1st record | April 30th; Video

[The video switches on to show two color coded teens, one dressed in all red with a cape and awesome shades (with two bottles of apple juice, one in his hand and the other waiting at his side) and the other in all blue with a ridiculously long hood. The red one seems somewhere between totally chill and mildly unnerved while the blue one looks rather pleased and amused.]

Okay we've got a few problems here but the most serious one is someone please tell us we're not the only ones who can see that the sun is looking back at us. Is that like a sun or a giant rock with teeth waiting to eat us like wow that planet sure looks tasty better not eat the middle its too spicy but the north would be an awesome icy snack.

It's like big brother is watching you all the time. Or big sister. Is the sun a girl or a boy? Does anyone know?

[Dave stops to just stare at John for a moment, just giving him an 'are you fucking serious?' look.]

Dude, it's a rock.

But it has a face!

Male or female would imply it has reproductive parts and that's something I'd really rather not think of thanks. It's pretty creepy as is.

[John pauses with a thoughtful look.]

I wonder if the moon has a face. Maybe one is a boy and one is a girl and asteroids are their babies. I wonder if the asteroids have faces?

Wow. Ok, yeah. We're moving onto more important matters now, topic over.

[John rolls his eyes at Dave, he's no fun. He then turns back to the camera with an intrigued look on his face.]

What did that guy mean, I turn into a weapon? How can you turn into a weapon? I'm a human!

[Dave looks like he could care less, though there's a hint of curiosity there as he takes a drink of his juice.]

Yeah, that's pretty much all we need to know since the creepy dude filled us in on the other shit. I've got my AJ now, I'm good.

Comments

[beatdownremix]

looks like thats what ill be doing then
its never been my thing to sit and plan or wait
i prefer to be right in front of the fan when the shit impacts
more exciting that way but a bitch to wash off later

[dialogical]

Might I suggest intercepting shit before it reaches any fans?
That might go over better for your wardrobe and also everyone else in the room.

[beatdownremix]

the prospect will be taken into consideration but cant make any promises on that front
besides theres already too much shit all over my wardrobe
its a lost cause as is
like not even the most expensive dry cleaner could get the stench off now

[dialogical]

Do you still wear the red pjs?

[beatdownremix]

for right now
im probably getting something new once i get some cash to burn
chill for a meteor but not exactly desert material

[dialogical]

Probably a good plan.
Overheating was never an issue until I was organic, but now it's a constant threat.
On the subject of shit control, though, perhaps once you have a weapon we could take on a few missions together.
I can handle the preventing of shit/fan collisions, since it seems that's more my speed than yours.

[beatdownremix]

once youve strifed on a rooftop in the middle of texas summer heat and been thrown down a flight of stairs in the process and had to climb back up just to get your ass handed to you and left in the sun for like twenty fucking minutes until you could crawl your ass back to the stairs you tend to not worry about overheating as much
its kind of not really a thing thats a problem any longer
and yeah that sounds cool

[dialogical]

Who was delivering your ass on a sun warmed platter in this scenario?
AU me?

[beatdownremix]

yeah
every god damned day
several times a day sometimes

[dialogical]

Shit.
If that isn't fucking adorable.
DS, meaning other AU me, not any other persons in possession of those particular initials, and I never met our bro.
All rooftop ninja battles were purely masturbatory.

[beatdownremix]

yeah i know
we heard about the clusterfuck time shit you guys were thrown into
if we can ever get our hands on some shitty swords maybe the three of us could have it out on a roof somewhere around here

[dialogical]

Hell yes.
CC is in possession of an excellent roof.
Though there is a 96.45% chance you will resoundingly kick my ass.
Maybe we can at least work in some fantasy fulfillment.

[beatdownremix]

yeah i know thats why i got a room on the top floor here
and i might go easy on you seeing as the whole not used to a human body thing gives you a handicap right now

[dialogical]

Nah.
Did your bro ever go easy on you?
Also. What room are you in? It seems Striders naturally flock to the highest available nesting grounds.

[beatdownremix]

i got c and john took d
and thats cause the highest is always the best

[dialogical]

DS is in L and I'm in H.
Shit, this is going to make slumber parties a lot easier.

[beatdownremix]

most ironic slumber parties ever
hey you got any word on lalonde

[dialogical]

Yes, of course.
Completely ironic and with zero sincerity.

And Rose, your version, is here.
Though if my grasp of your timeline is correct, she is from several years before you on your timeline.

[beatdownremix]

yeah ive heard id have to bring her up to date just wanted to know if shes been heard from
like hows she doing here
did you talk to her

[dialogical]

I haven't spoken to her since my arrival.
She seems understandably jaded by the fact that people from our universes seem to frequently arrive and disappear, and also that she is always behind them, experientially.
But otherwise fine.

[beatdownremix]

god dammit
i guess thats understandable
its probably time for a brosis jam with ice cream and shit when i see her
as crappy as i am at them sounds like she needs it

[dialogical]

Fuck.
Yes. Do that.
Take pictures.

[beatdownremix]

fuck that reminds me i dont have my camera
im gonna have to buy a new one first order of business when i get a paycheck
theres all kinds of shit to take pics of around here too
probably gonna need a new darkroom while im at it

[dialogical]

Oh yes this whole currency business.
Still kinda surreal.
But I understand on top of the boon of getting a soul to feed your weapon, the missions pay well enough as well.

[beatdownremix]

yeah thinking of that for on the side but like im gonna need a real job too
my frivolous bullshit wont pay for itself
