> Dave: Cut a deal.

[strideways]

[ For once, the video clicks on, instead of the poor network being flooded with obnoxious red text. Dave is lounging in a chair, behind a café table somewhere in Goldenrod, with a bubble tea in one hand. ]

Ladies. Strider needs a favour.

[ Why yes, he's talking to all of you. Or any of you, really. ]

I'm willing to offer a few hours of my time to the first pretty girl to lend me her Fly HM. Dinner, on me, anywhere in Goldenrod.

[ A beat. ]

Dinner on the table, actually. But I'll pay for it.

[ He flashes the briefest of grins, one eyebrow cocking up above his shades — ]

Clock's ticking.

[— and turns the feed off. ]

[private to rose]

but youve got less of a track record

[Riku here looks pretty amused. Mainly because, wow? Trying to get a date like this?

He just shakes his head and smirks.]

Does it really matter who lends it?

[Not that he's offering, and his tone reeks of amusement.]

[strideways]

[ Dave's tone isn't any less dry. ]

Sorry, babe, my gate doesn't swing that way. I can hook you up, though. You like brunettes?

Wasn't looking for a date, but nice try.

[Pff. His doesn't swing that way, either.]

But I guess you've got pretty good incentive for the people who are.

[strideways]

They need a date, I need an HM. It's a business transaction and I'm holding the better end of the deal.

Um... I don't have it, but I think I know a few people who might!

[strideways]

[ Oh, what the fuck, how precious. ]

Yeah? Anyone as pretty as you?

U-Um, I... I think so? Thank you... [akjsdhlfas oh god what do]

If you can't find anyone, I'll try and borrow it for you.

[strideways]

[ Aww. Dave might actually be kind of smiling a little bit maybe. ]

Well, hey, I stick to my word. You bring me that HM, I'll buy you ice cream.

[ This is Dave, assuming that this tiny girlchild is completely self-sufficient, and that there's no one around to think it's weird or creepy of him to buy her ice cream. ]

Dinner?

[ Pinged by food. ]

[strideways]

[ Well, hello. ]

The HM deal's a limited offer, but who knows, maybe I'll have some free time when I get back.

[ex_cashcow493]

Unfortunately, I do not have such an ability. I know others who may in my place if you require it still.

[pianokeys]

Going on an adventure, kiddo? [Have your dearest not-an-owner-of-a-white-van Other Father giving you a big, loving smile. He loves you Dave. From the bottom of his heart. As a son, of course.]

oh god, action

[strideways]

[ Cue instant alarm behind those shades.

What.

The fuck. ]

Uh... yeah... probably.

♥ ohohoho

[pianokeys]

[He places a hand on his shoulder, leans over a little to see his face and scruffs his hair a little.]

Well~, I know you can look after yourself, Dave, you're a brave child.

[VIDEO] if you don't mind me backtagging a-ahaha

[bethehugejerk]

Bribery. Real impressive there, Strider. But I suppose expecting any sense for the romantic from you is about as pointless a gesture as trying to teach Gamzee to play chess.

[Do trolls even have chess? Let's pretend.]

Really? {This is a raised eyebrow. Can you feel her skepticism???}
