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.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

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]

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, 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,

[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]

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.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

yOU,
wHAT,

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

[givesyouaboner]

You know, innards.
Pa always said it tastes best right after you cut into them and they're still warm.

You should stop by for dinner some time. We'll make you a feast.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

uMM,

i DON'T THINK MY MUM WOULD, aPPROVE, oF ME EATING,,, iNNARDS,

aLSO i DON'T THINK i APPROVE OF EATING THEM,
uH, iT SOUNDS BAD, aND, iLLEGAL,

aND SCARY,


















pLEASE DON'T EAT ME,

[givesyouaboner]

Are you sure?
By golly, are you missing out!






You are rather gullible, aren't you?

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

i'M NOT GULLIBLE,,,

yOU JUST SOUNDED SERIOUS,

[givesyouaboner]

I'm far too civilized for that.
Trust me.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

sO YOU REALLY DON'T, uH,

eAT PEOPLE?

[givesyouaboner]

No way.
I mostly eat microwave chicken nuggets and crisps.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

oH WELL IN THAT CASE, uH, mAYBE COMING TO DINNER IS A THING, tHAT i COULD DO,
iN THE FUTURE,
bECAUSE CHICKEN NUGGETS, aRE PRETTY TASTY,
eVEN THOUGH i, dON'T THINK THAT THE CHICKENS IN QUESTION,
uH, rEALLY APPRECIATE BEING TURNED INTO NUGGETS,

bUT i TRY NOT TO, tHINK ABOUT THAT,

[givesyouaboner]

It'd be fun.
I could show you Lil' Cal and all of my cool stuff.
Also what programs you should be using when you get on the internet.

Why?
If it was reversed and there were giant chickens everywhere, they'd be pecking at us like corn kernels.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

tHE FLYING TEACHER, lET YOU HAVE HIS PUPPET?
bUT, uH, yES,
tHAT SOUNDS LIKE, a LOT OF FUN,
i DON'T USUALLY VISIT THAT MANY, uH, pEOPLE OVER THE SUMMER,
eXCEPT GAMZEE,
aND PROBABLY KARKAT, tHIS YEAR,
aLSO, aPPARENTLY YOU NOW, TOO,

uHHH, i DON'T THINK i WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT EITHER,

[givesyouaboner]

Uncle Dirk has a Lil' Cal too.
They're like twins, except mine is cooler and has different clothes.
I don't either.
Actually, if you come visit, it'll be the first time I've had a friend visit me.
Assuming you would like to have a friendship with me.

What about a world run by giant carrots?
That'll make you think twice about eating vegetables.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

oH YOU'RE,,, uH,
rELATED TO DAVE?

[YOU'RE A STRIDER. WHAT.

But you're too nice to be a Strider- well. You did say some rude things, but... You're still nice-ish! How are you a Strider.]

i THINK THAT, bEING YOUR FRIEND IS SOMETHING i WOULD REALLY LIKE,
i MEAN, uH, iF YOU WANT TO,
bEING YOUR FIRST VISITING FRIEND, wOULD BE REALLY FUN,

[Just going to casually sail right over the food discussion now, do not want to be thinking of cannibal veggies.]
