[Video] 04 Feathers

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Okay. Here's the scene. It's the middle of the day, and everything looks pretty normal in whoever's kitchen part of his/her apartment.

All of a sudden, pick a Katy Perry song. At max volume.

Cue Davesprite entering the scene, carrying in baking supplies for assorted baked goods. It might be brownies. It might be cookies. It might even be a cake. Either way, Davesprite is baking while blasting Katy Perry. Why the hell not?

...Okay, and he might be singing along a little bit. Shut up.]

Hey, this is shameful enough, prince charming.

[At least he can admit when it's a shameful addiction?]

[shippingmath]

I suppose we'll have to keep each other's secrets. Except I can't manage that, since you showed the whole network. Good going, bro.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I realized that the moment you and Jack Skellington responded. For that, you're not getting a snickerdoodle.

[Since that's what he's making in this thread fight me.]

[shippingmath]

I live with Jane. Your withholding of baked goods is invalid.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Then I'm withholding all the orange soda I've got stashed here.

[shippingmath]

Bro, you've seen my house, how is this a threat.

[In other words, he's actually staying at the Alpha house again.]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Speaking of, things get resolved on your end?

[He actually has been meaning to check up on that.]

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

[He filters his response. No gossip necessary for this bit.]

They started to, here, but mostly when I went home. I'm from his future now. We broke up.

I broke up with him.

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Davesprite does the same, if only out of courtesy to Dirk.]

You alright?

[Really, he feels a little bad, but he just can't care less about Jake's well-being at the moment. Noooot after the Valentine's thing. There's a long path of redemption if Jake ever wants to be friends with Davesprite at this point.]

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

Yeah. [Mostly. On this. It sure didn't help his self-esteem, but it was better than sitting around waiting to hear back from Jake and knowing that he wouldn't. ]

Bigger shit's going down, anyway. Who knows, maybe we'll finally be done waiting for this goddamn session to get moving.

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

If it's April 13th, then yeah, shit's going down town.

[Ugh, these relationships, jfc.]

Would it offend you any that I'm sorely tempted to punch him in the face?

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

Tomorrow is the thirteenth, and shit's already gone down. That probably says something about how this shit will go.

[Dirk snorts a laugh at that.]

Not at all. I think Jane did something similar.

[Worse, actually.]

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Good point.

[Oh, excellent, he got Dirk to sort of laugh.]

Then all I can say is good for her and I hope it hurt.

[All the awkward since he's also thinking about his previous conversation with Jane about Jake and just. Fuck, man, these Alpha kids and their romance issues.]

By the way, the key to my apartment will be coming in tomorrow. Took 'em long enough.

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

[Davesprite is the Strider whisperer. Maybe it has something to do with him being a Strider.]

Key? You haven't had one 'til now?

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I had one, but I needed to get a couple of copies. Figure you and or Dave needed one, and I needed a spare just in case. My memory can be pretty shitty sometimes.

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

That an invitation to come over whenever?

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Yup. Take it or leave it, man.

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

Bro, of course I'm gonna take it.

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Then I'll drop the key off in your room, if that's cool?

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

Sure thing. Pretty sure everything is unlocked.

[Everything generally meaning "the door," but Davesprite is welcome to try a window.]

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Got it. I'll drop it off when I get it.

[Of course he's gonna try the window, he's a feathery asshole.]

You want anything else before I get down and dirty with this dough?

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

Nah. Though I'll be singing fucking Katy Perry for the rest of the week and I reserve the right to blame you for it.

[Filtered]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Then I consider my work done that she's now stuck in your head.

[Filtered]

[shippingmath]

[Apparently it's possible to flip someone off good-naturedly, because that's what Dirk is doing right now.]
