Meet and Greet [Intro #2]

[utopiamods]

You are brought to your campus and shown to your dorm rooms before you are given permission to wander the campus and the town. Meaning Fortitude students can mingle with Conquest students, they can go visit the shop (shop post will be up later today), or speak to the headmistresses and mayor. Each student now has the Exaclan manuals, a uniform, a school bag with either a shield or a sword on it, and the glove used to pull weapons.

But make sure to come to the battle area later to see the exhibition match! 

Take advantage of the free day, the freedom won't last long. Sooner rather than the later the round will start, Players will be named, Weapons will lose their privileges, and the battles will begin. So you might as well go out and make friend or start rivalries, anything to help you along later in the round.

[Teddy might have noticed the blond absorbed in his new PDA. He's dressed kind of oddly. A hoodie with a cape, although his clothes kind of look more like pajamas honestly.

He seems engrossed in figuring out all the functions possible on his PDA. This, of course, would be solved quickly. He was good at tinkering a bit. Or at least lucky with it.]

[hugling]

[Teddy slips his own new PDA into his pocket and peers over at what Dave is doing.]

Man, these things were cutting edge in 2007, huh.

[knightime]

[He stops and glances at the other for a minute before rapidly typing onto his PDA and showing the screen to the other.

He was a fast typer thankfully. But, it was that or never get a conversation going and he was always on the computer.]

could be worst
at least they work and shit
and we dont have to rely on the mighty fucking pencil and its wavey friend paper
that would be the biggest fucking headache

[hugling]

Yeah, um. Sorry, can you hear okay? Would you prefer if I just text you? [Teddy pulls his PDA out of his pocket and gestures to it.] Or, uh. Do you do sign language? I totally know the alphabet.

[knightime]

[Dave nods at the first question. Pretty sure his hearing is perfectly good. Probably even better then average. Something about your other senses getting better when one doesn't work? Naw, he didn't pay attention to that shit apparently.

He pockets the PDA though and starts doing a few signs. He's going at a moderate pace, not sure if the other was fast or slow with it.] 'I can do either so whatever you're comfortable with.' [He pauses for a moment. When did he learn sign language...? Why doesn't he actually remember who taught it to him?] 'Texting is usually more convenient I guess, but I can do both proficiently.'

[hugling]

Woah, hold on, When I said I know the alphabet I meant I only know the alphabet. I think texting is probably our best bet here. But, uh. I'm Teddy, for the record. [he sloooowly fingerspells out N-E-D-D-Y, because he's forgotten the difference between T and N.]

If the red font bothers you, just tell me!

[knightime]

He snorts, which doesn't sound like anything whoops, and pulls his PDA back out.

okay
text it is
dave btw
also you might want to reintroduce your name to me
unless your name really is neddy
no offense but neddy is not a flattering name srsly

nope! it's cool, I read homestuck c:

[hugling]

Oh man, no, it's really Teddy. I guess I'm pretty rusty. It's nice to meet you though, Dave.

[he grins, suddenly.] Hey, you know, this guy I know would really like your cape.

Alrighty! :D

[knightime]

i guess i could help you
if you really care about that shit
i mean its not like most people need to know it anyways

sorry man
but these threads are mine to keep
not often you get to frolic in god tier pajamas

[He does a little spin before making some runway model pose. Easy to say this looked incredibly ridiculous, but he still does it without even changing his expression.]

[hugling]

I'd totally learn. Plus we could totally talk in movies. Or class.

[he can't hold in a really undignified snort.]

No, I just mean he'd think it was cool. He has red cape too, so you guys could like, cape bond, or whatever.

[knightime]

[He scratches the back of his head.]

yea sure
i can teach you the alphabet and shit
i dont really sign that much though
i just know it because to hell if i would forget something as important as that

cape bond???
sounds like some superhero business suddenly

[hugling]

Haha, I wish we were superheroes. But no, he's just really alarmingly obsessed with capes. At least if we were heroes he'd have a legitimate reason to wear it in public.

[Teddy there is no reason to keep a secret identity here what are you doing.]

[knightime]

[You can't see the eyebrow raise, but it's there. Just hiding behind hair or sunglasses.]

...
right
just tell people youre doing it for irony or some shit
why should people stop you guys from doing what you want???
sounds fucking stupid to me

[hugling]

I don't know, dude. He's a pretty genuine guy, I don't think he'd go for that. To be honest it's kind of weirdly endearing. The cape thing, I mean.

[whoops TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!]

Anyway. Where are you from?

[knightime]

[He was already typing something out but the other changed the subject. He spends a little longer, having to delete the message he was about to send to type a new one.]

down south in fucking texas
assuming that you have a texas where youre from
i can never be so sure with this anymore considering everyone seems to come from fucking everywhere
if not
just think
tall ass buildings
hot as hell
dry as fuck
etc

[hugling]

Nah, my Earth definitely has a Texas, not that I've been there. I'm from New York, lived there all my life.

[Teddy grins a big proud New Yorker grin.]

[knightime]

small fucking world
i have a friend from new york
or some fucking area there or something
it wasnt really something i gave a fuck about other then she lived really fucking far from me
you seem pretty fucking happy to be from there
wish i could say the fucking same

[He isn't very bitter about it honestly. But hey, he can bitch about a place when he isn't there right?]

[hugling]

Well, New York is pretty cool. But it must suck to have a really long distance friend. I bet you don't see her a lot, huh?

[knightime]

weve never met in person
we just talk a lot online
it doesnt bother me that much though
im pretty fucking chill with just talking
...
texting

[He shrugs a bit.]

[hugling]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I've never really had any super close online friends, just a couple people I met on like, forums and stuff.

[Teddy also shrugs.]

[knightime]

i wasnt really a make friends at school type of person
gonna have to say that conversation was very shortlived

[Although part of it was him not really wanting to speak to others.]

[hugling]

[shrugs.]

I mean, I didn't meet my... group of friends at school. Not that I didn't have friends there, but it wasn't... you know. [he shrugs again. He doesn't really want to get into the whole Greg thing.]

[knightime]

kids at school can be assholes anyways
im fine with internet friends and shit
you know???

[He's not going to push. He isn't curious enough to get it out of Teddy.]

[hugling]

Yeah, totally. School pretty much sucks, so.

[yet more shrugging.]

[knightime]

hopefully a school centered around fighting
might be worthwhile
but thats pretty much
wishful thinking
im pretty sure
