Summary
It was pretty common knowledge around the mortals that you had to be wary of tradespeople. Not that they were all malicious or anything, but when you lived next door to beings with that much power, it paid to be careful.
The problem is Dave Strider is not very careful.

Summary
A President and a comedian-turned-Rebellion-leader walk into a bar. Well, not a bar, but it's the President's office. And the President is the only one doing any walking in. It's unclear what the Rebellion leader is actually doing there or how he got in, but if this is a specific joke, there better be one hell of a punchline.

Summary
Across the room, Dirk Strider stares you down. You get the feeling, if he weren’t wearing his dumb triangle shades, the two of you would be making some seriously intense and uncomfortable eye contact. It’s nearly impossible to look away. He’s posted against the wall, nursing a can of orange soda, not talking to anyone. Just like you.
Except you’re drinking hooch, not gross Fanta.
(Or, John Egbert is clueless and Dirk Strider doesn't have a clue.)

You mean to open your mouth to refuse.
You really do.
“... Fine. Just don’t... don’t expect anything from me. I don’t have anything left to give. Not to you, not to anyone. Not even to myself. I’m... I’m not going be considerate of you.” You watch closely as something in Dirk’s expression shifts and relaxes, and he nods.
“That’s more than fine by me,” and you feel yourself exhale. You didn’t know you were holding your breath.
