[parodeity]

Not half as well as he thinks he does, nah.

[windeity]

Who was this anyway?

[parodeity]

Ryoji, first time I met him.

[windeity]

Oh. That's different, Ryoji's like one of the most cheerful and well-meaning people I've met. I am suddenly no longer surprised.

[parodeity]

Yeah, well. You done looking? [ at the comics he means ]

[windeity]

Oh, yeah, sorry. [He hands the laptop over but he doesn't move otherwise.] I've read all of them, so it made sense to catch up.

[parodeity]

False. You totally missed out on a few things while I was on the meteor?

[ he just settles the laptop back on his chest. ]

[windeity]

You should tell me about those then. I think I missed out on a lot while you guys were on the meteor.

[parodeity]

You honestly missed a ton of dumb bullshit. [ like karkat trying to schedule? a dating system? ] But yeah, I can try to catch you up. Since my own electronics with anything on 'em are officially dead as a bunch of disappointing doornails.

[windeity]

Tell me about it? [He suddenly perches on the top of the armchair like a shitty overgrown vulture but he's not exactly sitting. He's floating, mostly, and he's facing Dave with a look of sheer excitement.]

Tell me more about the meteor and I can tell you about the ship. We didn't get to catch up a lot when you guys crashlanded that first time. [After John aggressively ironed his pants, before John fucked around with time enough everyone got confused.]

[parodeity]

I mean... [ there were some hilarious hijinks inbetween romance shit and rose and terezi getting super fucking drunk on alcohol and soda respectively. ]

I spent most of my time with my best bro, the Mayor? And some with Vantas towards the end there.

[windeity]

[He asks, and his brain immediately flickers to the fact that those two are dead people now, too. But he pushes the thought away.]

Right. Cantown. Is the Mayor a better bro than the lobster? [Your best bros are quality, Dave.] I kind of miss Karkat. It has been too long since we actually talked.

[parodeity]

The Mayor is a better bro than anyone in any universe ever. [ LET HIM TELL YOU about his questionable love for the mayor like holy shit dave calm the fuck down what were those saving the mayor from lava panels? ]

[windeity]

[Somehow he takes the Mayor as less of a threat than the lobster.] What other stuff did you guys do together besides Cantown?

[parodeity]

[ ...???? john? ] Hopscotch and whatever? Sometimes I just talked and he would listen. Or movie night with Karkat.

[windeity]

Sounds fun. [And it does, actually.] We never played hopscotch or anything on the ship but we had other games and stuff. Otherwise we watched movies, too.

[parodeity]

Probably better movies than we watched. That dude refuses to watch anything but romcoms, pretty much.

[windeity]

Not really. We watched Con Air. And we played MMOs a lot but most of the players weren't that smart.

[parodeity]

...The denizens?

[windeity]

The consorts and chess people. And Davesprite, actually.

[parodeity]

Miss 'em?

[windeity]

No. [Almost an immediate answer.] It was fine and stuff but it wasn't the same. So no, I do not mind being off the ship now.

[parodeity]

Aw, John, it's almost like you care. [ dave sends the laptop into his sylladex and stretches. ]

[windeity]

Man, shut up. [He grins a little though.]

...we should go do something.

[parodeity]

Such as...? This isn't really a happening social scene, Egbert.
