IC Perspective: Dirk Strider (First Year)

[givesyouaboner]

Character: Dirk Strider
Mun: Abby
Plot specific: N

Is it true, that anyone can see what I write here?
It's similar to a forum... but I'm writing in a book.
The idea of magic being real is strange still.
It's a better suited theme for one of Dad's films than reality.
But in truth it's the opposite.
That means that Lil' Cal wasn't moving on his own either.
I was doing it.

Nothing specific, really.
My dad sometimes let me use his sound equipment and that was sweet.
I also had music lessons at school.
It was very posh; I had to play violin.
It's not really my style.

[dou8letrou8le]

You did not apparently.

Niev, Ukraine. I was moved around a lot until I c8me over here to England to live with my Gre8t Aunt 8efore she passed aw8y.

[givesyouaboner]

Oh. Ew. No.
I'm not into any of that Silence of the Lambs stuff.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

sILENCE OF THE LAMBS?
iS THAT LIKE, a NEW SPECIES OF LAMB, tHAT ARE VERY SILENT?
aND, uH, gOING WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE CONVERSATION,
lIKE TO EAT SKIN?

[givesyouaboner]

I don't think most people do.

Oh wow. I've lived in London all of my life. Kensington, specifically.
My family is from Texas, though.

[dou8letrou8le]

Texas?
America, yes?

[givesyouaboner]

It's a book and a movie.
You haven't heard it it?
It's got a cannibal in it, sure.
He's classy. Eats his liver with frava beans and chianti.
There was also another guy that liked to make clothes out of skin.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

uHHHH,

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[Except he can't manage anything more eloquent than...]

eWWWW,

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah.
Have you been there?

[dou8letrou8le]

No, never.
Is it nice?

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, I know. Skin suits are so not en vogue this season.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

i REALLY HOPE THAT THEY, wON'T EVER BE,
bECAUSE THAT WOULD, uH, bE REALLY DISTURBING, aND, i THINK ILLEGAL,

[chousenplayer]

Sounds more like Stu's stuff.
You should talk to him. I get most of it, and they're fun but I prefer my Les Paul.
Have you tried anything else since then? Violin isn't many people's style.

[givesyouaboner]

It's okay.
I met some of my family there when I was little.
They sound a bit slack-jawed.

[dou8letrou8le]

Slack-jawed?
Is there something wrong with them?

[givesyouaboner]

With clothing, yeah.
But eating? Not a problem at all.
In fact that's what we'd have for Thanksgiving back in Texas.
Waste not, want not.

_{[Minus the fact he's only been to Texas once, and it certainly wasn't during the Thanksgiving season. Nor has he ever celebrated it.]}

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

wHAT,

[Are you. implying what he thinks you're implying. He is not sure. He really hopes not.]

[givesyouaboner]

Sure thing, if I meet him.
I haven't played anything else yet.
I'd like to dabble around more to find something that suits me better.

[givesyouaboner]

Their accents are rather thick.
Even though I've watched a lot of American films, I couldn't understand them sometimes.

[givesyouaboner]

My Pa, he really liked to be eating some of the man-gizzards.
But me, naw, I like to be eating some leg with lots of ketchup.

[chousenplayer]

Blue hair, and both his eyes are basically sockets thanks to fractures. He's hard to miss.
And good luck finding any instruments in here.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

yOU,
wHAT,

mAN GIZZARDS?
lEG?
i, uH, dON'T THINK i UNDERSTAND,

[dou8letrou8le]

I wouldn't 8e a8le to understand them either then.
English is the worst language to learn and understand.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, he sounds that way.
I'll keep an eye out for him.
Name's Dirk Strider, by the way.
I don't believe I've properly introduced myself.

Yes, hopefully I'll find something.
