>Dave: Serenade your bro.

[ Lo, what's this? Another network post? And by none other than Dave Casanova Strider himself.

He turns the 'Gear on to the sight of him standing outside what some might recognize as the Otherhouse in Goldenrod City. He's bending over a guitar case, which is seen in bits and pieces as he shifts the camera around while taking out the guitar. ]

So it's Valentine's Day, right? And since this place is like the Land of Roses and Romantic Blowjobs right now, I figure there's no better time to express my deepest bosom feelings for my best bro. Obviously a gesture this ironic can't go unseen, so I'm immortalizing it on the network.

[ He slips the guitar strap over his head, then backs up, handing the 'Gear to a Pokémon helper. (The cheerful 'Squirtle!' might give away Kanye's identity.) The camera pans from Dave, picking out a few notes, to the window above.

After an experimental array of notes, Dave begins playing. As the song starts, Kanye turns the 'Gear back to him to capture the performance, and when it finishes, returns to the window to catch a final shot of one John Egbert, looking out.

The feed ends to the sound of some bystanders' applause. ]

[ ooc; for action responses, feel free to be one of those bystanders who happened upon this charming little scene, or an Otherhouse resident looking out their own window to see what the chords are about!

tags won't be until tomorrow, though. sorry, guys! ♥ ]

[Clapping bystander here!]

You have a nice singing voice. And a really lucky friend.

Oh, no. [ Mock-demurely. ] I'm the lucky one in this relationship.

[a giggle.]

Have you two known each other for very long?

Since our sandbox days. I wrecked his sandcastle; he threw a stick at me. It was love at first sight.

[Jade happens to return from wandering around the city near the end of Dave's performance. After he's done, she joins the other bystanders in applauding... and then waits to see John's reaction to this lovely serenade.]

[ After the adorable little tissue fiasco and subsequent ironic(?) flirting is finished, Dave turns his attention to his admirers — more specifically Jade. ]

So on a scale of one to Titanic, how mindblowingly romantic was that?

[Oh man, he totally caught her off guard. She doesn't have a movie reference handy. So she goes for the next best thing.]

How romantic do you even have to be just to do something like that?

At least a nine, I'd say. [ He pushes the guitar around behind him. ] Think he'll accept my proposal now?

[~~Uguuuuu~ Dave-kun so romantic u///u~~]

[John is just the luckiest Forevergirl in the world, isn't he? Chin in hands, he leans on the windowsill throughout the entirety of the serenade, starry-eyed.]

[Once the song is over, he claps for all of about two seconds before he is suddenly struck with a REALIZATION! which causes him to disappear from the window entirely.]

[But not for long! Apparently he just had to grab a tissue. So he could throw it at Dave. Because tissues and handkerchiefs are totally the same thing, right? And this is what like...princesses throw at their dashing knights, right?]

[Princess, heir. Same thing really.]

[ Dave's first thought is 'what the fuck is that?' quickly followed by a suspicious 'did he snot on that?' He ducks the tissue as it flutters down and kind of peers at it before determining that it's most likely not used and picking it up. ]

Happy Valentine's Day, babycakes.

[No Dave, he did not snot in it, that wouldn't be romantic at all! A tissue just seemed like a better idea than throwing his boxers. (Which he seriously considered doing for for a good 30 seconds or so).]

Happy Valentine's Day to you too, sugarlips.

[Is clapping very loudly from a doorway in the Otherhouse.]

That was amazing! I didn't know you could sing Dave-san! Or play guitar! Or both at the same time! That's super cool!

Obviously I can sing and play guitar at the same time. These are but a few of my many talents as an ironic future pop-culture icon.

[Slowing down on the clapping still. Eyes still full of wonder.]

I don't think I could do anything like that! Did you write the song as well?

[Originally the Other Father had come out with a little frown, about to ask Dave whether he should be bringing up a subject like blow-jobs at his age (he doesn't like to discipline, but that's an adult's subject, right?).

Upon hearing the music however, he stops in the doorway and forgets about what he was previously going to say, instead listening, happy at how musical his kids are.

He claps when it finishes, joining in with the shower of compliments.]

That's my boy.~

[ Dave's been bringing up subjects like blowjobs since he was a wee lad, Otherdaddy. Just par for the course, nbd.

Dave waves a hand, which turns into a dramatic flourish and mocking bow. Ordinarily, he'd brush off the compliments, but he's feeling receptive today. ]

Not half-bad, right?

[If he knew, he wouldn't be sure how to feel about that. <8(]

Real smoo~th. John's a lucky guy. [He doesn't quite know the term 'bromance' yet, but he understands and sees that there's a close brotherly bond between John and Dave. It's great to see two of his kids so close.]

*Look who just happened to be ~~lost~~ nearby when this scene unfolded.*

Oh my... You have quite the nice voice, Dave-kun... *JUST GONNA ASSUME they eventually got to properly introducing themselves okok--*

[ Oh hey it's that hot chick with the face— I'M SURE HE KNOWS HER NAME BY NOW, just don't expect him to remember it, sob.... ]

Hey, thanks. He seemed to like it, anyway. [ A vague gesture toward John's window. ]

I should hope so~ If someone ever sang to my window like that, I would consider it to be very moving...

[Dear god, he's really singing to John. Vriska would yell out the window, but John seems pretty firmly planted there, so she gets up and heads outside.]

You are such a loser. [She might be smiling though. Damn these feel goods]

[ Dave is about to take off his guitar to put it away when he hears Vriska's voice and turns around, instead, sensing a prime opportunity to mock her fast approaching. ]

Aww, you jelly? I can sing you a song, too, you know.

Jelly? I am not a human condiment, no. [Though she's considering this singing option. Maybe she can blackmail him with it later.]
