Right, which I will be doin'. [ JUST. LOOPED TIME. ] I'll use you as base camp though so don't worry so much.

[ what does that even Mean ]

[splinten]

What does that even mean.

[Like. ??]

[parodeity]

I'll work it so all my loops start and end with me at your side?

[ rather than like. having to go around to a zillion places and times to close his own fucking timeloops. which he does have to do sometimes? and which can obscure how many loops he does. ]

[splinten]

[God. He puts his face in his hand.] I do not understand the way you decide to go about things sometimes. Just be careful.

[parodeity]

I thought you'd like that way better than me just, uh, doin' whatever all over the place. Should I...not use you as base camp? I thought you'd worry less if you could count 'em.

[ he was, apparently, trying to Help ]

[splinten]

You are right that I will worry less if you use me as base camp. You have just failed to adequately explain why multiple time loops are in any way required.

[LIKE SERIOUSLY? It's so vague.]

[parodeity]

Oh. I'll...tell you someday.

[ if he ever gets caught out, he means. ]

It's important to chart their life cycles. I'm bein' scientific as shit.

[splinten]

[HM. Dirk does not seem entirely convinced but.] How many hours do you expect to rack up in total?

[parodeity]

I'm not sure, I haven't said.

[ to himself, he means. ]

And I'm not sure like, how long their life cycles are. Shouldn't be THAT long, they're bugs.

[splinten]

I'd like to know so I can get you extra food.

[Because he views this as his Job even for looped Daves!]

[parodeity]

I'll let you know how long each loop lasts as I end 'em?

[ not an offer he usually makes. ]

[splinten]

Okay. I can work with that.

[It's a lot easier than trying to keep track with his soul senses and calculate it all on the fly.]

[parodeity]

[ which is probably hardish given dave's soul is full of time bullshit..."older" is vague but the specifics are always shifting, probably. especially when he starts messing with the time on specific wounds he gets or something. ]

In the meantime...bugs. Should we like roll up our sleeves to expose pasty white skin fresh for the bitin'? I know exactly nothin' about live bugs.

[splinten]

You don't seriously expect me to know more. [There were probably fewer bugs in the ocean than in land Houston? He may never have seen a real spider in his life.]

[parodeity]

You know weird shit, why can't I expect that? [ maybe dirk watched a documentary on Bugs because he's ridiculous??? ] But in that case I guess let's just, like. Head thataway. Lake-ward bound.
