Tenth Beat in Video/Text
[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.]
[Failed Private Lock to Jade Harley, John Egbert, and Rose Lalonde.]

no subject
[At least it was instinct for him to text instead of sign.]
no subject
no subject
i just leave the door unlocked anyways
i guess im not surprised
it seems a lot of people havent
but its like pretty much ear orgasms for everyone
this shit is just that fly
[Dave is so smug about his music. The most smug little brat.]
no subject
no subject
idk
im not a world expert
[Nor is he pretentious enough to claim to be one.]
no subject
no subject
horribly boring
like
i would scoop the insides of my head out
because thats the only thing interesting to do

no subject
[That's a strange phrase...
Now he's curious as to what Shion's world is like.]
no subject
Running through the streets with Nezumi, a crying baby in it's mothers arms. Being rounded up. What had happened to Nezumi? To Safu? Shion had ended up here somehow but Nezumi will have been taken to the correctional facility and...
Shion had the map... in his head. He had it memorised, he was the way in and he was here...
He began shaking, he had been trying not to think of these things since arriving but...]
Boredom... would suggest you didn't see the city as perfect... and so it would not be allowed.
no subject
to be honest
who even says their city is perfect???
thats fucking stupid
if there was actually something as a perfect city
ill eat my turntables
thats how much bullshit is coming out of their ass for even saying it can exist
perfect is stupid anyways
if things were perfect
it would always be boring
nothing would happen but the same thing
[Dave wouldn't be able to grasp it. What counts as a perfect city and what doesn't? If people were different, everyone would think something else is perfect, so it seemed like a stupid idea.]
you okay though???
you didnt have to talk about it if it bothered you
[Shion, you're shaking. That's kind of worrisome...]
no subject
It's fine... I just... I should be there, my friend was in trouble... [He's still shaking, because Safu and Nezumi are probably dead by now and it's all his fault.]
no subject
trying to impose their perfection on other people
that isnt a perfect city
but i guess your books dont really teach you about tyranny
or totalitarian societies
not exactly a walk in the park or leaves good feels all around
reading about that shit
[Dave pauses before flicking Shion's forehead lightly.]
youre assuming time moves back at home compared to here
its pretty much a theory atm until we can get proper proof
if thats even possible here
but time here moves differently from wherever else we come from
at least its likely
people keep getting pulled from different times and places
it would make sense that this place exists on a completely different plan
kind of like a pocket universe
so its pretty likely
nothing is actually moving back at home
compared to here
of course this is all theoretical bullshit
but whatever
i thought you were the optimistic one
no subject
But optimism was always good, he nodded] I hope that it is something like that. That we can go back to where we left.
no subject
art???
anything like that doesnt exist for you does it
shit
[That would kill Dave.]
yeah
for my sake
[Dave really didn't want to consider the chance that he would turn into a Doomed Dave. Shion probably didn't understand what he meant though. It would be too difficult to explain the other about the mechanics of traveling time.]
no subject
Were you in the middle of something important as well. [He had said his world had been destroyed...]
no subject
idk
whenever i try to remember the last things
i kind of blank
so i guess some of the memories i lost
were whatever i had right before arriving here
[He only marginally remembers green. That's it.]
no subject
no subject
i mean i dont mind not remembering it
ill eventually get it back or something
[Too busy buying memory charms for everyone else apparently.]
no subject
[Shion is in a similar position, buying memories for everyone else.]
no subject
i guess
[He still owes Shion one. He will get you one. You got him one already!]
