[refactor]

[ There's been a group of people trying to hunt down Dave since he had woken up, but at least it's not to, you know, revenge murder him. Though that said, all of the members of said group are probably aware enough that this isn't quite Dave's concern. It's been pretty much impossible so far, and maybe as a joke, or maybe completely seriously, Dave will find a note on his door at some point in the day, and it's very clearly Jack's handwriting: ]

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BONERFARTS

(you totally do)

COME TO THE VIEWPORT AT 4PM

BE THERE OR YOU'RE A TOTAL DICK

[ Jack probably did not get buy-off on this method.

Even so, at four, the crew is definitely chilling in the viewport regardless of Jack's stupid methods. ]

C'mon, there's at least— I dunno. Thirty percent chance? I'll go with thirty. That he'll show. Bonerfarts are funny.

Comments

[ like, dave isn't really up to saying much so

all that's gonna happen is he won't be in the room until he suddenly is, apparently still playing the "book it around the ship at top speed to avoid having to talk to anyone" game, please don't be alarmed by one teenager in skinny jeans and a t-shirt (he is not wearing his god tier pjs any longer) with jack's note in one hand standing nearby. his shades and neutral expression are in full force, although it's possible he hasn't slept in. a while. ]

[ When Dave shows up so suddenly, Jack definitely flinches, since holy shit dude. He's not used to this kind of ninja speed? But once Jack takes in the sight, his eyes widen in surprise, though it turns into a wide grin. He really hadn't thought it would work at all, since it'd really been more of a throwaway, last ditch effort, but.

Look at him? He's a friggin' genius. ]

Ha. See? I said it would work, and it worked!

[ he did not actually believe that for a second

But as Jack settles his hands on his hips, he nods at Dave. ]

Hey, Dave. You're a hard guy to get a hold of.

[antagonize]

[The words "it's not going to work" are already on the tip of Jason's tongue when, of course, Dave decides to show up like the ninja he apparently is. He clamps his mouth shut, teeth clicking together, and then. Just. Accepts this as a reality. Bonerfarts are effective. Okay.]

S'up, kid.

[Waving. Casually. Or, almost casually. This would be more effective if he didn't have a busted lip and a shiner from... something. It looks like he was in a scuffle before this meeting? Wonder who did it. It is a mystery.]

Nice to see you again.

[chiseler]

[He stares in disbelief for a moment as he watches Dave carefully, already fighting off a weird sense of sympathy and guilt. This isn't the time for that and instead he sort of blinks, wincing slightly thanks to his own black eye. So. He's occasionally wrinkling his nose a bit to stretch out his face, and so the look he's giving Dave is maybe a little weird in response.]

I can't believe bonerfarts worked except maybe I kinda can. [Dave is a teenage boy with a shitty sense of humor. He's not too surprised.] But I'm not sure it'd work on anybody else.

[antietam]

[ Someone is absolutely not joining in on the conversation. No one has explained why Adam's here? Or what he's supposed to be doing? Not to mention, Jack and Jason are pretty low on his list of people he wants to be around right now, so he's just sitting somewhere near Luke, arms crossed and keeping to himself.

Somehow managing to be the most unfriendly in this group. ]

[parodeity]

Who told you about my weakness?

[ his voice is a little hoarse like he hasn't talked for like. a while. and he sort of gravitates to luke's side since he knows him best out of everyone in the room, although he doesn't really sit down. ]

How the fuck can I say no to shitposting?

[refactor]

[ Jack laughs, since he's absolutely pleased with this development, but his smile at least shifts to be warmer, like he's glad to see Dave. He shifts his posture lightly, but nods to him, and then to everyone else in turn. ]

I mean, no one should. Humor is always the best way to deal with shit.

[ But. That all said, he won't waste too much more time. He looks to Adam, who's been quiet so far, but then back to Dave. ]

So. Can tell you all about bonerfarts, but that's not exactly why I was tryin' to get you to come chat. Truth is? I want your help, kid. Both of you, really, but I'm putting my trust more in Adam than you. 'Cause truth be told? Just cuttin' to the chase here, since it's not my interest to waste time. I've got a role. It's my job to hunt down the Souvlaki.

[antagonize]

[Well. There they go. The cat's out of the bag. If one (or all) of them end up dead, then they'll know why.

But Jack has the introductions under control, so Jason lets him talk. Occupies himself with something else, instead. Namely, looking over at Adam and purposely raising his eyebrows at him. Being the most unfriendly person in a room full of assholes is not, in fact, an accomplishment. Smile, bro. Jason only punched Luke a little? Jeez.]

[chiseler]

[Sigh. Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. If he'd known it'd be that easy he wouldn't have freaked out so much about telling Adam and maybe they could have avoided a whole argument, but as it stands it's Jack's choice and he'll just have to deal with it. Dave's close enough to him now that he can flash him a mildly encouraging grin because the kid's probably had it rough for a few days. Adam's also close enough to him he can elbow him lightly to get him to ease up. But he can't help but chuckle to himself even as he's watching both of his kids closely.]

Eager, aren't we? [But he understands why.] We're gonna need as much help as possible, I think.

[antietam]

[ Adam meets Jack's look, then Jason's. Jason gets a glare for his trouble because they are no longer bros. Blow Luke up once, shame on Adam for not leashing him, but that black eye? Is all Jason.

Still, his attitude drops a little when Jack mentions his role. He's supposed to pretend he didn't already know about this or something, which he assumes Luke's nudge was for, so there's a flash of surprise. It seems genuine. Then back to frowning. ] And the reason why you didn't last time was...?

[ Because a bunch of teenagers died or got their arm cut off and Jack was nowhere in the mess, so he's not favorable toward him. ]
