[windeity]

[That's a great question.]

Possibly. [But he focuses on Mewpac instead for now.] You asked me not to, so yeah. I wouldn't.

[parodeity]

...I asked you not to inside our room.

[ he hadn't actually thought john would keep his pranks to himself outside of the room? ]

But you've never tried anything out there, either.

[windeity]

I can if you want. I am getting a little rusty anyway. [Lazily. He's not really serious about that and given that he's letting the cat bat at his finger instead that's pretty clear.]

[parodeity]

It was more an if you want thing? [ what is dave trying to do with his life, followup question to what is john trying to do with his life. ]

[windeity]

[He lifts an eyebrow.] I mean. Thanks, I think, but that is also kind of a weird thing to say, dude.

[parodeity]

[ it’s less weird with the context of dave spending a lifetime trying to give someone what they wanted or what he thought they wanted but yeah oops ]

We’re best friends?

[windeity]

Yeah, we are. And any pranks I pull on you outside of the room will come later probably. [If at all. Somehow after everything he learned in October the idea of pranking Dave specifically isn't appealing. He even sounds mildly disinterested as he gets more comfortable, sort of stretching on Dave's bed so he can pet the cat with one hand and navigate his phone and the Retrospec post with the other.]

[parodeity]

[ ...at least dave is self aware enough to realize this his knee jerk concern this is some kind of trap is stupid as hell. as is probably usual with him, he doesn’t shift as john situates himself or after, careful not to jostle him on accident.]

Aren’t you supposed to be celebrating blue?

[windeity]

There are way too many fake spiders in my bed to bother shaking them out right now. I will do that later. Plus I am definitely celebrating blue. My bed looks good and not like it belongs in a prison cell.

[parodeity]

I can do it fast if you want. [ Why is he offering...but ok looks like john is hanging out at least until bed? ] Anything interesting on the network?

[windeity]

[He lazily waves his hand like he's saying "don't worry about it" or such.]

Looks like a bunch of new people again. This shit really is bi-monthly. Also are you arguing with people about apple juice versus orange juice?

[parodeity]

It’s not an argument because I’m right.

[windeity]

Other juices exist in this world besides apple. [There's a snicker though.] Can't wait to see what happens when some of these people realize oranges also have faces.

[parodeity]

I have my reasons. [ anyway is john laying on top of his legs here or what what position exactly am I dealing with for both cats? ]

[windeity]

Whatever. [He's like. Partially sprawled on Dave's legs and spilling onto the bed so kind or perpendicular. This way Dave's legs are pinned, he can see his bed, and also he can pet the cat while browsing his phone.]

But I've been talking to a lot of people so that is always nice.

[parodeity]

Yeah? [ ok. dave reaches down to toy with john’s hair idly because john has normalized the dumbest shit. ] Talk about anything interesting today?

[windeity]

[He doesn't object or anything and so Dave's allowed to do that while John's distracted with his phone.]

I found a few other people who like the idea of mailbox science, so there's that. And this girl who might experiment with trying to purposefully ignore anything she remembers with no reaction at all.

[parodeity]

[ this is stupid. but he will keep doing that, idly. ]

That doesn't work out, usually.

[windeity]

I didn't think it would, but then I made her think about horses and that was actually hilarious. It's kind of fun being on the other side of stuff. [It is stupid because he's also relaxing under Dave's hand so. Okay.]

[parodeity]

[ ok cool dave will just keep carding his hand through john's hair ig. why. ]

You mean as opposed to when I made you think about horses?

[windeity]

[Because they're stupid. Hilariously while he's letting Dave do that his hand's mirroring the motion over Mewpac's head.]

Okay well first of all, fuck you, but second of all yes exactly. It is way funnier this way and now I get it.

[parodeity]

[ cool time to die ]

That means I'm in the clear for doin' it to you. Hey, so...what are your weekend plans?

[windeity]

I don't think that's how it works. [But. Ah.] ...well Saturday we need to pick what we want to do. Breakfast and movie marathon maybe? Or video games. And Sunday I am going to Ayano's for a little while I think. [Which he is currently planning while apparently arguing about if he's dating Dave. Cool.]

...and...maybe something else...

[parodeity]

[ ...john you suck at lying and you haven't even started lying or anything. ]

You should make me breakfast. [ APPARENTLY HE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO BOTHER CALLING JOHN ON THE BLATANT UNCERTAINTY. ]

[windeity]

Because I made you make me eggs? [A teasing smile before he finally looks up from his phone.] ...hilariously I know exactly what I would make you. So sure. Why not?
