[ dave just watches john put away his clothes, not interfering or helping. it's "davesprite" but just nanna and jaspers, and he wonders if it's because john's talking to him or not. dave doesn't think so; it isn't like john doesn't care about hurting others, but more that dave isn't certain the nuance of calling someone else dave to dave's face would occur to john off the bat. so probably that was the norm.
it sounds sad, and lonely, and he immediately gets the same feeling he did when jade kept talking about how he (davesprite) broke her heart. these are things he doesn't think he would do.
but he would, wouldn't he? if circumstances were just right. and it's not a thought he likes to have, but it is one that the time player has to acknowledge and accept. ]
I was really jealous Rose got to see you that one time. All I got was, uh, seein' you skewered by Meenah the one time? What the fuck was up with that, by the way.
[ but john offered him the ship and dave feels like he should do the same. ]
Did I mention I get on with Vantas these days? I mean, I guess you may've figured from when we popped the fuck out of nowhere on you for a bit there and like, we didn't yell at one another - not that I yell, I just talk and he yells - but like. It took the better part of two goddamn years, and a bit of the third. And the thing is, it was kind of a pair the spares sort of situation platonically? Like...
[ a shrug. ]
The first year, right, we couldn't stand one another. Rose and Kan were always researchin' shit and I talked to them and all, but it started to feel a little like intrudin' eventually and I didn't always. I spent most of my time with the mayor. Terezi hung out with us back then, too, so it was mostly the three of us. Gamzee, uh, I saw him once in a hallway? Like, over the course of that entire fuckin' trip. So he was useless. But like, by year two it was...
[ ...well, by year two rose had started to drink a little. ]
It was a thing. Rose and I still hung out but for certain reasons, we didn't really talk as much as we used to, or not in the same, like...way. And she and Kan started actually datin', so. And also by then Terezi went full on, uh, she and Gamzee started a kismespades thing which is the hate date quadrant for the record and that was a complete fuckin' trainwreck but anyway I told her we were like, friends and all, but I didn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole. And so by year three I mostly hung out with the Mayor still and also Karkat? And like, everyone else was...not so much.
[ he had never been certain how to handle rose's drinking. he's glad she hasn't touched a drop, here. ]
Mostly we worked on can town. Which is like, exactly what it sounds like. It took up a few rooms by the time the trip was done? I worked on music, too, and uh, we watched movies sometimes...but it was...I dunno. It was a pain in the ass.
