WHO: dave strider + open as heck!

WARNINGS: idiocy

WEDNESDAY MAY 17TH OPTION A

[ it might be imperative to know how to track dave down or contact him in person for this one, because while you might see him, you'll basically see him messing around with some floating records. he scratches them, and a strange red gear (or a lot of them) pop into existence and turn and then dave is just Gone. his expression before he disappears is at least entirely startled, even though he's usually pretty good about keeping a poker face.

clearly this was an alien abduction. oops. ]

WEDNESDAY MAY 17TH OPTION B

[ the first time, it was an accident. he woke up to a new bullshit item, he fucked around with new bullshit item, and...

...well, shit happened. the second time it wasn't so much an accident, and the third time it was on purpose, but it's a whole chain of events that leads to idiocy like this: dave strider standing beside himself in intense conversation in apprassage, in one of the many walk-around paths. it's not like he's ever been secretive about having a twin, but that twin is a girl, and shorter than him, and not...you know, dave, duplicated. and also there is only one of her, but there seems to be a third dave jogging down the path in the opposite direction, and

this is so STUPID

what are they saying? well, if you're close enough, you'll notice that one of the daves is significantly more frustrated than the other, who just looks Tired As Hell. ]

- don't understand why you won't.

[ the response is: ] Because you didn't. Anyway, just do what you're gonna do, man.

With what - oh, shit. [ apparently he didn't expect to get caught doing...whatever the hell he is doing. ]

SATURDAY MAY 20TH

[ there's just one of him right now, but dave looks absolutely fucking exhausted. there are probably dark circles under his eyes, but who can tell with the shades? he approaches you apparently at random and says: ]

Yo. So, I gotta talk to you, if you got a second?

[ ...it's mostly because of Really Stupid Reasons, and his deadpan tone conveys the idea that he finds this entire thing really. dumb. ]

TUESDAY MAY 23RD

[ tuesday the 23rd dave doesn't seem to be doing any time travel practice or anything Weird, except he's kind of hanging out in the park at some point kind of idly holding a terrible sword. like. its not even worthy of a "w", this is a sord... of idiotic proportions.

he can recognize most network people by face, but even if he doesn't know you, there's one relevant question to ask: ]

Yo, do you see what this is doin' to my hands or is it, like, all in my head? [ he has to know. what the hell is this piece of crap and why has he not thrown it out. ...also why is he hanging out in the park alone after school, actually, but whatever. ]

FRIDAY MAY 26TH

This is a dumbass idea. [ says one dave to another, near the edge of the recollé woods. it's pretty late, so why are you up, and why is he up, but whatever. they both seem to be facing off with a sword in their respective left hands. ]

Yeah, maybe, but am I actually gonna do it or not? [ there's no reply, so: ] Thought so.

You know what they say about countin' chickens? [ the other one says, gesturing behind the first. hey. you've been spotted. ]

WILDCARD

[ if none of the above work feel free to throw me a different prompt / pm me or w/e to bang out an idea and i can write you up a specific prompt. i am more than happy to do so, esp if you'd like to work towards some kind of specific regain. ]

[parodeity]

...If you want one of me can go somewhere else so there's just, like, me?

[glaciers]

I can deal with your time double.

... Why do you have swords?

[parodeity]

Iiiii was considerin' a solo swordfight? With like. Time powers. To see what all it can do in battle.

[glaciers]

[Huh.]

That explains why you're here.

[parodeity]

What about you? I mean, why are you out so late?

[glaciers]

The last scene for the season went long.

[parodeity]

Oh, sweet. Cliffhanger?

[glaciers]

Something like that. For the main character, mine just happened to be there.

[parodeity]

How're you doin' otherwise, dude? I mean...memory wise.

[glaciers]

... I don't know what to do about them. They're... kind of weird. Like superpowers are supposed to be normal. And there are schools for it.

[parodeity]

That actually sounds kinda more normal than some shit I've heard. So you're gonna manifest superpowers probably?

[glaciers]

That's likely at this point.

... I'm not sure I'm ready for them.

[parodeity]

In what sense? Responsibility wise or...

[glaciers]

None of my clothes are superpower proof.

I'd prefer not going and buying new clothes because of them.

[parodeity]

Oh, ok, that's a fair reason to not be ready. Maybe you'll get superpower proof clothes in the mail? That seems to be a thing that can, like, happen.

[glaciers]

Has that happened a lot? I don't... have the best luck.

[parodeity]

Clothes? Kind of off and on...most of what I've gotten has been, like, random items tbh. I may someday get clothes back I assume but I haven't so far...but I've seen some people talk about uniforms they got or whatever?

[glaciers]

... I guess it's going to be different for everybody.

Superhero's uniforms are usually powerproof. At least for their powers.

[parodeity]

So yours could like...be set on fire or whatnot?

[glaciers]

If I set myself on fire? I hope so.

[parodeity]

Hey, do you think you could fly?

[glaciers]

... With fire? Or just in general?

[parodeity]

Both? I mean, some superheroes have like, multiple powers right?

[glaciers]

Only a few of them do. Or they're aliens who're thriving on Earth.

[parodeity]

Do you think you were secretly an alien in your past life?
