Chapter Text
Your name is Dave Strider, and you are currently debating with your best friend John Egbert about his favorite movie. Yeah you know arguing with your friend about movies is a little bit weird after barely escaping from a fucking puppet filled apartment with your life only three months prior but you're just that cool. Cool is your middle name you know, David Cool Elizabeth Strider, that's your full name. Anyways you glance back at your screen and continue your conversation with John
EB: Come on Dave we've talked about this a lot!
EB: Con Air is the best!
TG: yeah and i'm fucking speaking with president obama
TG: which would be awesome if it was true
TG: but guess what it's not
TG: sure I can accept that you like nick cage but really, con fucking air
EB: Con Air was Nick Cage's best film!
TG: come on dude
TG: weve talked about this like 100 times
TG: which is kind of a lot
EB: Only you and Dirk say Con Air sucks
EB: That means because of democracy Con Air wins!

When you hear Dirk's voice you flinch and tense up before you calm down, you quickly end the conversation with John and turn off your computer. You turn around and see him behind you. You should ask what he wants.
Dave: What's up bro?
Dirk: I have some good news
Dave: You set up a meeting with President Obama?
Dirk: I wish, but no, you're going to go to a school in a week
You immediately sit up, this was not the news you were expecting, you were expecting something like him ordering a pizza. you mean you knew you were going to be going to school soon but you didn't expect it right now, well not right now, in a week. You're beginning to think Dirk's starting a habit about setting up important life shit without discussing it with you, first, it was the escape and then it was therapy and now it's school.
Dave: What the fuck bro? Why didn't you tell me about this sooner
Dirk: Chill, I've been busy with some shit so I forgot to tell you. We're going to buy you some stuff in a few days
Dave: Alright I'm chill dude, cool as a cucumber as always
Dirk: Sick
Dirk gives a thumbs up and walks away shutting your door. You get back on your computer and decide to message Jade.

TG: god damn it jade
Well then, you guess that conversation ended, whatever it's fine. You stretch before getting up to send Jake's message to Dirk. You creak open the door and go out to look for Dirk, he's probably in his new room. You suppose it's not really all that new now, you've lived in this apartment for almost three months, and you still aren't used to it. While you're glad you escaped from Bro you miss some stuff about your old apartment. You miss the chattering of crows in your room, and you miss the layout you were used to. While you don't exactly miss Bro you certainly miss your apartment. You knock on the door to Dirk's room, a habit you've been trying to pick up ever since you left. The door opens and Dirk is standing there, holding what appears to be a bundle of wires.
Dirks: What's up Dave?
Dave: I got a message for you from Jake
Dirk tenses for a second, you try to read his expression and he seems frustrated? You guess him and Jake had a fight or something, knowing Jake it was probably less of a fight and more of Jake being a dumbass again.
Dirk: Cool, what is it.
Yeah definitely Jake being a dumbass.
Dave: Jake says hi and to message him apparently
Dirk mumbles something and you definitely catch "English" in there.
Dirk: Thanks for passing his message.
You back up as Dirk closes the door, you walk back to your room and get on your computer again. You decide you might as well play some video games. You hop on some shitty flash game website and play some games for a few hours, you check the clock and somehow like magic, it's 3 am, did you really play flash games for four hours? Well shit, you should probably go to bed, its not like you really care about sleep but you try to maintain something resembling a sleep schedule so you can message your friends. You hop on your bed and toss some sheets on your self letting your mind drift to sleep. As you are nearly asleep you begin to hear a voice which isn't yours start to take over your thoughts
