... This isn't my house.  I don't even recognize this place.

What's going on here?  Lloyd?  Kratos?  Anna?  Any of you here?  Hello?

[OOC:  Why, oh why did we not yet have a Dirk?  Aside from the issue of finding icons, I mean.  Anyway, hey, it's Lloyd's adoptive dad!  He's a bit AU, 'cause Anna and Kratos made it to his place in time in his version

[OMG DIRK! Here, have a suspicious looking Colette...with a suspicious male Emil-like voice]

...you're...looking for Lloyd?

[keeptothevows]

Hi there, Colette. You sound a bit odd, are you sick?

[Concerned Dirk walks up to place a hand on "her" forehead.]

Hmmm... You're not feverish... so, where are we? And did you say Lloyd was around?

[ratatoskwrath]

...? u-uh yea...I guess you can say that. [Mustnotlethimfindout] I-It's a long story.

And...I-I don't really know what exactly to say about this place...other then...a place where people...gather...? [frowns]

I-I thought you might answer me that question about Lloyd...he's been here...and then not h-here...

[keeptothevows]

Woah, woah, slow down Colette. You're not making any sense.

[Dirk's voice is calming and gentle, and he places a hand on "Colette's" shoulder.] Now then, let's start from the beginning, alright? First off, what do you mean people "gather"? And what's this about Lloyd being here and then not here?

[tiny_swordsman]

Dad! [have a tiny Lloyd going to cling D:]

[keeptothevows]

Ah, Lloyd! There you are, m'boy. [Big hug for his adoptive son, Dirk's used to Lloyd calling both him and Kratos "dad".]

So then, where are we?

[tiny_swordsman]

[good, you won't break the poor kid's mind just yet!]

Um, it's a big place with lots of copies of people! There's lots of me but none of you...

[keeptothevows]

Lots of you but none of me? Well that's no good, who's going to keep you out of trouble? [Big grin goes here.]

So, what about your mom and your other dad? Are they here too?

[keeptothevows]

... Wow, they were right about there being more than one of you. I hope this world can take it.

Well, since your mom and other dad have been living with me for the past... my, it's been about twelve years now... Anyway, I figured they might be around here if I was.

But enough of that. Come give your old man a hug! [Opens his arms for Lloyd.]

[keeptothevows]

[Hugs Lloyd for a bit, then steps back.] Ah, that felt good. Now, what was it you were saying, Lloyd?

[humanzoan]

...Hi Dirk.

[keeptothevows]

... Sorry lad, do I know you?

[humanzoan]

It's Noishe ♥...I kinda' evolved.

[keeptothevows]

Noishe? You're kiddin me!

[Walks up and blinks at him, kind of unsure whether to give him a hug or an ear scratch.]

[twin_swords]

*Take*

*Double take*

D-Dad!!

[keeptothevows]

Well that makes three of you so far. Come here, Lloyd m'boy!

[twin_swords]

*Gives him a hug, because - hey, he's still Daddy Dirk, isn't he?*

Yeah, it's a bit strange at first, but you get used to it. I'm surprised you're the first one here!

[keeptothevows]

[Gives him a squeeze.] Guess this place likes you more than me. I'm prob'ly not... interesting enough. [Wry grin.]
