7/8

[parodeity]

hey man so i thought of the most important question ever while we were split up
why the fuck arent a group of squid called a squad
please advise

[ he's checking in with john either after they are technically asleep or in the evening before dinner, it is Your Choice. ]

[windeity]

[There is a short delay because like. John was finally asleep and yet. AND YET.]

...hehehehehe.
i mean that is a great question? have you asked rose?
a squad of squid makes perfect sense.

[parodeity]

[ and yet now...he can never lose his computing device and dave can talk to him ALL THE TIME isn't this great ]

not yet she gets feisty when i wake her up for this kind of thing
for SOME reason
rose totally appreciates a good joke but usually only at "reasonable hours of the day"
according to her
personally i think all hours are reasonable for such important topics as these?

[windeity]

that's because you are always up at all hours, remember? it is why timezones never really bothered any of us.
do you think if there are space crabs there are space squid-squads here, too?

[parodeity]

why do you want to try to eat some space squid-squads too
but yeah probably
we really need to map this island out and see what resources we have
i know someone can create food and i can draw whatever but like
i feel like when we can live off non magic shit we should?

7/9 morning also...

[parodeity]

are you feeling better

[windeity]

sort of.
i think i have stopped puking at least.
so yes?
we should maybe start looking around the island though.

[parodeity]

ok so that wasnt a resounding yes so im ignoring your stupid idea about exploring
can you stomach eating anything
like
i dont know
oatmeal or something really bland
what helps you to eat when youre sick
you specifically you i mean
since youre the one who is sick
and i will acquire whatever it is

[windeity]

dave, i'm fine. i just need to finish sweating out the fever and take it easy, i can still go and do stuff.
are you and rose both up already? wait, never mind, of course you are because you messaged me but what about rose?
...and where would you even acquire oatmeal if that was actually a thing i wanted?

7/13

[parodeity]

[ at a random point in the afternoon. ]

hey are you doing training or what
did you train on your ship
not like magical training
like swinging your damn hammer around training
did you just wing it on pure talent
man props to past me hammers clearly worked out for you

[windeity]

[Ah yes, isn't it nice that John can't lose his brain and therefore can respond all the time?]

not really? to both of those.
swinging a hammer is not that hard but learning to use the different hammers has taken time.
also fuck you, you could have warned me about what would happen!
...but yeah it worked out.

[parodeity]

oh whatever what the fuck were your other options anyway
did you really want to be cunningdisguisekind
smokepelletkind
cakekind
but ok fair enough
i do not understand how you are as strong as you are without practice
but then again your dad apparently lifts safes for fun or whatever
so im pretty sure you come by this honest
although
genetically speaking no???
since he is
i GUESS your brother????
you know what actually lets pretend i didnt broach the topic of ectobiology
its a stupid science and i refuse to think about our stupid family trees

[windeity]

i don't know! i could have figured out something and this just happened to work out.
and i don't know! it just happened? but i mean. i hit the crux-thingy with a sledgehammer without a problem so i guess maybe it is just a thing.
the whole ecto-everything gives me a headache, dude, just stop.
anyway why? are you asking me to come at you with a hammer to train with your sword or are you just asking?

7/14 action

[parodeity]

[ "On the 14th, Genette will be tasked with trying desperately to clean out the crab colony from the bathhouse. No official log will go up for this, but it's something that may lead to some nasty pinches -- perhaps a good opportunity for some healing! There's also a lot of space in the bathhouse for private conversations, so characters can feel free to slack off on cleaning duty to have some much needed chatting time."

oh good another reason to bother ty

anyway dave will actually knock on john's door and wait with his hands in his pockets on friday morning to see if john is going to go help with this cleaning expedition with other people? but specifically with him, dave, who is right here ]

[windeity]

[I'm glad these are your priorities and I approve. Anyway, so there is a knock and he is a little confused because who the hell is knocking and why? But okay, he's opening the door and upon seeing Dave there's immediately a grin before he tilts his head.]

I'm almost surprised you knocked. Morning. What's up? [Training was agreed for evenings and breakfast is a thing but. Well. Hi Dave.]

