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! ))

[ Helloooo Jane. Once he spots her, Dirk comes ambling on over, pulling a pouch from the shop out of his pocket. ]

Afternoon, Crocker! Sup?

[overbiterestart]

Nothing much. Just diddling around the place today, I did some shopping earlier. You know. Girl stuff.

[fracturedsoul]

Well, that's a coincidence. Because I went shopping, too.

[ He tosses the pouch to her -- one Dreamboat Pendant, one memory charm, two upgrades. ]

If that makes me girly then so be it. [ But he smiles as he says it. ]

[overbiterestart]

[She holds a bag out to him as well, a memory charm. Do you know how many unreal airs that took sir?]

Dirk, you didn't have to do all of this.....really. [But the upgrades were nice!]

You can be my shopping partner.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He takes the bag, looking a bit surprised. Two in one day? Holy shit. ]

I didn't have to, no. And hey, I'd like that. Together we'll be an unstoppable force of nature, blazing a path through the stores of Rakuen--

[ He kind of trails off as he clips the charm onto his bracelet and his memory comes flooding back in full force. Or rather, not flooding. Because Jane lived before that. So did Jake.

Shit, wow. ]

[overbiterestart]

Not that the shopkeepers really like us buying an unreal amount of this crappy skateboards, golly, the lady seemed a little displeased at me asking for them to balance me out to zero.

[She grinned a little. Clipping her memory charm on, SWEET GOODNESS. That is what that is. She just kinda steps forward and puts her arms around Dirk. Sweet, she can hug again.]

[fracturedsoul]

Haha, you're learning well, grasshopper.

[ Oh. Is that what she got back? He's still kind of awkward with hugs, but he'll accept it. And hug back, grinning slightly. ]

Jane. You believed what I told you before, right?

[overbiterestart]

[She is literally just going to stay here awhile. A whole month without hugging is the worst thing ever, oh my gosh she is grateful to have this back.]

Of course I do Dirk. I believe every word. I thought it was outlandish at best, but, I believe you.

[fracturedsoul]

...so all the other stuff Roxy and I have been telling you. About the batterwitch? BettyBother? All those subtle and not so subtle hints that our clocks aren't exactly synced?

[ He's not complaining. This is... gosh, actually the first real hug he's ever had, discounting the various hurt/comfort shit that's gone on since he arrived. ]

[overbiterestart]

[She blanks out at Batterwitch. The word is completely banished from her mind, what even did he say?]

Well, I know our times aren't synced. But, I didn't catch the reason why?

[She is kinda rubbing his back, he deserved this man.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Oh man this cozy cuddling shit is nice. Dirk's like a little kid who's just had candy for the first time. ]

'Cause Roxy and I were born in the 25th century. Not born, exactly, created I guess, through what if I recall correctly you called ridiculous sci-fi babble.

If you're asking how it is we're able to communicate... [ A pause. ] I don't recall. Solve one mystery and another one unfolds.

[overbiterestart]

[Well she's glad to aide in this endeavor.]

You said something else, but I think I blanked out. I believe the 25th century stuff, as much as my mind is screaming that it isn't right at all. I can believe it.

[She pauses.] You and Roxy must be really lonely.

[fracturedsoul]

Nah, Roxy's got people around. They're not human, but they're still pretty good.

[ And he doesn't want to get into the issue of whether or not he's lonely, so. Although he does sort of hug a little more tightly without realizing it. ] What else did I say? [ Think... ] You mean about the corporation you're heiress to being run by an evil fish alien?

[ Wow he... forgot the name of the company. Crockercorp, yeah, but... what's the name it usually goes by? ]

[overbiterestart]

Right, I know that I am the Heiress to Betty Crocker. Crocker Corporation.

[AND THEN SHE BLANKS OUT. What do you mean evil fish alien, she forgot you said that shit.] Huh?

[fracturedsoul]

Heiress to... [ Pause. Blink. ] Crocker Corporation, right.

Wow. Shit.

[overbiterestart]

We are literally saying something to one another that is making us space way out.

[How about a tighter hold from Jane. She just likes hugging you Dirk. So friendly!]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He's okay with that. How does hugs. Jane can be his Hugging Sensei. ]

Looks like we need some more memory charms.

[overbiterestart]

A lot more if we want to know what in Davey Jones' locker we just said to each other!

[Arms all the way around her Dirk. Come on.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Step 1: Keep arms around Jane. Step 2: Squeeze slightly? Step 3: Rest head on shoulder? ]

Looks like I just forgot one of the names of the company. You're missing something way more important.

[overbiterestart]

[Good job Dirk, she is petting your hair.]

What could I be missing, I wonder.

[fracturedsoul]

[ how did he go this long without anyone doing this for him ]

You at all curious about why I live all by my lonesome in the middle of Houston fucking Texas?

[overbiterestart]

I get the feeling you're about to tell me something really bad, but go on. I am quite curious.

[fracturedsoul]

What if I told you Roxy and I were the only human beings alive in a really, really shitty rip-off of Waterworld?

[overbiterestart]

Then I'd ask where the waterslide is?

[fracturedsoul]

I built one once but I wound up having to disassemble it for parts.
