Characters: Dirk Strider, open to anyone
Format: Whatever you prefer
This log is: open
Location: Around Rakuen
Warnings: Strider language

After shenanigans at Recette's shop, Dirk has some deliveries to make -- memory charms for Dave and Sis, and memory charms plus upgrades and those Prospit dreaming pendants for Jake and Jane.

Aw man, and movie night is tonight also... He's gonna be busy today.

Throughout the day, he can be found around Fortitude and Rakuen, and lurking about outside the borders of Conquest.


((OOC: A separate, mingling-type log will go up later in the week for the movie night thing. Keep an eye out! ))

Ein, who has no idea where just about anything is, has taken to exploring the city for today.

It would only have been a matter of time for the two to meet had Dirk not been busy taking things places. Of course, they somehow happened to meet anyway.

"Hi."

[fracturedsoul]

Dirk was just headed back to Fortitude from Rakette when he came across Ein. A face he hadn't seen before -- he must be one of the newbies from today's train.

He waved in return greeting. "Hey. You new?"

[ecthelion]

"Yeah, that's right. I'm Ein."

[fracturedsoul]

"Dirk. Nice to meet you."

Dirk had been a bit awkward meeting new people when he'd first arrived in the city, though he'd hidden it behind his usual blank mask; by now, the awkwardness had faded and his blank face didn't have to conceal anything. If there were any perks to being abducted into a ridiculous battle city, that was one.

"Which school did you get assigned?"

[ecthelion]

"I'm in Conquest."

Ein's eyes wander to Dirk's gloveless hands.

"Huh? You're not wearing gloves!"

[fracturedsoul]

Dirk blinks and looks down at his hands. "Holy shit, I'm not! I didn't realize!"

And yet his face remains blank. What a weird observation.

[ecthelion]

"But they're important!"

This is a matter far more crucial than Dirk thinks!

Or maybe someone just wanted Ein to be wearing his gloves all the time.

[fracturedsoul]

"I'm sure you're right, but the reason why seems to have slipped my mind. Care to refresh my memory?"

Something weird about the culture Ein comes from, Dirk assumes. He'll play along for now.

[ecthelion]

"I can't remember... but I know it's important!"

[fracturedsoul]

"Ah." So it's one of those. "So does this strike you as lewd or something?"

[ecthelion]

"No, just... wrong."

[fracturedsoul]

Aw, too bad. He really could have messed with this guy otherwise. "Rule one you're gonna figure out about this city? People get here from all sorts of different universes. You gotta learn some cultural sensitivity." Like Dirk gives any fucks about cultural sensitivity. "You can't just ask people why they're not wearing gloves."

[ecthelion]

"Okay."

He could feel the beginnings of a headache. It was far from the worst pain he had ever experienced, though.

[fracturedsoul]

"Good. You'll do fine here."

[ecthelion]

"Huh, that's just what Cirno said."

It made sense. He was expected to fight, and he was good at that.

[fracturedsoul]

"Need any help learning your way around?" Sure, Dirk has stuff to do, but helping out shouldn't take too long.

[ecthelion]

"That'd be great!"

[fracturedsoul]

"Okay. You know how to get to Conquest? Because I'm headed back to Fortitude right now, but I can show you the way if you need."

[ecthelion]

"Well, yeah, it's that way," he said, indicating the direction.
