Tenth Beat in Video/Text

[knightime]

[The first thing you notice is that the video feed is shaking slightly. It's mostly pointed up towards the ceiling, but you can see Dave's back as he seems to be hunched over something at his desk. There's a crap ton of wire taped over the ceiling of his bed and area, photos being hung with clothespins fro them. Generally speaking, it seems that Dave has settled into his dorm, and it's starting to get a little messy. Hopefully no one in his dorm minds that his shelves are covered with, what looks to be, some dead animals preserved strangely. There's a few bugs encased in tree sap and he even has a jar with...well you aren't sure what it is from the video feed.

The next thing you know is that there's some music playing. It isn't anything that the locals are playing at the little post dungeon party, but something you'd hear at a club. Dave is swaying back and forth to the music, his foot tapping to the beat and his head bobbing slightly. He finally pulls the headphones off his ears, so they can rest around his neck. Dave gets up from his seat and makes his way over, turning off the feed. A minute or two later though, there's some text.]

that
my friends
is how music should be done

[If you live in the Black dorms, you might notice your walls are shaking and constantly hearing his music. Well, sucks to be you. It doesn't seem like he's stopping anytime soon.]

[ John is laying on the ground next to the speakers. Everything is vibrating. His skin is vibrating. It's really cool.

Also Dave has this look on his face, John can't really describe it, but it makes him smile.

It's a good day.

He's also totally missed the, y'know, text on his PDA. ]

[wakingsavior]

[ He finally feels it during a lull in the music and pulls it out, and then twists a little to grin up at Dave. ]

<<'What's up?'>>

[knightime]

i will fucking disown you
if you laugh

its not even funny

[wakingsavior]

no, honestly, i promise i'm not gonna laugh.
i'm just reassuring you.
i mean, under normal circumstances it might be kinda funny?
but mostly not in this case.
because these aren't normal circumstances, and i want you to be able to swim because you're my best friend and i like you to not die.

[knightime]

it seems weve found a mutual agreement that dave not dying
is cooler than dave dying
but seriously
i doubt youll even get me in the water today

[wakingsavior]

that's ok.

kind of like when i started speech therapy?
i had to just make noise to start with before we could work on, y'know, other things.
it was really weird at the time.

[knightime]

[Strider pride man. He can't help but feel like this is kind of stupid and embarrassing. He should be better than this.]
