It Is My Regrettable Duty To Inform You That The Count Of Those Present On This Plane No Longer Includes The Following
Jake English
Feferi Peixes
Roxy Lalonde
Rose Lalonde
And Karkat Vantas

There Are Others Missing Also But I Havent Identified Them
Just That The Number Of Familiar Threads Are Fewer In Number
It Seems As Though Some Sort Of Mass Exodus Was Accomplished While We Slept Last Night
And We Are The Ones Left Behind In Its Aftermath

I Wonder If We Havent Offended Her In Some Way

Daves Great
Im Fond Of Dave
But Sometimes You Need Someone Who Isnt Dave
And Dirk Has A Very Different Disposition To Him So He Could Be Just That Person

[dupable]

yeah exactly!
but oh man...
you don't think it'd be weird, do you?
hanging out with dirk.

[glowsferatu]

Why Should It Be
Havent You Hung Out With Roxy And Jake Already
If Jake Is Jades Grandfather Wouldnt That Have Made Him Your Own Forebear As Well

[dupable]

yeah, but i guess it is kind of different with them because they are both really friendly and chatty.

[glowsferatu]

So Maybe He Just Takes A Little More Effort
I Think It Would Be Weirder To Share A Hive With Someone You Dont Really Know That Well

[dupable]

yeah...
i am gonna be honest here, that has been pretty weird too.

[glowsferatu]

I Can Understand That
Honestly When We First Moved To Our Current Location I Hadnt Known The Weasleys In The Least
I Suppose Aradia Maybe Had But Once She Was Gone And Returned In A New Iteration That Was No Longer The Case

There Was Only One Option After That
Youll Just Have To Get To Know Them Better

[dupable]

i guess you are right about that.
i just wonder if there is anyone around here who could maybe tell me a little bit more about him so i could actually... you know relate to him!
everything i know about him is what i know about dave's big brother and i have to be honest with you, dirk seems a lot cooler than the way dave described his bro.

[glowsferatu]

You Know If I Had To Guess
I Would Tell You That The Person Best Equipped To Inform You About Dirk
Would Be The Boy Himself

[dupable]

yeah, but isn't that kind of weird to ask at this point?

[glowsferatu]

Just Outright Asking Him Sure
But There Are Better Ways To Approach It
How Would You Get To Know Anyone Else
Do You Consult With Their Close Acquaintances To Advise Your Approach There As Well Before Making First Contact
Because Thats Actually Kind Of Weird
Though I Can Sympathize With The Impulse A Little

[dupable]

uhm no mostly they kind of come to me and we just start talking?
i mean, that is how i met jade, and i kind of met dave and rose through her.
and most of the trolls i knew back home started talking to me first so that was how i got to know you guys.

[glowsferatu]

The Second Time
Wait Third Maybe
Okay The First Time Since Our Respective Arrivals Here That We Held A Conversation It Was You Who Initiated It
Or Maybe I Was Talking To Jade While You Were Also There
I Dont Know Forget That Example
The Point I Meant To Make Is That You Arent A Complete Social Idiot
Youre Perfectly Capable Of Beginning A Conversation With Someone Else And Possibly Forming The Bonds Of Friendship Through That
All It Requires Is A Beginning
Or What Do You Want Me To Talk To Him For You
Despite The Fact That Youre The One Who Shares A Hive With Him

[dupable]

no don't do that!
that'd be weird.
i guess i just feel kind of nervous about it, because the two of us HAVE lived together for this long and haven't really become buddies.
so i am thinking maybe it is my fault and i did something wrong?
or maybe he is just that kind of guy and it isn't really my fault at all, which wouldn't be so bad if that was actually the case.

[glowsferatu]

Or It Could Be Both
But If It Makes You Feel Better The Impression Ive Been Given Is That Yes He Is Sort Of Just That Kind Of Guy

[dupable]

i am not sure if that makes me feel better or not.
but ok, thanks for the advice, kanaya!
i will see about figuring out the weird enigma that is dirk strider.

[glowsferatu]

Sure Thing
And Good Luck John
Be On Your Best Behavior

[dupable]

will do!
thanks, kanaya.
