Two Knitted Socks

[grimmdark]

A. Phone, filtered to Dave, John and Jade.

As per Jade's suggestion, and after much deliberating about it, I have decided we must have a sleep over.

Not immediately, as you all are surely occupied with the homecoming and shenanigans, but perhaps the week after it, provided you all are properly interested in taking part.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

[Guess who hijacked the phone first?]

We must? Like, are we all gonna break up and die and go makeout with the trolls - which is pretty much equivalent - if this doesn't happen?

A

[grimmdark]

[Oh boy.]

Not if we die, no. That would pose a problem since the chances of being zombified have returned to zero percent as of now.

[nolongeralpha]

[Lets see if she figures it out...?]

Didn't your tentacled savants teach you any necromancy?

[grimmdark]

[Hey, that sounded...different.]

What would you know about it?

[nolongeralpha]

Nothing, 'cause I try not to listen to those guys. They creep me out, okay? They're pretty much intergalactic men in white, windowless vans.

[grimmdark]

...

Davesprite, remove yourself from the premises.

[nolongeralpha]

Wait, what, is this a no-birds-allowed thing? I am sitting on this fucking receiver and there is not a goddamn thing you can do about it.

[grimmdark]

[Lucky you, she doesn't have her wands back.]

Don't test me.

The offer was made for the current alpha Dave, though. I do believe crows are inapt for sleepovers anyway.

[nolongeralpha]

I will test you as much as I like, Lalonde, gonna hand out pop-quizzes like a teacher with a new textbook.

Pssh, you just like him better because he has opposable thumbs. But yeah, I admit I'm probably not gonna be any good for nail-painting and spin-the-fucking-bottle since those are totally the most important things to do.

[grimmdark]

I'm violently shaking in unspeakable fear due to your threats, I kid you not.

I meant to invite him as a way to reinforce whatever unity binds the four of us, as shaky and changing as it is. I have nothing against you, and given you and him are pretty much the same, sans the feathers...well, the differences are more based on your life experience, but alas, that's not that different at this point.

[And where was she going with this?]

[nolongeralpha]

Don't you sass me, young lady, or it's detention for you.

So basically I'm being excluded on the basis of feathers and/or the fact that I spent the past four months in a doomed timeline and fifteen hours in the right one while he's spent more than seventy in the right one? Since obviously that is a lot more critical than the several years we've known each other?

[no idea but she better go somewhere with it soon]

[grimmdark]

I can't fathom how would you accomplish something of that sort.

Yes, and not really. I partially didn't think you would like to attend. You and Dave aren't that different, as I was saying, but I don't think neither of you would enjoy having someone equally cool sharing a room.

[See what she did there?]

You must also understand that even if I'm well prepared to deal with strange occurrences, there being two Daves is still quite something to digest. At any rate, you can come if you think you will enjoy yourself in doing so.

[nolongeralpha]

What, you thought it was like one of those sitcoms where two people hate each other because they remind them of themselves aw hell no we are too cool for cliches like that, when two bros of our coolitude get together it is just like a double-stuffed oreo of coolness, like you made that shit with coolwhip and ice cubes, goddamn, how did you even bake the cookies for that sucker when it was so damn cool in here? The real question is, could you handle that much coolness in one room?

And don't worry about it, one of us is a fucking orange bird, the other one still rocks a body that all the ladies be dyin' for. I am even okay if you call him Alpha Dave and me Davesprite, that is a thing I am cool with now, not to imply I ever was not.

I'll totally be there.

[Well. He seems pretty mollified about it.]

[grimmdark]

My head you probably explode due to all the awesomeness you two would exude when together.

I prefer to call Dave Dave. Or Strider, if we are in the middle of a session.

[Even if he insists there are not such things.]

In that case I will look forward seeing you there, of course. It shall prove to be quite an evening.

[nolongeralpha]

Well, try to keep it together since even if it'd be a relief to get away from you constantly trying to get into my psychological pants, I'm willing to admit I prefer you not to have your head splattered on the walls like a modern artist with no sense of color, which is to say, any of them.

Awesome. Prepare to be floored by the double D's of Dave and Dave, more awesome than any of your three can handle. We'll try to moderate our levels.
