[splinten]

[He. Filters out part of that.]

I won't argue that it is some degree of a 'bummer' when we can't do things because of our past histories.

[parodeity]

Anyway I'm done talkin' for the day holy shit yeah so.

[ THUMBS UP. ]

Time to bail and save yourself, dude.

[splinten]

It would feel like we left on unfinished business if I went now.

That, and I don't want to go yet.

[at least Dirk is super losery also]

United Passions. It's about a soccer thing. I've never seen it but it's supposedly terrible.

[parodeity]

Never heard about it, but I have a hard time seein' us like any sports movie beyond Space Jam, so. Y'know. Sure?

[ how does soccer even WORK ]

[splinten]

I assume we'll find it heinously boring at best.

[There's a pause. He is. Still trying to figure it out.]

I still want to eat nachos with you.

[So he just comes up with the dumbest thing in his head right now]

[parodeity]

[ honestly no one should be expected to parse what dave had said and what he means. give it up, dirk. ]

I'll give you a shoppin' list before you go. I don't keep copies of everythin' on the base kitchen here.

[splinten]

Did you get yourself a fridge here? [Or Dirk will need a fridge. One not for swords.] We can do one of the ones that opens like a treasure chest.

[You know. So swords can't fall out on you from it.]

[parodeity]

My to do list currently has dishwasher and laundry shit re household necessities so I've been doing whatevs by hand. I mostly got the kitchen done.

[ it is

way down on the base level because that seemed like as good a place as any for a kitchen shut up ]

I kind of like having one that like, opens normally. But just has...normal stuff inside. That was always nice on base.

[ sometimes he would just like go and open it and look inside? for no reason? just to see food in the fridge.

not like. A LOT. but sometimes. ]

[splinten]

Cool.

[There's a pause. And then. A little... not quite smile?]

It does bear a strong resemblance to moving into an apartment with your brother.

[Like. In a good way? In a way neither of them got to have. It's kinda exciting.

He is aware Dave is now just avoiding the thing he can't explain but he can't work out how to ask it right so. He'll allow the detour for a second while he works on that.]

[parodeity]

What else do you think said apartment needs, then?

[ since all he insisted on was "desk in our room" and "you probably need a workroom but idc where you put it". dave has not indicated plans for anything else aside from, apparently, a laundry area and a dishwasher. ]

[splinten]

We still need to build a darkroom.

[That is still a priority to him.]

[parodeity]

What?

[ gUESS WHO COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT. ]

Uh. Assumin' we could even get our hands on the chemicals, and also that kind of camera, makeshift stuff is easy to do.

[ he actually hasn't specifically made any of the rooms into rooms for his hobbies. his turntables were always just in the bedroom. it's just kind of a Thing. ]

But I meant like what do you think apartments need to be all...domestic-y.

[splinten]

That's harder to come up with.

Neighbours who live across the hall and constantly barge in for the disaster of the week.

[ALL HE KNOWS IS SITCOM SETS. Oh. wait. MONICA!]

What about a laundry hamper?

[THAT'S A THING!]

[parodeity]

[ dave's lips barely twitch down at "neighbors" but hampers has him actually consider. ]

Sure? That is...probably better than the tried and true method of "this pile on the floor is good enough".

[splinten]

[Yeah neighbours aren't an option IT'S JUST WHAT SITCOMS HAVE.]

A closet that we only use for towels and linens.

And a bowl of random objects that are supposed to smell good.

[parodeity]

What the fuck have you been watching.

[ like

just out of curiosity here ]

This can't possibly be Gilmore Girls speakin'.

[splinten]

Monica in Friends.

[beat]

She seemed like the most put-together Friend in terms of domestic arrangements.

[parodeity]

Ok, well, Rose might be able to help you with potpourri? It's just like dried flowers and shit, isn't it.

[ don't admit to knowing that? ]

But we don't have linens. Or that many towels?

[splinten]

I don't know.

[He didn't know it was called potpurri.]

We could get linen and towels. Apparently, you're supposed to change your bed sheets twice a month.

[tv taught him that too]

[parodeity]

I usually just change them when I do laundry. I used to do yours sometimes too.

[ though he never

made the fucking beds??????????

dave will never make his bed that's just not gonna happen ]

[splinten]

I appreciated it. [It was nice?] If we had different sets it would fill in a linen closet.

[IS THE POINT. That they're LARPing normal people, or something.

Badly.]

[parodeity]

If you want to get more than four sets total made I have no real objections??

[ the idea of a linen closet is weird but. ok. sure. they can have one??? and potpourri dave guesses. he's pretty sure he could manage to make some with rose's advice. ]

Honestly I am not really sure what normal people do with free space.

[splinten]

It isn't something that I've had a preponderance of experience with either.

[Hm.]

We need a good set up for a couch and a tv together. Something equivalent at least.

Can we have bean bag chairs?

[parodeity]

Only if they're big enough it's hard to stand up from them after sittin' down.

[ THIS IS A MUST. ]

[splinten]

Any other size would be a disgrace to our household.

[he is not a barbarian]
