Do you want to explore the anomalies URSULA noticed? If there's too high a risk of plot we can pass it up and explore how Trousersnake is doing instead.
hes fine i visit him at least once a week idk though are you @ the base which anomalies in specific has she noticed its at least a thing im more interested in helping with than the whole nancy bullshit arent we p sure shes an unethical scientist or did i pull that out of thin air but i like remember definite kharaa obsession and experimentation and comments at obama when homerun and i found her which i guess maybe should have indicated to me dont take her back somewhere? but what the fuck else were we gonna do i mean i could have let homerun shoot her i guess but im not sure how i would have been able to overcome the like several moral quandaries involved with that long enough to do so because first of all sit the fuck down child and second of all murder is supposedly wrong and i like it when we dont do it for a change of pace like im obviously perfectly capable of murder you know this firsthand but i also think it shouldnt be a first resort to things?
I'm not sure what to do about Nancy. I'm suspicious of her based on what you said. URSULA just said she picked up anomalies with her drones in different areas and would like us to check them out.
we can always ask naoko for an opinion id say ask ursula but i feel like shed tell us ishmael was a swell fellow even were he a homicidal maniac and she knew this to be true shes not well known for having negative opinions about anyone or anything naokos more blunt tho
also idk im not sure i should leave the tower for too long so it depends on the area
[It's breakfast, probably? Dirk waits until Dave finishes his meal. And then, he takes out an old-fashioned camera, in all its glory, and puts it on the table.
He does not say anything because he didn't think about this part of the plan. A+.]
[ yesterday was tuesday, so the time limit to officially end that is either coming up or already passed, since it ends wednesday morning. this mostly means dave was up lateish watching movies and is zoned out even as he kind of tunes into whatever squarewave and wiz are rapping about (cats) and is keeping an idle eye on the object of their raps (macklemeow, who has his own breakfast) while absently going though his to-do list for the day.
it mostly consists of "farming should occur, maybe actually kick your ass into gear about egbert's birthday, contact rose about some exploration if nothing else pops up".
so it takes him a second even after he finishes eating to register dirk's action, not quite sleepy but not fully alert and hopping yet. when he glances down he just.
stares.
so like idiots both striders are sitting there in complete silence while squarewave and wiz provide a background terrible rapoff about cats to macklemeow, who is ignoring them for food. ]
[ there are cats in hats making pacts (a stretch, squarewave) with rats and bats and rolling up mats. so many "ats" up in here and dave can't even fully appreciate the terrible raps that are the bgm to his life these days because his brain has short circuited. he nearly reached out to take the camera before just pausing, apparently still baffled. ]
Uh. Thank you? [ there are practical concerns to use here, like "i have no film or checmicals, though i can repurpose a hoodie for a darkroom if i ever acquire either of those things" and dave finally manages to unpause to at least pick the thing up. he's pretty sure dirk didn't just find this, so he had to have made it.
he stops staring at the camera and transfers his stare to dirk, brow creased in confusion. ]
oh jesus christ i completely forgot about that with the volcano no theres a reward if he clears the three trials which i will make up at some point if he actually gets you to say that dude already got sent to me for a trial and i felt bad after a month and gave him a straight answer but then he was gullible as hell and i couldnt correct him because it was hilarious
I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT BECAUSE I WILL PROBABLY GET SHOT BY LIGHTNING VIA INSERT WHATEVER EARTH DEITY DOES THAT. ALTHOUGH I AM CURIOUS AS TO HOW FAR HE WILL GO TO GET ME TO SAY IT AT THIS POINT SO I THINK I WILL PLAY ALONG.
[ dave's sitting on a couch in the tower, shades in place (he put them on to answer) and he at least cracks half a smile. he looks less tired than he did the last time she saw him by a large margin? ]
Sure does. Good job on your part in the shit - everyone worked pretty hard, huh?
Yes, we were all doing our best. I doubt the outcome would have been...such a relief if everyone hadn't pooled together.
How are you feeling? Your duties were strenuous. [She smiles a little.] You are wearing your sunglasses indoors, so I suppose some things are back to normal.
[So when Dave wakes up, he will find a few things: his Brother Book with the drawings of important places will have been updated to include new ones, and a present box will have been placed at the foot of his bed.]
[ he obviously wakes up the instant dirk moves around? but dirk can persuade him to try to go back to bed, in which case he...immediately wakes up the instant something is placed on the foot of the bed.
#the trouble with striders ]
Are you tryin' to be sneaky for a reason. [ he has to sit up carefully because macklemeow is...on...most of the pillow? cat no. but once he does dave swings his legs off the edge of the bed and looks towards dirk. ] Present time off the bat, huh?

idk though
are you @ the base
which anomalies in specific has she noticed
its at least a thing im more interested in helping with than the whole nancy bullshit
arent we p sure shes an unethical scientist
or did i pull that out of thin air
but i like remember definite kharaa obsession and experimentation
and comments at obama when homerun and i found her
which
i guess maybe should have indicated to me dont take her back somewhere?
but what the fuck else were we gonna do
i mean
i could have let homerun shoot her i guess but im not sure how i would have been able to overcome the like
several moral quandaries involved with that long enough to do so
because
first of all sit the fuck down child
and second of all murder is supposedly wrong and i like it when we dont do it
for a change of pace
like im obviously perfectly capable of murder you know this firsthand
but i also think it shouldnt be a first resort to things?
no subject
what was the question
oh right
just erase everything after my question about anomalies and were good
no subject
URSULA just said she picked up anomalies with her drones in different areas and would like us to check them out.
no subject
id say ask ursula but
i feel like shed tell us ishmael was a swell fellow even were he a homicidal maniac and she knew this to be true
shes not well known for having negative opinions about anyone or anything
naokos more blunt tho
also
idk
im not sure i should leave the tower for too long
so it depends on the area

Dirk still says nothing. Almost every word that rhymes with 'cat' has been explored.
Finally, words:]
It's for you.
If you want.

i feel attacked being the only non-homestuck in this post; video;
When she does contact him, she sends him a video chat. This just seems like the kind of thing they should be talking about face-to-face.]
Dave. Horō speaking. It looks as though we all survived this time.
LOOK............
Sure does. Good job on your part in the shit - everyone worked pretty hard, huh?
