[parodeity]

Yeah pretty much? I was raised by pretty much a ninja, though.

[inheritance]

You were raised by a what?

[The look he gives Dave now is just baffled. Seriously, what is your life?]

[parodeity]

A dude with similar speed, liked anime swords and shuriken, basically a ninja. You could go entire days without seein' him because he just flashstepped around the joint.

[ DAVE'S LIFE IS...HOMESTUCK ]

[inheritance]

So... it's a family trait? [That's what it sounds like anyway.]

[parodeity]

It may be semi-genetic...? My sister doesn't seem to have it, but yeah. She has...other things. Like, knitting needle magic.

[inheritance]

Really? [As always, Izuku perks up at the mention of another power.]

So that means can she manipulate string and fabric?

[parodeity]

No, she like, shoots dark magic out of her knitting needles.

[ sometimes she also stabs ogres in the eyes with them but dave leaves that part out. ]

[inheritance]

[For a second, Izuku just goes quiet, and then he lets out a soft laugh.]

Okay, I wasn't expecting that one. Can she do anything without the needles?

[parodeity]

She's the Seer of Light. She can kinda "see" the "most fortuitous" path or some bullshit. Basically she can see the future, only with like...conditions.

[ SO THAT'S A THING... ]

[inheritance]

That's a pretty cool power... and still one related to time, like yours.

[He looks like he's itching to just reach for his pen and notebook right now to take notes.]</small ...you think I could ask you about this in more detail later?

[parodeity]

Yeah, of course. You can ask about 'em whenever you want, really. It isn't like I have a hopping social life.

[inheritance]

You don't? But... isn't one of your friends from home here with you?

[He's a little surprised. Dave seems like such an easygoing and friendly person, after all.]

[parodeity]

Yeah. Three people I know are - and John's my best friend. But he lives in another district and I can't really, like, lay claim to all his time just because I get lonely?

[inheritance]

I don't know Egbert-kun that well, but I'm sure he'd want to know if you were feeling lonely. That's... how friendship works, right?

[And on that note, actually--] You can always message me, too, if you want someone to spend time with! [A pause before he blushes.] U-um, not that I'm saying you'd want to spend time with me over your best friend! I-it's just, if you're lonely, I wouldn't mind hearing from you... or just any time at all! Not just when you're lonely!

[He covers his face, because this seems to be the only way to stop himself from rambling on any more.]

[parodeity]

...You're acting like one of those shoujo manga protagonists who just confessed her love. Does this make me the cool mysterious senpai??

[ dave no ]

[inheritance]

[Yes, Dave. That's exactly it.]

I-I'm what? [That's enough to make him drop his hands away from his face.] I didn't confess anything!

[A pause.]

Can you have a confession of friendship? Is that a thing?

[parodeity]

I'll allow it for the time bein'? Senapi notice me feelings can be platonic friendship crap, yeah?

[ dave only knows memetic anime tropes so izuku probably knows better than he does... ]

[inheritance]

Senpai...notice me? [What's that even. Izuku worries at his bottom lip.]

I'm guessing it's supposed to mean exactly what it sounds like?

[parodeity]

...You know, it's one thing to be dragged through time and space to a place. It's another to be condemned for eternity to groups of people who either refuse to acknowledge my memes or who just don't know what they are.

[inheritance]

Oh, it's a meme. [Well, Izuku's on the internet enough to know what that is.]

Hey, if you explain them to me, I'll know what they are the next time you use them!

[parodeity]

Well, you got a point there. Some of 'em I don't know the origin to, though, you know? It's just like. Memespeak. You pick it up and you don't entirely understand it but that doesn't stop you doin' it.

[inheritance]

[Is that really how it works??]

Then...I'll try my best to incorporate them into our conversations! Maybe then Strider-senpai will notice me.

[Never let it be said that he isn't a quick study.]

[parodeity]

Strider-senpai is known for his affection for memes.

He's also partial to fruit juice drinks and doritoes, just, like, if that ever becomes relevant.

[inheritance]

[Completely seriously:] What kind of fruit juice? And what are doritoes?

[parodeity]

Apple always. And also they are the best kind of chip and come in delicious nacho cheese flavor?
