges her butt next to his on his seat, glancing at his drawing whilst keeping her drink away from it.

"So what'cha drawing Davey?"

<3

[rememberstime]

He doesn't want to hear anything about age. He's probably older than he actually is. That's what happens when you're a time traveler though. Oh dang, you're the worst drunk, Rose. Except not really. He actually finds her drunk nature kind of funny sometimes. Sometimes it makes him worried though.

He chuckles silently and points his finger to Missy, who's stopped her antics to stare at Rose. Missy is confused! She approaches them, curious as to who the stranger next to Dave was and why she looks a lot like Rose!

<3!

[tentacletrainer]

Glancing up to where he's pointing, she smiles. And then oh! Hello Missy, feel free to investigate as you please. She's just going to pet you some. "Hey there darling. I hear you've become a model for Dave." She is none too heartbroken about getting the chance to give her copious amounts of love, considering her Espeon has been wary of her all day.

Part of the reason she's drinking.

"So. How fucked up is the time stream?" Directed at Dave.

[rememberstime]

Missy would be more wary if she weren't such a spoiled brat. That's probably a good thing about her being spoiled. She isn't too picky where she gets her attention as long as she gets it. She seems all content getting affection from Rose.

He flips to a blank page.

do you mean the fact that were here
or
are you asking how much worst its gotten from my pov
because theres a ton of answers for both as far as im concerned

[tentacletrainer]

"Mmmmmmmm better make it both in that case." And she's taking another drink from her cup before pulling the rest of herself onto the couch, veritably snuggling against Dave and effectively making everything more difficult for him. Or she hopes so. She feels like picking on him oops. One hand is still lazily petting Missy though, scritching her chin and combing through her fur.

[rememberstime]

You are making this really hard for him. Like how the fuck is he supposed to write when you're all up in his grill like this. Gosh. He might as well give up trying to write right now.

He does his best though, even if it's a little awkward.

eh well
standard tower shit
bad shit happens to us
we deal with it
life keeps going
i dont think theres necessarily huge things to explain
oh i might have accidentally cockblocked john from getting some a few times
is that worth noting?

the other thing is
eh dont worry about it

He doesn't want to tell Rose that they probably don't exist passed this. Sober or drunk. He thinks he's okay with keeping that to himself even if it kind of unsettles him a bit.
