[Some minutes pass. He's new to this place, yeah, but he rolls with it. Finds the library and goes right to where Dave said he'd be.

And he stops some feet away. Fortunately, he either forgot to bring or purposefully didn't bring any sort of weird stitched-up puppet along, but holy shit. Everything's awkward.

There's Dave, and some girl. Not just some girl. He knows of her in that weird Guardian way, but. His focus is mostly Dave.

Takes some steps closer, giving the both of them an upward nod. Acknowledgment, like it ain't a big deal and he's not really affected by any of this.]

[He looks up at Rose, and gives her a small thumbs up.]

Never better. And hey, you get to meet my super cool Bro.

[He falls silent for a little while until he notices Bro approaching. Awkward shifting from foot to foot ensues until he comes closer.

He gives a silent nod in return. His voice is caught somewhere in his throat. Dave glances at Rose from above his shades, silently urging her to be the one to break the awkward silence.]

...As wonderful as this silent head nodding family reunion is, perhaps something more informative would be beneficial?

Greetings, Bro. I am Rose Lalonde-- we spoke earlier over text. Has anyone properly explained the situation here for you?

[Her eyes glance over to Dave.]

[Pause.]

Right. Chick with the brain problems. Great to finally meet you.

[So casual about it. Hilarious sarcasm and everything. But he's not coming any closer. Eyes shift over to Rose, then back on Dave.]

Some douchebags left me a note.

[Dave's faking eye contact, shades tilted up towards Bro but eyes directed down towards his feet.]

Been kidnapped, don't know why. Trying to get out. Blasting walls doesn't work.

[He looks over at Rose.]

Wanna explain the weird space-time shit? I'm totally done with that stuff.

Our captors seem to have no distinctive pattern of who they take, and from when. All of us come from different points along the alpha timeline, and some not even from the alpha timeline at all.

For example, we have a Dave Lalonde in our midst.

[Why did she get the feeling that by the end of this day she'd have to sit down Dave and psychoanalyze his feelings?]

[If he's making Dave uncomfortable he's succeeded as a guardian.

But.]

Rad.

[He's only half-paying attention, his own thoughts taking a lot of the concentration away. In Sburb, he just knew shit. Here? Not the case. It's a strange feeling.]

[Dave glances back over at Bro nonchalantly.]

When'd you get here? And what was the last thing that happened to you before you showed up? Gotta get an idea of when on the timeline they took you from.

[And she's going to remain quiet, inspecting her fingernails half heartedly. Despite this man being her genetic father, she really didn't have that much interest in him. She was here to support Dave, and perhaps a tinge of curiosity about the famed 'Bro'. But otherwise, he was just another person from her universe, like the trolls she gave barely a care for.]

[On the contrary, Rose's aloofness is sort of intriguing. He wonders if she could out-apathy his brother.]

That furry piece of shit stole my sword.

["And was about to stab me". But that part's left out.]

[He jerks a little bit in surprise but slowly lets himself relax, pretending not to be shocked at all.]

You were fighting Jack Noir.

[It wasn't a question.]

I'm further ahead on the timeline than you.

[And now Rose is hovering ever so slightly closer to Dave, concern masked by neutrality of expression, but quite certainly known to her brother.

Bro came from just before he died.]

So.

More time bullshit.

[He ain't even bothered.]

Yeah.

[Should he tell him that he came here right before he died?

He decides against it for now. What difference would it make?]

We were about to cause the Scratch. I was about to fly into the sun and destroy it. All that cool stuff.

Anything else you need t'know?

You were about to fly into the sun and destroy it?

[B)]

[EYEBROW RAISE..

ok he wants to see some ectosibling rivalry going on that'd be cool]

Explain yourself bro.

[Dave rolls his eyes at Rose, not that she can see it, but his disdain is clear.]

Just before we came here, I was about to fly Derse's moon to the Green Sun and blow it up like a motherfucking Michael Bay movie or some shit. Then she knocked me the fuck out and stole my mission.

Right, anything else that doesn't have to do with stolen suicide missions?

Knocked out with a ball of yarn, more specifically.

I knew Dave was a lightweight.

What the fuck. There was a fucking rock or something in that yarn ball I swear to god.

[Sigh.]

Anything else?

That's how I had to wake him up on Derse in the first place, as well.

[just.... snorts.......]

Alright, cool, now you're all caught up. Looks like we're done.

[He turns to walk away but stops, mid-step. Without turning around he asks.]

Bro, you didn't bring Lil' Cal with you here, did you?

[A quirk of the brow, but then she remembers. Dave had had the most giant freak out after opening his trunk and finding Cal. He'd been teleporting around places ever since.]
