> 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

[ 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

time shenanigans
just trust me

sounds like a plan

you could use some work
but youre on your way

yours and every other girls
you could start a facebook group

well just so were clear
i totally got to him first
so if you dont wanna share
you can fight me

[ Oh my god, Rose. You should see your brother's face right now. ]

let me tell you a nursery rhyme lalonde
its one my bro used to tell me when i was just a chill little cat in the crib
went like this

there were three in the bed and only one of them was a chick
so strider said im getting the fuck out of here
later

[[She's tempted to switch to video. She's sure it's spectacular.]]

[ You know he'll take the challenge if she does. ]

okay fine

stupid sexy strider doesnt like the dick
hell do a threesome but only with two chicks
when it comes to cocks theres only one allowed
cause strider policy says four balls is a crowd

there
clear enough

[[Instead of replying right away, she switches instead to video, a grin worn on her lips.]]

Impressive. I almost find myself inspired to attempt a rhyme or two. Do you believe I would be any good at it?

[ Dave obliges by switching, himself, but his expression is skeptical. ]

I hope you can handle nursery rhymes, at least. But baby steps, Lalonde. If you start trying to rap, I'm cutting the feed to spare myself the secondhand embarrassment.

I promise I will not rap until I've had the expert guidance of a professional such as yourself. But I believe I can handle this.

Hickory dickory dock
When it comes to a Strider's cock
There's room for just one
Lest he be outdone
Hickory dickory dock

How was that?

[[Sorry Dave. She couldn't help it.]]

[ Just this face. And about six seconds of utter silence. ]
