Only if you do. [Sulky...but he does as he's told anyway.] So why? I mean I believe you that he is an okay person, but I am curious. We have met a lot of people here by now.

[parodeity]

"Oh, drat. However will I find a topic of conversation that doesn't involve discussions of repressed homosexuality or dicks. You've effectively crippled my entire ability to converse, in one fell swoop."

[ he just verbatim repeats something ignis typed to him. ]

[windeity]

[Just. Staring.]

Oh. [That. That sure sounds like Rose Lalonde and his mouth downturns a little. It's still hard to think about being here without the girls, but at least that makes sense.]

...why were you trying to have a conversation about repressed homosexuality or dicks anyway? [Sure. Focus on that.]

[parodeity]

Oh my god. I was tryin' not to. [ as in he banned both those topics of conversation. ]

[windeity]

I have a lot of concerns suddenly. [But there's a teasing grin which means he's just fucking with him.]

[parodeity]

[ i appreciate that dave literally got away with murder in this thread by never actually telling john what HE did in the forest ftr

dave rolls his eyes and eats some more of his soup. ]

Moving on.

[windeity]

[The best part about friendship with John Egbert is that he's kind of oblivious that way. So instead he's busy giggling because it's genuinely amusing to him.]

Yeah, sure. But if that is really what he sounds like I think I see your point.

[parodeity]

You should try talkin' to him. That's, like. Exactly it.

[windeity]

I might message him just out of curiosity. If that's not weird. And even if it's weird I probably will anyway.

[parodeity]

You've only rarely let fear of being weird stop you from doing shit and that shit has never been bothering people randomly. By all means go for it? No one has really lived until they've had a Harleybert shove friendship down their throat via a random message.

[windeity]

You make it sound like Jade and I force people to be our friend. [But given he's grinning that's maybe not too far off the mark.]

...if Jade were around, she'd definitely befriend everybody in town.

[parodeity]

It's less force and more you're impossible to say no to.

[windeity]

You think? [A shrug.] I guess maybe I just like talking to people and never really think about it that way. It has worked out for making alliances and stuff here though.

[parodeity]

Alliances? You're makin' it sound like we're on Survivor and any day now we're gonna meet up to vote someone off the island. [ ... ] Who would you vote off the island?

[windeity]

Probably this girl who told me I couldn't be a god. [He's not salty about it, but he's still a little annoyed so there's that.] Why, do you have somebody else in mind already?

[parodeity]

Oh, the one who was doin' the registry of skills? I ended up not givin' her the full rundown on mine since she flipped about 'em. [ he doesn't answer... ]

[windeity]

Yeah. I figured she was just going to get mad if I told her everything I could do so I just did not. She was mad about the windy thing and stuff. I guess I am not used to that.

[parodeity]

Yeah, not worth it. [ a shrug. ] Maybe she'll calm down later but if not no use gettin' someone upset about shit.

[ that's about the extent of it. ]

Think you can handle seconds?

[windeity]

I'm not upset. [There's a petulant little pout but then he looks down at the bowl in his hands.] I guess seconds aren't bad. Are you still hungry? [Can you say no to this hopeful, watchful face, Dave?]

[parodeity]

I mean there's no reason to upset her by like...existing. [ he mostly means he doesn't intend to bring up any powers around her again or argue about it ever...anyway he sets his bowl aside to paddle more stew soup whatever into john's bowl. dave has yet to finish his bowl. ] I eat slower than you, I guess?

[windeity]

I think that is probably because you keep talking. [He takes the bowl back though and gives Dave another grin. His glasses, finally, get flipped back down so he can see. He doesn't immediately down this one like the last but he holds the bowl in his hands anyway.]

I don't mind people here. Not even Vriska and Terezi.

[parodeity]

[ that's weirdly disappointing. the glasses thing. ]

Yeah, I didn't think so since you're you. Ditto though? I didn't get on with maybe one person tops but it ain't like I mind them.

[windeity]

Dare I ask which person? [Sorry John likes to see, Dave.]

[parodeity]

Just someone on the forums who didn't think I was taking any of this seriously enough.

[windeity]

Dumb. I think all of us are taking this as seriously as possible.