[parodeity]

[ dave doesn't like barging into rooms okay!! ]

Apparently a bunch of people are gonna try to kick the crabs out of the bathhouse, led by Genette. You in?

[ obviously john can be Out, but dave just assumes john will be in because he's usually down for whatever??? ]

[windeity]

[Thanks for being courteous. He's leaning against the doorframe of his hut and he smiles slowly because. Like. Yes?]

I did swear vengeance on the crabs the other night. [In between whining and puking and slowly dying, yes.] I bet we can come up with something good to get rid of them.

7/19 this is basically my own personal inbox rn. why.

[parodeity]

Egbert, open up. [ there is a knock on the door that is actually dave kicking the door. there are clothes piled in his arms so he can't knock properly, ok? also relevant: dave's in black skinny jeans and his usual long-sleeved record tee. he apparently has that back now. why this. ] Special delivery.

I can't believe every single thread is you. except I can.

[windeity]

[He'd been doing the Egbertian thing he's become accustom to lately which is "laying on his cot staring at the ceiling and wondering about Everything" by the time Dave kicks his door. He's up immediately and walks to the door, opening it and already opening his mouth to say something when he notices what Dave's holding.]

...busy day? [Dude. What. But he's also stepping aside so that Dave can come in and set down the clothes pile. That shit's probably heavy. (Also he definitely notices the usual outfit is back but says nothing about it.)]

when will someone free you from this hell

[parodeity]

[ john that's depressing knock it off. dave will set the pile on john's bed, though, and then separate it. there's a boring-ish section of clothes there for jake in. john sizes since dave knows not a lot about jake? ]

Dirk came over to ask me to draw him clothes and then we just went through everyone else, too. [ SINCE. WHY NOT? ] Maybe you'll get to do your laundry less if there's more of it?

[ relevant 2 john: "john is similarly easy, although dave has to actually think about the sizes more here. the same onslaught of pants and shirts but john wears shorts so he gets some of those too. they're mostly dumb movies tees and the ghost tee he remembers, but some bowties and nicer shirts and pants too. the usual practicalities are added on. he patterns those as stupidly as possible (there is no point to a pair of socks with nic cage's face on them but okay) but also adds some plain things." & "coats. he forgot coats. jesus. okay. he just color assigns people based on what he knows (rose is purple john is blue dave is red) or what is easy (dirk is his godtier maroon, and dark blue is for jade's grandpa) and then does sweatshirts also. it's warm here but it might not be elsewhere." ]

never, probably

[windeity]

[He's fine??? Let him live. He's hovering for a moment as he watches the clothing be separated into piles, easily able to tell what belongs to whom.]

Oh. That's cool. [Whether he means about Dave drawing clothes or him doing less laundry he doesn't say, but he's also immediately looking at his pile. There's definitely a look of appreciation because yes okay he likes bowties and fancier shit, but what really gets his attention is the dumb ghost shirt.]

Dude. [Okay well. Bye. He's going to dart forward and pick it up, shaking it out and noticing it's actually his size? And without thinking he's also moving to pull off his own shirt and swap to the ghost tee. Let him live.] I'm already afraid to ask what this looked like before Dirk fixed it, but sweet. Thanks. [There's a pause though before. Yeah. He picks up one of the Nic Cage socks.] ...really?

text, Day 15 at stupid o'clock

[soulcomet]

I'm sorry to bother you so late

Could you message me when you get a chance?

[windeity]

it's not a bother. are you okay?

[Like. It's late, so of course that's his immediate question. Why is John awake? Probably because his stupid cat-like best friend doesn't sleep either and he's used to this now.]

[soulcomet]

[Madoka's almost always too polite to message people this late at night, so the fact that she did might also be a pretty good clue. she's. not really in a great place right now.]

I was hoping you could give me some advice?

[windeity]

[This is getting even more worrisome, but at least she has his full attention.]

i can definitely try. i mean, like, i will do my best but.
okay you know what, forget i said that. yes, i can.
what's going on?
