DIRK: Yo, Windsock. 03:15:42
JOHN: that's me! 03:16:10
DIRK: You mind if I ask a few questions? 03:18:24
JOHN: not at all! 03:18:39
DIRK: Sweet. 03:18:50
DIRK: Speaking overall, how are you doing in Dreambubbles? 03:19:16
DIRK: Enjoying yourself, walking down memory lane, grappling with existential terror now and again... 03:19:44
JOHN: what? 03:20:02
DIRK: I'd just like to hear about your experiences out here, if you wanna share. 03:20:12
DIRK: Conducting something of a census. 03:20:15
JOHN: what's with the emphasis on Dreambubbles, and not just saying the dreambubbles? 03:20:22
JOHN: you're treating it like it's facebook. 03:20:30
JOHN: who hired you? 03:20:31
DIRK: John. 03:20:39
DIRK: Please. 03:20:41
DIRK: It's The Facebook. 03:20:44
JOHN: land sakes alive. 03:20:50
JOHN: alright. 03:20:54
JOHN: i'm having a grand old dreamy time out here. 03:21:01
JOHN: i should sleep more often. 03:21:06
DIRK: Here, here. 03:22:24
DIRK: Second question. 03:22:27
DIRK: How would you describe your level of interest in weird plot shit? 03:22:46
JOHN: hmmm. 03:22:57
JOHN: it's gonna sound low to you, but 4/10 on the interest scale is actually above average. 03:23:39
JOHN: trust me. 03:23:45
JOHN: it's enough investment if you need me for something. 03:23:54
JOHN: the numbers would be higher overall if i weren't depressed. it's not that weird plot shit isn't inherently interesting. i'm just being honest. 03:24:27
JOHN: i hate when the glare hits your dumb anime shades just right and i can see my reflection. 03:24:47
JOHN: sorry that was off topic. 03:24:55
DIRK: [ He angles his head in a deliberate attempt to flash John his own visage. It was pointed out and now it has to happen on purpose. ] 03:26:31
DIRK: Did the dumb anime shades get you. 03:26:50
DIRK: Or is the right angle more like [ Head: Turn ] that? 03:27:11
DIRK: All things considered, though 4/10 is actually pretty up there. 03:27:46
JOHN: [Grimacing at said visage as almost to the point that it's unfamiliar to him.] 03:27:53
JOHN: glad you agree. 03:27:55
DIRK: I won't lay down too much weird plot shit in case you'd rather not get caught up in anything that might further overwhelm you, but I'm trying to bring some old friends together. 03:30:03
JOHN: oh! 03:30:20
JOHN: this is now a 6/10. 03:30:29
JOHN: just for those last 3 words. 03:30:35
DIRK: Granted, the present party is myself and my pre-scratch alt self, so we may not be the best company. But I've reached out to RoLal, Dave, and Karkat— they should be around eventually. 03:30:51
DIRK: You wanna hang out? 03:30:55
JOHN: i do! 03:31:36
JOHN: if you'd have me. 03:31:40
JOHN: there are alotta jegberts around here. you sure you like this one? 03:31:47
DIRK: You just referred to yourself as JEgbert. 03:32:38
DIRK: Of fucking course, man. 03:32:42
JOHN: awesome. 03:33:05
JOHN: it's not The Facebook btw. 03:33:22
DIRK: It is. 03:33:49
DIRK: It is The Facebook. 03:33:54
DIRK: Here. Catch. 03:34:06
DIRK: [ From the pocket of his pantaloons, a little marble is retrieved. ] 03:34:57
DIRK: [ TOSS. ] 03:35:07
DIRK: Don't eat it. 03:35:10
DIRK: It's not candy. 03:35:13
DIRK: I mean, it might be, but we haven't figured it out yet. 03:35:23
JOHN: [He catches it between his index and his middle finger and smirks like a cool anime boy.] 03:35:47
JOHN: yes sir mr droderick strider sir. 03:35:51
DIRK: [ It's a gesture and response deserving of an amused snort. ] 03:36:45
JOHN: [Immediately distracted playing with it like a fidget toy.] 03:36:49
JOHN: [Doing tricks on the breeze.] 03:36:58
DIRK: Focus on the memories in it to join our bubble, walk around with it in your pocket until you find us, or go to sleep with it in your hand. That's the running shortlist of how to use these things. 03:37:38
