(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.

[How to make friends and influence people, Natsume style.]

Dirk probably wasn't going to be any better. He can see why Bro had been a prick.)
It's only terrible if you're vulnerable. Some of us are...(He's pointedly staring very hard at you, Natsume.) Some of us aren't.
video
He's going to pretend he doesn't know what Dirk could possibly be referring to, and focus on the important part:] You should probably get inside. Before you ice over. [A pause.] You seem...different.
Re: video
He slowly starts to grin.) Shit, you think so? But I ain't got any sweaters or anything.
(Yes, he does. Blankets too. He quirks a brow at the last statement though.)
Do I? You might have met a different version of me. Was he hotter?
video
You should get some, then. [Sounds like a you problem, Dirk!!!
That prompts more scowling. If he says "no", it'll be construed as a compliment, and if he says "yes" it'll be acknowledging Thoughts that Shouldn't Be. So finally Natsume settles for:] He was very tall. How many versions of you are running around?
video
You get me some if you're so bent out about it.
(Pfff. Natsume.)
Mm. (How helpful.) Currently four, including alpha me. Or rather, me, the one you're talking to. The one you spoke to before. Dream me. And then Ultra me - which that guy's an asshole. (Hmmmmmmm.) Was I super muscular?
video
Then he frowns, looking taken aback.] That's -- more than I anticipated. Are they all here? At the same time? [Very huffily:] I didn't notice.
Re: video
Yes. (He sighs, dropping his hands to his hips.)
It's a bit more complex. Between my usual powers and the new ones in this fuckin' place, I'm trying to figure out how to operate everything. I can only really focus on one at a time. It's a lot harder for me to be aware or in control of the two. So. You probably won't see us all in one spot at one time.
(...........)
Unless I'm partaking in a really sexy threesome or something.

The explanation makes some kind of sense. Like...shape-shifting. Sort of. Maybe Dirk is some sort of supernatural creature. It'd certainly make sense. That last comment makes Natsume's ears turn bright red, so he of course refuses to address it.]
I see. Well, I wish you luck, then. Having an extra set of powers on top of...all that sounds like a lot.
