Sup all. This is Dave Strider. I guess I'm unavailable or you wouldn't be hearing this. Hit me up and I'll get back to you.

Holla.

[Record your message after the beep. Once you are done, hang up, or dial one for more options.

Beeeeeeeeeeep.]

[Dirk almost changes the subject. The previous time Dave had no idea that Dirk had so many conflicting feelings. He hadn't listened to a damn thing he said and kept plowing forward. He's keenly aware that some part of him is very bitter at how Dave barely talked to him once he got alien tail and a relationship.

...this one is so different, in a way Bird bro and Dave reflect each other. He wonders if this is how Hal and himself appear to other people.]

I don't know you as well as I want to.
But, I trust you.
I'm telling you this because I don't want to make mistakes or do something stupid I won't see until it blows the fuck up in my face.

[The implications he's fucked up in the past and it still hurts is in the text try as he might each time he thinks how he could have worded it. Unfortunately, it also implies in the past he and Dave had problems and Dirk was left wondering what he did wrong.]

that makes two of us
shit if theres still a lot i dont know about you
its not gonna blow up in your face though
that would imply that im not sometimes scared as hell that i might be the one who makes the mistake and fuck things up

[Dave can read the implication. He doesn't ask of course. Even if he's curious from time to time, he refuses to touch it. It's not his to touch.]

if you do something stupid than you do something stupid
ill tell you it was stupid and then we move on
if i do something you tell me it was stupid
same deal

people do crap all the time and sometimes it wasnt always the best line of action
im not gonna ditch you just for that [That would imply he would have ditched Rose. Or ditch Dirk for less.

Or he doesn't care about them enough or something.]

[The reply is not what he expected to hear, yet it's been his experience with Davesprite. Some tight band inside his chest loosens up. He lets out a breath he didn't even realize he'd been holding.]

We're kids, we're going to make mistakes from time to time.
It's how we learn.
From what you're saying, I know I don't have to say talking shit out is a hell of a lot better than silence.
It sounds like we're on the same radio wave.

[He wonders what to say about that. So he just types the first thing in his head.]

We're cool, Dave.
I wouldn't ditch you, either.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

[The speakers in Stride are thumping whenever Dave arrives. Some song about it being no place for a hero or a better man as Dirk looks over a blueprint laid out on the bar and held in place by two empty mugs.

He makes a few marks in the top and tells the native bartender a line of instruction before he nods to his brother, waving him over.]

Turns out Roxy left behind some journals in case she ever left. That girl always plans ahead.

Dying from doing something enjoyable sounds better than dying from something awful, but dying because you ate it from falling off your skateboard just sounds really sad.

[Dave leans on the bar, across from Dirk. Casual.

The conversation they had was done and dealt with. Won't bring it up unless it feels right to do so. He doesn't think they need to talk about it again. The two of them on the same plane.]

Must be a Lalonde thing. [Kind of. Rose had the upperhand to being a seer.] Or she knew a pair of Striders might recreat a scene of two headless chickens on the offchance she disappears.

Sad and pathetic. We are in full agreement on this subject. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone except perhaps the clown. On a bad day.

The clown- oh him. Didn't actually see him all that much in the three years we were traveling. [He's glad for this. He wouldn't say he's fond of Gamzee.]

For the most part, you are fortunate. There are things I respect about him, but let us say our history is ... complex.

Eh. I had better things to do than figure out what he was doing on his free time.

Honking or killing someone. The great mystery is solved.

Honking. Probably. But I think Karkat ensured that Gamzee didn't go killing people. I don't know.

He was not exactly good at stopping him when I was alive, I assure you Dave-human. I would be surprised if he finally succeeded.

None of us died during the trip, and I can't imagine him having a lot of options passed that.

Kanaya would have probably killed him if he tried.

Then circumstances must have changed to a significant degree. He was quite capable of murder when I last saw him.

I believe that. He went off with Sollux's body around when we arrived. No one has probably went out of their way to look for him. [He hasn't at least. He ignores the events of the meteor. They aren't worth bringing up while he's here.]

Went off with Sollux's body? I... am not sure that I desire an explanation for that. There is something disturbing in the possible implications.

We don't know what happened to all your bodies and I don't want to know what happened to them. I mean, three years and I assume they've decomposed, but who knows if decomposing works while traveling through nothing.

Let us just assume it rotted and that Gamzee did not do something grotesquely inappropriate. [He, however, assumed the opposite.] That would be best.

At this point, it could have been a mix of both. But I'm also not interested in finding out what happened to a bunch of corpses. [Between Gamzee being batshit and Aradia wanting corpse parties....]

Neither am I. If it were Aradia, I think I could cope much more easily. At least she wouldn't be weird and lewd about it. The highblood I am not so certain of. He had odd fixations.

[POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK AT TWELVE O CLOCK]

[Okay technically John is gone, but. WHATEVER. Dave is going to find random sticky notes through out the month and it's starting with these. They're on his broken ass window.

But first assume he got this letter on the doorstep before this since I'm 100% A+ at planning things:

Dave,

If you're reading this.
I'm not currently in the city.
I'll be back though, okay?

-John]

[Are you fucking kidding him right now.

When the fuck did John have the time to stick these things around the place, that asshole. Who has that much time on their hands without being a time aspect player?]
