[brohoof]

Character: Dirk Strider
Mun: Takato
Plot specific: N



I don't get what all the fuss is being kicked up about.
Blood's blood, man. It isn't gonna matter if you're pureblood, halfblood, muggleborn, squib, centaur, pony or what. We all bleed the same, we all feel the same. Can't we all get along, broskis?
Seems kinda silly to me.
Now that the pep talk's out of the way and done with, you lot haven't heard a peep from me all winter because I've been working on something.
If you see a clay rabbit running around, don't worry, it's just Li'l Seb. He's my newest golem, a little helper bunny. Still ain't figured out how to give him a personality of his own since golems are different from robots, but can't be too hard.
He gets in your way, just give him a brofist. That'll settle him.

[cuddlefishpeixes]

W)(at was t)(at question mark for? Of course I'm a girl, silly!
But...)(ow? Like, wit)( your fist? I didn't know bunnies could make fists!

[brohoof]

Kinda hard to tell over text, little sis. Didn't want to get it wrong and diss you or anything.
Yup. You just curl your petite hand into a fist and bump it against a bro's

[cuddlefishpeixes]

O)(, )(ave we never met before?
I'm Feferi! 38)
I'll )(ave to try t)(at!

[brohoof]

Dirk. Nice to meet ya, Feferi.
Tell you what; place your hand in a fist on your page, knuckle down.

[cuddlefishpeixes]

Um, okay.










_{[the next line is a little sloppily written, like she's scribbling it under her opposite arm]}










W)(at next?

[brohoof]

[His handwriting isn't nearly as sloppy because lol ambidextrous.]

I just brofisted you through the page.

[cuddlefishpeixes]

OOOOO)()()()()()()(!!!
)(ee)(ee, t)(at's so cool! I feel enlig)(tened! 38D

[whywereyouborn]

Golems are pretty cool, I guess, but why does your respond to brofists?

What are brofists?

[brohoof]

Because I taught him to.

Brofists are a code between men, little dude. It means you're cool with each other.

[whywereyouborn]

Oh. That makes sense.

And yeah; yeah, I think I've seen people do that.

[brohoof]

Golems don't have their own minds or personalities, but they can be programmed to do certain things.

You never been brofisted before, kid?

[whywereyouborn]

Oh, that's interesting... I guess it's good they don't have minds of their owns, or they could get out of hand.

No. Is that a bad thing?

[brohoof]

Nah, little man.

Here. Make a fist and place your hand knuckle down on the page.

[whywereyouborn]

Well.... Okay...

[brohoof]

I just brofisted you through the page.
We're cool, kid.

[whywereyouborn]

We are?

[brohoof]

You bet.
What's your name?

[whywereyouborn]

Wybie. Wybie Lovat.

[brohoof]

Wybie, huh?
Name's Dirk. Dirk Strider.

[whywereyouborn]

Yeah, not the best name, but I didn't get a say in it.

Dirk is cool, though.

[brohoof]

Wybie's not the worst name I've heard. Trust me.
Well, my parents almost named me Dick so I should be grateful it's not that.
My name still makes me sound like a porn star though.

[whywereyouborn]

Oh, thanks.

Nah, it's cool. I think a Dirk is some kind of knife, right?

[brohoof]

Yup. Used during naval warfare.

[whywereyouborn]

So there you go.

[brohoof]

Heh.
You're pretty sharp, Wybie.

[whywereyouborn]

Thanks, Dirk.

Uh, so are you!

[status_is_not_quo]

A golem, huh?

Hmm, that's one alternative to robotics I never considered.

[brohoof]

It's not quite the same, but it's manageable.

I tend to prefer my creations having their own personality though. It makes for decent conversations.

[status_is_not_quo]

That seems a little...

Lonely.

No offense. I'm more of a gadgeteer myself.

[brohoof]

None taken.
My old man's always out so it's just me and my little brother at home, and he's not interested in the kind of things I am.

[status_is_not_quo]

I see.
Yeah, I don't exactly have anyone at home who shares my interests. My stepdad tries, but that's just more annoying than anything.

I'm Billy, by the way. Billy Harris.

[brohoof]

And when they try too hard to understand it's exasperating to explain.
Dirk Strider.

[status_is_not_quo]

Even more so when you know they're not trying because they actually care.
Nice to meet you, Dirk.

I'd be interested in seeing some of your work with golems. If you don't mind.

[brohoof]

You too.
Oh sure no problem. Just tell me whenever and we can probably hook up.

[brohoof]

Just because they're big doesn't mean they don't feel.
Sure it might hurt less but the nerves still feel it.
Generally giants need to be poked a few times to get their attention, or so I heard.
