[For those familiar with Dirk, they might notice something unusual about him today- for all that he usually wears shirts decorated with hats, he hasn't ever been a fan of wearing them. Until now, apparently, considering he's wearing one right now. It goes a long way toward making him look like Bro Strider, which is impressive, since they already look like clones.

It doesn't seem like he's about to talk about that, though.]

I have to say, I'm impressed by the amount of whining we've gotten for a simple curse like this. Jesus shit, it's a minor one, calm your tits and deal.

[He is NOT showing his finless face on the network, thanks.]

Minor for who exactly? This curse may not be some fantastical piece a garbage, like turnin' us into other species and the like. But, for me, it's a strike to the fuckin' ego, and that's downright unexceptable!

[HUFF!]

So what the fuck did it do to you? Obviously not somethin' too heinous, seein' as you think this curse ain't no big deal an' all.

[Deadpan.]

Oh no. Your ego. As if it couldn't use some deflating already.

[He shrugs and taps the brim of his hat.]

What's it look like?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I wouldn't consider it "minor" in some cases.

[Sup, dude, Davesprite is now human. The only difference between him and Dave is that his hair has a bit of an orange tint to it. Eye color, too, but who's going to fucking see that I mean seriously.]

[shippingmath]

[As if he'd let an absolute stranger see anything behind his shades, right?]

Still nothing to pitch a fit over. You enjoying those legs, bro?

[Rainbow Dash just looks...utterly miserable. And very much without her wings.]

I can't fly. That's a pretty major concern, Dirk.

[Video]

[shippingmath]

Welcome to living like all the rest of us. If you're that mad just find someone to give you rides for the week. Or two, however long this one lasts.

[Rainbow Dash being miserable would usually be enough to get sympathy out of Dirk, even if he tried to keep cool about it. But not this time.]

[Look Dirk, he can type colors!]

but not being able to talk is really hard

[shippingmath]

Then enjoy all the typing practice you're getting.

[Ugh, Dirk again. He couldn't possibly care less what he thinks of the latest curse -- to be fair, Kid hasn't thought much on it, too preoccupied with certain things, like for once, his father answering his calls, and his friends finding certain reasons for personal distress -- it's just his very appearance causes him the sort of aggravation that warrants a response.]

And yet you saw fit to waste time, yours and ours, on the matter--

[Wait.]

[Something's different.

Naturally, a detail-oriented (more like obsessed) individual like Death the Kid would pick up on it immediately. Dirk's hair, never ceasing to be a source of irritation with its 'artfully yet asymmetrically windswept' appearance, was presently hidden by the appealingly regular shape of a hat.]

[...Oh no.

That moment when the rival you want to simultaneously drive to greater heights of development as well as smash his face into the nearest curb looks distressingly attractive in accordance to certain tastes of aesthetics.]

...





[It's not often that Kid flusters.]

Take that ridiculous thing off this very instant.

[relinquishing]

I'm pretty sure its severity is all over the place. Let people complain if they have to.

Glad to hear you got the mild end of it though, I guess.

[text]

[shippingmath]

And exactly how bad can it be? Since you don't seem to have gotten the "mild end."

[formerabyssinian]

I couldn't agree more. [He had to deal with being a mage or something last month, along with stupid robes and no fighting skills. Everyone else is just weak.]

[TEXT]

[shippingmath]

Should I thank you for validating my opinion?

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

A hat? Is that seriously what you got out of this?

[Hey, Dirk. Guess who woke up Monday evening?]

At least I got something useful out of it: I can fly. Though I am pissed off that I still can't figure out what I lost in exchange for it.

[VIDEO]

[shippingmath]

[Oh, good! Maybe Karkat will be able to step in before Eridan and Dirk do something drastic like become friends.]

News flash: If you can't figure out what you lost, it's probably not important.

[That's the situation Dirk thinks he's in! And oh, how wrong he is.]

[For once, Rin can... kind of sort of agree with this. Sort of. Even if he was one of the ones making a big deal at the start.]

Yeaaah I kinda... panicked over stupid shit. There've been way worse curses than this.

'course some people might actually be worse off than me? I'unno.

[shippingmath]

If they have it worse off, they can deal with their problems without whining over the network about it.

[Rin admitting he overreacted prevents him from getting Dirk's full scorn, at least.]

[Voice]

[ourfirststeps]

I don't know, I think it can be pretty major for some people!

Even if it is for a short while, it's still pretty important!

[Voice]

[shippingmath]

Whatever you say. You want to give me a good example?

Fuck off, white knight.

[As soon as Dirk decides to go out and happens to chance a glance upwards, he may just spot Bro sitting atop one of the nearby buildings, his legs dangling over the edge as he looks out over the city. His katana is resting across his lap, a sign that he's feeling especially restless.]

By now, he's sure he lost Lil Cal to the curse and won't be seeing him until this thing passes. At least, he sure as hell hopes the end of the curse will bring Cal back to him. Considering what he got in return, he's not sure it was a fair trade either. Not much he can do about it, though. He has to wait it out. He'd go do it at his own apartment, but he'd rather avoid Davesprite right now.]

[Action]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk does eventually separate himself from being a troll long enough to go outside, and sure enough, he spots Bro perched up on the roof. He does note the katana on Bro's lap, and he's wondering if he should be ready for a strife.]

Yo.
