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! ))

He keeps walking, but at least he isn't running.

If Dave were honest, he never got over it. He doesn't think he will. For all his nonchalant attitude, this type of stuff just stuck onto him. Hopefully Dirk just never figures out why this were such a deal.

He was the Knight of Time. How do you just live with the fact that every timeline you've tried to have her survive ended up doomed or just ended up with even more people dying? Why should he feel guilty? He does anyways. Despite being in control of the time, you couldn't make the alpha timeline void of anything bad. And maybe that's what made it worst. Despite being the time player, he had to be prepared that sacrifices had to be made. Sacrifices he didn't want to make. All the guardians dying. In the end, that was a choice he had to agree with. A choice that had to exist in the alpha timeline because it couldn't continue without their sacrifice.

naw im good
nothing to talk about
you saw it
or did

Dirk just let Dave go. He wouldn't push himself on him.

He turned to walk the opposite direction. His world's versions of Dave and all of his friends were dead, so when he thought about it, it made sense that Dave's world's versions of Dirk and his friends were, too. Not that he was just going to just up and ask Jade or anyone else about their guardians.

Yeah. Don't recall it all that clearly now that the charm is off. I just know in a textbook sort of way what happened, without any real emotional connection to it.

Dave was probably just going to sulk on the roof again. Maybe try to contact Sis. He didn't really want to talk about it though. Not even with her. Just...how do you tell someone that she was supposed to die? You don't.

its nothing
people die all the time
no reason to get all upset over it or whatever

[fracturedsoul]

Hah. Now that was irony. Dirk knew full well that humans were fragile creatures, easy to kill; so few of them were left in his time. Yet when it was someone he knew and cared about...

Precisely. That's a nice, logical way to think about it.

And yet he remembered that when he'd had that memory, Dave hadn't really been all that okay with it. He'd actually been pretty distraught.

And hey, it's yet another uncanny similarity between our timelines.

[knightime]

i dont think we really want to dive into the similarities of our timelines
its bound to happen since your timeline is a direct result of the scratch
its supposed to be filled with similarities since its supposed to be the same people playing a shitty game together

[And he already knew that his friends and himself weren't the ones playing this time.

He also knew of the time discrepancies.]

[fracturedsoul]

Fucking Scratch. Dirk's still trying to wrap his head around the mechanics of it.

Yeah.

And that's really all there is to say about that.
