Blind!Dave makes an appearance

[blind_knight]

so this is what you do with your time
pick up a kid from a doomed timeline just because he was blinded
i mean i know society seems to have a fucking thing for people with disabilities and powers but come on
i really dont want to deal with whatever youre planning

Blindness? It seems that you've been treading into my thematic motifs a bit.

However, you'll find that impairments ultimately mean little to the machinations of mundanes. They're liable to do as they please regardless of negative impact or protest from the mental peanut gallery.

[blind_knight]

yeah im not going into the gritty details but one of the trolls went apeshit and i got into the line of fire

so im guessing youre the rose from the main timeline?
my senses arent as tuned as terezi but ive misfired on who i have been talking to less lately

[thorny]

That certainly raises more questions than it answers, but I suppose for the sake of politeness I'll save my burning curiosity for another time.

I'd certainly hope so, else I'd have quite a few gripes to lodge at the multiversal complaint department regarding false advertisement. There's been enough cataclysmic events to wade through without the irritation of having been mislabeled.

[blind_knight]

yeah dont worry about it i really just want to get a feel for the situation before divulging classified information from a dead timeline

it would be just like the game though wouldnt it?
like some sort of sick gameshow host

here is your prize
oh shit its a giant phallice screwing you over
you lucky dog you

[thorny]

Of course. I can just imagine the amount of red tape you'd have to wade through in order to be able to unseal those most confidential of files.

While I'd have gone for a metaphor more rife with backstabbing analogy, your choice of phallic imagery to represent the hypothetical betrayal of paradox space is quite interesting.

[blind_knight]

so much red tape
dont get tangled up in that shit
or we might never see you again


i figured you would like a jump start on developing a theory for how my blindness makes me perceive my own wang and other people's nether regions
youre about three term papers behind my rose at least
better pick up the pace

[thorny]

I may be no mistress of the bureaucratic process, but I'd like to think that I've a firm enough grasp on purposefully confusing language to be able to navigate my way through the tedium of forms submitted in triplicate. Whether I'd enjoy it or not, of course, is another matter entirely.

Considering I've been tackling this psychological conundrum for all of five minutes I believe that I'm well on my way to outpacing my better informed alternate. There's nothing like a bit of literal competition with oneself to incite motivation.

[blind_knight]

yeah but you are also dealing with the bureaucracy as run by a time traveler
need that form filled out?
oh i think dave from two years in the future has that one

alright but before you ask
no i have not seen, smelled or tasted what the trolls have under their pants
might sound boring but dave strider is a gentleman and i there has been no point in the timeline where i had enough of it to take a troll out to dinner first

[thorny]

You're hardly difficult to manage, Strider. It doesn't take much wherewithal to shake a fresh bottle of apple juice a few times and wait.

The fact that this is the first thing you feel the need to clarify only opens the door to some pointed questions about what you've been fantasizing about recently. Should I be worried about my dear brother or should I begin collecting material on healthily managing a xenophiliac lifestyle?

[blind_knight]

shit
my one true weakness
you know though if i was a guy into religious study and all that i might point out the whole adam and eve thing

[It was his poor attempt at a comeback but at least he tried.]

its not like im imagining alien wang all the time or anything
i do kind of think that even if were different we are similar enough for relationships to work and all that
just something that came up when you found out i could smell and taste colors thanks to terezi

[unavoidabubbly]

whoa my angstometers going off tha charts rite here
relax davey
im sure youre still awesomesauce
come on lets do a fistbunp right nao
bunp
r u feelin it

[blind_knight]

[Oh hi there ecto-mom]

dont get me wrong im not saying my life sucks just because im fucking blind but i also dont want to deal with some guy sitting at home on his computer jerking me around

[And because Dave was a gentleman he would give this lady the manliest of fistbumps.]

[unavoidabubbly]

whoa that was an epic fist nump
*bump
i totes felt the badasery rollin off me in in waves
like we just sealed a pact of awesomeness
its written in stone now
weve just signed a covnenant
now
were always goin 2 b badass
were the badass
it is us

ok now that ive cheered you up
*tear*
ok
we haevent met OFFICIALY but hi i am rolal
and i knw ur dave
davey dave dave
but wat i did NOT know is that ur blind
unless youre not the u i know

[blind_knight]

didnt you know?
lalondes and striders are always badass

i dont think im the dave you know
the dave who gets to the end of this isnt blind anyway
so kind of stands to reason the the majority of daves arent running around licking and smelling things to see them

[unavoidabubbly]

ya all this hawtness cant be contained in one body or wed hotsplode dude
so its perfect that weve got clan lalonde and clan strider
dominating tha secne of totes hotties

idk davey u can lick and smell me anytiem
i mean
lol wat oops

[blind_knight]

[Well way to break his brain Roxy, it takes him a little while to recover from that one.]

yeah i think i will just stick to smelling you
as much as i like talking about freud i dont need another reason to do it
and i think licking my mom from another timeline is pretty much grounds for rose to talk about it forever

[unavoidabubbly]

[scrambled brain coming up ala Roxy]

you can sniff me all u want davey
i wont mind
*WONK*
;3

all that funnybiz aside
while i look at rose like shes my dream daughter
i dont look at u and say
hopy shit its mai son
youre more like
strider part deux
and its pretty cool coz youre like dirk except not
cause youre davey
:3

[blind_knight]

huh i guess thats one way to look at it
still i share some genetics with you or something, right?
thats where things get awkward

[fireflyheir]

oh man
that's…
that's a pretty crappy thing to have happened
you're managing okay though yeah?

[blind_knight]

yeah im doing just fine
learned how to manage this shit from the most awesome blind chick i know
still it takes a lot of getting used to it

i mean im seeing you by smelling you
thats pretty fucking weird even after you do it for a while

[fireflyheir]

good.
terezi, right? i'm glad that's working out.

it sounds pretty weird too!
what's actually happening with that? what are you experiencing?

[blind_knight]

im smelling you and then getting an idea of where you are how tall you are and what colors make up your body
you kind of smell like blueberries

[fireflyheir]

no real surprises there! haha
so it's sort of like an oil painting or something
except smelling better of course!

[blind_knight]

yeah thats actually a pretty good comparison

but enough about me
what have you been up to?

[fireflyheir]

cool.

not that much really!
it's been kind of slow here… and with the holidays, i don't think it's going to pick up for a while. maybe in the new year!
