[video!] Nice to meet you!

[overbiterestart]

Hello folks of Rakuen, if you don't know me by now my name is Jane Crocker. I think I have been doing a pretty swell job of avoiding a network post until now. The thing is here is that I made some cake and I think all of Rakuen should have some sort of treat for all of their hard work in classes and battle alike.

[She's made shit loads of things for just Fortitude, so why not all of Rakuen?]

It's being held at the Bakery in town if anyone wants some of it. [She used a whole three boxes of cake mix to make this and she's plum proud of it!]

I'll also be a round town if you want to go for a walk or something! So, see you guys later and enjoy the cake!

[The feed cuts; however, a private feed to Dirk still remains.]

Dirk, will you meet me in town please? Asap, if you don't mind.

Damn right you should.

[ Brobot doesn't so much as glance over at them, which is confirmation enough for Dirk that nothing has changed here. ]

Didn't I tell you I'm the one running this show? I'm fine, Jane.

[overbiterestart]

[She turns from the room, she's worried about Jake. She's worried about Dirk. She spends most of her days worrying about the entirety of Rakuen that she's made friends with.]

You told me a lot of things you know. I don't remember you telling me you were fine.

[fracturedsoul]

... [ He shakes his head, chuckling slightly. ] Okay, then. I'm telling you now, I'm fine.

[overbiterestart]

What if back home, you aren't? What if you're in some sort of crazy trouble?

[SHE WILL FIND OUT.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He doesn't so much as flinch at that. He's already worried about being dead back home thanks to his corpse-ordering shenanigans, but he's not going to let that show. ]

Then I'll take care of that when I get back. There's no use in fussing over it here. You'll just get wrinkles.

[overbiterestart]

I probably already have grey hairs from this blasted place!

[She might have said that a little loudly. Whoops. Brobot is sorta just looking at them.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk glances over and waves dismissively. Brobot returns to his vigilant watch over Jake.

It's actually kind of creepy.

Dirk turns to head down the hall. ]

You're such a worrywart. What do I keep telling you, Jane? You got to be more like Jake.

[overbiterestart]

[Jesus this was not her day obviously.

Ergh, they can walk down the hall now yes.]

But Jake and I are so different....

[fracturedsoul]

That's the point.

[overbiterestart]

I don't get what you're getting at here Dirk, explain. We're different, yet we need to be alike?

[fracturedsoul]

Yes.

I'm not saying you need to be the same person. But you need to loosen up a bit, and he needs to be more cautious. You're like two extremes when what you need to be is closer to the middle, both of you.

[overbiterestart]

I don't need to loosen up Dirk! It has kept me out of trouble ever since I've been uptight about every single little thing. I think I can be completely okay just the way I am, don't you?

[Jane is just afraid....okay?]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He shoots her a sideways glance, mouth quirked to one side.

Well, she'll come around. He just needs to work at her a little more. ]

We'll see.

[overbiterestart]

[She grinned a little, Dirk never smiles like that. Even just a small mouth quirk.]

Why are you even smiling? I bet you have some plan concocted in that brain of yours already,

[fracturedsoul]

[ He's actually just glad to see that Jane actually has lightened up a bit and opened her mind a little since the last time he saw her back home. So he just shrugs. ]

Do I ever not?

[overbiterestart]

Not like that, certainly not in such a frivolous manner as this. What are you scheming Dirk?
