[The NV switched on, showing Dirk's view, instead of showing the Strider himself. The view was that of the floor, a hand splayed upon it looking bruised with dry blood and old cuts and scrapes on it.]

So it seems I owe a few people an explanation. Well that's fine, I'll get right onto that shall I? Only, how about I first make something clear.. You can't keep a Strider down, you can try and you can fail, down is something we just don't take well to. That is all.

Alright, next on the list of things to do, I need to tally up my Bro's, make sure everyone is accounted for and in good health, a little filling in would be great here too guys, I'm like an empty sandwich right now, just two sweet buns of wholesome plain white, itching for something between.

[Private to Dave]

Dave. I've been missing in action for lord knows how long now, I'm sorry about that. I can't go into the details right now, but it seems my interest and rad skills with robotics had me on some AGI top ten wanted list... I'll be more careful next time.

If I had you worried, I apologize, if not? Than I'm glad you had faith in me bro.

[Private to Karkat]

Words can not excuse me on this one. I fucked up and I've paid- am paying for that now, threefold. It would be cool to see you if you're not cursing my name seven ways 'till Sunday for up and pulling a Houdini on your ass.

Where are you?

Nill? Its good to hear from you. Currently I'm on my way through the underground mall, public places are not where I'd rather be right now, but its a faster short cut other than over land.

Where are you?

Outside. I'm a little far from the mall, but I can be there in a minute.

Unless you have someone else coming for you, I am going to be there in a minute. I'm not giving you a choice, so tell me exactly where I can find you, and sit down somewhere.

Alright, alright my rump is firmly parked, you have my word. I'm not too far from the South exit, about 300 yards in, on the left beside a baked goods stall.

Nill... You don't have to do this, I'm fine, honest.

From what I could see of you, yes, I do need to.

Shut up and stay where you are.

[That's all he gets, but it'll be slightly longer than a minute, because she needs to text Dave and let him know that you've probably been a fucking moron. Give them a few.]

If you insist, the company would actually be welcomed, feels like forever since I've seen a familiar face.

[He was going to say friendly face but he gets the feeling Nill is cross with him.]

Dirk!!! What happened?!

Funny, I was hoping you'd be able to fill me in instead. Ah well, it appears I may have been off the radar for a short while.

What did I miss?

Not much has been going on. [Besides his little trip to the hospital, but that's no big deal...] What's the last thing you remember happening?

Are you hurt? You look hurt.

I remember testing out a prototype for my new project I'm currently working on.

I'm fine, Egbert. You should have seen the other guy.

[Sure, some of it was Dirk's blood, but he really wasn't as bad off as he looked.]

You got in a fight?

What you ask suggests it was only the one fight, try several and you'd be on the right track.

What did you do that for?

[Dont mind him he just casually hacked all yo' shit.]

fiir2t rule of anythiing ii2 make 2ure you cover your track2 and don't get caught, jacka22.

[Oh Sollux, he's missed you too buddy.]

The problem I have with this statement, is that in order to fix the bugs with my project, I needed to at least be within arms reach of the enemy.

2ound2 liike you got much clo2er than that.

The problem was, I didn't work in an outcome of there being more than one obvious enemy.

Edited (because I have a sticky H button D:) 2013-02-12 05:57 (UTC)

here'2 an iidea, you liive wiith an entiire group of people, you could've told at lea2t two of them what you were doiing?

Yes, that's true, but if I had told them what I was originally doing, they wouldn't have even thought twice about it considering what I was actually doing wasn't the problem.. It was where I was doing it and who was apparently watching me do said act.

You follow?

welp, you have nobody but your2elf two blame then.

I've been looking for you. I thought maybe you got updated or left. It's not that strange, I mean with Jake gone and other people fading away.

[He's talking fast and it takes a second for him to reign in all of the panic and frustration.]

Fuck.

Where are you?

Fading away? What do you mean? Have people been going missing from the Port?

