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. ]

[ 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. ]

Re: permavid.

So.

You're kind of.. maybe.. sort of not really possibly a god now? [ She's trying to keep up!

How's she doing? ]

[ 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'm afraid I do not. You plan to use these things for what the letter says?

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

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

Are you a rapper?

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?

voice;

[pfaugh.livejournal.com]

Have you taken leave of your senses?

[ just wondering. ]

[chillin.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm just a plain ol' kid, dunno, you can label me as a cool kid if you want. Haven't lost my swagger since I got here and I don't plan on.

[ Good enough for anybody that was trying to make sense of his ramblings. ]

You know -- you should tell me about you. Figure it's interesting enough to learn about the people I'm stuck here with, and everyone's got a story, some of them fucked up and hard to get like mine, but they're there; that's for sure.

Well the letter tells me I've gotta live strong to make it strong right? Flourish here like a baby monkey in the zoo. What I don't get is why these powers are suppose to make me happy. I'm not a psychopath looking for world domination, not on Team Rocket and no desire to capture powerful pokemon -- you get the jist.

So yeah, to answer your question, probably. Like I said, I'm not sure I want this city to die.

[dogtear]

heheh :p
but that was very sweet of you to say!

oh
well theres a story to that
im probably not the jade you know :(
i was her dreamself, but then i died and she prototyped me into her sprite
i have met the sprite version of you, though!!

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[chillin.livejournal.com]

[ Yep. Rhymes. ]

[dogtear]

yes that is basically what i am
and that is basically what he is!

he was very nice, even though he wasnt doing so well when we met up ;__;

[ 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.
