Since the AM thing, moments of solitude had become extremely rare for Davesprite. Either Vriska or Jade (mostly Vriska) was always watching him, and while he appreciated the concern, sometimes a guy just needed some alone time.

Just this once, he'd managed to sneak away. It was sure to be only a short escape, and probably would result in Vriska keeping an even closer eye on him, but for now he was not worrying about that, just enjoying flying.

Until he saw the storm cloud, at least.

For a moment, he inspected it from a distance. The thing was obviously not natural, and there was something familiar about it that he couldn't place.

Deciding to investigate further, he flew closer.

Strider senses tingling.

That unmistakable combination of shitty eyewear and orange feathers would've been impossible for Rose to miss. She briefly tilted her umbrella so she could look upwards. He was pretty high up in the air, it didn't look like he'd noticed her yet. She let out a low sigh as she got a good look at him. She had no illusions that he had died at Jack's hand or anything like that. Crystal ball and everything. He looked significantly worse in person though.

She spared only another second to think about that before she started wondering just what he was doing here. She had been assured that she was not currently residing in a dream bubble, which could only mean he'd fallen victim to the same thing as her.

She briefly considered calling out to him, but that didn't seem appropriate, and her...frustrating pseudo-conversation with John was still quite fresh in her mind. So, she did the next best thing.

Unless Dave had his head up, he'd be beaned in the nose by a ball of yarn a couple seconds later.

Lalonde senses tingling NOPE.

Dave did not, in fact, have his head up, and the ball caught him completely by surprise. He managed to catch it, though, and stared at it dumbly for a moment.

Tentacley cloud of grimdarkness + purple yarn =

Oh.

Time to flap around wildly in all directions in an attempt to locate ectosibling? Hells yes.

She wouldn't be that hard to find, but she didn't make herself anymore obvious than she was at first. Watching him flap around like that was sort of amusing, in its way. The lack of a wing didn't seem to slow him down any, at least. Weird. Maybe it was just a sprite thing.

Either way, when she got tired of it, she raised up one of her Thorns. A loud spark came from it, just enough to get his attention.

That done, she captchalogued the thorn and waved to him.

Actually, he noticed her just a split second before she shot out the spark. Important distinctions!

He flew down to her, raising an eyebrow when he saw her new appearance, but not commenting on it.

"Sup, Lalonde."

"Nyurb gu'ilg," she said as congenially as possible, matching Dave's indifference in a way only she could.

Of course, she doubted he'd be able to understand her. Or maybe he would. He had became a game construct, after all, if she would expect anyone to understand her now, it'd probably be him.

Emotional facades under the guise of the scientific method. The Lalonde way, if ever there was one.
