Too Many Striders: Black 2-A shenanigans redux

[fracturedsoul]

Characters: Dirk, closed to Black 2-A roommates (Dave, David, Daenerys) and anyone else with a reason to be there (mainly Jade and Jake, feel free to tag in if there's some reason your character would drop in though)
Format: Whatever
This log is: open to roommates
Location: Black 2-A

It's 10AM on Sunday morning, before the assembly, and if you've forgotten that Dirk Strider is a person who exists, then nobody could blame you, because he's been in the shower for the past two and a half hours.

Once Black dorm is completely out of hot water, he comes moseying back into 2-A, dressed in his Fortitude uniform with a towel wrapped around his hair. Feel free to complain, or, alternatively, to notice the shield symbol that is most definitely on the back of one hand even though the Players for the round haven't even been announced.

Of course he's here. He stayed the night, after all. Dirk offered and he wasn't really looking forward to spending a night with a bunch of people he didn't know. So he was given the bed of someone who wasn't in right then, hopefully they wouldn't mind. He slept pretty good considering how eventful the previous day had been.

He was just a little startled by waking up to find he wasn't dreaming. Not dreaming and that there were still people around him. That was going to take a lot of getting used to.

Oh. Huh. Where was Dirk? Ah, he was probably taking one of his infamous infinite showers. Silly fellow. That was fine, he would wait til he got back to see what the itinerary for the day would be.

"Good day. If I may ask, are you Jake Egbert?"

It was hard to be sure, but this child looked like Sir Jake. He was far too young, though, and with two other Striders in this room, one of whom was apparently a different version of David himself, he might be from someplace very different.

[goodboybestshot]

Jake paused and looked up at who addressed him. He blinked because- OH it was that other version of Dirk's brother that came in today. He didn't get a chance to talk to him the night before due to shenanigans.

He was about to greet the gentleman when he let what he asked sink in. Egbert?

"No, sorry, my friend. My name's Jake English."

[theillbeatknight]

"My apologies. You look and sound quite like someone I have seen around in Prospit's city."

Maybe, though...

"Are you from the same enclave as this other David?"

He gestures at the Dave who is still sleeping.

[goodboybestshot]

Jake glances over as he gestures and then back at this other, older Dave. Hm, that was a bit tricky to answer but he'd do his best. He rubs the back of his neck.

"I suppose that's close enough for me to agree. We are, but we aren't. Its dag nab temporal shenanigans is what it is. However, I think what I can say is that Strider's enclave and my enclave are very closely linked, but still separate. Did that make a lick of sense?"

Because he really wasn't sure if it did.

switching tag style for this sorry

[theillbeatknight]

"Not at all, I'm afraid. I don't grasp the significance of temper.."

[is he losing some of his composure

blame the translator for this]

"...temperature mannequins. But, I doubt that this will last. Maybe on another day."

no worries! I'm better at action anyway

[goodboybestshot]

Temporal shenanigans! But that's all right. I don't really have a good way to explain it, but we sort of know each other, and we're from a similar land.

[Just sort of smiles up at him like this is totally no big deal.]

[knightime]

Dave had gotten dressed at this point. Ugh. Mornings sucked. He needs to go back to sleep.

Sorry Jake. Hopefully you don't mind company because that sure as hell Dave crawling into your bed to catch a few more minutes of sleep. He just doesn't want to be awake. And his bed isn't as warm as yours is, considering there is a mass of body heat and he wants it.

Don't worry. He's just going to curl up for a few minutes. No harm, right?

Agh sorry for late tag

[goodboybestshot]

Oh, whoa, okay what was that. That ...was Dirks alternate paradox brother climbing into bed with him um. Jake moves and is about to get up and relocate when he notices Dave has just.

Curled up and gone right back to sleep.

Ah. Jake snickers and resists the urge to pat him on the head. Dirk your brother is kind of adorable.

Sokkkkk 0u0

[knightime]

Except you aren't allowed to get away god damn it. You are a source of heat and he's just going to snuggle up against you. Holy fuck it was cold and now it wasn't. Best day ever.

Dave is not a cuddler. Even if he's kind of totally cuddling up to Jake. It's not his fault he really fucking hates this cold weather.

[goodboybestshot]

Oh well. Uh. That was a little strange. And uncomfortable. But of course Jake doesn't quite have it in him to move or push him away. Wow! He must be really tired and ...cold he guesses?

Oh dear.

"Um...Strider."

[knightime]

There is no response other than shifting. But he seems determined not to get back up or let up.

Sorry Jake. Except he isn't. Too busy sleeping.
