First Run - Hi, what the hell?

Okay. So.

Magical journal? Check.
Shower has been had? Check.
Actually not-goopy clothing that still doesn't really fit? Check.
Waking up in the most insane excuse for a social study without any memories or, you know, clothes, and being told the low-down by some poor girl who looked like she was going to faint? Double check.
Getting practically manhandled around to god knows where without anyone telling me what the hell this is about and ending up writing this next to an endless rack of lady's high heels? GO TIME.

But seriously, magical journal, what the heck is going on?

Uh, and if these things work the way I'm told they are supposed to-- Hello there my fellow lab rats. I guess welcome me to the maze? And, you know, direct me to the cheese and not the sparks.

The name's Dash, by the way. As in dashingly handsome, or dashing to the rescue. You know, I’m good with either.

god I feel like a dork talking to a journal.

Sounds like my friends are opting for option B, there new guy. Tough luck.

So how long do I have to be new guy before it wears off? Just an estimate.

They just don't want to believe in the alien conspiracy. You and me buddy, we know what's up.

Pfff, give it a week. Maybe a couple days, if Throne manages to come up with a new nickname pretty quickly. We've already got a "D."

Skeptics, the lot of them. I bet they'll feel dumb when the truth is finally revealed.

I can deal with that time frame I think. Personally I hope my nickname kicks ass.

Yeah they totally will, but we'll get to gloat. You know, being more awesome and cunning than everyone else.

I deal with letters mostly, so you might be SOL, dude. But I'll see what I can do, yeah. All of this end-of-the-world business has sort of frazzled my brain.

But perhaps the mood will strike me and I'll be inspired.

Hey, not so bad. I like the name I picked. One syllable. Says it all. Can't really shorten that too much, right?

Drake.

Want.

i find a way.

Yeah, well, maybe I'll break the mold and get to keep my dignity or something.

Curse you Throne! Foiled again.

Damn right and if anyone encroaches on my hard-earned initial I'll zap their ass.

Wow, you zap asses and run from dinosaurs? Multi-talented.

Hey, so, Want tells me you know all about fire ants.

Very much so.

Unfortunately, yes, I do. I know they're twelve feet long, they don't like being torched, you have to slice their legs out from under them to do anything to them, and even after you hack their heads off they can STILL break your leg. Also, they find humans very tasty and their stings are lovely for allergic reactions.

Anything else?

Cool.

Wow.

Okay. Fire ants sound totally badass.

Uh, that'll be all for now Gramps. Thanks.

Sure until they land you in the hospital thanks to an allergic reaction.

...'Gramps'? How old do you think I am?

Yeah, but worth every minute, right?

I dunno, how old are you?

I guess like, forties?

heh. you too, huh? before we met, i though D was a fossil.

Okay, the way he talks right? It's so the way he talks.

I'm glad it's not just me.

So totally not just you, dude. I thought maybe he was a librarian. Or like a math teacher in a past life.

This makes me feel a little better.

A little.

Yeah, that makes sense. Or like, a science geek or something.

...I am so tempted to do evil things to you.

keep on chirping there, little birdie.

You're cruising for your own short-sheeting at this rate.

Nothing is worth a breathing tube down the throat. Nothing.

...

Mid-to-late teens. Somewhere in there. Want, Throne, and I are all roughly the same age.

Not even fire ants? I mean come on how often do you get to see giant fire ants?

Oh.

Wow.

Sorry dude.

Edited 2008-09-12 03:38 (UTC)

No, not even fire ants. Nothing is worth that.

...I seem to get that a lot.

I'll take your word for it I guess.

Yeah.

Um.

Well.
