WARNINGS: idiocy
[ 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.WEDNESDAY MAY 17TH OPTION B
clearly this was an alien abduction. oops. ]
[ the first time, it was an accident. he woke up to a new bullshit item, he fucked around with new bullshit item, and...SATURDAY MAY 20TH
...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. ]
[ 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: ]TUESDAY MAY 23RD
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 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.FRIDAY MAY 26TH
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. ]
This is a dumbass idea. [ says one dave to another, near the edge of the recollΓ© 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. ]WILDCARD
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. ]
[ 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. ]

[Wait. FUCK. NO]
Notβno. Fuck. Not that. Goddammit. Fuck. I meant I want to live with human beings, not puppets. I prefer yours to a weird puppet, and Rox's, Rose's, Jake's, Prompto's, Mom and Dad's. All of that. I want the people I care about. The puppets can fuck off.
no subject
snort. ]
But like...do you feel like you're gonna be missin' out on an important...thing. Like...like if I said "hey you eatin' oranges fucks me up".
[ it does not he's just using an example for his point ]
no subject
No, this is nowhere near the level of sadness I'd get from missin' out on oranges.
no subject
[ hypotheticals ]
no subject
no subject
Yeah, ok.
no subject
Does that solution not check out?
no subject
[ vague hand gestures. ]
It'd be weird to have you have this whole important part of your life or interests you can't even mention to me in passin'. Or...maybe that's normal, I don't know, but I don't really like the thought of it I guess?? I don't want to make you just stop talkin' about shit because of weird bullshit past lives.
no subject
Normal or not, it isn't exactly how you and me do things. I get what you mean. I can't present an easy solution to it, either.
[it isn't simple. it's complicated, and difficult.]
We could... work on undoing associations. Yet that seems to be trying to work exact opposite to the flow that your memories are pushing.
no subject
[ he says, like there still isn't shit he hasn't told or hesitates on. but. ]
...It's the same kinda feelin', I guess. [ ...also: ] I'm not...sure. I can undo a puppet association. I have...like. So many puppet memories? And literally every one of them is, like, whatever.
[ TRAUMATIC? the first one was like "haha creepy puppets ok then" the second one was "um" and then he's kind of just stopped counting and would like the puppet memory train to Cease for the love of fucking god ]
Other stuff maybe but like, I, uh, do not know that I can manage that one??
no subject
[Dirk is wheedling information out of him slowly. Very slowly. But he's making it happen?? he's doing this man]
Like I said, puppets aren't really a priority. Sure, I feel like I'm more fond of them. But I don't have that gaping hole in my life that weird felt plushes should replace.
So we can ignore those, except for the cool puppets who we gave a pass last time. I really don't feel any urge to own any or take a nap with one. If there are other things you want to work on, we can approach those instead.
no subject
Are you sure, because I didn't mention takin' a nap with any puppets??
no subject
A mention wasn't needed for me to know I do not have the urge to do it.
[He just. Remembers what he felt about Lil Cal]

no subject
conflicted expression while silent is a go??? this is a tough decision??? ]
no subject
It isn't a big deal. I don't want it here.
no subject
I wanna know anyway.
no subject
I don't want to now, for the record. I am cool clinging to my pillow instead of a hellpuppet monstrosity. I just think that's a thing I did.
no subject
he's trying. ]
...Cool. [ ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!??!? ] Uh... [ ... ] ...because of the no other people thing?
no subject
[Dirk doesn't either.]
That'd make sense. It was probably like those messed up Harlow monkey experiments, where the baby monkeys would cling to anything soft for the slightest approximation of affection. From the impression I get, I was likely willing to find comfort in whatever I could.
no subject
[ FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay forget the horrified look about the puppet dave's just looking utterly horrified he fucked up there and dirk doesn't even know how?
he meant roxy but he said mom ]
