DAVE STRIDER

consider this your warning about stairs. itll just keep happening bro. im telling you man

VOICE | TEXT | VIDEO | ACTION

[And because he's John, he pulls just a little to let his lip bleed for Dave.] Are you going to stop kissing me when that happens?

[ ...nice. he's just going to get distracted by licking that up, thanks. ]

Mm...probably not. Then I won't have anything else to distract me from giving you my full attention.

...if you help me with this rocks, I will totally bribe you too. [That's probably not how that works.]

Eager? [ they're going to do this slowly apparently. good thing the wolf ditched them. ]

It's an effect you have on me. Is that a problem?

Of course not. I think we're nearing the end of the tune?

I think you're right. [Floating off, he approaches the rocks and peers through the cracks.] I think I see a box? Pull the one on your left that's kind of shaped like the state of Florida.

You're lucky it actually looks Florida-ish. [ dave pulls the appropriate rock. ]

Why would I say it's Florida-ish if it wasn't Florida-ish? [He doesn't get a chance to argue though because Dave pulls on an ending piano note and the whole crypt begins to shake and reveal a box. It's...a music box of some kind and John stares at it for a moment.]

All of that for this?

Well, don't get all downtrodden yet. Let's open it up.

[ WHICH DAVE IMMEDIATELY DOES, SCREW DANGER ]

[THANKS DAVE, the box absolutely explodes in his hands.

It doesn't hurt, really, because vampire but it does explode and the song they've created begins to play completely out of tune. In the space the music box once sat, a gapping maw of a crypt waits and John looks down in it.]

There's a tube? [He's going to try and grab it as the mouth of the crypt begins to close around his hand.]

[ OOPS!

dave doesn't try to pull him back since john's the one who can turn into wind. ]

Sylladex it and haul back.

[ advice from the time traveller. ]

[The tube immediately disappears into his sylladex and his hand turns into a shadowlimb as the crypt closes around the last of the wisps. It takes him a moment to float back over to Dave, shadows draping over his shoulders and curling into him. Love him, damnit.]

I am not putting the rocks back.

What's the tube? [ but okay. john gets an affectionate hand to his cheek, dave turning just enough and angling john's chin just enough that dave can kiss him. good work, slim shady. ]

[A good Dave. John leans into his hand (and the kiss) but he retrieves the tube again. It's an orange vial and there's a note attached to it indicating it's golem DNA.]

And the wolf wanted us to retrieve this...why?

Maybe we can use it to get rid of golems.

Oh. Do we want to do that? [He's genuinely not sure here.]

Less competition. [ so yes ]

I guess I'll hang onto it then. [Into the sylladex it goes and his shadow-y self curls around Dave again.] Wanna go home? I can think of a way better use of our time.

Oh? [ he's kind of hungry so. dave is Interested. ]

You're more likely to get me out of my shirt there than you are here. [So yes. Egbert buffet, apparently.]

You ate today? [ you know so dave can eat without excessive care. god. ]

Three whole meals. [Did he prepare himself specifically for date-night bite-night? Yeah, duh.] And there's dessert at the house.

Is the dessert you. [ is that where this is going. ]

[Just. This face? There's also real dessert of the brownie kind at home but let him being a dumbass teenager.]
