[He stills, when he sees John. It's only been what, three fucking years, and the sight of him in glorified pajamas shouldn't be shocking. John had reached God Tier first, and he'd always known that. The part that was shocking, was that John had shot up like a beanstalk, Dave knew the second he stood up from his sprawl on borrowed troll-pile, he'd have to crane his chin back, just a little, to meet John's eyes from beneath his shades.

This is all kinds of totally uncool, and it's enough to make him want to drop kick John back to his little battleship floatation with Jade. If that didn't require getting up, anyway]

Yo.

[Yeah, that's the only Strider greeting your getting. Suck it]

[...He'll give him that. That was a pretty good comeback and it throws him off his feet for a second. There was a time, when John would never have been able to do it, not without a pause in the typing of his conversation.

But then, he's had his own Dave to play with for three years, to grow up with. And like Davesprite had likely felt before, now Dave's the one who feels on the outs]

Man, it doesn't count if you wake up at the end. But I'll give you half points for having enough dream swag to pull it off.

[ It's mostly because John just takes longer to type than Dave! Also taking a moment or two to actually type out punctuation probably makes a differences as well. Either way, John likes to think that he was always a witty rhetorician. Whether he actually was or not is another matter completely.

The constant banter with Dave hasn't hurt his quipping abilities, though he's probably rusty when it comes to the passive aggressive Rose-esk banter. ]

It counts extra if I pull it off like that! That's style and speed points.
