[parodeity]

yeah i kind of figured
it was catchy

[splinten]

A good Mario reference is always a benefit to a song.
We should stop texting and actually use our mouth words. Your bad midnight habits have to be contagious.

[they are probably like laying beside each other in their camping tent or some stupidity like that]

[parodeity]

i like my bad midnight habits
and youre the one who started this so clearly you felt like using your finger words
which sounds stupid
but you said mouth words which sounded stupider

[splinten]

I wanted to send the song so you'd have it.
It was your decision to respond in text.

[parodeity]

you said nothing when sending the song
indicating to me you wanted me to text you

[splinten]

Or respond to me verbally.

[parodeity]

youve met me right

[splinten]

[ok this is dumb]

Dave.

[parodeity]

Dirk.

[ it can keep being dumb ]

[splinten]

[Dirk will make it dumber. By rolling over in whatever sleeping comfort thing they have and flopping on Dave.]

Thanks for the family road trip.

[parodeity]

[ dave goes "oof" but does not shove dirk off. he's still and quiet and he's probably been weird off and on, but he doesn't pull back. ]

Anytime. [ or...whenever he can manage it. whenever things aren't crazy and neither of them has a million other obligations? ]

[splinten]

You've enjoyed it. Right?

[Dave has been weird and asked a lot of questions and Dirk has worried.]

You don't regret doing it unlooped.

[parodeity]

I don't regret it. [ but there's a weird hesitation before he says it. sometimes when things go well these days, he worries. ]

[splinten]

You hesitated.

[Dirk lifts his head up. Does Dave mean it?]

[parodeity]

It makes me worry about...losin' it, or whatever. Because I liked it.

[ that sounds stupid, but. ]

But I don't [ think i ] regret it.

[splinten]

Ok. [Dirk lowers his head back down.]

You'd be interested in doing it again.

[parodeity]

Yeah. For as long as we can get away with it, yeah.

[ that's easy. ]

[splinten]

If the base blows up or a storm sweeps in, we can take vacations after we keep everyone from being dead.

[He doesn't see any reason family vacations would need to stop.]

[parodeity]

Thank you for wantin' to.

[ do unlooped time with him? ]

[splinten]

Not shit you need to thank me for. Frankly, I'm grateful to maybe an unmeasurable level that you want to spend this much time in my unmediated presence. It's full miracles in here.

[parodeity]

[ ??? ]

I'd pretty much spend every second with you if you wanted?

[ wAIT SHIT like that's true, even if rose could get the same exact response, but jesus dial it down strider ]

Uh. 80%? 70%. [ of his time. now he's going to try to nail down a less stupid percentage kill him before he kills himself ]

[splinten]

[That was sappy but Dirk mostly feels like it can't possibly be true because he's him. Instead, he points out the logical flaws.]

What about Rose? And the Magister. Trousersnake, Wiz, the entire Kharaa dudes. Probably Squarewave now, you love my rapbot to an unexpected degree.

[parodeity]

Well. Some of it would have to be mediated by virtue of other people existing. But I like the world slightly better when you're around. My time is very rarely not yours to take and that's just when I set down plans with other people in stone.

[splinten]

Okay. [Okay. So. He feels that way about him. So.] This is one of those situations where you're describing how I feel about you, but my brain rejects the basic idea of you feeling the same way about me.

[parodeity]

I literally followed you around like a puppy the first few months. [ do you remember wiz being born dirk. do you remember dave just trailing in and kind of making himself at home and hanging around even though he was mostly useless. ]
