Dave stands in the middle of the room, decked out in an incredibly snazzy tuxedo, doing his best not to look uncomfortable as he waits for the guests to arrive. Normally he'd have no problem with the ridiculous over-the-topness of the party - it's ironic as all fuck - but he's still suffering slight aftereffects of the psychedelic weekend and all these visual stimuli are kind of giving him a headache.

Vriska is behaving. Meaning that she's not making snide comments about the decor, she isn't sulking about other people doing something nice for her moirail, she isn't making plans to convince John that Marj is the Batterwitch aaaaaaaand she has (so far) resisted the urge to squash all the Sollux/Terezi/Eridan cupcakes into sweet cakey mush.

Not that doing any of these things has crossed her mind. At all.

"So. It's party tradition for at least one of us to do something hideously stupid, right? Dibs on it not being me this time."

Dave is so very proud of his 'rail. Seriously.

"At least there isn't any booze here, so we should be save from drunken antics. And I'm not planning on doing anything hideous or stupid, so maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a pass on it this time?"

"We'd need a lot of luck for that with our track record." Vriska grins suddenly - that grin. The one that usually means trouble. "Think I should gank it from all your party guests? That way they'll all be unlucky and way too distracted by that to notice if we do do something stupid."

That was, of course, a joke.

Probably.

"Speaking of other guests. Uh. Who else is planning on showing?" Keeping this light. Aww yeah. "Just asking. Out of alien interest. Yeah!"

"Yeah, that sounds like an awesome plan that could never backfire horribly."

His tone's joking as well, but also slightly distracted. He's looking at Jade and pink Dave and frowning. Wow, they look really close.

"Uh, well, people I know. Most everyone from our universes, except for the worst douchebags, and a couple of people I've met on the station."

"The worst douchebags aren't coming? Wow, Dave. That's pretty cold! They aaaaaaaare your brothers. Jegus."

HA HA. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE SHE AVOIDED MENTIONING SOLLUX. LAUGH.

She attempts to follow Dave's gaze - incredibly unsubtly, of course. After a few back-and-forth looks, she frowns too. "Huh. Great to see that Pantsless decided to wear pants, huh? Today must be special."

"Ha ha. Real funny."

Sorry, he's too focused on Pantsless right now to notice the hilarious Sollux thing. Or anything else. He's holding Jade's arm, dammit.

"Hm."

Vriska sighs patiently. Patiently by her standards, anyway, which is to say not very patiently at all.

She doesn't get the Jade thing. Jade is boring. But Dave likes her, and Dave is her moirail! That and Pantsless is a total fucking douchebag who deserves a completely platonic punch in his stupid pink face.

"Want me to go shank him?" She's joking, of course. Of course. "Or we could go over and say hi! Create a distaction. All that stuff. Not that you need to or anything. They're obviously just friends. Duh. Stop worrying. Eat some cake. Jegus."

Dave considers these options for a second.

"Yeah," he says then, "you're right. I'll let them do their friend thing. Time for some cake."

And he whirls around and heads for the cake, looking so very calm and casual and not worried at all.

(Those things were not true. He is so worried.)

Hmmm. Meddling time.

Meaning moirail time, obviously.

Okay no it's totally just meddling time.

"Don't get jealous, Dave, it's not cool. Not to mention tooooooootally unfounded!" She picks up a troll cupcake as she follows on, examining it briefly before hurling it to one side. Eww. Karkat flavour. "How's that, uh. Whole thing going, anyway? Any more smoochings since your shipdate?"

"I'm not jealous."

Just very grumpy for reasons that have nothing to do with stupid pink-haired pantsless losers who don't even know anything about time travel and WHAT DOES JADE SEE IN HIM ANYWAY.

He cuts the cake, glares at the figurine of himself, and then snatches the little plaque onto his plate along with the cake piece. He's not jealous. He's the normal one. Pink Dave should be the jealous one.

Of course, there's the thing where... "Well, I don't know if Jade still believes that I don't bang robots. That's kind of put a damper on any smoochings."

"What? Everybody knows you don't bang robots. That's stupid."

People would hear the explosions from miles away, Jegus. Vriska knows; she used to be Equius' neighbour. The banging was pretty much constant.

"You know what you need to do?" She picks up another trollcake - Sollux - and begins busily gouging out its eyes. All in the name of accuracy, naturally. "You need to think up a biiiiiiiig gesture to show her how much you care! Care about her, that is. And not about filling robopails."

He munches on cake thoughtfully. Damn, this is good.

"Yeah, you may have a point. Any ideas what that gesture could be? I mean, I already took her on a date on a flying ship. Kind of hard to top that right off the bat."

"Well. Har-- Jade might have let something slip! But I'm totally sworn to secrecy because she wants it to be your idea."

The picture of innocence, Vriska puts down the mutilated Solluxcake and grabs another one, repeating the same process of de-eye-ification. "So I'm just going to stand here not telling you about it while I take the shades off these stupid lispy cupcakes. Yeah."

Subtle.

"Huh." Oh, he gets the ~subtle suggestion~ all right. It might actually be a good idea.

"Thanks."

And then Marj showed up, placidly crossing her arms while looming over Vriska's shoulder. Mutilating one Sollux cupcake was fine. Biting him in half- sure, she could see that. That wasn't wasteful, at least.

But this...

"Dave, y'wanna explain to me why the Fondue Fork Friend is mutilating my snack food?"
