video | timaeusTestified
(The video feed opens up to Dirk squatting on the shoreline next to the Salt Lake. Behind him, the lake is shimmering with a brilliant pink light beneath the moonlight. Dirk's so still and pale that he looks like a statue. At least he does until he shifts back onto his heels. He's thoroughly drenched, only wearing a pair of sweatpants, some of his hair already frozen into peaks. By some miracle (or sheer force of will) he's not shivering.
Probably because he's beyond cold at this point. He's totally vibing with the bite.)
As a pro tip, taking a dip in the Salt Lake is good for the mind.
(...This was not an intentional discovery, but you would never know by how calmly he's speaking. His teeth aren't even chattering. He stands up. He places his hands on his hips. Dirk stares up at the moon, exhaling slowly, his breath forming a bit of fog in the air.)
Ironically, this helps with lockjoint too. (He raises his hands and turns them over as proof that he wasn't suffering from lockjoint due to the conditions. Granted, if he kept standing around in the cold like a jackass and the saltwater dried off...Hm. He curls his hands into fists.)
Just thought this would be an appreciated service announcement. I'm gonna go hit up Achelliac. See ya'll on the flip side.

(The aftermath sucked though. He floats up into the air so he wasn't directly on the frigid ground.)
Really though. It has come to my attention I may have been dealing with corruption. The Salt Lake seems to help.
no subject
Corruption's no joke. You tell me if you need anything, okay?
-> private
(The screen goes dark. A good chunk of time passes, but when the video feed comes back on, Dirk's alone in his house, fully dressed in Rainbow Dash Kigurumi, and in front of a crackling fire. Definitely an improvement.)
So, you're a darkblood, correct?
-> private
I am, yeah. Glitterblood, heh.
-> private
Cool. My blood changed from pale to dark. Do we have a gang color?
-> private
So you shed then.
-> private
No. (A beat.) I don't think so. Maybe. I'm still trying to organize what happened in my head. There seemed to be a series of events I am not entirely proud of.
-> private
Well, I'm not sure how else you could change bloodtypes. It happened to my friend Vira-Lorr, and the change seems permanent.
Did you wanna talk about it?
-> private
Yeah.)
Not particularly, but I think I have to. Mostly to keep others safe at this point.
-> private
Okay, why are they in danger?
-> private
(Kyle was intelligent. He felt he didn't have to point out why it might be difficult to trace a genuine shed with his powers acting fucked up because of corruption.)
Would you prefer a nuclear bomb being transported responsibly by scientists in a secure vehicle or would you want it to be passed off to some college kid who has been studying for his midterms for three days straight and owns a shitty motorcycle with a flat front tire?
-> private
[Yeah. Yeah, he's smart enough to see why this is a huge problem.]
Okay. So we don't know how your Darkblood has manifested, do we? There's a chance you fall more on the telekinesis side and not the reality manipulation side.
Re: -> private
(Thank God. Dirk rubs a hand at the back of his neck.)
No, we do not. It's possible, but I think that might be a little optimistic. I'd prefer to assume the worst, hope for the best in this case.
-> private
Yeah. 'Pray to God, but row for shore.' In that case... okay. Maybe we can nullify your Darkblood powers somehow.
Re: -> private
(Dirk is remembering why he prefers text. Ugh. Talking this much sucked.)
I don't want to nullify them. I want to control them. Once I learn that I want to make them stronger. (Okay, Dirk, damn.)
-> private
Okay, good to know.
Alright, but right now you said it's super dangerous because, duh, corruption. I feel like dealing with that BEFORE you go ham on powers training is a good idea.
-> private
Hm. (...Kyle...isn't wrong.)
Okay. Point. Fine, Broflovski. Nullify then control. Then amplify.
-> private
I am completely fine with this plan, and would be a hypocrite if I opposed it. I just do NOT want an army of hyperpowered emotionally constipated Grindr fantasies flying around messing up the whole city.
Re: -> private
(Yes, they're discussing this.)
Wow. (Sloooow smirk.) You think I'm really a Grindr fantasy? Damn.
-> private
Shut the fuck up, you know you are.
-> private goddamn it this comment got EATEN (explicit nsfw)
(A man after his own heart.) Okay, what part of this is boring? Will and Hannibal is fucking aces. Have you seen the petplay porn of them? It's outta this goddamn world.
(He actually look like he's three seconds from swooning.)
Okay, damn, now I have to read some tonight. Take a hot bath and...
(Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks, Kyle. He's going to have a very nice night now.)
No, Kyle, I'm oblivious to modern society. I know nothing of the beauty standards of your world nor am I privy to those of Grindr. What is it specifically about me that is Grindr-fantasy-worthy? Is it the hair?
CW: explicit nsfw
I used to love pretending to be an elf as a kid. So I guess it imprinted on me.
I haven't, no. I should, you think? Also I dunno, some people seemed kinda... judgey about that stuff. Because it is a little antagonistic. So I haven't ever told anybody.
Oh, shit, right. Uhm, it's your everything. Your build, your features, even your attitude.
Re: CW: explicit nsfw
That's actually endearing as fuck. He smiles, not unkindly.)
I get that. I used to believe I was a literal fucking android. So, I get it. (Somedays he still struggled with that, actually, but he's not just going to come out and say it.)
Sure, why not? Who cares if people are judgy? Ain't like the entire town is going to be privy to your search history unless you accidentally publish that shit on the network. (Amazingly enough, this wasn't blackmailing. Dirk really did believe in being comfortable with your sexuality.)
Hmm...It requires consistent communication between partners and a deep sense of trust. It might seem antagonistic, I suppose, but to me, it's probably one of the more companionable approaches to sex out there. It's entirely reliant upon how you actually feel towards your partner. There's a deep psychological involvement. It's not just fucking. It's a headspace you put yourself in.
(...Yes, Dirk feels very strongly about kink, okay.)
Wow, Kyle. (You're literally so easy to fuck with!) I'm so flattered, damn. I'm glad to know I could hypothetically be a bunch of dudes' wetdream. Man. I never knew.
(Now he allows himself to sound sarcastic. Juuuust so Kyle realized he was teasing him.)
CW: explicit nsfw
Yeah, but that's partly where you're from, right?
No, I guess not. I guess just... God, okay. I don't really know much about, well. Anything. But I know people are like, generally not very into the idea of, I guess... dangerous dynamics.
You're really very knowledgeable. I appreciate that. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing half the time.
[Kyle goes red.]
...sorry.
CW: explicit nsfw
(Hmm.) It can be a lot for people to grasp. Their only experience with negative interactions is likely abusive.
Thankfully people are allowed to show themselves out then. Don't worry if other people approve of your sex life or not. As long as you and your partner are consenting and informed, then that's all that matters.
(In Dirk's opinion.)
If you ever want tips, I won't judge you.
(He snickers quietly.)
It's fine, man. It's cute.
