[ dave lets it become a joke without missing a beat. ]

i didnt realize you needed permission to do that
i mean
we have a dilapidated mansion in reach
i can draw you the outfit
you can go live your larp ghostbuster dreams?

it sounds interesting but i will leave you to it and just see you in the evening
rn im trying to practice my drawing and also may just zone out and listen to some more music
note to both of us ill run out of juice on this player soon and i want to see if rose can enchant it to be powered or something
magic charger

you say that but what if we did something unholy like
dorito oreos

fuck i kinda wanna try some now

[windeity]

[This is why they're friends. This is exactly how things have always been.]

ok but you cannot tell me that wouldn't be an awesome thing to do? maybe not right now but later.
what if we find a ghost planet, dave? like less stupid than a dream bubble but still filled with other ghosts? then this won't be so funny.

i'll update you with progress tonight then.
we have a while until the evening. i am surprised the battery lasted this long.
rose made light. light is energy. if you figured out how to enchant a current i bet you could charge it?
i tried to tell jade magic was better than science and she did not listen.

and that sounds really gross!
but probably doable, yeah.

[parodeity]

ugh fine
IF we find a ghost planet
i will larp ghostbusters with you
but that is the only scenario in which that is a thing that will occur

[ tbh john could probably get him to do it in other scenarios. but. ]

ive been doing music sparingly
but yeah ill chat with rose about it in a bit maybe
maybe i will do that this afternoon too and see what she can come up with
since
purgatory without music is just ridiculous
also youre literally our sessions ectobiologist why do you hate science
wait
thats why you hate science isnt it

dont even front you want to try them too dont you

[windeity]

that is all i am asking. proton packs, strider.
they are important.

that sounds ok. nothing else to really do this afternoon anyway.
that is not why i hate science. i mean yes, ectobiology continues to be stupid, but that's not why.
i just think science is stupid in that we were traveling at the speed of light and things still took three years. science does not conform the way it should.

absolutely not. but we are doing it anyway, aren't we.

[parodeity]

but then youre gonna tell me about crossing the streams like 900 times

so basically science is stupid because it didnt supply you with instant strider gratification
when put in those terms i might have to agree
even though i like science
nebulously

yeah because secretly deep down youre curious too

[windeity]

yes, but are you going to listen to me?

that's. kind of it i guess, yeah. you and rose both. i like science just fine normally but not when it is inconvenient like that.

bluh. whatever, fine, we can make the cheese oreos and see how awful they are.

[parodeity]

john everyone knows you dont cross the streams

i find science is mostly inconvenient whenever we need to do anything but every other time its fine

ill bring the components over and we can try them pre training?

[windeity]

i know that and everyone else knows that but you're also you and sometimes you do just as much dumb shit as i do because you feel like it.

[Not quite. Dave can be contradictory but he's a little better on the "follow your impulses" scale, at least.]

that is how i feel about science, too,
and i do not think science matters here much when this is all magic. oh well.

sure. it would be good practice for both of us still, too.
after you see rose?

[parodeity]

egbert no one does as much dumb shit as you do just because they feel like it
youre like the master of whimsical bullshit
its actually kind of impressive

and yes after i see rose
where do you wanna meet up ?

[windeity]

thanks.
but that still does not deny that dumb shit happens.

outside of rose's? since she is in the middle it makes sense, and then we can walk down to the beach or back to the woods.

[parodeity]

to grandmothers house we go
but yeah ok ill see you at roses in a few hours bro
try not to eat anything weird until that point in time

[windeity]

sure, i will keep my appetite for shitty oreos.
see you later.

[parodeity]

[ and later dave will show up? this time he actually makes noise, though only when he's within ten feet of john, and on purpose. ]

[windeity]

[He's seated on the ground with Vrillyhoo at his side, and though he does appreciate Dave notifying him he looks up and gives an amused look.]

Hello to you, too. [He doesn't immediately get up though.] Oreos first?

[parodeity]

[ he abruptly stops making noise as soon as john looks up. ]

Yep, that works. [ he goes to sit beside john, and pulls out the light-pen to start doodling mid-air.

he goes more carefully, since it is food they intend to eat... ]

[windeity]

[He's watching Dave curiously, unsure if he should point it out or leave it alone. The hint of amusement's still there but he's quiet even as Dave settles next to him in the space John's left him.

He's watching the light pen and he doesn't speak for a moment so Dave can concentrate.]

...it still looks pretty awesome, dude. [A nod to the pen.] Even if it doesn't change how your power works, it looks cooler.

[parodeity]

It's definitely more useful. This won't run out of ink ever.

[ look...he is trying Not to startle john apparently, but making noise doesn't come naturally. he spent too many years trying to be silent as the grave.

eventually he produces a package of oreos and a bag of doritos, and hands them to john with his eyebrows raised. ]

Ready, Doctor?

[windeity]

Yeah, plus you won't have to worry about running out of paper or anything to draw. [He looks genuinely delighted (and maybe part of it is because he had a hand in creating this thing) but for the most part he's...also fairly comfortable. John is used to white noise by nature with his father puttering around in the kitchen in his old life, and the noises on the ship over the last three years. It's one more thing to get used to about Dave. But that can come later.

Still, once the oreos and the doritos are presented he settles for a light smirk and takes the items.]

Thanks, Igor. [Give him a moment to open both packages, taking one cookie and one chip out each.] Any bets how these will fuse?

[parodeity]

Dorito crackers with oreo creme between them?

[ it's one of a few options and sounds like the most disgusting one. ]

Flip the switch! Or wait, that should be me, I guess. You must be Igor.

[windeity]

[SIGH.] You just cannot let me be the cool one for once, can you? [He doesn't seem bothered about being Igor in this situation though and he concentrates on the items in his hands, frowning to himself before producing...a cookie sandwich with dorito-flavored cream in the middle.]

...do you think maybe they are fusing in the opposite way on purpose?

[parodeity]

Like, do I think your magical ability has a personality and is out to get us specifically? I don't know, try to do another one. We need two to eat, anyway.

[windeity]

[Yes that is what he meant but okay, he'll repeat the process here and...now we have two round Doritos with vanilla frosting in the middle.]

That worked better. Which one do you want? [Because they are both bound to be gross.]

[parodeity]

I'll take doritos and cream.

[ i.e. the newest one. he holds out his hand for it? ]

Count of three?

[windeity]

[He'll hand over the doritos and cream sandwich before picking up the cookies and doritos-cream one.]

Count of three. One, two, three. [And he'll just bite into his cookie because delaying it will be worse.]

[parodeity]

[ dave also obviously bites into his at the same time?

...

his expression alters not at all as he chews and swallows.

BUT CHRIST WAS THIS A POOR LIFE CHOICE ]