Its okay, Nill's insisting on collecting my ass, I think I'm in the dog house. More than likely I'll be coming to see you either way.

You'd be right, and I'm meeting you first. It's a package deal on who is picking you up.

People always randomly disappear from Port, bro.

Well shit don't I feel like the naughty teenager about to be grounded for a week with no toys.

Nah. See, that would mean I'd have to confine you to a specific area. While I might have the urge to do that, it would be hypocritical when I went off and died on you.

So let's settle with, what the hell. We talked about keeping communication open, then you go off and get into shit?? How does that work.

Unless they up and nabbed you without your say so. I want the deets on this. In person.

Yea, hypocritical is saying it politely at that.

I'd rather explain myself in person if this is an actual thing you're going to make me do. Communication was always open until it was out of my control to keep it tat way. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

As for the latter? It seems you're going to be getting those deets.

Yeah, it's going to be a thing.

[In less than a minute Dave is walking out of the shadows like he'd been within touching distance of Dirk the whole time. He shuts off his nv shades and replaces them with his normal ones. He doesn't always trust NVs.] Ok, so. Spill it.

[It's about another minute before Nill shows up, and she isn't quite as stealthy about the whole thing as Dave is. She just sort of appears out of nowhere, looking a little winded from sprinting across fucking rooftops because she has no idea how to do that flash step thing you guys have.

Regardless, she straightens immediately and starts looking Dirk over, checking for any obvious signs of bleeding or open wounds. She's dressed in the usual black darkness-roaming outfit, but unlike usual she has a backpack, which may or may not have a first aid kit in it.]

Which one was it?

[Enjoy the voice in your head, Dirk! That's probably new for him. Not so much for Dave, though.]

You look great.

[Well, that got an amused chuckle and a smirk out of the Strider.]

Don't I always?

[good that's what she was going for]

The red is a nice addition. Not my favorite color, but it works for you.

Yea, its more Dave's thing but I thought I'd try it out for a change.

[At least she wasn't yelling at him or demanding he stay put like the rest of his friends were.]

[she'll get to it eventually]

You're not about to keel over, are you?

[There's too many emotions for him to deal with, a horrible mix of relief, anger, fear and a slew of other bullshit that's making his chest pound and his throat tight. He wants to run and find him, throw a fit and scream but... He knows Striders, and that it's not his place to be the first. So he'll wait. He doesn't trust himself on video or voice because crying right now seems really stupid no matter how much it burns.]

DIRK YOU GRUBFUCKING BASTARD YOU'RE DAMNED RIGHT WORDS CAN'T EXCUSE YOU ON THIS ONE.
I *TOLD YOU* TO BE CAREFUL AND WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK *DID* HAPPEN TO YOUR STUPID CARELESS ASS TO PUT YOU IN SUCH A SHITTY STATE AND DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE FUCKING ISLAND?
NEVERMIND, I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY DON'T DO SOMETHING STUPID TO GET YOURSELF HURT
I WANT TO TELL YOU TO HURRY UP BUT I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT CONSIDERING I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE FLIPPING EVERY FUCKING TABLE IN EXISTENCE OVER THIS
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU IN YOUR ROOM

Its a good job I'm currently working on a dance routine then isn't it? If words can't explain, perhaps through the medium of contemporary dance you will be able to hear my side of this tall tale of clusterfuckery.

You know me, Vantas, I'm always careful, this time something out of him control happened. My hands were tied, literally...

Your ticket number is three, there are two others in line before you at the delicatessen counter for all things grilling Dirk right about now, just be home and I'll get there as soon as I'm through here okay?

Dirk
what the hell were you fighting out there?!
are you ok??

Harly. I'm sorry if I worried you.
I wasn't exactly fighting, I'll explain it to you in person?
But don't worry, I look worse than I actually am, I assure you of that.

i think you and Dave's plans is to give me a heart attack at this rate! :|
oh geeeez
i am bringing the first aid kit with me then!!
where are you?? =O
