[I just didn't want to keep doing it on the network post. So anyway, like naturally he immediately left his house as soon as Dave said the door was open and so fifteen minutes later he appears at Dave's house in Ruga and he knocks on the door. It's a reflect more than anything, but since Dave said the door was open he just enters the house on his own and steps into the main room to see if Dave's even in the house or if he's on the roof.

Where are you, Dave?]

[ while he is frequently on the roof, he's sprawled in one of the overstuffed green armchairs in his living room, legs hanging off one armrest and head back against the other, laptop balanced on his lap.

changes since the last time: tibia has been shifted to sit on the couch, a chipped teacup on a saucer on the little table to the side of her. there's now a yusuke kitagawa original drawing of a crow.

and there's a lobster tank in dave's line of sight with nauti buoy merrily swimming around it doing lobster-esque things. ]

[Obviously his first thing is to head over to the lobster tank, but at least he speaks up as he moves.]

This place looks a lot better with the colors back. [And he crouches, more or less pressing his face to the tank like he's never seen a lobster before.]

Yeah. Gettin' to be real homey. Do not tap the tank, you're not allowed to harass Nauti Buoy.

[ why this. ]

It's not harassing if I just want to say hi. [But then it clicks and...he just starts snickering. John's sense of humor is Not Helpful.] Are you really keeping him? [A hand comes up to the tank and he doesn't tap it, but he does rest his index finger on the glass to see what the lobster does.]

He's my newest roomie, so yeah?

[ the lobster tries to attack john's finger thru the glass.

this fails... ]

[Glad John's going to be entertained by a lobster for a while.]

I heard about the post, yeah. Lobsters live for a while I think so at least he will be decent company. [He moves his finger across the glass to see if Nauti follows. Poor Nauti.]

Yeah, I thought so, too. [ it's the nearest he'll get to admitting to being incredibly lonely.

nauti is definitely following this INTRUDER FINGER. ]

How're he and Tibia getting along? [He's aware that Dave's still alone and he doesn't like it much, but here they are. It's why he invited himself over. It's why he's probably going to stay as long as he can.

It's why he's terrorizing a poor lobster.]

[ don't lie. he would totally terrorize the lobster even if dave had five real roomies. ]

She's scandalized by his nudist status.

Do you think a lobster would wear a bathing suit? [He would definitely terrorize the lobster if Dave had real human roomies. Oh well.]

I am not sure it would enjoy it? [ leave his new bff the lobster alone :( ]

Do you speak lobster-ese now? [Can't believe John gets to be jealous of a lobster.]

Yes. How else would he maintain best friend and roommate status? Elaborate games of charades only go so far for friendship.

I thought I was your best friend. [Casually, but he will fight you, Nauti Buoy.] I even come with the benefit of the English language.

Yeah, but you're not a lobster.

[ -100 points. ]

I could be. [Sometimes John doesn't think of what he's saying.] Not that I want to be. I like having thumbs and not living in a tank.

[He finally leaves the lobster tank, floating over to Dave's chair and leaning over the back of it to look down at him and his laptop.]

What are you doing anyway?

Next arc of SBaHJ.

[ he's...bored and lonely and that has always translated into dumbass comics. it's the language of a kid who swallowed every other kind of word to describe it. dave doesn't tense up or shift when john floats his ass over, just kind of glances before returning to his desecration of art. ]

And let me know if you manage to attain lobster-tier and I'll reconsider the bff slot thing? There are things only a lobster can do for a dude, y'know? Like sing about staying under the sea and shit.

[ sebastian wasn't a lobster. ]

That is a crab, Dave. Lobsters I think are just kind of the mascot of a bunch of shitty chain restaurants. [He does watch the screen though because he's never seen Dave work.] I cannot sing under the sea but I can probably play piano better than a lobster.

You keep sayin' that but I haven't heard you play in years? [ nut up or shut up????

also dave appears to be doing a sort of weird ass comic about hallways and darkness, so where's the joke. there's lots of bad art and he seems to c/p shit a lot and also make things worse on purpose. ]

My piano is in my 'dex. [Casually. He watches before he leans forward, using his finger to point at something on the screen.] Artifact that part.

[He's trying to see the punchline here. It's not working.]

Decided it was safer in there?

[ dave obligingly artifacts the part john indicates, though.

punchline wise it...has the feel of that one halloween comic, maybe. it's just frustration in the form of a hard to understand joke. ]

Our house was going to maybe sink if I kept it out. [Shrug. He still watches over Dave's shoulder and he doesn't know what to make of it.]

What other comics have you made since we got here?

Yeah, I know. Okuyasu complained once or twice. Is it safe in there though? And you can check the image files if you want. I just haven't been posting them.

I want to see the image files, yeah. [He doesn't answer about the piano right away.] It should be fine.
