[The network is greeted by Dirk Strider with his back to the lake in Gefion Park. He crosses his arms over his chest and shakes his head.] Man, no. We've seen nothing but, water for a long ass time. I'm keeping my feet firmly on the terra firma until I grow sick of it.

Come on it's just a boat ride! It'll be fun! [Roxy comes into view behind him, pulling a face as if to say "oh man he's being no fun again."] Diiiiiiirk....

[Dirk sighs. His lack of 'fun' is what got him into a lot of messes.] I still haven't shaken off the ducks that are looking for more handouts.

[He looks down at the birds still looking up hopefully at him.] I go into their domain and we'll never come back out.

Then embrace your new role as duck overlord and get on this boat with me! C'mon, you're the one that wants to go on that trip to water world anyway. Why's that better than this?

It isn't. The sea trip has to be done. We need to know why that place is sealed from people of this world, but not from others. Which sounds like a trap-- fine. Bring out the boat. [A pause.]


Do you even know how to row?

[Letting out a small cheer, she motions for him to follow her.] That's part of the fun? [No, she does not.]

[This is going to end well.] You know I don't either, right?

It's a learning experience! Now smile for the camera, this is going into the imaginary photo album!

What? [Now he looks puzzled. Wait.] ...the bracelet is on, isn't it.

[ooc: Joint post by Dirk and Roxy. They'll both answer any comments.]

Comments

[holyfight]

Oh! That's true! I'd just tell one or two people and then they'd tell their friends, too!

[tipsygnostalgia]

Pretty much!

Soooo do you have any gossip like that to share?

[holyfight]

Eh heh, I-I don't really know... I mean... it was just the flowers being cursed, right...?

[tipsygnostalgia]

What sort of cursed exactly? I mean there can be good-curse and bad-curse..

[holyfight]

W-Well, that particular flower... it made us kiss...

[tipsygnostalgia]

Ooooh~!

How was it? Was it a good kiss?

[holyfight]

I-It was a little strange! But it was nice! The first one was kind of awkward, but I think we figured it out after that!

[tipsygnostalgia]

So is kissing Ichigo going to become a regular thing now, hmm~?

[holyfight]

Umm, I'm not sure! I-I think so! Maybe? He didn't really say...

[tipsygnostalgia]

Waaaah he didn't?

You should try and find out! You two would make a cute couple, I'm totally behind it.

[holyfight]

Eh heh, you don't think it'd be too much orange together?

[ba-TUSH]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Nope! But hey if you guys had kids can you picture all the little orange haired babies? Hehe.

[holyfight]

That's not... that's not weird, though, is it? I mean... genetically, they'd definitely have hair like ours. They'd probably even get teased at school...

[Clearly this is a topic Orihime has given some thought to.]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Why would anyone wanna tease it? You have totally gorgeous hair. It's cute!

[holyfight]

Eh heh... we both got teased in school about it. Not many people have hair this color back home.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Well I think it's cute, and anyone who says anything bad about it have gotta be jelly.

[holyfight]

You know, I never thought of it like that! Maybe they really were!

Unless you meant they were actually jelly, in which case I don't think they were. I mean, if they were, they kept it really well hidden!

[tipsygnostalgia]

Nah I meant the jealous kind of jelly here. If they were real jelly you could've just threatened to eat them or something.

[holyfight]

Only if they were really good jelly! Like rose jelly or currant jelly! None of the cheap grape kind!

[tipsygnostalgia]

Exactly. Hehe.

[holyfight]

What kind of jellies do you have back home?
