Dude. Yo. Dave.

Catch.

[Head's up Dave. The dude is tossing you something. It looks like...a cheap, plastic four leaf clover pin. It's a little faded here and there, like the guy has had it for a while.]

[ironicoolly]

Pokey.

[He catches it in one hand and looks down to inspect it. Huh. This definitely isn't just some thing Pokey went and bought at some souvenir store moments ago. From the looks of it, Pokey either found it somewhere or it's been on him for a while.

Weird thing to give a guy.]

You're early, bro. My birthday's not for another couple of months.

[ceasetoexist]

Hey, wasn't planning on making it that, but if you're gonna give me a pass, sweet.

[He smirks a little, shoving his hands in his pockets.]

Kind of a souvenir I've had. Got it from someone early on when this crap began. ...Guess I sort of consider it a good luck charm.

Since you're just starting this crap, hey. Thought you could use it for a bit since we're, you know.

We're cool.

[He's building up to this. C'mon. He can tell you he wants to be your friend.

But dude. They wanted him to give you a friendship bracelet. A friendship bracelet, can you imagine how sissy that would be?]

[ironicoolly]

Sounds like it's pretty important, then. Luck's a thing I could always use more of, so I appreciate the thought. Sure you wanna part with it?

Now you're making me feel bad 'cause I haven't got anything on me to turn this into a neat little gift exchange.

[ceasetoexist]

[The teen shrugs, smirking.]

Hey, I need it back, I'll tell you. Not like you owe me anything. Yet.

I mean, hey, we're. You know dude.

You're my friend.

[Christ why is this so hard. Don't sound like such a desperate dumbass during this.]

[ironicoolly]

[uh... oh.

Not quite the response he was expecting from Pokey, so for a minute there's just an expression of genuine surprise on his face. Then he has to work at biting back a dorky grin because holy shit dude Pokey's like one of the coolest people here, and he doesn't really seem the type to say this sort of thing. That's not a thing that cool people say out loud.]

Yeah. We're... friends.

[He says it like it's an unfamiliar word on his tongue and he's trying to work out its definition.]

We're friends, huh?

[This is like the lamest response ever but his brain's blanking. Way to go, Strider.]

[ceasetoexist]

[Oh shit. Oh no. The dude sounds like those words are foreign as hell. Crap. Crap he came on way too strong with this. Look at Dave. Look at his...well. His badass shades, Pokey guesses, but behind those? Pokey is sure his eyes are just boring into him. Just setting his lame ass on fire with his coolness gaze.]

Yeah, I mean...you know. We're friends and stuff. Like, if you wanna.

I mean, like, if that's cool with you. Cause it's cool with me if it's cool with you.

[Oh God Pokey shut up you're fucking this up so bad.]

[ironicoolly]

Oh. Oh man, yeah, it's cool. Totally cool with me. Cooler than a cucumber in the freezing arctic, yeah? Ha. Haha.

[hrnrg that was totally an uncool thing to say and he probably came off like a total fucking dork

also god could that laugh have sounded any faker?]

[ceasetoexist]

Ha! I know what you're saying! Haha! Ha!

[Oh my god, he can't stop laughing now. Clearly this was the funniest fucking joke ever don't stop laughing oh no.

Oh God his lungs hurt.]

[ironicoolly]

[oh god

that laugh doesn't seem quite natural? Like, it seems more like Pokey's laughing at him than with him. His cheeks flush pink, and he is so embarrassed by himself right now.

Shit, shit, he's gotta say something. Something to salvage this trainwreck.]

Uh, anyway, thanks for the good luck charm. Let me know when your birthday is so I can return the favor when the time comes, yeah?

[ceasetoexist]

[Oh god. Oh no, he screwed this up so bad. Pokey looks over his shoulder, just...wanting to make sure no one noticed how bad he screwed this up. He just rubs the back of his head, anxiously, smiling. Trying to. Oh God don't let on you know just how much of a dork you're being.]

Dude, don't worry about it. I will parade my birthday around town.

...You're a cool guy Dave. Thanks. You know. For being my friend.

[ironicoolly]

You'd better. Gimme a few days advance warning, too, 'cause I don't half-ass my birthday presents.

[If he keeps talking and doesn't slip up, he can totally forget his embarrassment. Totally.

Except then Pokey's saying the f-word again and his brain comes to a screeching halt. Jesus he's gotta work on that.]

...Oh. Yeah. Yeah, feeling's 100% mutual, bro. No thanks necessary.

[His delivery was way too fast-paced and sounded the opposite of casual, but it could have been worse, probably.]
