Characters: Dave Strider, Oichi, Marisa Kirisame, John Egbert, Shion, Vriska Serket, Aisha Clanclan, Sora Himoto, Yuki Yagizawa, any of Dave's Weapons not being transferred
Format: Any/Either
This log is: Closed
Location: Fortitude Gates
Summary: In two days, Dave has literally gotten bad to worst. Now he's transferring friends and people he's acquainted himself to in an attempt to avoid them.
Warnings: Probably more sad shit will happen. ALL THE WARNINGS.

Thursday had just been an entire whirlwind. He scarcely even remembered what happened. He fought Suzaku and somehow won. Then he got in a fist fight with Vriska and triumphantly got his ass handed to him. Oh...well that explains why he feels and looks like shit.

Dave decided that he could work something to his advantage. If the winning condition could be easily met with six Weapons, he could transfer them to other Fortitude Players right? After he got himself slightly cleaned up (slightly being a keyword here), Dave had contacted Marisa and Oichi about a transfer and to meet at the Gates of Fortitude. He'd be giving up some close people and Vriska (he just doesn't want to see her anymore) to them. They wouldn't be able to touch him without the penalty, and he was fine with this. He could go on his merry way and indulge in not talking for the rest of the Round. Sure, shit may hit the fan when the round ended, but it gave him time to sort. Of course, he did warn the two Players that they better take care of the Weapons he was transferring and give them their rights.

Once he had contacted the two Players, he contacted all the Weapons getting transferred to meet him at the Gates in front of Fortitude. He explained that they would be transferred and the reasoning why, and where to meet for it. He said there really was no choice in the matter, as this would only really last through Friday anyways and it was just to help other Players of his school out. Also, he was making this mandatory for them to meet, because trying to round everyone up otherwise is a pain in the ass.

Dave is already there when they get to the Gates. He's got his shades on despite it being dark. Maybe you can't make out how pale he's gotten. Or that he's got ugly blue or black bruises forming. But you can probably see the bandages around his neck and he hadn't changed uniforms, so it was still dirty (although he also did fight a battle that day so).

[OOC: There are three threads set up where you can try talking to Dave, for Weapons to meet Marisa and for Weapons to meet Oichi. You can make separate threads if you want to mix and mingle though!]

[Britannia is walking by the gate, forever wandering when she isn't teaching to get a feel for the city when she sees Dave and makes her way over to say hi. At least, that was the original intention before she saw how dirty he was.]

What happened to you?

[Oh. He's surprised to see her. He shuffled from food to food.]

intense fighting
it was like fighting a bear
except it wasnt actually one
and i lost
humiliating beatdown written all over my ass

Hmm... is that so? [A pause as she inspects him, before chuckling softly.] You look terrible.

[He nods at her. He'll give her that. He did look like utter shit.]

guess completely fucked up
isnt a good look for me
ill get better in a bit though

It's not a good look for anyone. So who did this? Are they strong?

i
dont really want to talk about it
but yeah
shes
strong
i mean it takes a bit to get me to look this shitty
so yeah

[He kind of shifts awkwardly. He doesn't really want to talk about it since it's such an awkward and painful subject at the moment. And trolls were pretty tough as is.]

There's nothing wrong with being defeated, you know. As long as you don't let it happen again, anyway. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" and all that.

[Hi, welcome to the "DARWIN FOREVER" sermon.]

i know
i
i kind of provoked it knowing id lose
gonna be one hundred percent honest
went out of my way to get my ass handed back to me on a silver platter

[Worst part was, it didn't really help.]

Why did you do that? [Purposely hurting yourself... well it's not like she doesn't understand that. Sometimes, to increase your limits, you have to know what they are first.]

because i got piss angry
and i thought it would help somehow
well it definitely didnt
so really i just made myself feel shittier but ill survive

[He just thought that it'll help him forget the emotional stress. Physical pain was easier to handle.]

[At his explanation, Britannia gives him a laugh and a pat on the shoulder. A gentle one, mind.]

Maybe you should have asked her to knock you out.

[He shrugged at that.]

probably should have
but then shed probably leave me there
and i rather not wake up suddenly somewhere else
or still lying on the floor outside
the weather is still shitfucking cold

It kind of is, isn't it? Do you think it'll warm up soon?

it better
it cant be cold forever

[Dear god. He hopes so. This is not something he wants to get used to.]
