> Dave: Cut a deal.

[ 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]

so when i said ill pay for it i obviously didnt mean me
also
how do you feel about ghost hunting

well theres also a reason this question isnt going to john instead of you
that motherfucker would probably commune with the ghosts and sic them on me
or some shit
not that im positive you cant do that
but youve got less of a track record
and youre prettier to look at

[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.]

yeah there will be a brodate
because i love him
it just wont involve ghosts
and dont be
its not flattery
im just not gay

[ 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.

implying that my subconscious was flattering you
or that my subconscious is homo
because ones a little more likely than the other

once i teach tock fly we can swing up there in a day or two easy i bet
spend a few days or a week

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

okay first of all
youre hotter than i am gay
trust me
i wasnt gonna mince words on that one

and secondly
i am outright fucking offended that you have any doubts
this plan is watertight
fireproof
and insured against earthquakes
ground starts shaking and everyone in the strider foolproof plan center just goes about their fucking business like aint nothin goin on
the fancy aquarium in the lobby doesnt spill a damn drop
lights dont even flicker
while folks outside are running amok because it turns out fucking godzilla is causing the cracks in the pavement and the building collapses
and that motherfucker shows up and takes one look at this plan and goes
oh shit
guess id better move on
not wasting my beastly time on this endeavor
its obviously rock fucking solid
and hauls his ass back to tokyo to fight a giant moth or some shit

[[Yeah, no comment on that first part.]]

[ See what happens when you make your brother choose between thinking you're hot and being gay? ]

a wise choice lalonde
a very wise choice

[[It's amusing that he'd admit to things like that though. She just has no comment because it would likely be some form of denial, and doesn't really want to have that conversation again.]]

so not even touching that statement lalonde
you make it too easy

All my choices are wise, Strider.
for real???
come on

trust me youll make plenty of unwise choices before youre through
though i guess i cant say whether youll regret them or not

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

[ Oh, what the fuck, how precious. ]

Yeah? Anyone as pretty as you?

time shenanigans
just trust me
