It...seemed like a good idea at the time.
[So after getting the "Where is this, who are you, what is going on?" out of his system, Dirk Strider was purposefully and boldly exploring Mac Anu and was...kind of bemused by the fact that the city wasn't done up in purple and black.
...just saying.
He had ended up at the harbor and there he paused in his wan- purposeful exploring, as...you know what's incredibly distracting? Actually only having one self (at least for the time being) that he was aware of. Also the clothes. Also the fact that he still had no idea what the hell was going on, and, more importantly, what was happening with Roxy.
There was a certain irony in him spacing out just as badly as he did when he had multiple selves to juggle, one which was lost on the guy as he was spacing out, brooding.]
...
[Yeah, this was getting him nowhere. (And shit, the lack of purple really was throwing him off.) That was when he shook his head slightly, turned to the nearest person, and said:]
Hey.
[So verbose.]

[Whatever, Dirk, it's obvious that you can't look on the bright side of life, gawsh! Jake doesn't necessarily care since it means finally playing a fucking game with his friends.
Oh, the wonders of infinite ammo. It's a good chance to try out that skill thing he has! Don't think he didn't notice it when he was looking at his own stat page.]
Thorn Shot!

Pardon me, it was spur of the moment! If you're going to be distracted by your chortling, I may be tempted to smack you over the head with this thing!
[He's not yet sure if it'll be the blade part he'll be smacking with.]
no subject
Man, I'm just saying that it's kind of distracting. That's all. It ain't nothing to get too worked up about. And hey. I'll shout 'smuppet ass' a few times while I wave this sword if it'll make you feel better.
no subject
[Jake is never going to hear the end of this, is he?]
no subject
Dude, I'm working on it. In fact, I'm actually kinda busy over here, all focused on killing these things and everything. Or at least I was before I got my attention diverted by someone I know. [And oddly, in a way, the multitasking makes him feel better. Slash slash stabbity is slashed a bit but in one of those minor ways, tis only a flesh wound, a graze, kerstab back.]
no subject
Oh, and here I thought you were the king of multitasking. I stand corrected on that assumption.
[Okay, SP takes a BITCHING LONG TIME to regenerate at this level, which sucks since he doesn't have much to begin with. Whatever, just going to shoot at the fuckers.
Oh, score, first critical hit ever, and it's enough to take one of them down!]
no subject
No, my responder had a point about that. I've been trying to juggle too much bullshit lately and kept on getting distracted because of it.
no subject
[Because seriously the last thing he wants to happen is Dirk getting killed. That kind of ruins the whole excursion and puts a hefty damper on his mood.]
no subject
Yeah, I can talk and fight. I mean, what, it's just you, me, and these two guys. That's nothing. [Okay, fine, let's take out one more so it's not 27 tags on a level one grunt.]
no subject
[This is what happens when two talkative, lonely teenagers get together for an adventure. He takes down the other one with another Thorn Shot, since his SP has recovered enough to use it.
The room they're coming up to has two hallways they can meander down.]
Alright, what do you think? North or east?
no subject
[This next part is said almost absently.] I thought about heading north back home...to see Rox, I mean, but with everything going on it was impossible.
no subject
How were you planning on visiting her? [He's just curious about that.]

Dude, I got Brobot to you in the first place, didn't I?
omg for a second I lost where Jake's account on Juggler was.
SPOILERS: DW's trolling you.
sob not again
[Well, this room has only one way to go, but there is another group of monsters here. Luckily, it doesn't seem that they realize the two are here.]
Shh, no words.
With a quick glance to make sure Jake wasn't asleep or whatever, you know, ready for action, has his gun in hand, isn't staring at the ceiling, he hefts his sword which isn't is his unbreakable katana but he's growing fond of anyway. Step, swing, slash-
(Because what was he supposed to say to that? Thanks? It's fun talking to you too? fdjkls? He's a goddamn Strider.)]
no subject
Jake's starting to get used to the more bulky bayonet. The fact that it doesn't have a kickback is really weird, too. Whatever, he just aims and shoots...and tries not to hit Dirk, even if it's tempting sometimes.]
start;
So yes. He slashes, blocking a clumsy lunge as best as he could from a goblin and retaliating with a counter of his own and he's deeply aware that there's one thing that he could do, but god damn if he's going to shout his attack.
...from behind one of the three goblins looms and...]
no subject
The Prince is dead.
You lost all heart.]
finish;
So what do you think's going to happen with the bunny?
no subject
Jake is indeed looking after Dirk's back. Making sure the guy doesn't die is the least he can do after years of friendship.]
In all honesty? I'm not really sure. I just know that I make it in time to get it delivered on John's birthday. Whatever happens afterward I can't say.
[All that hard work gets blown up in a green sun, but hey! Spoilers!]

If we make AC next month using this post I will laugh.
lmfao I can't use this thread again, so gl with that. XD
God damn, we've been spammy. It's like a waste of comments.
It's so not a waste of comments. It's the best way of using them.
I don't know about you, but god damn this is probably going to be one of my longest threads ever.
lol I'm used to epically long threads like this in my musebox.
Usually someone lost interest at this point for me.
Good thing I'm plenty interested, then. :D
Guess s- /distracted by a butterfly

Also, keywords.

Beautiful. I'm still looking for the coveted highfive + SHENANIGANS icon. I'll keep you posted.
Yes good. I'll look forward to this.

Why did I use this icon? Because I can.
If we're going to use icons just for the sake of using them...
omg I love that icon.
