Okay sorry to be a bother and post twice in two days.
But i have something really world shatteringly important to do right the fuck now.
And i desperately need someone capable of WORLD HOPPING to help me.
Is there anyone with a skill like that willing to lend me a hand?

I have to go see a man about a horse.

[OOC: Though this post isn't about the cupcake, if you're the RANDOM NUMBER HERE'th person to reply you might just get some Jake English lovvins!]

This must be some horse! What with the totally needless extra line breaks and all.

It sure is! It was a line break of dramatic importance. Do you think you could throw me a bone here, my dear lady?

Maaaaaaaaybe. It all depends on how bad you want it!

I do have to admit I want it pretty bad. But some fine doll has already offered... So I guess I'll have to get a rain cheque.

Rude! You don't just turn down a lady's offer like that.

...Golly, I didn't mean to be rude. Can I make it up to you, somehow? I guess I'm a heel, after all.

You could always owe me a favor! Favors are veeeeeeeery useful things, in the right hands. And those hands are mine!

Well, I guess that could be true. But I don't think I've done anything quite so bad that I should owe you an unspecified favour, miss. Seems a bit over the top!

Oh, playing innocent now, huh? I'm not letting you off that easily!

Oh! [He clears his throat] Is that so, miss?

It is extreeeeeeeemely so! And I'm no miss, you know. I'm a tough as nails pirate, and don't you forget it!

Can't you be a lady and a pirate at the same time?

Of course! But it's pirate first, lady a diiiiiiiistant second.

Well if you want to come off as a bug-eyed Betty then I'm not going to stop you. Its exciting to meet a real live piratess, though.

[Jake can't believe it. He is off his island, where he was always alone except for the teeming throngs of ferocious fauna, and is actually standing. Outside. Dirk's. Apartment.

His heart is pounding very hard as he raises his hand and knocks, shave-and-a-haircut, then sticks his hands in the pockets of his shorts and rocks nervously on his heels. He doesn't know what denizen of cool he's about to enter, but he's sure it'll blow his socks off]

[Dirk's head turns swiftly, alerted suddenly like some sort of African ungulate. Someone is knocking on his door.

NOBODY knocks on his door. Nobody comes to his apartment EVER. He even goes to alternate locations to get pizza delivered. It COULD be Jake. Is he even ready for Jake? He's not ready! He should have realised Jake was actually going to find a way to come here and he should have come up with a huge, alternate plan of meeting for this exact scenario. Holy fuck.

Maybe it isn't him, though? He captchalogues his katana to his strife deck just in case, along with Cal. Can't go into battle potentiae without his lil' buddy. Exiting through his closet, he makes his way to the door. What the fuck is he going to do with him if it's Jake? Shit.

At least his hair is perfect right now.

He flashsteps past the door to look in the peephole, and then opens it, ready to move away again if that turns out to be illusion.]

[It is Jake, and he recognizes Dirk instantly from his resemblance to the robot he lovingly assembled and then instantly regretted.

He beams, hopeful and nervous. Dirk's even more cool looking in person, and Jake is suddenly worried that he'll be a disappointment]

Hi! [He suddenly sticks out his hand, so fast that he sort of gets his fingers caught in his own pocket during the transition from pocketed to handshake] I'm Jake English. This nice Asian girl from the community was kind enough to give me a lift, and--

[Nope. He can't do it. He jerks forward and throws his arms around Dirk's neck in a quick hug] It's just bully to meet you, Dirk. Real fucking swell.

[Dirk nearly flashsteps away anyway, because he can't fucking handle this. What does he DO? He's only just started to reach out a hand for the handshake, when Jake decides to hug him instead. His brain shuts down for about three seconds, and he stands there awkwardly, with his hand still sort of out.]

Hey, dude.

[Wow, his voice was weirdly modulated, then.]

Why don't you-- [come to his room? What if he doesn't want to be friends with a massive weirdo? Oh god, his pictures are still cycling. Whatever. Okay. Whatever, he can handle this. He's in control and he's super ironic and he's a cool guy] --skip the rest of this bullshit and just come hang out in my room? We can game or something.

[Oh. Dirk probably didn't want to get a big bear hug from him, and so he was all kindof stiff and awkward. But Jake can't completely regret it. He's just really excited, and well, Dirk knows how excited he can get.

He smiles at the other boy, sticking his hands in his pockets again and trying to act as unaffected as Dirk obviously is.]

Yeah, sure. I was just thinking that I'd sure get a kick out of seeing your room.

Cool. Follow me.

[Wow, he can't even talk, he is so shit at basically everything, fuck fuck fuck. He leads Jake as quickly as he can manage into his room, and then walks over to decaptchalogue Cal and his sword again. He guesses he doesn't need them right now. Cal can go right back to being a kind of floppy Lady of the Lake.]

Here it is, the Strider room foretold of in legend. So...what do you want to do?

[Jake followed, eyes wide as he walked through the apartment as if he's delving deep into a tomb.]

Wow, your apartment is so amazing! I'm just fucking flabbergasted.

[He glances around and then perches on Dirk's bed. Little of what he sees really surprises him. It's just like Dirk to have so many ironic, perverted things]

Maybe we could play a video game, like you suggested. It'd be a treat to play one with someone else.

[It's really nice to hear Jake express amazement, and know that he's being valid. Because that's what Jake's all about. He's just fallen off the back of the yokel apple cart and he's filled with excitement for the world.

Dirk wants to ruffle his hair.

And teach him how to mercilessly destroy all his enemies.

Damn, he's cute.]

Sounds good to me. I'll load up Warhawk, unless you were thinking of something a little less close to home.

[He turns on his Playstation, which stops the cycle of images on his TV.]

[Okay, Dirk doesn't seem too annoyed with him yet, but Jake is probably being jut a little too excited. Dirk's apartment is just like something out of a movie, to him - just as mysterious and exotic as an Egyptian tomb in its own way - which makes it hard to contain himself. But he's aware that he's being a massive dork, and he doesn't want to turn off his quintessentially chill friend.

So he takes a breath and lets it out, trying to relax. He grabs a controller, then scoots back and tries to just sort of...sprawl on Dirk's bed, in a position where he can still see the TV.]

No way. It sounds right up my alley. Are you going to sit on the chair or do you want me to budge over?

[Dirk eyes his bed as he picks up his own controller. Shit, no, that's kind of close-quarters. He is not going to be concentrating on the game like that.]

None of the above, in fact, I'm going to chill on this sweet smuppet pile.

[He shifts a hard robot part, and settles himself into the pile, leaning his back against his mattresses.]

Are you ready to get your ass kicked, or conversely, engage in mutual ass-kickery?

[Flipping through the menu options, hellz yes, this is the most pretentiously named fight.]

[If it weren't for how weird-looking those smuppets are, Jake might be envious of Dirk's position. He rolls onto his stomach, feet kicking the air, and elbows not far from Dirk's head, with a perfect view of the television.

This is so much better than playing on his computers!]

As it's you who'll definitely be getting their bottom booted, I hope you're prepared, yourself! [He laughs] Or maybe we should join together for cooperative calcitration of some stranger's can?

It's all right; it's very nice to see people are active here! I would be happy to help you, dear. Where is it that you wish to go?

You can worldhop??
Im looking to go to my friend striders house.
Its in the same world so im hoping thats not going to fubar the whole thing.

Strider-san, is it? That should not be very hard at all; this device always sees to know where we are going. I'll be there in a moment, if you are ready now?

[assume worldhop go /o/]

Right yeah though not the other strider.
