_{[If anyone hasn't seen Dirk for a while, it's because he hasn't been here. But he's back now, oblivious to what's been happening in the tower for the past month. The more pressing issue for him at the moment is processing what he's experienced in that wasteland.]}

I refuse to believe that was my home world.

_{[And that's just all he has to say on the matter. What's probably most disconcerting is at this moment, as much as he hates this place, he's glad to be back here. At least here, he's not alone.]}

holy shit its another orange creamsicle
whats got your panties all in a twist?
deadland 2k9?

Holy shit, it's more red courier.
Considering I've already spoken to Dave, I feel obligated to ask. Who are you?
To answer your question, it might be better to just say,
What doesn't have my panties in a twist. Which, at the moment, are just a few things I could count on one hand and have most left over.
But if you must know, it isn't pleasant to experience two apocalypses in one lifetime.

[oh wow she's suddenly nervous ok]

uh im jade
jade strider
not from the same universe as the red dave though
theres some funky trans-universal time space bullshit going on around here
apocalypses tend to be real downers though from my experience
ive seen at least one or two myself
sure never gets old

My name is Dirk Strider.
From the universe I'm from, Dave is my older brother, and another version of me is his older brother.
Who should be around here somewhere, actually.
He's my roommate but I haven't seen him since I've made it back here.
It seems like there are at least five other Striders than I ever imagined existed.

1/2

[reddeadvirtuoso]

youre
his bro?
i mean an alt version but
his actual bro is here too?

[Oops radio silence, her mind cannot even process this right now, hang on.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

yeah i have no idea where he is but theres a metric fuckton crop of us around here
guess this place has a penchant for dragging us all together

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah. Is a version of that Dirk your brother too?

It makes me wonder just how many more there are out there. Although it's most likely immeasurable; the possibilities are endless.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

yep
that seems to be a universal constant as far as the color red i concerned
man who knows
infinite timelines infinite universes
and every single one of them hellbent on giving you a goddamn migraine

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, I'm convinced a perfect universe simply doesn't exist if we're involved.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

yep sounds about right
the big executives of galaxy corp are up there supervising their assembly lines
and its like holy shit we have this universe here this thing is the fucking best
and they add this handful of jackass kids who type in courier and realize no
thats not right
we have to make this universe much more stupider just for them!
im sure theyll learn to deal with it
