sup ladies and gents and anybody in between
im gonna extend a generous hand here in saying in my everloving wisdom and say
what the actual fuck
pardon my oh so keen sense of language but these things just seem to keep happening dont they
its just another case of i warned you bout the holy city of asgard bro i told you dog
and yknow how badly id like to take this flawless looking letter seriously but
"the laughter and tears of all travellers"
ok so i want whoevers reading this shit to take a step back and picture me this
"the laughter and tears of dave strider"
irony hasnt got a hold down on me this time if i really want to poke my brains out
sounds like the title of one of a boy named egberts horribly bad movies
jesus a perfect scenario for one of those all is fine moments but then bam next thing you got a zombie apocalypse on your hands
i just want to know this isnt leading up to another apocalypse period ok
imma kindly ask you that there be no more surprises

[ Dave stops typing, his mouth twitches just slightly as he realizes that that last line would most likely not come true. He decides to switch to video then. So catch a boy, about 13, sitting in a dimly light room, his head looks blonde, he's got dark shades. There's no way you can see his eyes. He sighs a bit, then gets talking. His voice comes out smoothly, and if you listen hard enough and think about it long enough, you'll feel a rhythm. ]

I guess if I have to preserve this world, if I got to; then travellers with double 'l's, they better prepare -- and that's you guys watching. Y'know things like rapping, music, feeling the beats? Damn sure hope that counts towards all this attempt at restoration. This world will grow strong if people start feeling the liberal arts. Like feeling, feeeeling. One more time, get it; that kind of thing.

Oh, and if you don't know who I am, the name's Dave... Strider. Like I said, the laughter and tears. I just want to assure you that wisdom is my forte and I was a god in my past life. And If you can't prove me wrong... you can't prove me at all.

[ He winks, but you can't tell. No smile to give you the slightest hint. And the feed cuts off. ]

[ So young...

and yet. ]

A god? You remember?

[ Not exactly caught in the act, but close to it. ]

Gee-effing-wiz, did I say that; apparently I like saying shit that gets me places. I was almost a god, I guess, in a way -- but not in my past life, not really.

But if I think about it long enough which I don't really give two shits about doing, I could prooobably un-debunk this statement. Which seems lame. Which makes everything lame. Just so you know.

[ Goddamn, boy's confusing. ]

wait

dave is that really you??

[ someone that she knows from the game? IS THIS REAL LIFE. ]

[young man what are you even saying.]

Feeling the... beats?

permavid.

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[ he's an insane cool kid, that's for sure. ]

Yeah, get it? It's like when you remix your own music front and center, or just listen to it from the sides, you can feel every beat that pulses through you, like if you were gonna put your hand on the machine. They come to you through the weightless freaking air or surge through your metallic non-existent heart, and it's weird and kind of stupid, but it's true; believe me.

Yeah, what the fuck is he even saying. I get you. Moving on.

I...don't really get any of what you just said.

[There's an embarrassed quality to his honesty]

[ Dave takes this into consideration, if by consideration, meaning he acts like the sarcastic wit he is then yes. ]

Me neither. It's like a fucking alien is speaking its weirdo language you know?

[ But to be fair... ]

Hey, sometimes I'm confusing. I assume everyone around these parts have ventured through lands and time like I have and frankly, I'm used to people who understand fast-talk like this. Don't worry about it, though. Doesn't bother me. I'll just slow it down for y'all.

[ well that was... long. and souji really isn't sure what to make of most of it. ]

Are you a rapper?

[ Well obviously he ignored the basis of it. Well most people seem to. Can't blame this one guy. But you can play with him. ]

The unofficial MC Strider, at your service. (Only don't take that literally, I'm not a butler.)

Oye. [He is still learning how to deal with this annoying contraption. These sorts of things do not sit well with him because well--he's certainly not seen technology like that in his own time which was the good ol' 15th century. Looking mildly annoyed beneath the facade of the mask he replies eventually--once he sorts out this whole speaking to the man in the box option.]

Dave Strider--how'd you make your writing all fancy like that?

video.

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[ A guy with a mask. Neat. ]

Meh, dunno.

[ He says it, but he quickly regrets just stopping there. So he adds-- ]

Actually, it's HTML. If you don't know what that is, no big deal. You can google it.

Have you taken leave of your senses?

[ just wondering. ]

voice;

[chillin.livejournal.com]

All of senses are right here, waiting to explode out of my pocket like a shenanigan on a hot summer day in December of Nic Cage.

[ Oh yeah. He went there. ;) ]

Panty, is that you, dumbass?

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[ Dave's mouth twists a bit at being called that. What else was new around these parts?

To be fair, it was actually kind of amusing. But he's still not laughing. Not yet, anyway. ]

Fuck yeah, it's me, Panty, baby girl. My patron deity is that Freya chick and my power is the power of being a giant underwear. Aren't I sexy today giiiirl?

[therangerking.livejournal.com]

[ There might be the soft background noise of footsteps, barely audible. ]

If arrogance is an emotion, then I believe you would have given enough light to colour your district.

voice.

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[ There's a way more noticeable rustling in the background; perhaps some papers being slapped around too, then some slight breathing before he says-- ]

Ok, so what I'm getting from your obscure choice of word phrasing, is that I'm coloring my district. Next thing you'll tell me is that I can paint the colors of the wind, right?

[Okay, so...I may be a little okay with this...just a little...]
