thats as good an answer as any
trying to figure out how many different versions of earth there are
at least represented out here
based on your answer
i think its pretty safe to assume were from different earths
but just to be sure
does the name crockercorp mean anything to you

I'm guessin we're not, cause I don't think I've ever heard of that before. You ever hear of a game called Star Forneus? It's super retro but hell it was like... the basis of all good side scrolling adventures
Kinda sucks though
I mean, if we were from the same Earth, I would've liked to meet you there.
But I guess that's not such a big deal since we're breathing the same air now, huh?

[oh ... well, that's some near Egbertian-levels of friendship being tossed his way. not that Dave minds, he thinks that both Ryuji and John are pretty cool doofuses who are easy to be friends with — and along with Terezi, Ryuji's toward the top of his list of favorite people aboard this space station.]
yeah
got a few choice words for the chef and whoevers filtering the air here
shits staler than movie theater nachos sittin there since the goonies
goddamn full frontal assault on your sinuses
but i figure its still better than the price of intergalactic airfare
never heard of star forneus though is that like a nintendo
thats more johns area of expertise
there was an xbox at home but i only ever played shitty glitchy tony hawk games

[Finds himself, as usual, smirking at the texts he gets from Dave. This guy...]
Okay, I'm gonna have to stop you right there
Since I gotta call you out on your game knowledge history
It ain't Nintendo, it's Famicom.
Now that you're learn'ed though lemme express my sadness at how shitty your life musta been if Tony Hawk was the only sad excuse of a game you got the experience of playing

[how would Ryuji react to the idea that Dave is technically both a video game player and also a self-aware video game character.]
god dont fuckin remind me
getting a jackass skateboarding dudebro glitched inside a building was always kinda funny though
in an existential crisis sort of way
but ive also played a few computer games in my day

[Look for a little quest marker above his head (!) to tell him where he should go next in this grand adventure of a space station mmo. Because he's pretty damn lost as it is.]
One day he'll get out of that building
Ripparoni Tony
Yeah? So you're not a console nerd (lame)
Which ones? Maybe they have some like.. mirror universe titles or something that we can laugh at

solitaire
minesweeper
you know hardhitting shit like that
but my friends and i played the beta version of a game called sburb
im gonna guess its not out on your earth yet
[he doesn't really mind talking about Sburb, if only because Ryuji is already aware of some of the powers it granted him. he just won't get into the more depressing parts.]

[Oh shit... did they have a meeting where they established the secret code?
Is he supposed to say something like But the rain will help the flowers bloom
or
But the night is long and filled with terrors
He stares at his communicator.
Private mode.]
What's up

What's up
There's a buncha people on the station looking to grab hold of power here and it's really messed up
We gotta be careful, I guess
Well
Uh... I gotta be careful.
But Ryo? If he's being shady, bringing it out in the open and letting people know what he's all about is a good way to make sure he's kept in check, yeah?
Or was that a bad idea...

The amount of people going for power here... it's really no different than what we dealt with before.
Please, in the future, attempt not to make a spectacle of things. Our cover would be essentially blown. You and I both know that.
Even if Ryo-san is shady. We need to be extremely cautious around him, and watch how we present ourselves to him. I wouldn't want him using anything against us.

thats why you wear guards dude
like the shit you wear when rollerblading or something
nobody likes getting sports injuries wrist deep in a round of solitaire
best to go in prepared
[if Dave ever actually played Solitaire for more than two minutes, it was likely only so he could get the satisfaction of seeing this. and if that site happens to exist in Homestuck-verse, then i guess he has no reason to play Solitaire at all.]
the logo was a house so i guess so
you started out by doing a lot of building
its this big collaborative effort
gettin into completely pointless shenanigans that never actually meant anything to the overarching story
but it got even more convoluted the further in you got
might be easier to explain in person

[There goes another 10 minutes of life never to be seen or heard of again.]
If you walk around with a wrist brace because you mineswept so hard I ain't ever talkin to you ever again
[Probably a lie, he'd be low key worried.]
So... sim city
Man I played that once
Raised the taxes and they freakin overthrew me as mayor
Assholes.
And yeah, sure. I'm always cool to hang. Tell me all about this convoluted shenanigan stuff

[did you make sure to hold and drag]
i didnt even know that was a thing that could happen
nice work ryuji
did you raise the taxes on tea or something
you never raise the taxes on tea
its a gateway to instant revolution
thats like basic mayoral etiquette 101
at least thats how i understood it from the mayor i know
anyway i can meet you at your room in 10 minutes

[....
....
....No...]
Some people just ain't meant for leadership roles and I'm one of them
I did build like 30 amusement parks though
So they shoulda been happy
Too bad I bankrupted the goddamn place
[Someone should teach him how to run a city. Or to at least listen to his advisers who constantly told him that raising those taxes to 20% was a straight kick to the nuts of the laffer curve.]
Anyway, room 28 if you didn't know

hahaha
guess a bread and circus deal doesnt work if people cant afford the circus
being in charge is overrated anyway
[it's at least partly why he's been watching, but not participating, in whatever's going on with these job assignments.]
[in any case, pretty much ten minutes on the dot later, there's a knock at room 28. because it would be weird if a god of time were anything other than exactly on time.]

[That last text.
Ryuji may, on the surface, appear to be a bit heavy handed and rash, and he might not pay attention to all the things he needs to, or be the best keeping quiet or to himself. He's too earnest, too hating of authority, too malleable to simple things like being in charge is overrated. There's no conceivable way that Dave could know Ryuji's keeping a list of all the people who seem to disagree. And since it's on his mind a lot lately, he's weirdly happy that he doesn't have to worry about Dave.
And when he answers the door, his expression is way, way too damn easy to read.]
Welcome home, turntechGodhead. If that really is your name. [He's so stupid.]

[Dave is no leader — and he's no hero either; that's something he's insisted on before. those are John's titles. the giant doof with a good heart who would pull the sword out of the stone with ease, while someone like Dave could only break it. the giant doof who, he understands now, will be the one to fix everything. that's what a leader does. that's what a hero does. and that isn't Dave.]
[Ryuji seems pretty pleased, though. he's not sure if it's because the dude's just completely stoked on video game discussion, or if it's something else. Dave's not really prone to giving out smiles as easily, but he does seem awfully amused.]
I'd say it's about as accurate as skull — as in, I'm pretty much a god at the turntables, and you've got a skull in your head.

Asshole.
[So capriciously said, without a trace of maliciousness to it, like there was nothing more natural and true in the world than the fact Dave Strider was an asshole. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he knows how much of a cheater he was, he'd probably throw down another thumb war rematch just for the hell of it, but since that'd go nowhere fast, he lets the other find whatever space he wants to take up, as big or as small as he feels comfortable to do, and settle in.
Oh, right- he just remembered something about a (really fucking strange) encounter he had with someone else on the station, and heads to the bunk beds. Looking at the difference between the top and bottom bunk, and the disheveled state of the lower one, it'd probably look like that one was his, but no- he reaches up to the neatly made top one and pulls down what looks like a package of something from under his pillow.]
Dunno if you're into it, but I managed to meet someone who had twizzlers? Uh... I dunno how, really, but he had a ton of em, and gave me some. Thought you'd like one.
[STRAIGHT UP CONTRABAND.
He tosses the junk food over to Dave. Only a few left, but he was only given a couple to begin with. Eh, might as well share the good fortune.]
