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 ?
[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.
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. ]
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?
[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?
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.
[THIS. WAS. STUPID. While Dave's expression remains the same, the same can't be said for John and after one bite and swallow he immediately drops the cookie.]
I am never listening to your idea about snacks ever again.
...draw it. Both of them. I want to see what happens. [And let's just assume that yes instead of training this is definitely what they waste their time on instead.]
[ i'm glad it took them like 6 days to start legitimate training. DAVE WILL DRAW THE THINGS? we can probably wrap this one because 10 zillion threads but.
ring pop + fruit roll ups lucky charms cereal + captain crunch cereal sugary apple rings + pop rocks laffy taffy + licorice
[It's John, there's no way they wouldn't end up distracted because he's involved. But also he'll probably bug Dave continually to make the apple rings + pop rocks combo and the cereal combo a lot after this day, RIP Strider.]

Hello to you, too. [He doesn't immediately get up though.] Oreos first?
no subject
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... ]

no subject
[ 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.
no subject
...do you think maybe they are fusing in the opposite way on purpose?
no subject
no subject
That worked better. Which one do you want? [Because they are both bound to be gross.]
no subject
[ i.e. the newest one. he holds out his hand for it? ]
Count of three?
no subject
Count of three. One, two, three. [And he'll just bite into his cookie because delaying it will be worse.]
no subject
...
his expression alters not at all as he chews and swallows.
BUT CHRIST WAS THIS A POOR LIFE CHOICE ]
no subject
I am never listening to your idea about snacks ever again.
no subject
If I asked you to combine two other snackfoods right this second you probably would.
no subject
That would depend on the other snackfoods. How am I supposed to trust your judgement after this? This is betrayal, Dave. Absolutely betrayal.
But yeah, maybe later. We'll see.
no subject
Fruit roll up ring pops?
no subject
...draw it. Both of them. I want to see what happens. [And let's just assume that yes instead of training this is definitely what they waste their time on instead.]
